And that folks is how you get Twitter followers. Make the vaguest of statements predicting something will happen. Then you are certain that you will get credit for the tweet for even the smallest announcement

Why would Bruce Straley care about any of that?

But why already this year, there will be no time to promote the game

They don't need more than 6 months to promote this game. The market is there for it, 6 months of marketing will get the word out to those who don't follow gaming news and then BAM, release.

I believe Todd Howard or Pete Hines have even said that that's how they want to handle things from now on. They want to minimize the length from announcement to release as much as possible.
 
I'm hoping for quite a bit, most of which is safe in terms of predictions, but I'll add something that's unlikely to the end of each list just for fun.

Nintendo:
  • Metroid Wii U tease
  • Animal Crossing Wii U demo
  • Starfox Wii U demo
  • Zelda Wii U demo
  • Metroid 3DS demo

Microsoft:
  • Halo 5 campaign demo
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider demo
  • Scalebound demo
  • Crackdown demo
  • Forza 6 demo, day/night and weather
  • Quantum Break new area/scenario demo
  • Killer Instinct Season 3 tease (more at EVO)
  • Battletoads demo
  • Banjo tease
  • Gears remastered demo
  • State of Decay 2 tease
  • KI, Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC, and Forza Horizon 2 going to PC this year, more to follow next year
  • Shadow Complex 2 teased

Sony:
  • Ratchet & Clank Redux demo
  • Uncharted 4 new area demo
  • Guerilla RPG / Horizon demo
  • Media Molecule's new Play.Create.Share game demo
  • The Last Guardian demo
  • New Jak & Daxter teased

Third-party showings:
  • Resident Evil 7 demo
  • Kingdom Hearts 3 demo
  • Dead Island 2 demo
  • Sonic Team-made Sonic demo
  • Prince of Persia 2008 sequel in UbiArt engine
 
Like the other day dreamers in this thread - The Last Guardian is all I need....

And a dualshock 4 "pro" controller with better sticks and plastics. Maybe a swappable face plate. Magnetic cable breakaway.

I don't think you care about gaining twitter followers like that when you are one the two TLOU game directors.

This guy just needs to bring his own game to E3 with a decision of 60fps or 30fps set, getting a bit late in the game for that not to be sorted yet. Promising 60fps at the reveal was never going to be a good idea, Battlefront in particular is going to be fun to watch with DICE saying the game will have those kinda visuals at 60fps on consoles. Good luck dice, you're gonna need it! The Black Ops 3 news leak is looking mighty fine as well, really looking forward to their SP demo as E3 as always.
 
Just one prediction.

Zelda will be there it just wont be playable. I say this, because I can't rationalize it not at least having a trailer, there's no way to explain that.

What's in the trailer has me anxious though. I mean I don't want to argue, this is not what this is, but I really hope they don't listen to the internet and change Link, I hope Aonuma/Nintendo is smart enough to know that not everyone is ok with that, and that a playable Zelda is a perfectly fine middle ground.
 
my problem is that there are too many games that we've been given general 2015 dates for, and we're due for release announcements, it kind of scrambles my radar with what i think could be announced.

i want new ip's and fresh ideas, and i want those things on PS4. that's all, really. lets get those easy throw away announcements out via the PS Blog before E3, Sony. drop some bombs for once.

Sony participates in so many events that it becomes an issue picking content and/or spreading content.

They'll continue to have this issue until they figure out the right balance.

Three notable SCE announcements. By which I mean, titles that are going to create some good noise generally. There's more than three announcements planned by SCE (there was five year last year for example). But I imagine those three are going to be your bread and butter on the first party front when it comes to dominating discussion after the conference. Then there are your third party titles aside from that.

Are we going to see notable 3rd party exclusive announcement(s) this E3 (beside SFV)?

I wonder if the smartphone games Nintendo is going to show/announce (if they do) are going to be old IPs they aren't using anymore like Waverace, Famicon Wars, F-Zero and Metroid while having the big hitters like Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing on their Handheld/Console

I don't think MS is doing anything with VR considering HoloLens exists.

How would it be different from Skyrim though? What promoting did it have prior to E3? A teaser trailer, hands on preview, and some screenshots. All this would do is skip a press event, and go straight to gameplay.

Essentially at this point there are two options. A they stick to the Skyrim mindset, shorter time from announcement to release, or they've completely abandoned that and we see a Fall 16 date and a 5 year dev time which is unordinary for Bethesda. Until I hear otherwise I'm sticking with the former. Though possibly a spring release would be odd, but I could see it happening too.

sounds optimistic & realistic

Rime and R&C are first party. And Level 5's IP probably is too.

I'm not sure why some people think Deep Down's going to be at Sony's conference, let alone a beta announced there. It's not coming out any time soon, Capcom's prioritising Dragon's Dogma Online.

Same song and dance before every E3. And Gamescom. And that one PSX event. I won't list TGS though, 'cos that's been shit for years so no one has bothered to drum up excitement for it (and then it rather disarmingly got good again last year, but whatever).

Not to shit on Bruce or anything, and god knows he's delivered in the past, but I've been hardened by enough previous event shortcomings to not fall for this catch-all, hype-mongering kind of tweet anymore. Not that I'm constantly disappointed either - I'm not - but this whole very broad "Be stoked!" schtick tends to elicit nothing more than an eye roll now.

Maybe if he were a little more specific.
 
I only see TLG showing up if its out the same year. And it wont be out this year. So its not going to be at E3.


Sony really need to just officially kill that game at this stage and let people move on and give up.

I could see TLG being shown this E3 if Sony plan to release it in the first quarter of next year. Releasing it during the fall would be commercial suicide for the game anyway.
 
Now that I think about it.....

Do Sony have any "AAA" games coming from first party that are currently announced other then Uncharted 4?


I must be missing something.

The Last Guardian (Japan Studio)
God of War (Santa Monica)
Tearaway Unfolded (Media Molecule)

...I'm probably missing something too.

(I'm being strict on the first-party thing btw.)

Unfortunately, Zelda won't be at E3 this year :( But Metroid Wii U would more than make up for it though.
 
Right, I don't get what Bruce Straley would consider a rumour.

Where did he that rumour? He works for Sony's most treasured developer. Across the table at lunch, at the watercooler? Or did he just read a Tidux tweet? Like, who would he get a rumour from that he'd still consider a rumour? So odd.

Surely, at his level, he knows how to handle a secret/NDA. I can't imagine a head Naughty Dog overhearing something from someone and not being able to discern whether it was bullshit or completely true.

Just attention seeking.

Depends on your definition of AAA I suppose. Until Dawn and Ratchet & Clank Redux are still lined up for 2015.

Ueda already stated it was going to be shown at E3 this year. So thats not anything new. Most people just didn't believe him lol.

Released this Fall though? ... hmmmm
