I hope Beyond Good & Evil 2 is announced

DeadlyFire4365d ago

Its 50/50 possible. While Assassin's Creed 3 is aimed at 2012 release. BG & Evil 2 could be aimed at 2013. Thus showing it only adds hype to next year and not really effecting AC 3 at all.

Price Drops are very likely. Why? Well if new consoles are announced. Then old ones will get a cut sometime in 2012 as their value to consumers has just been lowered and likely new 28nm chips are being prepped for this as Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo will be ready for this so they don't lose cash flow.

Xbox Handheld I do question. But what the hell is Xbox Fusion then? Its still possible.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is likely to happen at some point. 2013/2014 release wouldn't be a bad thing. If next consoles are what they are waiting for.

Xbox 3/PS4 being announced. Certainly Microsoft has Halo 4 and Sony has God of War 3 and other titles being announced and shown, but if they are announcing a new generation of consoles the only logical thing to include would be backwards compatibility if you are still making games for this console gen as well.

WiiU name is starting to stick, but certainly calling next console Nintendo U doesn't bother me. Still possible.

GTA 5 WiiU port more than likely. Almost certain I do believe. Especially with GTA 5 aimed at possible 2013 release.

HL3 will not be at E3 it has already been said.

Apple/Steam isn't going to happen, but it wouldn't be impossible for Valve to sell/pitch their R&D project to Apple.

B!TCH....... Just give me Syphon Filter 4.

JBSleek4365d ago

Pretty good list actually yet I believe that PS3 will get caprice drop along with Vita. And GTA5 may get some trailer. I also see Nintendo console name change. Still good list though.

brendan44444365d ago (Edited 4365d ago )

Im expecting nintendo's new time machine and travel back to the time when i actually give a sh*t about their games/consoles

linkratos4365d ago

If you replaced Nintendo with Sony in this comment it would have 100 disagrees

MASTER_RAIDEN4365d ago

Right on dude. ive honestly lost faith in just about everything nintendo is up to. their idea of innovation just isnt my thing. im not even sure what to file the wii u under. is it a console or an add-on? they just always seem stuck somewhere in between "sort of nifty" and "STUPID".

@linkratos of course that sort of comment would receive a ton of disagrees, as it should.
youve got to admit, sony is probably the most steady and balanced of the big 3 when it comes to e3. they have a pretty consistent flow of quality exclusives. why wouldnt you be excited about solid games?

THESONYPS34365d ago

your right with one of the things you said. (GTA V trailer)

yabhero4364d ago

I almost have hope for N4G to be a balanced loving gaming community, then i see threads like this I i'm reminded by how anti-Nitnendo this site is...
and no one wants to admit it...
like linkratos comment
"If you replaced Nintendo with Sony in this comment it would have 100 disagrees"
he is exactly right, but he gets 14 disagrees...
Sony I would agree is usually the most blanced when it comes to e3, but Nintendo has it in the bag this year unless someone else announces a console... which they wont

TheFirstClassic4364d ago

It's the internet, and this is a gaming website. We will never have a peaceful community.

This site really isn't blatantly anti-nintendo, we have trolls for each company/system. I would say nintendo is favored more than ms on this site though, and of course Sony is favored them most.

I don't really know whether I like Nintendo or Playstation more but I think you're right, Nintendo should have this e3 in the bag.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this e3 though, Sony should be announcing some major games, and Nintendo will be showing Wii Us first party games, hopefully including pikmin 3.

torchic4365d ago (Edited 4365d ago )

Kingdom Hearts 3 is in development?

that is a very bold statement sir. I would imagine that the whole KH team is working on Versus XIII. don't even think they have a single drawing for KH3.

Steadyhndz4365d ago

I forgot where I read it, but there has been some speculation that a secret team of programmers and other types of video game development workers have been working on the game for several months already. Not saying it's true, but it did have some facts that are 100% true that only make it seem like they're working on it...or just a big title.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.

Final Fantasy's Strongest Canonical Magic User Is... Donald Duck?

Final Fantasy features many strong characters, but an unlikely character from Kingdom Hearts is able to cast ​the most powerful spell ever seen

gold_drake344d ago

he was already my favourite disney character and one of my favs from KH and then to see that amazing spell too. aah so good xD

Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.

This Kingdom Hearts Boss' Unpredictability Gave Me Sekiro Vibes

Kingdom Hearts is filled with otherworldly boss battles, but only one stands out like a phoenix dancing with ethereal grace across the night sky. Before we embark upon a discussion concerning Kingdom Hearts' exceptional boss battles, it may be prudent to first reflect on the evolution of the criteria for appraising video game bosses. This criterion has undergone a major metamorphosis over the past decade; one that owes much to the profound influence of From Software and its iconic Souls series.

"Yozora is much more than a grueling secret encounter; he is a reflection of what Kingdom Hearts' bosses should be"

No thank you. If every boss in Kingdom Hearts was like Yozora, the series would be unplayable. That's not to say that they shouldn't include such challenges, but making them fundamental to the game would be too much. And don't say that this is what the From Software games are, because Yozora is absolutely harder than most of the bosses in those games. He is waaay faster, has a ludicrous number of abilities (and does them in random order AND can chain most of them together), and punishes you severely if you make a mistake. On top of that, you have to survive this onslaught for a really long time because of how much health he has. It's borderline too much - for me at least. Still, it's a stunning battle.

OMNlPOTENT355d ago

I agree, while I do really enjoy the Yozora fight, I think it's far too difficult to be anything more than an optional boss. However, I do believe that there should be more bosses that are in the same weight and size class as Sora, as the majority of those in KH3 were the best fights. The giant heartless bosses just aren't as enjoyable.
