What Would Have Been an E3 2020 Prediction Thingy

Last year I wrote a blog in which I made predictions about E3. It was a lot of fun. With everything that's going on this year, and E3 itself being cancelled, I honestly haven't even thought about the whole thing. Just this morning I realized that Sony is doing their big reveal event tomorrow and I haven't spent more than a passing moment to think about it! What a weird freakin' year, man.

But anyways. I've decided to write another prediction blog! It won't be E3 specifically, since that doesn't exist this year. But it will basically be announcements I expect from the big publishers throughout the rest of this year. I'm sure I'll get more wrong this year than I ever have before (not that I have a stellar prediction record to begin with). But hey, this is all just for fun.

I will do the same thing I did last year. I will list predictions, expectations, and wishes for the various platforms. But I won't say which items fall under which of those 3 categories. That is up to your imagination! And please share your predictions and thoughts with us down below!
