GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Sunday, May 3, 2009

I rarely make blogs dedicated completely to video games but I can't resist making this one. The excitement for the coming E3 seems to be unusually high and that excitement has rubbed off on me.

But before we start, remember this: I do not need to give out a source for the things I write below, cause they are "pre-dic-tions", these predictions were made with the help of my crystal ball that I bought for $2.89 at McDonalds, it came with my Happy Meal. In my opinion, you can not get a more reliable source than that.

Crazy predictions

PSP2 Revealed
Rumors about a Playstation Portable 2 aren't exactly new, but the speculating has increased dramtically since the PSP turned 5 years old in December 2008. Gamespot just had a recent Rumor Control article summarizing some past rumors and adding some new ones and after reading it, it really feels like this announcement is close enough to touch.
More predictions: It will be a UMD-Less 20+ GB PSP with a big touch-screen that you can slide up slightly to reveal the remotes (just like you do with some cell phones).

Team ICO reveals a new game

ICO was their first game released in 2001, here's a trailer on youtube. 4 years later, in 2005, Team ICO released Shadow of The Colossus. 4 years later, it's 2009, and we're waiting for another unique title with the same awesome atmosphere as it's predecessors... now in HD.
More predictions: With the news of an upcoming movie, I see an opportunity to make a new Shadow Of The Colossus game, in an attempt to make the interest in two different projects flow over to each other.

More Crazier predictions


New Halo
Yes, I said it. They'll probably announce that they're going to make ODST into a trilogy.

Xbox 360 Diet
Has microsoft ever made a slim version of their consoles? No. A complete re-design might be just what they need to shake that fat boy image off.

New Square Enix Game

Kingdom Hearts 3. Or possibly a Final Fantasy game for the Wii or DS in the same Universe as FF13 and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. They've done it before with Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (DS)

Microsoft and Sony will both reveal more info about their motion sensing controller projects
The Micromote and Sonymote will be able to out-do the Wiimote in accuracy and range, you will be able to hit a TV from 50 yards instead of 10.

Most Craziestest Predictions

Price changes for all three consoles
Here's how I think it will happen: A bundle version of the PS3 will sell for $299 this summer, Xbox 360 will sell it's Arcade for $149.99 immediately after E3, Wii will raise it's price to $499 because Nintendo think they can get away with it.

Duke Nukem Forever will get a release date
November 09. When asked if that's 2009 or 2109, the producers and developers will cough, mumble and run away.

Shigeru Miyamoto will make an announcement
He will shed his fake ears and reveal that he is really an elf, and that the Zelda games are indeed an autobiography. He'll continue by claiming that name changes were made in the franchise to protect the true identities of the people in the games. This will of course be followed by rumors concerning the suspicious similarities between Reggie Fils-Aime and the lovable Gorons.

After E3
When ALL these predictions have turned out to be true (even the craziest ones), all Gamespot users will rush to the E3- and System Wars boards to try and make the first thread stating how boring and uneventful this E3 was. Then they will spend the next 6 months arguing about who had the worst keynote...


Wait, that last prediction isn't crazy at all. Anyway, that's it. Can't wait to read all of your predictions and impressions in a few weeks. E3 is only 4 weeks away now!

A crazy prediction would be Final Fantasy VII remade for PS3.... I'm really waiting for info about a PSP2 .

a new ssx. lol
Posted May 3, 2009 6:34 pm PT
N-REAL - We can always dream... unfortunately, Squeenix likes to make ff7 fans cry regularly.

Vix - Yeah, like I didn't see that coming... not that crazy though.
Posted May 3, 2009 6:49 pm PT
lol a psp2
Posted May 3, 2009 7:01 pm PT
Shiggy making an announcement? Oh Hungry surely you jest . Although that part about Shiggy being an elf would indeed make my day .

I can actually see the ODST becoming a trilogy, but there's also the Peter Jackson helmed Halo project that's supposed to be a trilogy in its own light. That'll more than likely, or rather hopefully, make an appearance.

What I would like to see is another installment in the Ogre Battle series.
Posted May 3, 2009 7:17 pm PT
I can't wait to see some of the things that will be announced.
Posted May 3, 2009 7:40 pm PT
I want RE:CVX2. That'd be awesome.
Posted May 3, 2009 7:56 pm PT
Bring on Duke Nukem Forever! In 3009!
Posted May 3, 2009 9:44 pm PT
I'm loving all these predictions too! haha.
Posted May 3, 2009 9:44 pm PT
I always knew Miyamoto was an elf! But seriously, if the PSP2 is UMD-less, what do you do for games? Download them off the net? Sounds very very bad. I don't htink the market is ready yet for internet-dependant machines, because even if someone had a fast enough connection, there might be other problemsm that could prevent the machine from connecting (see Nintendo DS; Nintendo Wii), thus making the PSP2 useless.

