Gamescom 2013: Your predictions

All I can think of for now.
Housemarque reveals its SSDH followup and everyone's ocular nerves shut down at the same instant as their brains fundamentally fail to comprehend the stunning visual simulacrum of pure, particle-pulverizing pandemonium.
 
Sony:
Media Molecule Next-gen reveal
Quantic Dreams Next-gen teaser
PS4 UI Demo
EU PS4 Launch Window (ie Holiday 2013/Spring 2014)
Vita & PS4 price drops
Sony Bend Vita Game
GT Vita

Microsoft
Black Tusk Game Reveal
Indie Games Pub Details
EPL Deal of some kind (probably similiar to NFL)
Extensive UI demo
 
Regarding the Vita ..

- New Ass Creed - Rising Phoenix
- Ton more PS4/Vita indie games
- Vita price drop to $199.99
- Maybe some actual demonstration of PS4/Vita remote play and further highlighting new Vita firmware features
- FF X Vita gameplay
- One or two more Vita game announcements (Ghost Recon Vita) .. maybe something from Bend (they've been quiet)
 
MIcrosoft

They will announce some type of family sharing - Gold Members Only

Jesus, you're about to be let down 0_o
 
Vita

Fifa 14 gameplay
Injustice Gods among us
Football Manager
Worms Revolution
Angry Bird Star Wars edition
Angry Bird regular edition
Gods Of War HD trilogy
The Amazing Spider-man
Walking Dead


Maybe vita

Hotline Miami 2
Assassins creed
Call of duty

99.99999% unlikely but a guess

GTA vita
Gran Turismo Vita
The Sims Vita

100% certain they won't announce but would be a dream, even if they just teased as games for the year 2014 and beyond

NHL vita
Star Wars Battlefront for a 2015 vita release
Red Dead Redemption

I think we'll be lucky to see 4 of all the above and a bunch of indies
 
My long-shot prediction: Agent formally announced and dated during Sony event.

Betting on PS4 release before Xbox

Crackdown 3 for Microsoft
 
Yeah, it's just unlikely they'll all be announced at Gamescom, or even half. More likely E3.

Sony has more games coming in 2014, so why should they wait until E3 2014 to first announce them? Sony already let us know many games are being made for the PS4 within it's first year on the market, so I think it would be dumb of them to hold onto the announcements until the same year they release.

I think Sony realizes that they need to get more info out about the games they will have available for their new PS4. Microsoft teased a new HALO, teased Quantum Break, teased Sunset Overdrive, teased Titalfall as exclusives they have over the PS4, and all those are at least 2014 games. So many people think the Xbone has the games over the PS4, but Sony needs to bitch slap those fools back into reality.

Well you don't know that those are the games. And because some won't release until after June so they're best saved for E3.

Unless you really think Uncharted, and all those games are coming March - June ....

I never listed Uncharted, only The Last Guardian teaser trailer. I know those Devs have teams working on new PS4 games.
 
Sony
Release date announcement (mid November in North America, early December in Europe).
Limited edition PS4 Driveclub bundle for Europe.
PS4 focus solely on games, games and games. No media stuff in Cologne.
Killzone: Shadowfall multiplayer reveal.
Media Molecule's new IP demonstrated.
LittleBigPlanet 3 unveiled for PS3 and PS Vita.
New Assassin's Creed announced for PS Vita.
PS3 and PS Vita price drops, presented as new 'value' bundles.
PS Mobile to rollout in more markets.

Microsoft
Release date announcement (early/mid November in North America, late November in Europe).
New game from Lionhead Studios.
No Crackdown 3.
A fitness game for Xbox One (possibly from Ubisoft).
Xbox One TV announcements for Europe (Sky, Orange, KPN). Possible football deal(s) as well.
World of Tanks (Xbox 360) beta goes live in Europe.
State of Decay PC release date announced.
 
Realistically for Microsoft:

- Release date for the Xbox One announced
- Indie Game Platform discussed in detail, and some XBLA style games announced alongside it.
- An extended trailer of Black Tusk's game, but I'm not convinced it will be gameplay. Probably CG or Ingame trailer at best.
- Gameplay for Quantum Break is a possibility. Maybe more ingame cutscenes and a look into the television show instead.

And choose 1-2 of the three:
- Crackdown 3
- Rare Project (I have a feeling that Rare is outsourcing more than just Killer Instict for some reason)
- Lionhead Project

Realistically for Sony:
- Further highlights of their Indie Game offerings.
- Gameplay for The Order
- Pricedrop for Playstation 3. The price between the PS3 and PS4 are simply too close at this point.
- Pricedrop for Vita. They need to stimulate sales.
- Media Molecule's new game
- Maybe the return of SCE London beyond Home
- Tarsier Studios new game. I have a feeling they'll have a Media Molecule like debut.

I think the rest will be saved for TGS and subsequent trade shows.
 
Not so crazy but lotso predictions for Gamescom:

[PS3] The Last of Us season pass DLC reveal trailer.
[PS3] Beyond: Two Souls gameplay trailer.
[PS3/PSV] Little Big Planet 3 from Sumo Digital/Tarsier/Bluepoint announced for 2014. Cross Play/Cross Buy.
[PSV] Syphon Filter Vita from Sony Bend announced for 2014.
[PSV] Assassin's Creed Vita from Ubisoft Sofia announced for Holiday 2013 with bundle.
[PS4] October 29th release date.

