E3 2018: “Predictions” and Strategies For PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and More -- CLS Side Quest
E3 2018 is right around the corner, and many members of my audience have requested an “E3 Predictions” episode, as is my custom. However, the tradition as-is was getting a little… well… predictable… so I figured I’d do something more in-depth, going over my hopes and proposed strategies for the following companies’ press conferences at E3 '18: Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Bethesda, Ubisoft, and EA. How? By associating a specific word to each of them, and wandering from there.
