Weekend Confirmed 115 - E3 2012 predictions, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Dragon's Dogma
by Garnett Lee, Jun 01, 2012 11:00am 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.

It's getting a little tiring listening to vidocs and interviews and having to sit through the whole "we're working hard to preserves the things that make Halo Halo but also thinking about what we can ad to the formula" spiel. I get it guys. But I have to say, watching that gameplay ... it really does look like the Halo I love with a nice helping of new stuff. It's exciting to see a new direction, the franchise needed it, but until now I had serious doubts. Looks like loads and loads of fun. Can't wait.
