My predictions

Natal, move and general Ninty waggle disappoint me at least. I know many are looking forward to it the main issue i have is move is not showing me anything new its a more accurate wiimote ith better games to play on which I think will interest some. Natal tho is a wiimote without the remote and all reports so far point to mainly party parties which have plagued the wii already. I just hope Natal isn’t shoehorned into games just to make a point of using it like many early ps3 games did with sixaxis.

my personal hopes are to see something of Lightbox interactives ps3 game, this is made up of former incognito devs who made warhawk on ps3 still my fav multiplayer experience this gen. A new uncharted wouldn’t go a miss and a raft of new titles which haven’t been announced already.

There are a lot of big ‘knowns’ going into this years E3. Gears 3, Killzone 3, Infamous 2, New Wii Zelda, Last Remnant, Agent, Portal 2 and Rock Band 3 to name a few.

Valve has also pretty much confirmed episode 3 for Half Life.

Its pretty safe to assume the 3DS is going to be stunning, with a new Mario and Kirby game. And that the Playstation Move will have support for at least one big franchise aside from SOCOM. I’d go for a brief trailer from Quantic Dream. But really I cant see myself getting excited about it.

The 2 really interesting bits of kit are the Vitality Sensor and Natal, probably because they are unknowns. I’ll admit I laughed my leg off when the Vitality Sensor was announced last year, but I expect a new Silent Hill to be showcased with it as well as the new Zelda being incorporated.

Natal will have a version of EA Sports Active, a Yoga game, Fable 3 and a version of Just Dance from Ubisoft. Joyride will be re-released with Natal support. They will save the big reveals for the new Rare game (i’m going for a new Perfect Dark with head tracking), and it will end with 343 Industries unveiling a new Halo game, which will feature Natal support.

Microsoft will also have a raft of new features for Live, including clan support within the party mode (cross game), updated Friends list numbers and grouping (so I could put all my MLG friends grouped together), and Hulu for US residents.

Spotify will also be announced shortly after for Europeans. Facebook and Twitter will be integrated into the guide so that you dont have to launch a seperate application.

And thats me out of ideas and predictions :)

I love the suggestion about a Nintendo announcement for a new online service. That’d be great to see, it’s much needed at the moment. Friends codes were a bad idea from day one.

The big show stealer this year is going to be Nintendo with the spanky new Nintendo 3DS.. Reports are claiming it’s going to have processing power close to PS3 and 360.
To quote from an IGN article. “To provide stereoscopic 3D effects the system must have the ability to render each game field twice, one for each of the player’s eyes, a technique that will require significant horsepower to produce.” so it’s going to need that spunk the next gen consoles have hogged for the last few years.

I’d rather Nintendo announce a new online service, without friends code but with gaming rewards, more than them just revealing a new console altogether.

I can see Microsoft showing off the integration of the windows mobile 7 and xbox live, a new hardware revision with natal built in possibly and larger HDD. Would like to see sony produce some info on the PSP2 but can’t see it happening this year. Maybe nintendo will surprise us all and show off a HD Wii.
