E3 Forum Betting Special 2018
-
It is that time everyone. E3 starts, right now.
I haven't been here since the PSX betting post and I didn't see a post about E3 yet so here it is. We will all give our own responses to the bets in the Easy Allies E3 2018 Betting Special video. Post your bets here before the start of the EA conference, I'll throw them all into this Google doc and then tally up the forum winner after EZA post their Results Show. All the the bets are pretty straight forward and exactly what Brad and Ian did. We will still give our responses to the bet Benzilla nuked, we will have to answer BOTH of the bets for the one that Ian used Babality on, and we will ignore Don's bet for Don's Dirty Deal (whichever of us is the closest gets the point). Don't forget to make an outrageous final bet as well.

How did I miss this?! :(

So I finally got around to watching the Easy Allies E3 2018 Betting Special Results Show. I was hoping there would be a clear winner and we wouldn't have to tally how many new games got announced but alas there is a 5 way tie as it stands, with 3 contestants a point behind who could end up taking a tied win as well. If anyone just so happens to have this information lying around that would be great, otherwise I will begin rewatching the conference streams during my podcast games. Haha.

Going of this list aswell as what I remembered was in press conferences that wasn't already officially announced:
EA:
FIFA 19
Madden 19
NBA Live 19
Unravel 2
C&C RivalsMicrosoft
Halo Infinite
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (?)
Captain Spirit
Forza Horizon 4
Devil May Cry 5
Jump Force
Dying Light 2
Battletoads
Just Cause 4
Gears POP
Gears Tactics
Gears 5Bethesda
Doom Eternal
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot
The Elder Scrolls: Blades
The Elder Scrolls: VI
StarfieldSquare Enix
Babylon's Fall
The Quiet ManUbisoft
Just Dance 2019
Trials Rising
Assassin's Creed Oddyssey (? logo was officially tweeted before E3 ?)Sony
Control
Trover saves the Universe
Nioh 2Nintendo
Daemon x Machina
Super Mario Party
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Overcooked 2
Super Smash Bros Ultimate (?)That's 36, I think, though we need a judges ruling, as you could argue one or two was or wasn't already announced... Take it to the council (a.k.a Tragosaurus decides). If we're talking about games during all of E3 including outside of press conferences, there's PC Gaming and Devolver, making it 44 and I assume that number would be a bit higher still
Devolver
My Friend Pedro
Metal Wolf Chaos XD (?)PC Gaming Show (This one is murky... Some here might have been shown before)
Satisfactory
The Forgotten City
Maneater
Stormland
Anno 1800
Rapture RejectsThere was more shown and some might have been new but I think I left out every game that was revealed before E3
As a stink bet, I would argue this pertains to all of E3... But obviously I'm biased.
Funnily enough, judge either way, it doesn't give us a clear winner... Just decides whether it's a 4 way winners tie and 5 ways runners up tie, or a 5 way winners tie and a 4 way runners up tie.
Also, I noticed you put "No" for me on "Will Cortana reveal herself?" and gave me a point. I actually bet Yes on that, so before the games announced bet I should be at 11 points.
-
@germanscientist That's a huge help.
Couple things:
I think Sea of Solitude was an announced at EA?
I would consider Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as an announcement as we had no idea what it was before then, other than From Software was making a new game.
I think Session was an announcement at Microsoft?
Its not on your list but I would not consider the Tales remaster a new game announcement.
I think Assassins Creed Odyssey would be disqualified since the tweet was official before the conference.
I almost have to say Super Smash Bros is not an announcement. They announced it before, we just didn't know the official name.All of the bets were specifically only for the 7 main press conferences unless otherwise stated so PC Gaming Show and Devolver do not count, along with anything announced outside of an actual conference.
If we did go with a combination of your list and all of my suggestions as it stands we would be at 36.Also I didn't note @TokyoSlim got his final bet until just now. I know nothing about Metal Wolf Chaos and if that is a valid pie in the sky bet or if he was being cute but I'm giving him the points unless convinced otherwise. And with the 3 points he got from that it made him the clear winner.
