I swear I can remember the Last of Us 2 released a year ago and everyone gurgled about lesbians for a month and then never talked about it again, so either I'm a prophet or I had some vivid false memories of it. So there's my prediction: The Last of Us 2 will release in 2019 and everyone will gurgle about lesbians for a month and then never talk about it again.

The E3 announcement had dyke stuff that was talked about more than the scripted gameplay they showed.

What's interesting, is that while PC and consoles seem to be getting the brunt of wokeness thrust upon them. Mobile games seem to be free of that sort of thing. Pity I hate interface and quick fix endorphin gameplay with an attached cash shop.

Probably because there is next to no regulation when it comes to uploading mobile apps. Consoles are easy to regulate because of all the hoops a developer has to get through before their work shows up on the market, same with PC's, albeit a bit more lax, and also that's mostly through larger DRM-locked providers like Steam and GOG.

App stores however, all you need to do is pay the annual fee which is like next to nothing, and then you can submit apps every single god damn day. There is next to no regulation because it is impossible to monitor it all.

Also, and let's be honest here - it also comes down to how big of a target and how much bank is behind it for people to bitch about it. The PC crowd is going to screech and cry about AAA games because that's how they can get attention, but smaller niche titles they aren't going to crow about.

Warriors Orochi 4, a game that came out on consoles just a few months ago, nearly every single female character dotes on some man and their biggest interests are either cooking or how to be a good wife. But because it's a niche game, not a word, not a goddamn peep from the PC crowd. Why? Because who the fuck cares about a game with an small install base?

Same idea applies to mobile gaming. Most of these titles probably are lucky to move a few thousand copies- it isn't worth the time or energy to bitch about some big ol anime tiddies game when they can be spending their time shrieking about how you can punch a woman in Red Dead Redemption 2.
 
-After Capcom sees that pumping in money into Street Fighter V proved to be a failure, the game sees massive cuts in the scene. And Bandai Namco will fail to utilize this opportunity to try to prop up Tekken's pro scene.

I think Capcom is going to try and focus on community goodwill for a while; they've just removed Yoshinori Ono from head of that division and replaced him with the Monster Hunter World director - probably a move away from the multiple season passes, DLC costumes, and mediocre games they've been known for; for awhile.
 
  • FO76 will be silently closed in summer
  • Need For Speed will get turd of a game in 25th anniversary
  • Anthem or DA4 flops and bury BioWare in result
  • US will ban lootboxes :optimistic:
  • R* will announce a new game :optimistic::optimistic:
  • R* will announce GTA VI with female protagonist, /v/ is outraged; later they reveal she will be pornstar and REEEEra reacts with outrage :optimistic::optimistic::optimistic:
- Saints Row will be rebooted, will try to cater to all audiences and appease none.

Agents of Mayhem is sort of Saints Row reboot; too bad it's just a bland game
 
- Microsoft buys Bethesda, makes Elder Scrolls 6 exclusive.
I can see this being done successfully, if not by Microsoft then by someone else.

The thing is, it'd have to be an asset acquisition. That would allow any buyer to pick and choose any IP and trademark they want while avoiding the liabilities that would normally come with outright buying a company. Plus they'd have to spend tons of money on a Domino's-like PR campaign where they say "Hey our products might have sucked in the past but give us another chance. If you give us enough preorders for the next Elder Scrolls, we'll shoot Todd Howard out of a cannon and into the sun."
 
An underwhelming update on Death Stranding. Cue applause from some and confusion from others.

Anthem tanks hard, EA gives Bioware a violent death. Whatever can be salvaged from Bioware's violently murdered corpse is handed off to other studios owned by EA.

Yeah... I bought Agents of Mayhem as part of sale last year for $10 which included the bonus characters and all that crap... and yeah... that was easily one of the most underwhelming gaming experiences I've had in the last decade.

Changing subject onto predictions...

After releasing six female characters, a giant black guy, and a fucking hamster as new characters, Blizzard releases a new white guy into Overwatch's roster and is IMMEDIATELY set upon by games journos, saying how sexist a company they are and how dare they not have any female representation.

In order to save themselves they say that the white guy is gay and Jewish which was revealed in a special Hanukah comic, this makes everyone even more mad for obvious reasons
 
EA will release more lootcrate / microtransaction BS, Nintendo will announce another terrible Fire Emblem that nobody wants, F-Zero will still not get a new game, some new cancerous MOB game like Fortnite will be released, and the remasters will ironically be the best games of the year.
 
- Hideo Kojima and Norman reddus finally get married and have horrific nightmare babies together.

Fixed, just watch his Twitter when they are together is pure fujoshi material I would not be surprised is there a doujins of those two

Sega Saturn emulation improves, prices of consoles skyrocket even more because youtubers go nuts.

