E3 2011 Predictions

[Flabio]

What? Like how Nintendo had several sucky E3's in a row?

Nintendo's had a couple of great E3's in a row. It's the other 362 days in the year they struggle with, lol

Nintendo have had some awful E3s. The Wii Music one was among the worst showings one of the big companies have put out, wasn't even so-bad-it-was-good (although it did produce some lollersome image macros).

They do seem to do their product unveilings better than MS or Sony though. Maybe it's because they've put out 3 unique consoles in a row so they're not just "look at the graphics!!!".

People aren't expecting much from the MS conference because they've made noises about it focusing heavily on Kinect, something that resulted in a terminally boring conference last year (it wasn't bad so to speak, just really really dull). Also, when two other companies are revealing consoles and you're not, third place seems inevitable.

[Neon Ignition]

It feels like Nintendo is good at keeping stuff under it's belt for the conference whereas too much of MS and Sony's ares are leaked extensively before the show which winds them. Sony is good at showcasing their stuff a lot whereas MS often feels light on content and heavy on fluff like last years OTT circus show. Presumably though they'll reveal something on Xbox 3 next year so will steal that one instead.

I want the Nintendo Translator back! HE was awesome!!! Someone find some vids / gifs!

What I'd actually like to see at E3 is Sony parade the hackers responsible for the PSN hack, along with death warrants for all of them and have KB execute them live on stage.

Intrigued as to why people think they already know everything MS are going to show... I don't, and I work there...

Microsoft are the leakiest company around, they can never keep anything secret!

Hoping to see Thief 4 at the show as it's been in development since 2009. Also looking forward to seeing X-Com and Syndicate, even though I'm not too chuffed with the reports that Syndicate is more GTA now. I would've much preferred the game to be like the original isometric game.

[EvilBoris]

Yeah, Isometric games in 2011. That has HIT written all over it

Lara Croft did it last year!

[EvilBoris]

I think they did not bad with the 360 re-design though.

[EvilBoris]

MS have been super quiet since the launch of Kinect, they must have some aces up their sleeve
