love to hear about psn music store as well

that they are working on a new slimer ps3

[Monkey]

No idea what to expect..

What I want for the PS3:

A new Maximo (or Ghost n Goblins/Ghouls N Ghost) game
A new Gradius game... they announced it before launch of the PS3!
Sega remakes (Space Harrier, After Burner, Etc)
Herzog Zwei (PSN, .0001% chance of happening but I'd pay insane money for it)
Internationa Superstar Soccer (arcade style cousin of Winning Eleven/Pro Evo) It was awesom on the N64
A new Strider game
Saturn Bomberman to hit the PSN
Time Splitters 4
Tobal No. 3
A new Castlevania game



The ability to play PSP games on the PS3.

PS2 BC as well

[Musashi]

I'm still pondering what Max said about Sony bringing the heat to E3.

[saprano]

$100 ps3 price cut.
A big exclusive 3rd party game annoucment
netflix or some other streaming service.
They're buying square enix.

Yeah i forgot about that.

he did say that didn't he. hmm..i wonder if i listed enough stuff to be qualified as heat

[u_nick]

the 3D stuff they teased at CES

[Monkey]

3D Space Harrier.. come on Sega (wise from your grawve and be cool again)

[Chris60119]

A new SSX title!!!!!

[Cordre69]

All I care about is an increase in RPGs and more PSP-PS3 connectivity options. If they want to make a sequel to Shadow of the Colossus I GUESS I'll camp out for moths to buy it. Just sayin'...

[Marquoz]

Hopefully EA will discuss more about Project Redline. There was a rumor about it being Syndicate on March 31st, and hopefully they will unveil it as Syndicate or whatever it is by then.

[Elandyll]

Semi- realistic Hopes:
- $100 PS3 price cut for end of 2009 (starting September / October)
- Square anouncing that this time "for real" all their releases are multiplatform and no more advantaging the 360 given the poor results of 2009. TLR and SO4 anounced for early 2010 on PS3 with "improved" versions.
- 1 or 2 exciting new IPs previously unanounced, exclus PS3, for 2009
- Demon Souls and White Knight get US release dates (hopefully end of 2009)
- Lost Planet 2 is anounced as simultaneous release on PS3
- Rockstar reveals along with Sony their rumored PS3 exclu new IP
- WipEouT PS3 revealed

Down to earth expectations (down low, maybe a tad pessimistic):
- PSP 4000 presented
- New "Value" PS3 packs for end of 2009, but still no price cut in sight
- new bunch of S-E "supposed multiplateform" titles, but timed exclus for the 360 and no word on PS3 version. We might see TLR in 2010, nothing for sure.
- God of War III release date set for end of 2009 (December)
- Lost Planet only 360 "For the time being"
- Mass Effect only 360 "For the time being"
- 1 IP exclu PS3 previously unanounced, but not terribly exciting
- No news of GT5, White Knight Chronicles, Yakuza 3 or Demon's Souls
- Oh, no news from Team ICO either, but instead we hear a lot from new games for the PSP and "EyePet" for the PS3.

Wild Dreams (extremely unlikely)
- Square anounces that Sony now has a majority in stocks after the tumble of their stock in financial markets due to their low financial results 2008.
- FF XIII is again a PS3 exclusive, and anounced for US and Europe Spring 2010 officially
- GT5 is given a release date: December 2009, alongside GoW III
- A Pack GoW III + PS3 160Gb for $399 is revealed for Xmas, alongside a pack PS3 80Gb + GT5P at $299 (with a coupon to upgrade to GT5 for a discounted price).
- Team ICO reveals their new exclu PS3, with a mind blowingly impressive trailer
- Mass Effect 2 is confirmed for PS3, along with Mass Effect 1, but with delayed releaes due to dev time on PS3. Mass Effect 1 PS3 scheduled for early/ spring 2010, Mass Effect 2 for mid / end 2010.
- Aliens: Colonial Marines is now a PS3 exclusive that'll push the PS3 technically, and will release end of 2009 (yeah, I know, I'm really pushing )


P.S: Sony "brings the Heat" at E3 as per Max, under the form of a new game licence: The Film "Heat" Videogame, with voices from Al Pacino and Robert De Niro

[Maximus]

It's a little early for E3 predictions no?

[The Don]

no....

because there isn't a damn thing going on right now...

isn't E3 like 2 months and some change away?...

that's close enough for me...

[chnandler_bong]

I would love to see the return of PS2 BC...that way I'm not stuck clinging to my gasping, dying, aging 60 GB model that sucks $150 out of me every 6 months.

Also, PSP2 announcement or at least teaser.

[xtop]

yeah but the thread will fade into the night in a few days, so whatever lol. it is less than 2 months away tho, and like the don said, nothing else going on, why not

[Terjyn]

My prediction is that Wada will come out at the Microsoft key-note and announce they've severed all remaining ties with Sony, and will be henceforth cancelling all Square-Enix titles planned for the PS3.

I wish I was kidding.

[xtop]

i think we're close enough to e3 to bump this thread now

[galperi1]

What I would like to see
God of War 3 Gameplay + Release date
Uncharted 2 Gameplay
Ratchet + Clank: A crack in time Gameplay
Netflix/Youtube PS3 integration (maybe)
100$ Price drop for PS3 (doubtful)

What I don't want to see
Versus announced as MP
FFXIII delayed further due to MS Port

For shits and giggles
Cliffy B comes on stage for Sony and makes and early announcement for GeOW3 coming also to the PS3 in 2010. Also, mentions that GeOW1+2 will be ported and included on the Blu-Ray disk for 3 due to them having enough space for all 3 games. Xbots worldewide explode