Already happened Mednafen 1.22.0 was released a couple of days ago

In my predictions

Anthem suffer for some crippling issue day one, in a optimistic setting it became the next Destiny after shitload of patches

Ubisoft finally decide to stop being idiots and decide to bring Splinter cell back in some form (the dlc of ghost recon doesn't count) they announce the release date of Watchdog 3, that weird space game they were doing and probably child of light 2 that to be fair is one of the few games I actually like from them besides Valiant Hearts

Nintendo keep doing whatever they are doing more weird things are announced for Smash , probably launch another new IP for mobiles considering the success of Dragalia Lost, Metroid prime 4 is released and Wu tweet something moronic about how now Samus is totally trans now for reals

Square kill FF XV quietly, Final fantasy 7 is not released, the Chrono franchise remains death, Valkyrie profile is keep festering in mobiles, another dragon quest is announced, something utter ridiculous is announced for their shitty FF Mobage like when they included Ariana grande , Einhander 2 is announced :optimistic:, Left Alive for some reason became a good game

Bandai keep pushing SAO games and keep updating Xenoverse 2 even when Fighterz is still there, more Naruto and one piece games, etc

Valve keeps pretending they are developing games, they release more portal VR games instead of releasing portal 3, Artifact tank more harder than the HMS Hood , but now they have the monopoly of anime tits

The store of epic games don't manage to put a dent on Steam, but remain there with some pitiful exclusives and games that you can get cheap in Humble store

There is not going to be a PS5 or a new Xbox, you already have them , they have to focus now in keep pushing games or if they want to make people buy PS4 OR Xbonex put exclusives in there, not Microsoft or Sony can do a Nintendo and release a slightly powerful platform and get away with it, they have failed in releasing gimmicks for their consoles

Cyberpunk 2077 is released and is fuck awesome but the shadow of Deus Ex will haunt it a little

Sony get assblasted for their rampant Nintendo 90's style of censoring ,how is possible that people are getting their anime tits on the freaking Switch?

Toby fox manage to get a crack elite team and begin to work in the other chapters of Delta Rune

Díablo Inmortal is hacked by some Chinese and change all the characters for boats of Azur Lane

Blizzard keep bleeding money until some shareholders decide to purge the infection of SJW to make the company profitable again

Capcom release a new Megaman X game, they were hinting it recently in some stream

Bloodstained is released , fuck all the other metroidvania games of that year

EA keep being the worst thing since Hitler and the Soviet Union but because normies like to play FIFA/NBA they will keep afloat , no more Última or Wing Commander because they are dicks, wasted opportunity if you ask me they could capitalize of the people angry at Bethesda/Star citizen/Blizzard

Star control keep being a very good game with more expansions , shame that wardell did not manage to get the rights of SC2 by far the best of the old SC but the new one is also good

Fortnite keep being the game by Excellency , is so popular that here kids know the dances but have never played the game

Metro 3 is released, is awesome like always

The new game of Brianna Wu is delayed until Trump is out of the white house, a sad day for kiwis around the world

Gaming press keep wanking Celeste

In some timeline the X68000 mini is announced people around the world rejoiced for all those perfect arcade ports

Konami keeps pretending that metal gear survive was not a gigantic failure, release a new Castlevania that is meh because IGA is not there, probably going to push a new ZOE or another franchise they have not given a damn in a long time (Goemon maybe?)

From Software finally announce a new armored core, mechasexuals rejoiced

Someone will play the new ace combat with full top gun cosplay and the official top gun joystick

Metal Wolf Chaos is officially released internationally, and there will be much rejoicing, but the port might have some bugs. Most people probably won't encounter them.
 
regulations on loot boxes reaches new heights forcing companies to think of other ways of collecting data, which in turn will lead to an implosion of many companies and a new precedent is set in a weird post apocalyptic games industry.

Bannerlord gives new footage to fans, appeasing the the eldritch beings behind it all.

Relic comes back in to the fold releasing a new company of heroes.

THQ nordic continues to gain old Ips and re-releasing said Ips, giving it new respect in the scene.

Creative Assembly announces new 'historic' total war, trailer is released showing a female general which is unreasonable for the times the game is set in, OR they announce a new deal with GW announcing a 40k esque game set in the Horus heresy.

a For Honor like 40k/fantasy game is announced.

Space Marine two is announced.

Republic commando is remastered and released alongside Imperial commando.

more to potentially follow.
 
A new game will come out that the developers know is terrible. So they feature "minorities" in prominent cast roles and make a big deal of their "diversity" in the marketing. On launch, they will heavily imply that anyone who criticises the game must be a Nazi, probably helped by a handful of Useful Idiots who send slur-riddled death threats to the cast (whilst nobody can find any evidence of these death threats, it is made clear that doubting their existence also makes you a Nazi). Woke news outlets will clutch their pearls about this and give the creators millions of dollars of free publicity whilst writing hand-wringing editorials about how white males are to blame and calling the cast and developers "brave". Someone will blame Gamergate.

Or maybe it will be a film. Or a TV series, or a comic. Or all of them. Multiple fucking times.
