21 Predictions For E3 2007

With three weeks remaining before the start of (the much slimmed down) E3 2007, Gaming Target tries to play Nostradamus and relays 21 predictions they think will come true at the big show. Some of the predictions include:

#1 Firm release dates for Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Galaxy

#2 Sonic's participation in SSBB will finally be confirmed

#9 Killzone in real time will blow everyone away

#14 Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4 will stay exclusive to the PS3 (for now)

#21 Take-Two will pledge massive support for the Wii including a GTA collection

Kool article. It even has Mortal Kombat! (But new MK game is not secret, they already announce MK8 I think)

drtysouf216163d ago

Wonder if it will be a radical change in the franchise.

Odion6163d ago

Personally i thought it was pretty dam boring nothing cool in there

Odion6163d ago

they didn't have a single positive thing for the 360

Bill Gates6163d ago

That's because there is NOTHING positive about that hunk of crap.

hahahahahhahahaa

They did put a little one at number 20 that they said was unlikely:

"#20 Kingdom Hearts X refers to an Xbox 360 version
Square-Enix doesn't do cagey. They let you know what they're up to and when they'd like it to happen. Then whatever they said is negated a few months later when whatever it is they're working on gets inevitably delayed. But they don't seem to want to discuss anything relating to the project company executives are referring to as "Kingdom Hearts X." Why? Because I believe the X stands for Xbox 360.

This belief jibes with two recent statements from the company about their future projects. First, an executive was quoted as saying "The Xbox 360 slate is empty as far as it comes to Final Fantasy." Meanwhile, the company's CEO, Yoichi Wada, stated that the company will focus on multiplatform gaming because that's what the market demands. Before this, Square-Enix has basically ignored the 360 (a port of Final Fantasy XI and the unproven Last Remnant don't count) and if the PS3 and Wii have Final Fantasy games locked up, what's left for the 360? Kingdom Hearts X, that's what. The 360 gives the company the install a game like Kingdom Hearts needs and the graphical abilities that developer Tetsuya Nomura wants. "

What about #5? "Dead Rising 2 will be announced."

That sounds pretty positive for the 360 to me.

BitbyDeath6163d ago

Dead Rising 2 is going on both the PS3 & 360 so that's prolly why Odion didn't count it

gta_cb6162d ago

do you even own a next gen console? i know you dont like Xbox 360, but i doubt you even own a PS3 either.

drtysouf216163d ago

Me either. I think this will be the biggest E3 ever.

Phantom_Lee6163d ago

really?
I mean....I personally think it will be just some new movies....
but i guess its just me

gta_cb6162d ago

yeh i cant wait either. i dont care if its not as big as before, as this is the first one i am going to be watching as before i never knew it existed lol

PS360WII6163d ago

Well after reading it you can deffinatly tell the guy wants Nintendo to own the show. I mean almost everything on that list is something good for the Wii.

To Odion they did say that maybe, just maybe Kingdom Hearts X is meant to be a Xbox 360 titles. That's pretty positive if you ask me

UJUSTLOSTONE6163d ago

I was just going to say er, type that. The best predictions in the article were about the Wii, Most of the Negative comments were about the PS3 and Xbox was just somewhere in the middle. This wasnt a good read.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv728h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii10h ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast7h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM4h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