You and me both hope for Kingdom Hearts 3...I was disapointed when it wasn't annoced at TGS last year

I think the makers of Duke Nukum Forever will try to kill anyone who asks questions about it
Posted May 4, 2009 1:01 am PT
@Yagr_Zero - I jest not, that Shiggy event was as clear as day light in my crystal ball... kinda. And wow, Ogre battle, it's been so many years since I heard about that game But big revivals like that aren't impossible anymore, look at Starcraft.

@dubel_07 - Code Veronica X 2? Yeah, as long as it isn't just another re-make.

@clownofpoetry - Well thank you and I'm not sure if the world can handle the awesomeness of a game that's been in development for over a thousand years.

@JustPlainLucas - Well, I have no idea if they'll replace the optical drive or remove it entirely, I'm just "sure" that they'll leave the UMD format with it's power-guzzling drive and 1.8 GB disc limitation behind. But I think I've said it before, I'm not really a big fan of digital purchases myself.

@PJ24 - There's been talk about KH3 in every game convention since 2007. Now feels like an appropriate time to show some footage.

Those really are crazy. I just wanna see what games they're working on. That whole motion-sensing thing is useless on the PS3 and 360 in my opinion, that's Wii's thing.

GET HYPE FOR E3!!
Posted May 4, 2009 6:00 am PT
Hellyeah! Kingdom Hearts 3! Now there's a prediction I hope comes true. Miyamoto being an elf sounds realistic, because the only other way to come up with stuff like that, AND enough of it for a whole series, is by doing drugs. And I like your predictions on the prices.
Posted May 4, 2009 6:03 am PT
JPL made a great point about the PSP2. What would be the media storage for the PSP2? An internal dependant machine, while a good idea, in a lot of countries, there's is people without internet access....

I guess it's my time to
Posted May 4, 2009 6:15 am PT
havent we been waiting for duke nuken for like forever,,,,lol
Posted May 4, 2009 7:29 am PT
New Halo? Not in a million years. And I also doubt Duke Nukem Forever will get a date; I don't think it's ever coming out. Motion-sensing 360 and PS3... What I would like to hear about is what is happening with Alan Wake.
Posted May 4, 2009 10:41 am PT
Hehe! I think the new team ICO game is a given. Speaking of ICO, I should probably go and try that again sometime... I hated ICO when I first played it, but after loving SotC I'm wanna give it another shot. *adds to backlog*
Posted May 4, 2009 11:05 am PT
Duke Nukem will get a release date?!
Posted May 4, 2009 2:40 pm PT
First Egonga making a videogame blog, now you! What has the world come to?!

I honestly don't see the use of a touch-screen PSP. They should work more on actual games to play on the PSP if you ask me.
Kingdom Hearts 3 isn't a prediction, it's already in the work I really hope that $2.89 for the crystal ball was worth it, because I'd like to see the prices for the consoles age in the near future...I want a PS3 so badly.

Oh, and you know as much as I do the last one isn't a prediction. It's more of a case of history repeating itself than anything. With all that said and done, I'm still watching the E3 coverage anyway.
Posted May 4, 2009 6:04 pm PT
A new game from the ICO team would rock.... I loved SotC and have always wanted to play ICO
Posted May 4, 2009 8:45 pm PT
Remember guys, these are "crazy" predictions so don't have too much hope... i don't want to be the cause of a lot of disappointment come E3. >_> and okay, I guess the last prediction doesn't leave much room for disappointment.

I've always wanted to play ICO too, but stuff always get in the way. I Love Shadow of The Colossus though.

The Duke Nukem announcement is totally the prediction that I believe in the most... even more than Shigeru's announcement.
Posted May 5, 2009 2:30 pm PT
I'd like to see a PSP2, but they REALLY need to do something about the design of the thing this time around. I liked the PSP, but the hand-cramps forced me to retire. Not to mention the *snicker* the 'analogue stick' XD

Not so sure about the Ico game though. They've sort of got a reputation for making 'artsy' games, and they might well throw a hissy fit and refuse to make a game until the Shadow of Collossus movie is in the bargain bins at DVD shops, just because it impunes upon their art.

Is that a word? Damned if I know.
Posted May 6, 2009 12:33 pm PT
Apparently impunes is Spanish for "unpunished"...or so Google says.

I would also like to see another game from the makers of ICO. While I never finished that game, it was fun enough while it lasted.

@Egonga - impugns

Posted May 7, 2009 2:18 pm PT
Thanks Kat / Shado for your translation and spellingingingness respectively.

However, I dare you to say 'Wrought with impugnity' without deepening your voice. I double dare you both.
Posted May 8, 2009 10:06 am PT
Egonga - It can't be done, saying it without a deep voice I mean. And claiming that all artists are childish nutjobs, is pretty much stereotyping... it's true... but it's still stereotyping them.
Posted May 9, 2009 5:14 am PT
nice predictions
Posted May 10, 2009 2:17 pm PT
all of them are looking to be true apart from the zelda autobiography and the duke nukem also the 360 slim looks a very long shot but realistic