[360/PS3/PC] Dishonored: GOTY Edition announcement.
[360/PS3/PC] Borderlands: GOTY Edition announcement.
 
The only way I see a price cut for the Vita is if bundled with the PS4 otherwise I very much doubt they will drop the price until spring next year.
 
Realistic:
Sony
  • PS4 Release Date
  • Media Molecule New IP Reveal
  • GG New IP Reveal
  • More gameplay demos for announced launch titles
  • At least two new Vita games revealed/announced
  • At least 2 more PS4 launch window games announced
  • Detailing of other PS4/PSN services

Microsoft
  • XB1 Release Date
  • Crackdown 3 Reveal
  • Reveal/Announcement of game teased by CBOAT
  • Detailing of XB1 Self Publishing and Indie Program
  • At least 1 more XB1 launch window game revealed

Third Parties
  • [SE] FFXV new gameplay reveal
  • [SE] FFX/X-2 Release Date
  • [SE] LR New Trailer
  • [EA] New trailers for their recently announced games
  • [EA] FIFA 14 Info Blowout
  • [UBI] New AC game for any platform
  • [UBI] New trailers for recently announced games
  • [UBI] Reveal of at least 1 new IP for next gen consoles

Unrealistic to Impossible:
- PS4 Release Date is mid-to-end of October
- XB1 price drop from 499 to 399 or announcement of Kinect-less SKU
- 5 or more new games by SCE revealed for PS4
- 5 or more new games by MS revealed for XB1

Do both companies have only one hour for their respective keynotes?

I hope we really have a good Gamescom show. I'm really looking forward to it. :)
 
What I want:
Vita price drop + Killzone Mercenary Bundle (game + console + PSN + memory card for cheap cheap cheap)

What I will get:
Half assed Killzone bundle.


Thats my prediction. Let us watch and enjoy.
 
Microsoft
Black Tusk game revealed
More Halo 5 footage
Crackdown 3 reveal
Kinect 2 games will be shown
More games with gold details, most likely will be games or how it will work with xbox one


Sony
Reveals a new game
Gaikai details
More services being added to PS +
Titanfall announcement
PS3 price drop
 
Sony has been saving several PS4 game unveils for Gamescom.
 
Microsoft announces Epic will release Fortnight as PC/XBox One exclusive. (Maybe even dropping the PC platform)

Fuck I would hate that so much. I've been waiting on more Fortnite info and is one of the reason I decided to build a PC for gaming.

Predictions:
Sony
Media Molecules next game
SSM game announced
Naughty Dog game Teaser. I would guess just a name and logo with full reveal at the VGAs
a PS4 release date.
And more PS4 features

MS
Black Tusk game
Some reversal on their Paywall stuff.
Release date
and another game reveal
Probably another Quantum Break trailer.
 
vitas dropping the 4gb, and shifting all cards down a slot to make room for a 64 gb card.

pricing stays the same for the tiers though. it ink sony is going to try to make it through one more holiday season with a full price vita since its not being marketed as a tag along to ps4.

vita price drop in spring.
 
Microsoft will 180 again. About what, i'm not sure yet.

Maybe a new game or two from both Sony and Microsoft.

Release dates for both systems.
 
Microsoft
-XB1 release date
-Will show that Black Tusk game in trailer form reveal (remember the teaser? yeah I barely do either)
-Will piss off even more ppl by not dropping mandatory kinect bundle.



Sony
-PS4 release date
-Surprise announcement of new Triple AAA IP
-Special bundle of PS4 and Vita retailing $500-$550

Konami
-Will show a MGS 5 in some form
-Will announce Castlevania LOS2 release date






Nintendo
-
LOL
 
Reading a lot of posts in this thread I wonder if many of you realize that Gamescom is not E3.
It's a convention specifically about *games* like the name suggests.
It doesn't gravitate entirely around Sony's and Microsoft's conferences.
 
Sony:
-Vita memory card price cut. (Maybe just wishful thinking)
-$50 Vita price cut.
-Slate of additional indie games announced for Vita. (All in all, not a long showing)
-Demonstration of Vita being used for remote play.
-Three new PS4 titles announced. (Gameplay for one of them, the other two are teasers or short trailers without gameplay.)
-Teaser to let everyone know that The Last Guardian is still in the works. Nothing more.
-And hell, why not? Someone says "The Agent." (Highly doubt it though)
-Basic UI shown for game switching or something like that. (Not expansive.)
-Release date. (Late Oct for US, mid Nov for EU)

Microsoft:
-One new title announced. (Trailer, probably not actual gameplay.)
-More Titanfall and Forza gameplay, maybe CoD as well.
-Spend time showing off Fifa. (It won't look as bad as it did the first time they showed it.)
-UI shown off in depth. (Not final)
-Talk Halo's future and bring up Spartan assault and why it's a great reason to get a Surface.
-Talk about future indie approach and how the Windows ecosystem will be a big benefit.
-Release date. ("World wide" launch mid Nov)

Nintendo:
-Push Wonderful 101 and WW HD.
-Announce plans for more game specific "hang out" areas like the Animal Crossong one on Wii U.
-3DS integration in future games suggested vaguely.
-More Mario Kart 8 gameplay.
-Announce a new color (Or several) for the 3DSXL.
-Continue to toe the company line that upcoming games will be system sellers for Wii U.

Others:
-Still a lot of split gen looking stuff. Unclear about what things are really running on.
-No big game annoucemts outside of the above first parties.
-CDPR shows off a lot more of their work.
