I don’t typically do this, but with the Microsoft presentation being mere hours away, sure! Let’s allow me to ramble on what I’d like to see and what I’m expecting!
Microsoft - It’s all but confirmed we’re seeing the next Xbox today, and I’m slightly excited. I’m almost ready for the future were we stick with the same console with updates, like PC, but for now I’m looking forward to the Scarlet. Slightly a pipe dream on this one, but I’m remembering that old rumor that Microsoft will eventually dump their subscription fee for Gold, and I do think that it could be possible if Game Pass is doing what they were hoping. I can’t predict what the new studio acquisitions have been working on, but we’ll see something, and I think they’ll be more news about what they’ve been secretly working on with Nintendo.
Bethesda - Are they tone deaf enough to showcase Fallout 76 or Elder Scrolls Blades? Maybe, and probably. I have a good feeling about remasters for Fallout 3 and New Vegas as well since those rumors have been around for a while, and that’s an easy way to get fans back. So easy in fact, that I’ll eat them right up myself! Would prefer more of a remake style, say with Fallout 4’s graphically style and combat, it would be since to have a Fallout 3 with grenades that aren’t useless, but it’s probably a simple remaster if it’s happening. Other than that, more on Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield, which i have no really comments on myself.
Devolver Digital - They count and I live for the joke that I’m in on! Maybe some Metal Wolf Chaos or My Friend Pedro, but I’m just looking forward to the show!
Ubisoft - Okay sorry but let me just do what I do every year and say what I know won’t happen but always secretly hope for: Tonic Trouble Remastered! Literally have nothing else to say other than looking forward to their show, it’s always fun.
Square Enix: Final Fantasy 7 remake, Kingdom Hearts DLC, things we’ll have seen at Microsoft’s conference first. Sorry Square but you always leave a lot to be deserved, which means I’d love to be proven wrong but I’m expecting that I won’t.
Nintendo Direct - Just read a leak today that the Treehouse is 40 minutes long. That’s pretty great, I’ve fallen hard for the Treehouses over the years and they help make E3. We’ll definitely see more for Mario Maker 2, the next Smash fighter, and I think a few things we’ve not talked about yet.
We’ll see how all of these stack up by Tuesday!
