Incredibly, it’s already time for this year’s E3. In just a few days time (Sony’s press conference is on Tuesday) we’ll know so much more than we do today. Or, at least that’s the plan: sometimes these keynotes are dull and boring, but you can normally rely on Sony to throw in a few surprises (and memes).

So, what do TheSixthAxis think we’ll see? Let’s have a look…

75 – 100% Chance

New video of Killzone 2, game will be playable
Lots of new details on Resistance 2, game will be playable
LittleBigPlanet will be awesome, special demo section playable
WipeoutHD is done, download from the PSN Store on Tuesday
MotorStorm 2 will be playable, and looking great
Bioshock will be present and correct, plus news of sequel
We’ll hear more about Trophies, confirmation of new title support
Sony will push the PSP connectivity harder, again
Warhawk will get another update

50 – 75% Chance

Twisted Metal PS3 will be revealed, playable
Final Fantasy XIII will be shown in video form
Video teasers for Uncharted 2 and new Ratchet and Clank
Lengthy reveal for God of War III
Some form of ‘kart‘ game, Crash, LittleBigPlanet perhaps?
Lots of new PSN titles
News on the new video service, limited to the States
Gran Turismo 5 shown on video, Prologue to get damage and weather

25 – 50% Chance

Afrika shown, playable
Fully fledged SOCOM sequel announced
Heavy Rain shown in video format, due out this year
inFamous shown
New even slimmer PS2, massive price cut, new controllers

0 – 25% Chance

Home beta will be open to everyone after the conference
Talk of new firmware – in game video chat a possibility
New exclusives, Sony-owned studios
We’ll hear more about GTA IV downloable PS3 content
New PSP revealed, codename 3000. Contains phone.
Whatever crap that BBC editor was talking about will be shown

What did we miss?

I wonder if we ever will find out what that BBC journalist was talking about.

Would be good to see the Wild west game By RockStar that was shown at E3 2005 too.

the Official Playstation Magazine just out also mentions there is a game that they really want to talk about but can’t… yet. Same thing as BBC guy? Fingers crossed for some more info.

I WANT A PS3 BUT NOT A CRAPPY 40GB!

25-50% Chance:

A new 80GB/+ PS3 with 2 Dualshock controllers for the U.K. as the premium and cheaper because of lower development costs… (Hopes!)

No, they won’t bundle two controllers with it, even if they do announce that.

I do hope they’ll announce the 80gb for Europe/UK though.

Think that sony are using europe to dump their sixaxis stock, doubt we’ll see dual shocks bundled until they all go.

A new SKU… maybe a 120GB or 160GB to top the X360 elite, hard drives aren’t that expensive anyway and it may be a way that Sony can keep the ps3 at the price point

Sony may in the long term have to look at an SKU with a faster ‘read speed’ BluRay drive to help prevent game installs, I can’t amagine the current 1 X speed lasting 10 years like Sony plan

I’d like to see more exclusives announced both for the PSN & on BD

Play TV? thought this was already supposed to be out, and what about their deal with Sky TV, so us UK users can watch Sky on the PSP via the PS3 (I thought this was announced when the PS3 was released over here)
this would obviously compete with Sony’s own Location Free service, but Sony Corp need to realise that the PS3 will cannibalise other parts of Sony’s business.

It’s time for Sony to get real any make the PS3 as good as it can be (in every area), after all ‘08 is supposed to be THE year of the PS3, but it’s hardly making inroads into 360’s core market

Announce Road Rash HD as an exclusive… I’d buy it ten times over

@clarkec – I agree with an SKU with a bigger sized HDD but wouldn’t it just be easier to do it yourself, knowing Sony they’ll probably add £60 on for a 160gb. Also the PS3 does use a 2x Blu-ray drive and if they release one with a faster read speed this would render the current SKU’s 20gb(No longer in production), 40gb, 60gb(No longer in production) & 80gb inferior.
