Discussion RIP E3 2023; Predictions and Dreams

[Cacher]

That time of the year AGAIN! Although Sony has already blown their load, the upcoming two weeks should be fun.

Here are the usual rules:
Predictions (No limit): Just fire away!
Dreams (Up to 2): Dreams are dreams because they are precious and often unreachable. I know many of you want Half-Life 3, Knack 3, or Bloodborne PC, but you can’t have everything in life so the same applies here.

Dang looking back at my 2022 post, I was pretty spot-on for a good bit of it.

Let's see....

Predictions:

• Gears of War appears in some form, whether that is a remaster collection or Number 6
• Bethesda shows some Starfield gameplay that leaves people very divided
• Nintendo shows some Tears of the Kingdom DLC
• New Tomb Raider trailer/teaser

Dreams:

• Nintendo announces the first of their PC ports (lol)
• Shin Sakura Wars (2020) PC Edition

 

[Cacher]

• Shin Sakura Wars (2020) PC Edition

Man, what a dream. What a dream.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

My only prediction:

• Silksong - Shadow drop.
  Spoiler

  it's not going to happen

 

[yuraya]

Xbox
-Banjo returns.
-Dino Crisis Remake
-Perfect Dark gameplay blowout
-Gears remake
-Fallout New Vegas remake
-Dragon Age Dreadwolf blowout
-Quake remake
-Wolfenstein 3
-State of Decay 3, Hellblade 2 and Fable get release dates.


SGF
-Persona 3 remake
-Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 expansions blowout

PCGamer show
-SEGA surprise SMTV for Steam
-Counter Strike 2 trailer with new info

Ubisoft
-Prince of Persia remake
-Splinter Cell remake

NIntendo (probably in Aug/Sept)
-Super Mario 64 remake
-Switch 2 teaser


The remake generation continues I think we get a bunch across all remaining shows.

Edit: Also forgot about Starfield Direct. I think we finally see them show alien races. I expect at least 2 and one of them will be playable. I expect a faction too but it won't be one of the main ones. But alien races makes sense since they showed a bunch of alien species in last years trailer. Its clearly not gonna be some super realistic SyFy game.

Heh, looking at my last years post... I still have the same dreams. Vagrant Story and a Breath of Fire 5 ports that are good.

Predictions, these first 4 are actually just more or less lifted from my last years post too. Some are just slightly modified to fit this year.
Fantasian will be released from its Apple shackles.
Oceanhorn 2 gets a solid PC date.
Shadows of the Damned and/or Lollipop Chainsaw news.
Symphony of the Night PC port, plsz Konami.

Gears of War 1-3 collection/remaster.
That new Mass Effect is shown in some form.
Something new from Double Fine. Maybe it's Brutal Legend 2.
Actually it's probably one or both of the smaller games they paused during the backhalf of Psychonauts 2 dev when they put everyone on that game. I think I remember one being a Lee Petty lead game and the other was Derek Brand lead. Looking at their various Amnesia Fortnight games, Brand's game could be based on Kiln, that multiplayer pottery game they had one year. It's probably not Mnemonic at least, even though I would prefer that one personally. No idea what Petty's game could be, he hasn't been leading any public AF's as far I recall.
Like was mentioned by others, I also expect we'll see something from the Indiana Jones and the new Tomb Raider games.
Maybe something from IOI's Bond game.
Maybe Xbox actually has gameplay from one of the many games they have announced but shown only CGI trailers for.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Reavestered from THQ Nordic.
Actually now that I think about it, I'm also thinking we might get to see a Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary, Underworld trilogy remaster/complete pack too from THQ Nordic. It seems right up their wheelhouse. Can't really think of a good bad pun name for it though.

That's about it. I don't really follow the rumor mill too much to have a good sense of what might be happening based on that stuff.

 

[Shahem]

I'd love a Gears collection or just a Gears 2 remake.

 

[Line]

As usual, for me I just want surprises, and for the already announced games to just be good when they release.

But if I can wish for something cool, I want a new Katamari that use modern tech to get some fun physics into it, I think it'd work great.

 

[thekeats1999]

My Dreams are:

Sega remembers their PC porting initiative and gives us Skies of Arcadia.

Sony extend their porting initiative to PS1/2/3 era games.

a cheeky third one. S-E get their heads out of their arse and release everything on everything day and date

 

[Cacher]

Nintendo just released a Pikmin 4 trailer. I guess the direct dream is dead.

 

[Parsnip]

Shadows of the Damned and/or Lollipop Chainsaw news.

Thanks Volvy.

 

[Cacher]

Updating my predictions for the Nintendo direct.

Pikmin 4 new trailer
Layton new trailer
Deca Police, Baiten Kaitos remastered, Suikoden remastered get a release date
New 2D Mario reveal
Final Fantasy Tactics remake reveal
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War remake reveal
New Square Enix game
One more thing: Metroid Prime 4

 

[Panda Pedinte]

To be honest I don't know what to expect from the Nintendo Direct, I guess some cool indies that will also como to PC?
