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.

But if you really look for it, there's actually a lot of good stuff to be found at this year's E3. It's just all shown in side interviews and show floor videos.
Hell,l the Wii U's lineup actually doesn't look bad when you consider that the next Hideki Kamiya game (Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta) is going to be exclusive to it. On top of that, the actual gameplay videos and descriptions of Zombie U look REALLY interesting - it seems to be sort of a survival horror RogueLike or something - like a more polished version of Day Z. Also regarding Nintendo, Reggie just confirmed that Fire Emblem: Awakening is headed to North America... by mentioning it off-hand to a random reporter who had to tweet it to get the word out. One of my top games at E3 so far has been Dishonored - which has an excellent gameplay demonstration at G4's website.
I understand that when you show off games at the conferences it has to be in a way that will catch the public eye, but it seems to me that this too often betrays the true nature of what each company has in store. To me the press conferences might be starting to lose their relevance in the shadow of the real meat of E3.
