E3 predictions (meme)

Posted: April 13th, 2006 | Author: Simon | Filed under: Clippings | 2 Comments »

This post is intended to function as a meme. I’ll write my predictions for E3 and then you add yours in a comment (and I’ll update this post) or send a trackback to this page from your own weblog with your own predictions. Let’s see how many we get right.

Ah, sweet crystal ball, show me the future….

I predict that on E3 2006 expo…:

  1. … at least 5 AAA games with the name “Black” in it will be announced.
  2. … David Jaffe will announce what his secret PSP project is all about.
  3. … Blizzard will announce the new Alliance race.
  4. … Nintendo will reveal the titles of the 20 game that will the ready for the Revolution launch.
  5. … Nintendo will reveal some more information about the Revolution…
  6. … and therefore E3 will be a Revolution bonanza… everyone will talk about it.
  7. … Sony and Microsoft will have (their own) people talking about how powerful their respective consoles are.
  8. … Will Wright will show another 35 minutes presentation of Spore and every jaw in the room will drop (again).
  9. … Peter Jackson will announce that he and Michel Ansel is working on a new game based in the King Kong universe.
  10. … Michel Ansel will announce that he is working on Beyond Good & Evil 2
  11. … Harmomix will officially announce that they are working on Guitar Hero 2, but it’s not what we’re expecting (acoustic guitar anyone?).
  12. … Bungie will announce that they are working on Halo 3… no Halo Zero… no… Halo X… no Halo Black… whatever…
  13. … Sony will announce a price cut for the PS2
  14. … Microsoft will announce a price cut for the XBox and the XBox 360
  15. … Microsoft will deny that their are working on a new version of the XBox 360 with HD-DVD, a larger hard disk and a less noisy fan, but will nonetheless have release such a version before next years E3
  16. … Microsoft will not talk about their portable XBox, because it will take focus away from the XBox 360. They will not deny the existence of the portable XBox, but will just not talk about it.

Now go predicting, I’ll keep this page updated.

    [...] Speaking of memes, Simon mentioned an E3 predictions meme. My one and only prediction is that Zelda Twilight Princess will not be a Gamecube game. I predict they will announce that it is going to be a Wii launch title. Complete with collector edition sword and shield Wii controllers. And a weekly visit from the neighborhood bully to kick your butt because you bought a console called “Wii.” [...]
