Microsoft: With Sony out of the picture this year, I hope Microsoft goes big. Sadly I don't expect they'll have the content to do so. I'm definitely looking forward to the Gears games (Gears Tactics is something I've been asking for, for years) and getting a release date for Ori. If they can get some of their new studios to present stuff, that'd be awesome, but I think it's too soon for most of them. I don't expect more than a scorpio-esque tease for next gen.
Nintendo: Metroid Prime 4's delay hurts and there isn't much they have announced that I'm head over heels for. Maybe a SMB2 tileset for Super Mario Maker 2?
EA: Just don't screw up Jedi: Fallen Order.
Bethesda: Could really go for a Doom Eternal release date. Had Youngblood come out earlier this year I'd be down for a Wolfenstein 3 announcement, but I don't think they'll do it before people get a chance to play Youngblood.
Ubisoft: Watch_Dogs 3 I guess? I dunno, I don't think I've bought an Ubisoft game since Grow Up. (I'd totally take another one of those though; those games were chill as hell.)
PC Gaming Show: Honestly, I'm more interested in the behind the scenes politics here. It's being sponsored by Epic this year, so are they going to require all the games shown to be purchasable on the Epic store? Will they give priority to Epic Store exlcusives? I'm really curious to find out.
Square-Enix: Yo, what's Yoko Taro been up to? Also where the heck is that Avengers game?
All the Rest: Finding out what WB's greater slate would be interesting, between the rumors of various DC games from Rocksteady and WB Montreal, and that Harry Potter game, they sound like to be sitting on a ton of upcoming content.
Bungie might be sitting on a big announcement regarding the future of Destiny, depending on whether this is an expansion year or a full game year.
We're in a holding pattern until next gen, but I'll be looking forward to what pops up to fill in the cracks as releases start thinning out.
