E3 2012

If that happens...oh god. Asdffghfjghkh. I'm really not expecting anything RPG-wise. Since it's E3. I can see a showing of DDD and Theatrhythm. And maybe Bravely Default? I don't know.

All I do know is that it's a sad life for RPG gamers. And who will keep our needs satisfied? Idea Factory? Lol.

I haven' t played FFXIII-2 myself, but those who did and also played the last DLC batch keep telling me that story-wise a sequel is only a possibility, not a certainty. Moreover, remember the FFVII Compilation ?
DoC introduced Genesis, then CC told its origins, and that whole build-up eventually led to ... err ... zip, scratch, nada, que dalle !

Alright then guys, so Libre had a grand idea whilst we are waiting for E3 news we can looks forward to it even more with a little game of E3 Bingo he had noticed going on on other forums. So... we all get a bingo board together, fill out the card with rumours and stuff you've heard from E3 and when it rolls around we can see who guessed the best! This is just a bit of fun, so don't worry if you don't win or nothing, just to give us some excitement for those of us who don't go.

Here is a direct link to the base of it.

The rules basically saying that each row should have Easy/Medium/Hard predictions. Fill each square in with a rumour/prediction/speculation/not going to happen but hope it will predictions.

Easy being things alreayd announced/confirmed
Such as: An Assassin's Creed III Demo being presented

Medium being things that are rumoured/leaked
Such as: Kinect support for Halo 4

Hard being pure speculation and fantasy
Such as: Final Fantasy 7 being announced for the PS3

Here is a link to Libre's that he mocked up.

Here is just a link to a few confirmed and speculated games to come at E3.
Here are some of the examples Libre loving gave me, please use them and any others you wish:

Speaking of rumors ...
http://www.the15thcrystal.net/2012/05/25/square-enix-to-announce-final-fantasy-xii-sequel-rumor.html
I hope that one is true ! Well, that is if Matsuno is involved ...
The font reminds me Vagrant Story rather than FF XII.

 

...

 

The pitch says the story is set "10 years after FF XII", but it also says it involves a "lone mercenary sent to Léa Monde to thwart a cult"; so I guess story-wise it would tie FF XII to VS, while gameplay-wise it would be closer to VS.

 

Not sure if anything mentioned this, but Lucasarts has a Star Wars annoucment for E3:

Might have something to do with Boba Fett.

 

It doesn' t confirm anything, au contraire : "Valiant Saga" hasn' t been trademarked so anyone can open an "official" twitter account without fear of pursuits or being forced to take it down (check this : God and FFXV official twitter accounts ! ^^).

Also, who the hell would be dumb enough to open a twitter account before revealing the game officially ?

Finally, the game domain linked in the twitter account is http://na.square-enix.com/vsff, but check out where your browser redirects you if I just randomly type http://na.square-enix.com/trololol-fell-for-it-did-you?

It just hit me that at the end of the terrible game known as The Force Unleashed 2 where they claimed Boba Fett would play a key part of the story(and he didn't) you see Starkiller leave on his ship and then out from behind an asteroid comes Fett's ship and it follows Starkiller and then it's over. If this somehow ties into the TFU series I will keep putting my money into The Old Republic. TFU is terrible.

 

They said it's a brand new franchise, no TFU 3.

 

Well then, this could actually be a good thing. A Boba Fett game done right could be quite awesome.

 

It'd have to be better then Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. That was a good attempt but it lacked a real feel to being Jango. If you could get a grip of the hunting of an enemy, then I'd welcome the game.
