So what?<\/p>\n<p>Well, this is the 1<sup>st<\/sup> <i>Call of Duty<\/i> to be made solely by Sledgehammer Games, whose previous credits include&#8230;erm, helping out on <i>Modern Warfare 3. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also got an evil Kevin Spacey in it, which is usually a good sign (<em>Se7en<\/em>, <em>House of Cards<\/em>, <em>The Usual Suspects<\/em> and so on).<\/p>\n<h3>Halo 5: Guardians Footage<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s only just been announced, but you can expect the <i>Halo 5 <\/i>hype machine to go into overdrive at E3. Expect tons of footage and <i>hopefully<\/i> a nice demo to go along with it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:\u00a0<\/strong>The trailer has been revealed!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YRMtgQUA4gg\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Project Morpheus<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/project-morpheus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-574\" alt=\"Project Morpheus\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/project-morpheus.jpg\" width=\"780\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/project-morpheus.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/project-morpheus-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Project Morpheus is Sony\u2019s attempt to muscle in on the VR market and although details are thin on the ground so far, we could see some games revealed at E3. VR <i>The Last of Us <\/i>anyone? Actually, talking of <i>The Last of Us&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>A The Last of Us Sequel<\/h3>\n<p>It was one of the biggest games of last year and it\u2019s bound to get a sequel &#8211; but will we get to see it this year? It seems doubtful as Naughty Dog has been working hard on remastering the original for PS4 but we can hope, eh?<\/p>\n<h3>Spotify for Games?<\/h3>\n<p>With movies and music both firmly going down the subscription-based streaming route, gaming is almost bound to follow. The only question is when, and who will do it?<\/p>\n<p>The forerunners are Playstation Now and Nintendo\u2019s Virtual Console, although you can be sure that Microsoft has something up their sleeves too.<\/p>\n<h3>Fallout 4<\/h3>\n<p>Bethesda have been busy working on <i>The Elder Scrolls Online<\/i>, but it\u2019s been a while since we heard anything about the <i>Fallout<\/i> series \u201d\u201c <i>Fallout 3 <\/i>came out in 2008, while <i>New Vegas<\/i> followed in 2011 (and was more of an add-on than a sequel).<\/p>\n<p>After a few <a href=\"https:\/\/https:\/\/uk.ign.com\/articles\/2013\/12\/08\/fallout-4-teaser-site-is-a-hoax\">hoax confirmations<\/a>, hopefully we&#8217;ll get a real one this time.<\/p>\n<h3>A New Zelda&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s almost guaranteed that Nintendo will announce a new Zelda game for the Wii U this year. Sales of the console haven\u2019t been great, and a new Link adventure could provide the sales kick Nintendo need.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8230;And Nintendo\u2019s version of Skylanders<\/h3>\n<p>It seems like the most obvious move in history: Nintendo have a cute-sy roster of well-loved characters and kids love spending their parent\u2019s money on cute-sy little figures that allow them to play as characters in-game. If Nintendo <i>don\u2019t <\/i>reveal this, we\u2019ll happily sell them the idea (although we\u2019re pretty sure someone\u2019s beaten us to it).<\/p>\n<h3>Sega get back into the console business<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/sega-dreamcast.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-384\" alt=\"Sega Dreamcast\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/sega-dreamcast.png\" width=\"778\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/sega-dreamcast.png 778w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/sega-dreamcast-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, this is a massive longshot as Sega quit the console business in 2001 after the Dreamcast flopped badly.<\/p>\n<p>But a lot of time has passed since then and with the Xbox One and PS4 fighting for the same base of gamers and Nintendo aiming for families with the Wii U, there\u2019s surely space for Sega to rise again?<\/p>\n<h3>Someone will have an accident playing Alien: Isolation<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9lkh0-jPfxs\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When <i>Alien: Isolation<\/i> was first revealed a couple of months ago, we couldn\u2019t sleep for fear of getting eaten by everyone\u2019s favourite extraterrestrial. We can only imagine what\u2019s going to happen to the people who actually get to play it.<\/p>\n<h3>The Last Guardian<\/h3>\n<p>The long-awaited follow-up to the cult classic <i>Shadow of the Collossus<\/i>, <i>The Last Guardian<\/i> has been in development since 2007 and was announced at E3 2009. It was originally planned for release in 2011 but&#8230;erm, didn\u2019t come out.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it\u2019s been in limbo and very little is known about it. It\u2019s definitely coming out, but no-one knows when. Surely we\u2019ll get to hear a little bit about it at E3?<\/p>\n<h3>Half-Life 3?!<\/h3>\n<p>Half-Life 3 is the Loch Ness Monster of gaming, a legendary figure that some swear they\u2019ve seen but others doubt exists. Will it be revealed at E3? It\u2019s very, very unlikely, although an <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.ign.com\/articles\/2014\/05\/23\/half-life-3-being-worked-on-says-counter-strike-creator\">ex-Valve employee has confirmed it\u2019s being worked on<\/a>.
