Not really predictions, though it will be interesting to see what does and does not match up. Just a list of a few things I&#8217;d really like to see. Obviously this isn&#8217;t everything. Rumors abound of new console reveals, and the ever maddening possibilities fans dream up. This is simply a short list. My short list, of seven announcements, reveals, and the like, that I want to see. Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/shootersbanner.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-128\" title=\"shootersbanner\" src=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/shootersbanner.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What I want to see is more co-Op, squad type shooters. I want to hear some more about the game OverStrike, that was announced at last year&#8217;s E3. I want Valve to bring us Left 4 Dead 3. What? It&#8217;s going on three years. It&#8217;s definitely not going to be like the one year turn around between Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. This is the type of shooter I want to see more of. We have enough single player, deathmatch, and team deathmatch shooters to last us a good five or ten years.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I think we&#8217;ll see more of what we have. I&#8217;ll admit to being a little interested in Halo 4, if just to see what happens to the franchise without Bungie. What we don&#8217;t need, but I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll get, is Call of Duty 20, Battlefield 30, Space Marine Shooter 58, and Generic War Shooter 200. I think the last FPS I picked up that I actually cared about and had fun with was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which came out back in 2007. Not that I haven&#8217;t tried, most recently with Halo: Reach, it&#8217;s just hard for a game to shine when the genre is packed to the brim with back-to-back releases more frequent than a sports game series.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/konami.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-127\" title=\"konami\" src=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/konami.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to Metal Gear Rising: Reveangance. But what I&#8217;d really like to know is if Konami is going to be doing anything special for the 25th anniversary of Metal Gear. I&#8217;m kind of hoping for another new title to be announced.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also interested in the new Castlevania game coming out. I&#8217;ve been kind of an on and off fan in the past. It might be a bit &#8216;old school&#8217;, but I really like platformers\/sidescrollers, so I like that the game is supposedly going to be mostly in 2D (and 2.5D). However I think I would prefer if the game was using high quality sprites instead of 3D models. Hopfully we&#8217;ll get a good gameplay video, so I can get a better idea of how it will look and play.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/nintendo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-126\" title=\"nintendo\" src=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/nintendo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I know it&#8217;s a little soon, being that Skyward Sword only came out last year, but I&#8217;d really like to see something, even just a teaser, for the next Zelda game. The 3DS has been out for over a year now, and the only Zelda game for it is the 3D version of Ocarina of Time. I&#8217;d really like to see what direction they&#8217;re going to take Zelda on their latest handheld, will it be in the vein of past handhelds and classic games like The Minish Cap and Link&#8217;s Awakening, or more like the 3D OoT, a 3D environment like the console titles? Speaking of which, will there be a Zelda for the WiiU? I don&#8217;t know about a release title, but I&#8217;d hope a Zelda game for the new console will come out in the first year or two of it&#8217;s life span. Zelda is a rather hugely selling and beloved game, even amounst the more &#8216;hardcore&#8217; gamers. So a new title for the WiiU would likely help move units.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the WiiU, I want to know more. Is it really going to be out this holiday season? I&#8217;d like to get a release date and some system specs if that&#8217;s the case. Honestly I&#8217;m really interested in the system, and I want it to do well. I hope we see the announcement of an excellent line of launch titles, and not more of the schlock shoved out by the truckload for the Wii. I&#8217;d love it if the WiiU could signal a bit more Quality Control for games on Nintendo&#8217;s systems.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/capcom.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-125\" title=\"capcom\" src=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/capcom.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I want a new Mega Man game. I&#8217;m not going to get it. We&#8217;re going to get more Street Fighters, more Marvel vs Capcoms, more Resident Evils, and an all new, all terrible Devil May Cry reboot. Incase anyone&#8217;s wondering, yes, I am currently boycotting CAPCOM&#8217;s games. I don&#8217;t own either Marvel vs Capcom 3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GetMeOffTheMoon\">Mega Man Legends 3 needs to happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/bethesda.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-124\" title=\"bethesda\" src=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/bethesda.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I love Skyrim. I&#8217;d have written a review for it already if I didn&#8217;t get so side-tracked by it&#8217;s world every time I play it that I haven&#8217;t seen the main quest in months. I can <em>not<\/em> wait to hear what Bethesda has planned for DLC. I&#8217;m hoping we not only get an expansion-style DLC (like Shivering Isles and Bloodmoon) but also some smaller packs.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also curious to hear about this supposed Elder Scrolls MMO. Though honestly I&#8217;m more than a bit apprehensive about it. I just don&#8217;t see how the quality of game world many have come to expect from Bethesda can be present in an MMO. Much as I want more Elder Scrolls (and I WANT more Elder Scrolls), I just don&#8217;t see it working well with the current style and infrastructure of most MMOs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sega.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-123\" title=\"sega\" src=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sega.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>I WANT AN INTERNATIONAL RELEASE OF Phantasy Star Online 2 TO BE ANNOUNCED<\/strong>. As far as MMOs go, I am currently playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, and I&#8217;ve found nearly every other current and upcomming MMO rather lacking. <em>Except PSO2<\/em>. I would love it if SEGA would announce that an international or english release was in the works. Heck, I&#8217;d really just like the whole game to be international, with some servers being regionally focused.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also like to hear the plans for the Sonic series. The last game, Generations, was really very good, and I&#8217;m wondering what Sega is going to do next. I&#8217;ve heard rumors of a reboot, which might be overkill being that they finally seem to have gotten the series back on track. Honestly though, as long as we stay away from the Sonic Riders, &#8217;06s, and Shadow the Hedgehogs, I&#8217;ll at least be interested.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/other.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-122\" title=\"other\" src=\"https:\/\/zeroreviews.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/other.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Tomb Raider reboot that was all over last years E3 has been relatively quiet of late, aside from the push-back of the release window and a new trailer. I&#8217;m curious to see what&#8217;s been going on and what progress has been made. I&#8217;m not the biggest Tomb Raider fan, but what was shown of this game last year really impressed me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also looking forward to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. While it&#8217;s release date is August 28th 2012, we still don&#8217;t have that much information about the characters and multiplayer. I&#8217;m hoping those elements are revealed at this years E3. I&#8217;d really like to know what types of multiplayer will be included, and a video of character creation would be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So with E3 2012 starting up very soon, I figured I&#8217;d jump on the bandwagon and write up a list of what I&#8217;d like to see.
