I Can Predict The Future

[naronic]

in 2011

home-front will fail
being labeled as a call of duty rip off

leaked footage of hl3 will appear on the internet for all to see
and possibly the game will follow

Brink will outsell RAGE which will fail and be seen as a rip off of fallout

Crysis 2 will be systematically inaccessible to 78 % of PC gamers making it largely a console played game

Portal 2 will be the top sold game of 2011 until mw3 comes out

Gears of war 3 as well as mass effect 3 will be played mostly for multiplayer until mw3 storms in with an eviction notice and purges it of players

Battlefield 3 will overtake call of duty until people get bored about 2 months in.
Then IW will purposefully release mw3 at a later date as a marketing strategy so that all of the people on bf3 will flock over to the next new thing, leaving battlefield 3 out soled 3:1 just like bad company 2, halo reach etc.

MW3 will win GOTY and will be the most sold game in history and the NG bbs will flame

[POTaTOS]

If you want me to believe you, make predictions about InFamous 2, Elder Scrolls V, Uncharted 3, and Ratchet and Clank All 4 One.

I predict Nintendo and Sony will fall due to recent and current events.

Well, only half of that is true. Nintendo will make a shitload more money on their cool new 3D system and Sony will finally fall because, like the other Sony systems, the first gen Next Gen Portable will either have a lot of bugs and need to be recalled or be easily hackable and give players free games.

[ThePhantomGamer]

Mass Effect 3 won't have multiplayer...

[unconsidered]

What's going to happen to Atlus? I don't see Cursed Crusader selling at all.

I'd say Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim will be voted GOTY for the most part

[Wolfos]

No Call of Duty game will win GoTY, at least not anymore. Hopefully, the fanboys will get tired of the same stuff that gets buggier every release.

After Modern Warfare, it only went downwards...

This.
Skyrim.
Fuck all Else.

I'm sick of people treating Battlefield 3 like it's the messiah of the FPS genre.

Battlefield 2 was good, but it was definitely not without its own breed of problems.

Nintendo's been rolling in money ever since the Wii came out. It's the best selling home console Nintendo put out, even toppling the NES's sales. Not to mention the success of the DS family and the soon-to-be-successful 3DS. Nintendo's not going anywhere for a long, long, long, long, LONG time.

Sony, well, I highly doubt they'd fall too hard, but their recent marketing strategies are rather odd to me. It seems they're trying to tackle two markets: Nintendo's reign at handhelds with the NGP and mobile phones with the Sony Xperia Play. Both of which I predict not doing so hot in sales, especially the Xperia Play. And of course with the PS3 and its horrid security online & Sony's slow and redundant tactics against hacking, Sony's got a lot on its plate -- and they're doing it wrong.

Nope, not gonna happen, and you mean HL2 Episode 3

Brink will outsell RAGE which will fail and be seen as a rip off of fallout

Not sure on that.

Crysis 2 will be systematically inaccessible to 78 % of PC gamers making it largely a console played game

Sure....

Portal 2 will be the top sold game of 2011 until mw3 comes out

I wish that would happen, Portal 2 being top sold, not MW3 being the most sold game.

Gears of war 3 as well as mass effect 3 will be played mostly for multiplayer until mw3 storms in with an eviction notice and purges it of players

FUCK NO, Gears of War 3 might have a higher chance, but Mass Effect 3 better NOT have multiplayer, there is no reason why to have multiplayer on ME3. Maybe if there was a different Mass Effect game taking place during the First Contact War(humans vs. Turians/the Council).

Battlefield 3 will overtake call of duty until people get bored about 2 months in.

Again, want this to happen, but not bored part.

Then IW will purposefully release mw3 at a later date as a marketing strategy so that all of the people on bf3 will flock over to the next new thing, leaving battlefield 3 out soled 3:1 just like bad company 2, halo reach etc.

If that happens, fuck you IW, and fuck you shitvision.

MW3 will win GOTY and will be the most sold game in history and the NG bbs will flame

If that happens, again, see the last prediction.

My opinion, most of these won't happen.

[UltimateSavior]

Ok, so, lets see what Modern Warfare 3 is up against.
Skyrim
Saints Row 3
Batman A. City
Possibly another Assassins Creed
Battlefield 3
Crysis 2
Duke Nukem Forever
Halo CE remake
EVARY FUCKIN' GAME NINTENDO COMES OUT WITH (lolz)

Most of those aren't in series that have games released every year.

Also, looks like Homefront got some good reviews so far, so meh.
Nice OP, though.

[saltovergray]

If you are who you say you are...

...then tell me genie, what is the fate of the LoZ: Skyward Sword?

[Cyan60]

What will happen with skynet?

I'm thinking either Skyrim or Dark Souls will. Skyrim's looking fantastic and what little we know of Dark Souls sounds like it'll be even better than Demon's Souls.

After Dragon Age 2 and BioWare's douchebaggery on its ratings and to their fans, I'm not looking forward to Mass Effect 3 as much as I used to be.

[Optimisticperson]

I'm agreeing with Irish. Even though I'm a fan of Mass effect, Nothing beats Bethesda's RPG

Are you referring to the Japanese tsunami? Or am I over complicating a simple matter?

For like RPG fans.

I mean I like RPGs to, like FF and stuff, but sometimes I just want some instant actions. To play with my friends and stuff.

It's rather too bad I never played a COD before, I have no idea what he's talking about.

Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear radiation, volcanic eruption, aaaannddd... possible economic crisis.

Or another catastrophe coming up.

Yep.

Hard to believe, but will most likely happen.

Brink will outsell RAGE which will fail and be seen as a rip off of fallout

Of course.

Crysis 2 will be systematically inaccessible to 78 % of PC gamers making it largely a console played game

No surprise.

Portal 2 will be the top sold game of 2011 until mw3 comes out

Top sold? Na. Well recieved? Yes.

Gears of war 3 as well as mass effect 3 will be played mostly for multiplayer until mw3 storms in with an eviction notice and purges it of players

Inevitable.

Battlefield 3 will overtake call of duty until people get bored about 2 months in.

Everyone needs to quickly migrate as soon as the new Grenade of Grenade: Grenade Grenade game comes out.

Then IW will purposefully release mw3 at a later date as a marketing strategy so that all of the people on bf3 will flock over to the next new thing, leaving battlefield 3 out soled 3:1 just like bad company 2, halo reach etc.

That's business for you.

MW3 will win GOTY and will be the most sold game in history and the NG bbs will flame

Of course it will. It's not like the bribe the reviewers or anything.

Yes sir, you've pretty much got it on the ball. Good job.

It will fail for not being a first person shooter.

[JMCJoe]

Modern Warfare 3 will suck, but people will buy it. This isn't news to anyone.

What's my Skyrim, Gears 3 and Rage?
