Frenetic Pony Posted January 1, 2014 Post your veiled and mystic glimpses into the future 365 days on the planet earth, and astound us all with your clairvoyance! Or, just, you know, crap out whatever you feel like. That works too. Games: Sony will have a slight lead over Microsoft in terms of next gen console sales. Both will have 10+ million sold by the end of the year. Nintendo will slash the Wii-U price by at least $50, will cause a nice big rise in sales. Just Cause 3 will be announced, look fucking awesome. No one will ever remember that a "microconsole" was even a thing. Political shite: There will be yet more massive protests near/is a/revolution type things. Google, Microsoft, IBM, et. al. will bribe enough congressmen to end the appearance of massive government surveillance by the US. There will be growing and louder talk of reforming the way the US government works. Movies: Hollywood will have another gangbusters record breaking year. Godzilla will be friggen awesome. Random: Another new/unheard of artist will come out with yet another annoying song that's constantly played everywhere so you can't escape it for months. George W. Bush will contract leprosy from handling an Armadillo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They already price-dropped the model everyone was buying, though. I don't see them doing it again so soon.

CoD will go Full Activision and release two games in one year in an attempt to burn out the same way Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero did. The Last Guardian will get a final, actual release date for early 2015 Persona 5 will be amazing Nintendo will officially coin this the Year of Kirby or Yoshi or something, but it will never catch on like the Year of Luigi did The Ouya will be euthanized Smash Bros. and Mario Kart will make the Wii U finally find a stable audience, if not a massive one Penny Arcade will do something stupid Not one, but two Assassin's Creed games Vita TV will come to America Microsoft will quietly begin to roll out all of the DRM features that they cut from the Xbox One over the course of several months worth of firmware updates The Steambox will be too expensive for a widespread audience, but will be a huge success among the enthusiast market I will not stick to my New Year's Resolutions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmbossy Posted January 1, 2014 The Witness will be good but will repel people for having words in it. Then they'll call Jonathan Blow pretensions for defending words. Dark Souls 2 won't be as good as dark souls 1. I'll enjoy it but the Souls community will exile me for my beliefs. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will be announced, subsequently released, critically praised, and then forgotten 6 months later (Black Ops 2 fans will say its awful and boycott/buy the shit out of it) PHIL FISH SHALL RISE AGAIN then leave again for being called a bitch after not sticking with his guns. Titanfall will be alright but the day it comes out people will remember it's being published by EA and cut themselves until they fix the servers DICE will announce they've fixed the servers for Battlefield 4 and soon after release 3 dlc packs (the servers still won't work right) Destiny will be actually good and will be GOTY'd like crazy. Then Activision will release another one next year (made by Raven or Sledgehammer) Mass Effect 4 won't be called Mass Effect 4 Rocksteady will release a Batman Game. It will be pretty good. There will be another VGX spike will say the VGX 2013 was a success and learn nothing. People will watch it, then complain. Indie Games will continue to be released and good, and will stop me from crying myself to sleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to set absurdly high goals of social justice because if I don't I end up defining my goals as personal successes which typically contribute to these types systemic inequities.
