E3 2015: What We’re Hoping to See
E3 2015 is almost upon us and the ‘Countdown to E3’ has begun, so I thought it might be nice to find out what some of the team at PS Nation are hoping to see this time round. Last year we got a few things right and even had one or two excellent hopes that came true, more or less. However this time I want to keep it a bit more structured,shorter (hopefully) and in no particular order.
Please note this article was made before any leaks or announcements were revealed.

Jason H.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Persona 5 release date.
4. Level-5‘s new RPG trailer and platform announcement.
3. Bandai Namco announces Tales of Zestiria will be coming to PS4 day and date with PS3 version.
2. Yakuza 0 announced for western release (not likely, but I can dream).
1. Yakuza 5 release date.
Biggest surprise will be: Sony announces a retail release of Yakuza 5. I really hope it happens, but am not very optimistic about it.
Would laugh if: Final Fantasy XV is delayed (again)

Damon B.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. More game remakes or relaunches from early PC era.
4. No more PS2 or later (ie PS3, PSP etc) remastered games unless it is an entire series.
3. More integrated support with either PS Vita or smart phones and PS4 games. Whether it is calling plays for Madden via an app or poker games multiplayer on your phone I would love to see more games like Jackbox Party as far as integration.
2. More Star Wars games, preferably flight Sims like X-Wing or Rogue Squadron or continuation of old series like Republic Commando or something new in a different time period.
1. A new NBA Jam, preferably one that offers DLC roster upgrades for the next 3 years instead of new versions.
Biggest surprise will be: The Army Men series makes a comeback.
Would laugh if: If Microsoft would introduce Xbox One slim or Xbox One with larger HD.

Chazz H.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. The Stick of Truth 2 teaser.
4. A new Sly Cooper to coincide with the upcoming film.
3. GTA V expansion pack(s).
2. Uncharted Trilogy playable and release date.
1. Agent from Rockstar closing the Sony press conference.
Biggest surprise will be: Nintendo reveal a new console and it’s compatible with the Wii U software and gamepad.
Would laugh if: It’s not compatible and is the most expensive console upon release.

Michael “The1stMJC” Cwick
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. A price for Project Morpheus that is debated all week.
4. A new Tony Hawk game that looks legit.
3. KINGDOM HEARTS 3! I want it playable, I want extended gameplay trailers and a release date.
2. New AAA IPs from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.
1. Fallout 4 or whatever Fallout they announce.
Biggest surprise will be:
If Microsoft snatches up Hideo Kojima for a new studio. He finally opened up to Microsoft a couple of years ago appearing on their stage at E3 and of the three console companies Microsoft has the biggest bankroll for a talent like Kojima. He requires a lot of money to make the type of games he envisions and while I do not see them having the patience to work with him I think it would be amazing. I just do not see Kojima going indie or having a real chance to make the jump to film.
Would laugh if:
If the words “last” and “guardian” are never said during PlayStation’s press conference. It’s hilarious to me every year it is ignored. We need a new Duke Nukem and I have faith that The Last Guardian can fill that void.

Andy R.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Namco ports Tales of Zesteria to the PS4 for the English release.
4. XSeed localizes IA/VT Colorful.
3. Ni no Kuni 2 for PS4.
2. Persona 5 shown some more and gets a release date.
1. DLC expansions for Bloodborne.
Biggest surprise will be: The Last Guardian actually reappears this year.
Would laugh if: Square announces plans to remaster FF7 after the disappointing reaction to the PS4 port at PSX.

Josh L.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Year-to-Year progress saves in the EA Sports games.
4. Resistance Remastered Collection.
3. Portal Remastered Collection.
2. A new Sly Cooper on the PS4/Vita.
1. The Next Red Dead Game.
Biggest surprise will be: Resistance 4.
Would laugh if: One of the writers out-eats Emrah.

Keith D.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. DMC 2.
4. A new Blur-esque racing game.
3. Final Fantasy XII remaster for PS4/Vita.
2. Viewtiful Joe for PS4 but I think the series is dead.
1. Mass Effect 4.
Biggest surprise will be: A PT like announcement of a new game available “NOW” for FREE.
Would laugh if: Damn it! I don’t really laugh cynically at stuff when it comes to games. But wouldn’t it be funny if they partnered with RuPaul to make a Drag Race game where you got up in drag and did a Dance Dance Central type of performance in front of your camera?! And if you platinumed the game you could upload your Share Play to enter yourself to be on the show?! ROFLMAO…..HEY! Wait a minute…..it’s queer as Hell but that could WORK!
Of course, all those people who buy it thinking it’s a NASCAR GAME will be SCANDALIZED! FOR FILTH!

Kyle J.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Fallout 4.
4. Morpheus release date (at least a release window).
3. New God of War game.
2. The Division.
1. Resistance 4 (keeping the dream alive!).
Biggest surprise will be: Some form of exclusive deal with Activision for Call of Duty content first on PlayStation 4.
Would laugh if: The Last Guardian made an appearance.
Expect to see some impressive third-party exclusives/timed-exclusives coming to PlayStation. Sony will continue to ride their third-party relations through the holidays.
Be watching the Microsoft conference…I’m sure they will be pulling out some very impressive things to try to gain ground on Sony – it should be fantastic to watch.

Glenn P.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Heavenly Sword 2
4. The Last Guardian
3. Triple Play 2016
2. A new Wipeout for PS4
1. Release date for Hot Shots Golf PS4 in North America
Biggest surprise will be: I’d be very surprised if Project Morpheus gets released in 2015, but they might try to beat Oculus at their own game. I just hope they don’t rush things. Also, Kevin Butler returns? A guy can dream…
Would laugh if: Microsoft shows Halo 5’s Kinect features

Greg P. “Stoff Inator”
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Fallout 4.
4. Mass Effect 4.
3. Uncharted 4.
2. Firmware update.
1. Gears of War Remastered.
Biggest surprise will be: Microsoft wins E3.
Would laugh if: Socom 5 is announced.

Rey B.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Uncharted.
4. Star Wars Battlefront.
3. No Man’s Sky.
2. Unannounced Morpheus game.
1. Project Morpheus.
Biggest surprise will be: No first person shooter announcements.
Would laugh if: Torgo yelled out “The Master will not be pleased” during the Microsoft event.
Raj M.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. PES and FIFA gameplay.
4. Just Cause 3 gameplay.
3. Big (or any) third party titles for Vita and Wii U.
2. Morpheus price tag (preferably sub-£200/$300).
1. A new Midnight Club. Pretty please, Rockstar!
Biggest surprise will be: If Halo, Forza and Call of Duty take up less than 50% of Microsoft’s entire conference. In terms of Sony, price drops to all three consoles – PS3, PS4 and Vita – would be a (welcome) shocker.
Would laugh if: Through the tears, I’d laugh at my own bank balance and mental resolve if PS4 and XBO console revisions are announced.
Emrah R.
Top five games/things I want to see:
5. Least- Big budget exclusive Vita titles
4. Uncanny partnerships (maybe Kojima productions joins a new publisher after splitting from Konami).
3. New Nintendo console.
2. Morpheus release date/interactive crowd demo.
1. Most- AAA reveals of the things that Sony’s first party studios have been working on.
Biggest surprise will be: No Man’s Sky is released that day.
Would laugh if: Nintendo games go multi-platform
Why not let us know what you’re hoping to see during E3 2015.
