I can see the 2 C.O.D. games, maybe one’s going to be for a handheld. I just think if they do have two it’s going to cause a lot of exhaustion from eventually because now there’s a Call of Duty every November, so to have two games out, it might turn away that core fan base that made them popular, and it might get those C.O.D. fans turning to something else like a Battlefield.

Rockstar has always been seemed like they’re too cool for these things, however I think I remember someone from Rockstar coming out for Microsoft’s conference with a IV temporary tattoo on his forearm a few years ago. Still it doesn’t seem like they’ll announce anything, but anything’s possible.

As everything stands right now, it looks like Nintendo’s year to really walk away big, Sony’s year of “apologizing”, so Microsoft is in that position where if they have something big, they’re going to surprise, if they don’t it’s going to be what everyone expects from them

Yeah there are wild rumors about Microsoft now that I doubt are true so I didn’t even address them including an xbox handheld and a kinect “slim” but they are under the radar so they could definitely come out of no where and surprise everyone.

Lots of good games coming out soon and I agree with all your choices there. I am very curious about Dead Island and if its playable (which I imagine it will be in one form or another) should be interesting to see how it lives up to that crazy trailer.

I say there is potential for 2 Call of Duty games because of the sheer number of companies involved in the brand. You have Ravensoft, Sledgehammer, Treyarch and Infinity Ward all working on Call of Duty projects. I would expect MW3 and possible the open MMO style COD to be talked about. I know I got a little bold in some predictions but that’s how you get street cred lol.

Rockstar avoids big announcements at E3 and lots of people are saying that GTA 5 is going to be announced and even their other project Agency may take a front row seat but I have a feeling they are going to wait till after the show to talk about what’s going on with them.

First off I’m just looking forward to what everyone’s going to do. The system companies all seemingly have something to say this year, except maybe Microsoft, which might turn out to be the biggest surprise this year. Nintendo’s has the new system, Sony has some games to push for the PS3, a launch lineup for it’s “NGP” and I wouldn’t be surprised if they roll out more free “We’re sorry” stuff, but then again I wouldn’t doubt if they just ignore it altogether.

I like a lot of the lineup of confirmed games, Top 5 in no order, Spiderman, X-Men Destiny, Dead Island (How do you live up to that trailer?), Batman Arkham City, and Hitman.

The rumored ones, I wait and see. It might be a little crazy to see two Call of Duty games considering they just released 3 trailers for Modern Warfare 3, but then again it is Activision, these are the same people that rode Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero into the ground.

I’ll just guess, even if Rockstar doesn’t do conferences like this, I think someone might announce a GTA 5 coming next year…Just a guess though.
