14 Insane E3 2016 Announcements That Would Shock The World

14. A Major Game Is Released Immediately After A Conference

The Announcement: Though we're used to indie games getting spontaneously released immediately after being announced at E3, what if a developer was ballsy enough to show off gameplay footage from a new AAA title, only to announce that the full game could be downloaded immediately after the conference was over?

How Likely Is It?: It would be undeniably awesome if something like Crackdown 3, Dead Island 2, Gravity Rush 2, or dare we dream, The Last Guardian, were available out of nowhere, but considering the ridiculous amount of thought that goes into planning marketing campaigns months, even years ahead of time, there's no way a publisher would risk losing money through lack of brand awareness. Plus, what about all the physical copies?

Maybe a maverick publisher will be brave enough to do it some day, but not yet, until spontaneous E3 releases become a much bigger deal and their success can be convincingly proven. 2/10
