Next week is E3 time! For many, it’s the closest thing to Christmas, with roughly a million (give or take) new games revealed, along with gameplay and more from games we already know about. Thanks to this year being an especially leaky one, it seems that many of this year’s greatest surprises have had the wind knocked out of them.
That doesn’t mean that we aren’t in for more surprises though! It’s likely that each of the major platform holders and the myriad third-party publishers have a couple of secrets up their sleeves, ready to wow you with a shock announcement or two.
I have high expectations of Microsoft’s conference, especially. Sony’s barrage of great first-party exclusives and the significant lead that PlayStation has this generation means that Microsoft needs to really knock this E3 out of the park. How could they do that? There are rumours of more games in its core pillars – like a new Forza Horizon and a trip of Gear of War games (I’d play the hell out of a Gears Battle Royale. Just saying). What could really get me excited by Microsoft’s conference? Honestly, a new IP. Any new IP. Please.
There’s very little I can think of right now that’d surprise me enough that I’d become a giddy, screaming manchild. Half-Life 3? The Elder Scrolls 6 maybe? But what of you? What E3 announcement would send your excitement levels into the stratosphere?

I am craving for reboots of old games like Heretic, Blood, and Hexen. Hell, even a rebooted reboot of Duke Nukem. Am I dreaming hoping for info on the next Half-Life!!!

I’m not very excited for this years E3. I expect next year to have some major hardware announcements though.
New IP’s are always good, a Battle Royale mode added to GTA V may get me back into that.
And it’s definitely time for California Games to return.

A new Might and Magic game. Not the “Heroes” variety, the old school RPG where you had multiple characters in FPS view.
Some kind of variation of that. Yah, I’d like that a lot.

Both are already a few years old.
And I need console versions.
OOOO, speaking of console versions, Path of Exile on console would cause me to jizz in my pants.

HL3, don’t have good hopes for this. For 3 reasons.
1. WTF HAPPENED TO EP3???
2. Not enough attention will be given to the dev, because they will ride the hype
3. Not enough people will give attention to it, and it will die in obscurity, or be too expensive

From Software’s new game not being PS exclusive would be nice.
New Splinter Cell (already leaked maybe)
Big new RPG like ES6 or Fallout but not those games. Feel like a new universe and story.
But mostly just new IPs for Xbox. We don’t need more Gears, Halo, Forza.
