Weekend Confirmed 115 - E3 2012 predictions, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Dragon's Dogma
by Garnett Lee, Jun 01, 2012 6:00pm PDTE3 predictions! You love 'em! You hate 'em! You hate loving them? Whatever the case, The two Jeffs, and Insomniac's James Stevenson join Garnett to offer up plenty of forum fodder in anticipation of the big event next week. The crew tackles the big three--Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo--in the order of their respective press conferences. Does Xbox as a living room entertainment gateway give anyone goose bumps? Can Sony shake the Vita bottle hard enough to make a genie finally appear? Can Nintendo successfully answer "What would Mario do?" Of course, there's also time to talk some about the design plans for refining Diablo 3, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, and Dragon's Dogma before wrapping it up with Finishing Moves.

I found the Splinter Cell: Black List demo to be really cool, but I'm not excited about Kinect integration with that. I'm hoping we'll see some more gameplay showing its return to its roots in the coming months, but I can understand why Ubi decided to show off that demo instead for "action" purposes.
I found the Resi 6 demo to be completely underwhelming, and the Tomb Raider demo while incredibly cinematic and visually arresting, was too scripted for me to really see what I enjoy about those types of games and in particular this incarnation that is said to focus on survival and choice.
I'm excited for Forza Horizon, and I'm very curious to see what LocoCycle and Matter are about.
