Well people, the E3 2012 is coming in less than 1 month.
Let’s warm up for it, with the announcements people want to expect, as well as announcements people don’t want to expect.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!

i want a new timesplitters, a new turok, a new warriors game, the last guardian, agent, and the new god of war.
What I want:
Mafia 3 Announcement

From Sony:
Last of Us - gameplay (possible multiplayer/co-op details)
God of War: Ascension - SP gameplay
PSALBR - More gameplay and characters announced

From Microsoft:
Halo 4 - SP campaign gameplay/more MP details
Possible Next Xbox official announcement (coming fall 2013 maybe?)
From Nintendo:

Honestly, Microsoft doesn't seem to have too much up their sleeve other then an announcement of a new console and perhaps tech demos showcasing next-gen hardware. Nintendo is going to push the Wii U and try and show why us hardcore gamers want it. And Sony seems to have a lot up their sleeve and just a lot of anticipated games coming our way. We will see what happens but I am most excited to see Sonys showcase.
