Well folks, we were just days away from one of the cornerstones of the gaming hype machine - the Electronic Entertainment Expo. The one event held (usually) every year where gamers come together to watch people hired by game companies try to feed us with hope and desire for more games to deplete our expendable income.
My predictions for this year's big showcases:
EA: Will make brief mention of Mirror's Edge Catalyst and then will quickly move on to dry humping Titanfall 2, and Battlefield 1. Will either cap off or lead in their show with Mass Effect Andromeda where we find out the main character is a pansexual furry Asari because Bioware likes to hit all the bases.
Bethesda: Will show off Dishonored 2 and a remastered Skyrim. Elder Scroll fans with bitch about not having Oblivion remastered. Also hoping for a Wolfenstein sequel that follows The New Order. Annnd.... I have really no fucking idea why they decided to have another conference. Just kind of hoping they kill E3 just like they did last year.
Microsoft: Will be showing off Dead Rising 4 - the return of Frank West, albeit not the Frank West we know and love. Will be showing off Gears of War 4, although not the Gears of War we know and love. I also have a sinking suspicion they will be the one to announce XCOM2 for consoles... an announcement we already know but whatever, Will be showing off some upgrades to the X1, if not an entirely new model. They will continue to rattle on about Indie games and show off Cuphead for the third year in a row. Phil Spencer will look constipated throughout.
Ubisoft: More hullabaloo about Open World games that you've already played to hell and back, went back to hell and left the game there. Watch Dogs 2 - Lulz Internet Culture has been confirmed and will probably be their crown jewel for the show. Will probably also announce the latest AC game which won't be out until 2017. More hype for Ghost Recon: Wetlands and a push for somebody, anybody to give a damn for For Honor. Oh and the Division, lulz, you get a 90 second sizzle reel to buy the season pass to play more of the same goddamn missions. Oh and if Aisha Tyler is back, she'll make everything uncomfortable again.
Sony: More sizzle reels, more hype for games that you aren't going to play for another year or two... and most of these games will either be remaster of older games or games like the Last Guardian which have been in development for forever. But that's okay because that's all Sony fans want... just more of the same shit just with new shininess to help them compensate that they should've just got a fucking PC. Only possible big news will come from the Kojima/Sony partnership, but the rest will be people jizzing over themselves because of some Final Fantasy bullshit.
Nintendo: Please understand. Zelda has been delayed until we release the Nintendo NX sometime in 2017. Please understand. here is another filler Mario game and some 3DS shit. Please understand. No, we won't mention anything about the Nintendo NX right now because we're fucking Nintendo and we roll that way. Please understand. Here, have some Zelda- that's all you little sons of bitches want away. Obligatory Reggie's-Body-Is-Ready joke. Please understand.
