e3 Predictions (Goldeneye Wii)

[Ginkasa]

I'm calling BS on that list. Everything that stands out to me is designed to cause some sort of violent reaction. Besides, where is it supposed to have come from? I could make that same list in five minutes.

I mean "The Legend of Zelda: the [sic] Fall of Hyrule?" Sounds very exciting, but it just falls into the same rumors that were around when TP was just announced. Its also far from the usual pattern that Zelda titles fall into. It sounds like a crappy fanfic.

There is also no way that Mass Effect 3 would be a Sony exclusive. I could buy that they might port over the first two games and have ME3 multi-console, but it wouldn't be a PS3 exclusive. That inclusion is entirely for the purpose of seeing rabid fanboys go nuts. Its not impossible, I suppose. Dumber things have happened, but I just can't imagine how EA could possibly think there's a larger profit to be made for the final chapter of a trilogy to be released on a console that neither of the previous games were on.

So, anyway, rumors and predictions are fun, but only if they're not... dumb.

You never know...don't forget Resident Evil 4 was suppoused to be a Gamecube Exclusive, and it was for quite awhile, before it was finally released on PS2.

I should just point out that there is a 99% chance that the list is a fake. It looks to take known entities and add some out there predictions.

That was a slightly different case though.

I mean there is no logical reason for EA to make Mass Effect 3 PS3 exclusive, if anything else I can see it being ported to the PS3, but exclusivity doesn't make sense at this point.

Kevin Butler will show up and Sony will win the conference because of it.

As far as Nintendo goes, we'll see their Vitality Sensor used, and my guess is that it'll be packed in with Wii Party, similar to the packaging of Resort/MotionPlus, WiiBo/Wii Fit, and Wii Play/Wiimote.

"Fall of Hyrule" sounds like fanfiction. Most Zelda subtitles deal with a main character or a critical item. My guess is that the title will deal with this woman/Master Sword. Hopefully we'll also see a Pikmin 3 reveal.

Nintendo missed a huge opportunity when they decided to launch a new Pokemon game for the DSi instead of the 3DS. The 3DS will sell, but can you imagine the damage it would deal if Pokemon was the title bundled, much less launched with it? They have another opportunity with a Mario Kart launch title, so here's hoping they do the smart thing in that situation.

We'll see more hands-on with Natal in some core-oriented games, but I'm still skeptical. The technology's fantastic, but it's less practical than Wii motion is for core games. No buttons? No tangible asset to hold on to where things like golf/baseball are concerned? Movement is limited to what I can do in real life? I'll pass. If Microsoft leans more towards Natal=accessible games rather than Natal=the new way to play, then they'll be heading down the right track.

This.

But ya, I agree with this probably going to be a pretty exciting E3. With all the new hardware introduced, it's going to be time to show off the big guns. Hoping for some cool Natal stuff - really eager to see what Rare is up to.

All I want from Nintendo is something-Zelda. Anything. It seems like we're gonna get something good, too. Looking forward to it.

And with Sony...meh. I'm not too excited about anything coming their way. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised. And again, KB please.

Apples and bananas. Resident Evil 4 was a departure for its series in both gameplay and story. It also was initially released exclusively on the originally announced platform and the series had been multiplatform before anyway so it wasn't too much of a surprise when it hit the sequel to its original system.

MAss Effect 3, on the other hand, will be connected to its previous games like no other game has before, at least to my knowledge. It has also ONLY been released on the 360 and PC so far. For EA to come out and release it exclusively for the PS3 would be very poor decision pretty much alienating most of the fanbase that made the first two games successful. It just wouldn't work.

Oh god if there was a pikmin 3 I will buy a black wii.
