E3 Predictions -- 2016 Edition

E3 is only a week away, and so far, nothing's been leaked yet (probably a new record). So, I figure I might go the same route as yesteryear and make another predictions post (though this time not separate it by conference because that's a hell of a lot of work).

- The biggest part of the upcoming E3 will be, without a doubt, the official announcement of the "upgraded" consoles -- PS4 Neo, Xbox One whatever it is, and the NX. Though these new consoles have been advertised to not replace their current systems, I feel like that's not likely. Of course, that's not an E3 prediction -- my E3 prediction is that we'll be hearing a lot about these new consoles, as well as big releases to be shown as the spearheads of the new consoles -- one or two of them might be a special surprise to get people really interested.

- Based on news I forgot, this might already be deconfirmed -- but I feel like the smartest thing for Nintendo to do right now is show off a healthy amount of the new Zelda, as well as clear up some things about the game. Zelda's status has changed a million times -- from a Wii-U exclusive, to a Wii-U and NX game, to coming out on NX first, to who knows whatever it is. I feel like an extended demo with some concrete explanation will help the game.

- For Ubisoft, we'll likely see some footage of a new Assassins Creed or Far Cry or some yearly release game, as well as some more of the For Honor game they showed off last year. For Ubisoft's mandatory "special suprise" game, we'll probably be seeing Watch Dogs 2 -- a game that was already leaked earlier this year.

- Obviously, we'll be seeing both Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Don't be surprised to see CoD trying to win back its audience after its reveal trailer bombed -- they're already announced an extended campaign demo on the floor, and they're likely to go even farther beyond that at Sony's conference.

- We'll probably see the last trailers for games coming out soon -- the most likely being The Last Guardian and FFXV. Also don't be surprised if we see even more of the FF7 Remake -- it seems like its a big deal for both Sony and Square Enix.

- As for this year's krazy prediction, I'm gonna say that there will be a FF7 Remake demo packaged with FFXV. I don't... really have anything to go off of on this. I mean, they put a FFXV demo inside Type-0, so the next logical conclusion is... this? Listen, my main reasoning for doing this is because I've had a strange feeling it was going to happen and if it does I want to say that I had a sick E3 2016 premonition.

Well, those are all my predictions for this year. I'll be sure to make a predictions review and wrap up post similar to how I did last year for E3. There will also probably be an episode of the AstukaGaming Podcast dedicated to E3, though it will take place a few days later.
