GamePro has nice little feature examining what news and rumors will likely be realized at next week's Game Developers Conference. The article breaks down 13 predictions by safe bets, 50/50 chances, and long shots with corresponding probabilities of accuracy.The magazine's safe bets include Microsoft unveiling of the rumored black Xbox 360 with HDMI and a larger hard drive, a final release date for Halo 3, new details on Guitar Hero for Wii, and the good chance that critics will love Shigeru Miyamoto's keynote and hate Phil Harrison's. Unless Miyamoto decides to kick humility to the curb, we fully expect that last one to happen.
Toss-ups include 2008 release dates of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros., and that the PS3 will finally get some widespread positive press. A 360 price drop, an early PS3 price drop, and a final release date of the DVD-enabled Wii are all cited as long shots. What do you think the biggest announcement at GDC will be, if any?
