E3 2013

As you may or may not know, E3 is in a few days. What do you expect to see from each company?

From the Xbox ONE, I expect to see two things:

1. Games. Lots of games. Lots of support for games and gamers.

2. Lots of ass kissing and damage control for the media fiasco regarding their shenanigans.

Pretty much what Blax said except for the part where we expect them to apologize and fix everything. They're no doubt gonna keep the DRMs in their console regardless of the negative feedback and hope their dozens of exclusive games will change our minds.

Recently there was an announcement of Rare saying they're going to bring an iconic revival of a franchise. If it's Killer Instinct and is only on the Xbox One and not 360 I'll be pissed, and knowing my luck that would be the case.

I don't see MS removing the DRM feature either, but I do see them sugar coating it and explaning consolations at E3 to smooth it over.

They could go either way on the always online thing. It's a feature that isn't necessary at all, even on their end, so I could see them dropping it. But they might just be stubborn.

As far as games, well, I'm hoping for more new IP's and less sequels, which we might get because 1. This is the start of the new console generation, and 2. I feel like sequel fatigue has settled in quite a bit. From what I've seen, a lot of sequel games didn't sell as well last year as publishers were hoping (sans the obligatory CoD release), so I think that's a message to publishers and developers that they need to step it up.

Microsoft will never apologize Nemesis. uhuh

Isn't that what I said?

I wanna see and know more about the Oculus Rift so far. A presentation on it'd be nice. Been following them since the start. And/or some more stuff on the Virtuix Omni treadmill.

Looking forward to what Nvidia's got up their sleeves too.

I expect complete details about the Xbox One and PS4. Also, how many new exclusives games each system will have.

Hoping to hear on:

Bioshock Infinite DLC
Some sort of Battlefront 3 teaser
Pokemon X/Y (Which I guess won't technically be at E3, but the ND should still count)
New multi-plat titles

I'm not as interested in Sony or Microsoft as I should be (since I don't plan on getting Xbone or PS4 for a year or two) but those conferences should be exciting all the same.

I'm hoping Kojima is trolling us and we find out that Hayter is still the voice of Snake. 😮

Hopefully something like this happens during Kojima's presentation

Maybe something from Valve? That would be sweet but unlikely.

I'm actually expecting a big showing from MS, considering how underwhelming their Xbox One reveal was.

I would not be surprised at all if they announce some major exclusive or timed exclusives from EA, such as Dragon Age III or something.

If it's only temporary, I'll just wait for DAIII to be on the PS4. Xbox One will have some awesome exclusives to show off, I'm sure, but no matter how tempting they look, I still don't think I'll go buy a One due to the flaws that were brought up at the reveal. If they want me and others back, they have to remove the Used Game DRM, let us play offline should we ever take our console somewhere that doesn't have internet or if we somehow lose connection at our homes, and let us turn the Kinect off whenever we don't need it.

Hahahah, people will buy it if it has games. People will always buy a console if it has games.

PS4 has games and is not anti-consumer to boot so...

I seriously doubt MS will remove the DRM.

If MS confirms DRM for the One, and the following day, Nintendo announces a unified account system for the Wii U/3DS, that would be a HUGE win for Nintendo.

That wouldn't really matter. Nintendo isn't really directly competing with MS or Sony anymore. What MS or Nintendo does has no real affect on the other anymore.
