Pretty please? :)

Here's my picks, ridiculous or not:

HARDWARE

• 3DS Redesign
• Vita with TV-out / add-on capability
• PS3/360 price drops or new bundles

SOFTWARE

• Half Life 3
• Street Fighter 5
• BlazBlue vs. Guilty Gear
• Metal Gear Solid 5
• Super Meat Boy 2
• New "Souls" game

Yours?

Hate to burst your bubble but I don't think any of those games are getting announced. 
 
I expect a lot of Vita and a lot of Wii U. 

A new 3DS model that doesn't grossly underestimate DS game playtimes. What a load of shit that is.

Team meant already said they aren't doing a sequel, not that this actually means it wont happen in this day and age but i do expect they will announce something.

I'm really hoping for the 3DS redesign, since i sold mine i've been considering getting one but the sheer worry of a redesign in the near future has held me back, when it happens i will be more than happy to shell out again, maybe ...

I feel like it is a bit premature for this kinda thread. 1 week before is when there's a ton of hype and when people are the most excited about the topic. I might give some predictions later anyways, but I'm kind of in the middle of something right now.

@Lunar_Aura: I think you mistake your personal wishlist for predictions. Predictions should be based off of facts, hints rumors and be realistic.

We know HL3 is not happening (Gabe said they're not announcing anything new at E3), SF5 already sounds just weird, MGS5 is not happening this gen and I don't see any indication that Team Meat is thinking about a sequel to SMB, despite its success (they are not EA or Activision, after all).

I personally don't believe Nintendo is gonna do a 3DS redesign this year. They got big software coming that'll hold them over another year. Next year, when they have the Wii U out of the way, I can totally see them doing a 3DS refresh. Vita won't get a new model either. Unless it loses functionality and becomes cheaper (that's how Sony does it apparently... *sigh*).

I see a Vita price cut being possible, though. I doubt they want it to turn into PSP-again ..again.

Other than that, I really have no idea except for some Wii U related stuff (Retro's new game, new Monolithsoft RPG teased due to Xenoblade hype, etc). I'm hoping for some connectivity between the 3DS New Super Mario bros 2 and the Wii U game that's based off the NSMB.Mii tech demo from last year. That'd be cool.

Everybody will be disappointed and will loudly voice their disappointment to the detriment of coherent discourse.

A new Call of Duty game this year I'm calling it!

People will still complain about motion controls.

Predictions for E3 2012

MICROSOFT PRESS CONF.-

• Halo 4 singleplayer demo is short and looks like Halo. Audience is forced to sit through 15 minutes of some annoying guy talking in front of a Halo 4 logo.
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Blacker edition is revealed. Microsoft PR pretends that it is exclusive, while going "SSSH" to the audience.
• A slew of new Kinect games fills for time, fails to impress anyone.

NINTENDO PRESS CONF. -

• Wii U is shown off in front of a full orchestra. No gameplay footage is actually shown in video, but instead a film of way-to-photogenic families playing mystery games is shown off. Music by some new indie darling is used in video.
• Reggie does a lot of talking, name dropping titles which they don't show.
• New Mario looks a lot like every other Mario product.

SONY PRESS CONF. -

• Sony shows off more Kratos. Audience goes "meh."
• Little Big Planet 3 reveal.
• Metal Gear Solid Rising Revenegeranencnanece is demo'd on stage. Sony pretends it's not on the Xbox.

UBISOFT PRESS CONF. -

• Is horrible.

This is probably 89% accurate, sadly. Still love E3 though.

Nintendo is going to announce a ton of games and surprise people!

@allworkandlowpay: Wow, the total opposite of whatever crazy world the OP is living in with his predictions. Kinda disappointing, but there will be some surprises, like there always is, and E3 is always fun time. Especially when the conferences are horrible.

This.

My guess is some awesome news for us Castlevania fans. Lords 2 and a handheld game.

Sony: Jack Tretton will outdo himself from last year and manage to say "3D" 345 times in a 5 minutes speech, will pretend move never existed.

Microsoft: Kinect is still "great" for hardcore games, lots of Halo 4. Fable The Journey will be "the shit" according to the guy talking about it.

Nintendo: Wii U will have *gasp* Mario and the assortment of sequels to all of its spin off. New Zelda tech demo but no official announcement. No new franchise. Sadly no new quality Metroid either. New 3DS with 2 sticks.

Pretty please? :)

This is pretty perfect, but I'll add that Microsoft will announce some exclusive collaboration with yet another legendary Japanese game designer, may or may not be a Kinect game.

Konami will also have a live video conference just before E3, tagging onto the conference like some kind of remora. It will be awkward, it will be enthusiastic, and it will be amazing, but not a single exciting title will be announced.

E3 this year will be all about Valve.

Persona 5 is announced.

Every major announcement will be leaked at least 48 hours before it is actually announced.

Persona 5 is announced.

@H2Oyea: It gets a full reveal then.

Xbox Live will become free(free multiplayer) and you'll only be paying for the non-gaming services: Netflix etc.

PS3 & 360 & Wii price drops.

PS4 will be under 450$

COD Elite 2.0 will be Microsoft exclusive.

Timesplitters 4 for all consoles(not gonna happen..ever).

"Sony Smash Bros Brawl" trailer and possibly on stage gameplay.

COD Elite type services for all the EA Sports games announced as Microsoft exclusives.

God Of War 4 gameplay

On stage footage of the new Naughty Dog game

GTA V will be a 6 month exclusive for Sony.

I predict that Nintendo will announce 6 new games that involve Mario.

One week before is when everything leaks. It's too late by then!

Oh shit! The new Naughty Dog game, I completely forgot about that.

I really have no idea what they're gonna be showing, I've never been good at predicting E3 stuff. I just hope this year will have more surprises then the last couple of E3's. AS long as I see some AC3 and The Last of Us, as well as some cool new announcements I'll be happy. Although I'll be fucking ecstatic if they start talking about new consoles because god damn the ones we have are old. Look at Witcher 2, BF3. The time is now.

I predict that there will be an E3.
