From Gamespot:

More Japanese publishers jump on next-gen Xbox. Sega and From Software confirm development of multiple titles for the next-generation Xbox.

At least two Japanese publishers are already making games for the next-generation Xbox, says Famitsu. Sega is currently developing multiple titles for the console and From Software is also developing multiple titles for the next Xbox iteration. No details on any of the games were revealed.

From Software president Naotoshi Jin revealed in an interview that at least one of his company's games in development is slated to be a next-gen Xbox launch title.

When asked what genres will be represented in the From next-gen Xbox software library, Jin said that given his company is known for its mech titles (including 2003's Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit), the company "could not leave these out of the line-up."

MURAKUMO 2!!!!!!!

 

[Spencerr]

Sega? No way? Suprised is me.



mhm.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

From has a lot of fighting mech games, don't they?

A new Otogi for the sinkhole, please!

 

[Mama Smurf]

Next you'll be telling me Bungie are developing for it.

 

[sol5377]

EUREKA! MICROSOFT IS BACK IN BUSINESS IN JAPAN!!

 

[bloke]

Bring on Otogi 3.

 

[IJoel]

GIVE A MECH TO JACK!

He must save the President!

 

[bitwise]

[madara]

[MassiveAttack]

 

[Funky Papa]

As long as I get more Otogi I'll be happy. A more varied Metal Wold Chaos would be also welcome

Mr President, look! A UFO! Oohooh! My first UFO! I bet there are some aliens inside

Corniest. Game. Ever.

I think new Famitsu also states that they'll be first ones to reveal first Mistwalker's XBox360 RPG, 4 days before E3 or something like that...

COOL!

 

[sol5377]

Well they also developed for xbox so it's really not a surprise at all.

Actually, it is somewhat surprising that these companies have "multiple" titles in development for X360 because of how poorly the Xbox did in Japan originally. Obviously they feel Microsoft can improve on their position this time around and I'm sure they're banking on the fact that even if their games don't sell as well in Japan, those same games might move some decent #'s in western markets to make some profit for them.

New Sonic game with the dc engine! WOO!

 

[Mama Smurf]

I hope it's the one that's meant to be all flashy and awesome looking.

Sega...Sega...Sega.... didn't sales of your titles on the XBox teach you anything?

It's not surprising at all. ;-)

 

[sprsk]

i bet the sonic game on xbox 360 still looks like a dreamcast game.

 

[FoneBone]

When was Sonic 360 confirmed? Just curious...

 

[sprsk]

When was Sonic 360 confirmed? Just curious...

it wasnt. but come on, what other games does sega make now a days?

 

[Tantric]

Did you make this thread just so you could troll it?

 

[Rhindle]

Did you make this thread just so you could troll it?

That's what I was wondering

 

[bitwise]

Did you make this thread just so you could troll it?

you dont want to join in on his "moneyhat" chorus? :lol

yeah, it is pretty obvious. sp0rsk, you should do something about it!

Sega...Sega...Sega.... didn't sales of your titles on the XBox teach you anything?

more $$$ is always good

Well, to be fair, X360 stands a considerably better shot at appealing to the Japanese user thanks to its pretty hefty Japanese lineup of developers. I'm sure MS will do pretty much everything 'right' this time...it's just up to the gamers to buy the system.

more $$$ is always good

And with the just looking at how many of their titles bomb on platforms other than the XBOX, they could probably really use it.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Virtua Fighter 360? Hmmm....

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I don't need shit from them except Shenmue 3

 

[isamu]

it wasnt. but come on, what other games does sega make now a days?

*cough*Daytona USA*cough....come on Sp0rsk you should know this already.

 

[sprsk]

*cough*Daytona USA*cough....come on Sp0rsk you should know this already.

thats not sega, thats AM2 and people who are much better than sega.

 

[nitewulf]

otogi 3 and panzer dragoon 3 please.

 

[xsarien]

*cough*Daytona USA*cough....come on Sp0rsk you should know this already.

Considering how Sega's done such an admirable job of completely sucking the life out of Sonic, attempting a land-speed record in how quickly they can kill an IP (Crazy Taxi), and approving complete trash like Sega AGES, I'm beginning to think it may be for the best that Sega just hang up their console hat all together and stick to the arcades, where more rational heads still appear to be running things.

 

[sprsk]

otogi 3 and panzer dragoon 3 please.

mmmm panzer dragooon

[SantaC]

wasn't sonic 360 confirmed in an interview with sonic team?

Very true, another possibility to go with this is maybe MS is helping fund or look past fees for the Japanese market early on.

If they do decide to eat some profits, doing it at launch in Japan is definately seems to be a good choice for the long term investment.

 

[PG2G]

I hope all the Sega games are coming from Smilebit

 

[PhatSaqs]

I sense bitterness in this thread...

 

[gameboya]

you guys sure this is not from spong?

 

[bitwise]

you guys sure this is not from spong?

as the first post stated its from gamespot

Yeah, let's completely forget about the good games and instead focus simply on amplifying the negatives.

you guys sure this is not from spong?

You sure you're not trying a little too hard?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

SHENMUE FUCKING 3!!!! GIVE ME NOW!!!

 

[Kiriku]

Congratulations Microsoft, you got Sega on-board! Time for Sega to rip the Japanese charts next-gen as well. This will be big.

I think I've made my point clear enough.

 

[Redbeard]

Prediction: Sega once again attempts to revive some of their old franchises only to find that noone cares except a few hardcore fans, resulting in another generation of Nintendo fans arguing about how stupid Sega is for supporting the Xbox 360 instead of the Revolution.

 

[demi]

Anyone else find it strange that Gamespot refers to 'From Software' as the company behind Murakumo? Do they really think people identify with that title? I'm surprised they didn't mention Otogi or Otogi 2...

 

[ThirdEye]

meh 360

 

[Soul4ger]

Frame Gride 2 pleez.

 

[sprsk]

SHENMUE FUCKING 3!!!! GIVE ME NOW!!!

dont get your hopes up bro ;_;

 

[Speevy]

Go Xbox 360. More developers (or some of the same ones) on board can't possibly be bad.
