![]() I get the sense that the latter is probably still very early in development, but even a flashy, brief teaser would be good. And, if you really want to be generous, actually show me something from the aforementioned Fable and Perfect Dark games. Show me a better and more impressive Halo Infinite trailer. Show me multiple planets I can visit, show me a better and more fleshed out romance system (than the Elder Scrolls or Fallout games), show me a release window. Give me a big ol’ substantial Starfield reveal. ![]() Meaning, just show me the things I already know you’re working on. They’ve heard my prayers for a new Fable game and even a new Perfect Dark game, so what else could a boy ask for? Well, mostly more of the same. I don’t really know what I want from Microsoft, to be honest. And I want the option to do it offline, please. I want to pirate, not just fire cannonballs at another ship. I want to sail under the stars, riding the wind and singing shanties with me maties. I want to swim away from a cute fifteen foot great white shark who wants nothing more than to chomp my widdle feets. I want to hunt for an old wooden treasure chest buried deep in the sand. I want more than just ship-to-ship combat. I know they went back to the drawing board in terms of the game’s direction, and that set them back a bit, but they have to have something by now, right? Right? If I’m really being sassy, I don’t just want a new teaser, either. What I really want from Ubisoft this year is info on Skull and Bones, though. Sure, I want to see a teaser for a new Assassin’s Creed game, and I’d be pretty hyped for a new Splinter Cell even though I never played through any of the previous entries. Here are some things I want from some of the big publishers and platform holders. From the two lists above, we did end up getting a new Animal Crossing game on Switch, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Dragon Quest XI, a new Tomb Raider game, Soulcalibur VI, plus announcements of new Fable and Perfect Dark games. My previous wish lists have been a mix of the two, and while I’m usually slightly disappointed when most of my hopes are dashed by any given E3 showing, my track record isn’t a complete disaster. There are things we know we can reasonably expect, but it’s the things that seem farfetched that are the most tantalizing to dare wish for. I can usually keep my expectations in check, but there are always those little embers of hope that will burn eternally for some new, exciting entry in a long-loved series, or maybe some shocking new IP from a favorite developer. Like many gamers, I have that nasty habit of getting my hopes way up for E3. ![]() Did that make sense? Probably not, but let’s move on. ![]() It’s been a while since I’ve written out a wish list, but I just published the latest podcast episode, all about this very subject, so I thought I’d revisit my old wish lists and put the power of my desire for these games into the universe on the off chance that it somehow reaches the hearts of these publishers many months in the past and they begin working on these games with enough time to produce and show something for this event. Not really, but there are a bunch of exciting videos and streams from most of the big industry publishers coming up, so that’s good enough for me. ![]()
