E3 GAF Final bets

All on black...

EA - "EA sports , it's in the game" star wars battlefront 2, am exclusive destined for 2018, new IP/concept.

Microsoft - Scorpio. "We got tons of games" (don't announce many new ones). Show off titles from previous conference. New Halo, new Forza. Clean , simple conference leaving fans excited.

Ubisoft - Terrible jokes, forced swearing, legit trailers but ones that make you realize they are similar concepts to ones that burned you so badly in the past. New splinter cell announcement that isn't a crossover with the new dance dance game.

Bethesda - honestly no idea. Maybe end by showing a brief glimpse of the new elder scrolls or the space game and out an early 2018 date on the screen.

Sony - "thanks for buying and making the current player base so high". Mostly trailers the entire show . Expect and hope for a dreams release date. GOW, days gone, spiderpig. Sucker Punch end the show giving us a look at their new title. Probably a brief look at the newest COD and Destiny since they are getting this Sony marketing funds. Yakuza 6 moved to December 2017 release :)

Nintendo - 400m dash for 30 minutes. Mario shown off for 4 minutes , no other game shown off longer than 3 minutes. Either Metroid or mother 3 to close off direct. Treehouse will announce new smaller titles or give air time to titles we know about but are not released yet.

Hopeful that Atlus can get some screen time on either Sonys or Nintendo's presentation. Also hope Microsoft announces a new IP that can take advantage of the Scorpio . Finally I think this E3 will give a good feeling to most gamers no matter what console you are on. All of them are doing their own thing in a way.
 
"Final bets" means your reach for the stars dream games

I feel like many people didn't understand the intent of the thread lol
 
-Insomniac's Spiderman will get a 2017 release date (my most unlikely bet).
-The Scorpio will be priced $450 for the standard model and $550 for an Elite bundle (comes with an Elite controller).
-Almost every game at Sony's show will have a release date.
-Death Stranding will show up in some capacity.
 
If Destiny 2 beta starts during the E3 I promise I'll stop wishing everyone else's dreams never come true when I see a shooting star.
 
I bet that Nintendo won't show up a new mainline Metroid or F-Zero. I'm willing to use a Reggie avatar.

Spider-man won't be a 2017 game, willing to bet a avatar of a Paint-made spider.

If Microsoft announces over 3 new first-party IPs (no third-party moneyhats) I'll use a Scorpio avatar.

All bets worth 1 month, if they overlap (Spider-man being 2017, Microsoft with 3 new IPs, etc) I'll mix them using Paint.
 
Nintendo will disappoint because of no megatons and no Metroid.

Microsoft will be lacklustre with regards to first party.

Sony will have a good conference but probably no surprises.

Gaf will meltdown about something.
 
A new 3D Metroid, inspired by the first Metroid Prime. A whole new story, playing on an unknown planet with an intricately connected overworld.
 
New Devil May Cry game revealed

Wolfenstein: The New Colossus will be revealed

The Evil Withiner will be revealed

Death Stranding won't be there

The Last of Us 2 won't be there

PixelOpus' (Entwined) next game will be an "available now" moment in the Playstation conference

Cuphead will be an "available now" moment in the Xbox conference

Scorpio will be $449

Something Halo-related will be there

Amy Hennig & Visceral's Star Wars game will be fully unveiled

New Splinter Cell game revealed

Dreams will get a public beta date

Xbox Predictions -

Launches with 1 month free of gold and Xbox Game Collection thing
Crackdown flag ship game
Scalebound present in some form
Assassins Creed Origins shown 4k 60fps

Screen shows Destiny 2 gameplay -
camera pans down to fps counter on console

A No More Heroes 3 Trailer.

Nintendo will disappoint because of no megatons and no Metroid.

Microsoft will be lacklustre with regards to first party.

Sony will have a good conference but probably no surprises.

Gaf will meltdown about something.

Betting it all on being about Nintendo.
 
Zelda Breath of the Wild Story DLC will be shown and it will turn out to be an Epilogue to the true ending.

If that happens, I will wear the crest of The Legend of Zelda 1 as an Avatar until it releases(probably longer though).
 
Square Enix will announce a localization for Dragon Quest XI. I give it a 70/30 chance of happening at Sony's press conference, too.
 
FFVIIR part 1 releases this year- I will change my Avatar to Nomura with a caption insulting myself.

Devil May Cry 5 announced- I will pre-order it.
 
Screen shows Destiny 2 gameplay -
camera pans down to fps counter on console
4k 60fps only way to play on console

I'm pretty sure Bungie have already announced that it's 30fps on everything? Plus, considering Sony have the marketing deal for it I expect there's some kind of requirement that the Xbox version cannot be superior to the PS4 version.
 
Lucas Arts makes a comeback
Xbox exclusive

New Monkey Island Winter 2017
New Grim Fandango Summer 2018
 
Xbox Predictions -

Screen shows Destiny 2 gameplay -
camera pans down to fps counter on console
4k 60fps only way to play on console
Pretty sure you're joking (due to fps counter), tho I'll happily wager anyone here $10 USD that D2 won't be 60fps on Scorpio. Any takers?
 
Safe Bets:
- More TLOU 2 images, gameplay, movie, whatever. Will be last on Sony's presentation.
- Classic multiplayer is back for Assassins Creed Origins.
- Launch date for God of War.
- DLC Trailers for RE7 "Not a Hero" + new DLC on the way.
- DLC Trailer for BOTW Story DLC.

Medium Bets:
- Super Smash Bros. 4 DX (For Switch) aka. WiiU + 3DS stages, Gamecube controllers are back with the adapter. October 2017.
- RDR 2 will be shown at Sony's conference to the surprise of many.
- Scorpio named XBOX 10 because LULWINDOWS10ECOSYSTEM.
- Halo 6 teaser... In 4K.
- Crackdown 3 date.
- Monster Hunter XX = Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (or Gen DX, because everything is DX now on Nintendo). January 2018.

Unsafe Bets:
- Metroid Prime Open World by Retro, March 2018.
- Shenmue 3 finally gets gameplay.
- Final Fantasy VIIR will get new gameplay.
- KH3 will get Star Wars and Frozen world.
- PS4 PRO $299.
- BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL 2. Last game on Ubi's conference. Yves will introduce it. He will make 18 "claps" before the trailer.
- And as always: The meme, Half Life 3, if it appears, Sony's conference. Something like what happened with Portal 2. Steamworks will be an app on PS4.
 
If Bloodborne 2 is announced at Sony's conference I'll change my avatar to something the taker of this bet chooses.
 
Safe:

Scorpio is named Xbox X as in Xbox10 and costs 399.

Unsafe:

Bloodborne 2 is coming Spring 2018
later delayed to Q3 2018
.
 
Now for my outlandish bets:

AAA Streets of Rage reboot made by Platinum

Destiny 2 ps4 beta starts at E3

HL3 announces as a steam exclusive

MS announces Steam compatibility on Scorpio windows 10 mode with subscription to Windows 10S operating system.

Internet melts
 
Virtua Fighter 6 announced.

Kazuma Kiryu, The Dragon of Dojima himself, is in the Roster.

Someone think of an avatar change bet stake, if this does not happen. Please thanks.
 
New Metroid announced.

If yes: I'll finally crack open and play my Prime Trilogy.
If No: I'll finally play my copy of Other M


Looks like I'm finally playing Prime Trilogy. Love 1 and 2, never owned corruption until Trilogy at which point I didn't have a Wii.
Time to dust off the WiiU. Backwards compatible baby!


...I might also play through Other M anyways. ;)
