Title: E3 2018 betting: come lose all your money and dignity
Post by: Legend on Jun 08, 2018, 05:46 PM




This year let's get everyone betting. Answer all these questions and the person with the best score wins. We can also do 1 on 1 bets in addition, like in previous years.

1. Will Sony announce a new game developed by world wide studios?
2. Will Microsoft announce battle royale for any first party games? Must be referred to as battle royale like, can't just be tons of players.
3. Will Nintendo announce a new IP with a retail release? Doesn't have to be Nintendo published, just announced on one of their shows.
4. Will Bethesda fully reveal Starfield, including a trailer or gameplay?
5. Will EA announce a new Star Wars game?
6. Will Ubisoft show new footage of Starlink during their show?
7. Will Square Enix reveal a new game that isn't already known about? No Tomb Raider, no Avengers, no Just Cause, etc.


1. How long will Sony's conference be, to the minute?
2. Will Death Stranding be first, second, third, or last to be shown amongst the four main Sony games?
3. How many new studios will Microsoft announce during E3?
4. How many games will be at E3 that feature Gears of War in at least some way?
5. Excluding the inklings, how many new fighters will be shown for Smash on switch? These fighters must be fully new to the series, not just revisions or alternate forms of past fighters.
6. How many new or different fighting mechanics will Smash for Switch have compared to Smash for Wii U? Mechanics are such things as final smash, tripping, smash attacks, etc.
7. Which press conference will be the longest?
8. How many of these leaks will be wrong? IE they will not be announced at any point during E3: DMC5, Bloodborne 2, Star Fox racing, Gears of War XCOM style, "Halo Infinity," MK11, "Rayspace," Metal Gear Survive 2, new Dead Rising, and Nier Automata Xbox port.

1. Make up your own prediction. Has to be crazy and unlikely, but it's worth a lot if you get it right.

I honestly have no hype for publishers other than Sony so I wouldn't even know what to think to bet on.  Only reveal I foresee is Devil May Cry 5

Well I was wrong about Star Wars but that hardly even counts as an announcement :(

They must have put that in last minute after reading this

I wouldn't count that as an announcement since they already announced it. This was just giving it an official name.

After E3 the 4 of us can decide how we want to count the debatable ones.

You can still make guesses. It's after the deadline so you can't "win" but you can still have fun with it.

Yeah, I guess that's what I'll do. I can't take all this kneejerk stupidity anymore.

"MS is rumoured to totally have all third party games at E3 and they'll announce 50 new studios that they bought/created and DMCV and Shadows Die Twice will be Xbox exclusive, Sony are going to be iced!!!" Seriously how does this shame happen every fudgy year???  >:(

Lol yeah. First of all that's an overreaction and most isn't true. Second of all, like MS doing good affects Sony at all at this point in the gen. They sell independently of each other now. We should be hoping MS do well, to provide healthy competition for sony and good games for xbox fans.

And lmao if anyone actually thinks DMCV or Shadows Die Twice won't be on PS4/ will be late like Tomb Raider. No way that's happening for either of those. MS said they don't want to do that any more and most of their fanbase is on PS4. Doesn't make sense for either party.
