Microsoft E3 2006 Conference Thread

Outside of Shadowrun, I want some suprises of the japanese variety. Preferably lots of JRPG's.

Hopefully Nippon Ichi ports their PS3 projects as well to give Xbox gamers a taste of excellence.

N1 porting to 360 would be a small nothingness of an announcement that will likely not happen and would be totally bizarre.

Without knowing anything more, I guess we can bank on:

1) Will Gears/Halo 3 blow everything else away?
2) What cool XBL content will be available for download?

Don't forget, SquareEnix still has a 360 surprise.

Great. You just ruined one of the surprises left :lol :lol

Anyway, this surprise thing, doesn't mean anything to me. I'm surprised by what i see, not by what is announced. Forza 2....Fable 2....lol, i would never be surprised by hearing them for the 1st time in the conference, i will surprised by what they show from those games :)

I pretty much agree, but you know how GAF works. It all exists upon hyperbole!

I have a strange feeling that they might announce GTA to be exclusive of some sort.

Then again, MS is usually completely unable to keep anything a secret, let alone something of this magnitude.

Yeah, so no GTA exclusive in other words. We would have some leaks by now. :lol

We'll see, but I don't expect anything great out of this 'surprise'. And it better not be another damn MMORPG.

I have a strange feeling you are completely wrong. ;)

What happens tomorrow?

Amir0x: please stop hinting. I think that announcement at the top of the form applies here. It's getting annoying - we've got folks doing the same thing in lots of threads right now ("if only you knew!") and it's pretty frustrating trying to sift through it all.
 
The only thing suprising about SquareEnix is the fact that they keep fucking Microsoft in the ass and Microsoft just keeps leeeetting it happen.

Keep giving it too them SE!!! Because its certainly funny to watch shit like FFIX get ported.

I wasn't hinting, you asked me and I told you what it was in the other thread. That's the opposite of hinting when I tell you exactly what it is I heard :p

not going to comment on here until after I visit the conference... don't want anything to be leaked or stated that would be of the influence of me.

For all those Microsoft fans...

I want to share with you my list I researched and e-mailed devs about. It's as of May 5th, 2006 so I still need to update with news I found out today.

Complete Xbox 360 Video Game List

I am posting this because biatches over at Teamxbox stole my list from the first page and gave credit to themselves. What f'ing homos, they even have the nerve of asking which games to add to 'their' list. Anyways, published it anyways at XE360 so they don't' go ahead and take it from these forums again.

amir0x... may I ask when? never read about the exclusivity... just next-gen consoles. It would be dumb for Lucas Arts to make that exclusive. Oh well, provide me with some info and I will take it off the list or put it into the rumored section.

Dont you worry, you'll be able to take it off your list in only 1 day and 19 hours!

nice list, but according to latest issue of PSM, all those games that are bolded are coming to PS3 by year's end. PS3 FTW.

okay lol, well I will put it in the rumored section then for now.

"While the original Mercenaries' high-octane, go anywhere, do anything and blow the crap out of everything style was a hit with gamers, the whole experience was screaming to run on next-generation game systems,"

that is what I quickly read at IGN just now.

"Apparently Mercenaries 2 is in development for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and should be out at the end of this year."

that quote is from Eurogamer. I will just move it to the rumor section for now lol.

Tecmo:
Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (Team Ninja)
Rumored:
*Dead or Alive: Code Cronus (Team Ninja)
*Ninja Gaiden 2 (Team Ninja)
*Project IMPACT (Team Ninja)
*Project Progressive (Team Ninja)

If those were all shown at E3,this would be the greatest E3 ever for me.

3 more days....
 
Pragmatically speaking, I can't see GTA being exclusive to the X360, especially when the series found it's success on the PS2. A timed exclusive, multiplatform version or port later on down the road is much more likely.

And even i am moderately surprised

at this point in time, the X360 version first makes more sense simply because the PS3 fans will laugh and say "lols- i'll wait for the superior PS3 version!"

it also means they can be a bit more agressive with the X360 version, and then improve on what htey have for the PS3 version rather than the other way round (have to worry about compressing a Bluray down to a DVD etc)

but yes, it would be a major surprise if it wasn't headed Sonys way.

Overrated in what way? Not in terms of success - it's one of the most successful franchises of all time. Not in terms of quality - so far, all the 3D ones have been superb.
 
gamergirly said:

Overrated or not, it is undeniably one of the most successful franchises of all time. Anything that can compete with or outsell the mighty Halo is a deadly force to be reckoned with. I know Microsoft and Sony would kill to have this game exclusive to their systems.
 
gamergirly said:

eh... anyone who could get it exclusive garuntees a fair bit of purchases from western, one consle gamers and id say that the xbox 360 userbase will skew more GTA friendly than the other two, percentage-wise.

Based on the general vibe I'm getting from the forums, I'd say GTA is either PS3 exclusive or multiplatform and a ways off.

Never said it would be huge, and the same thing could have been said about the Culdcept Saga announcement before it happened.
 
Dr. Kitty Muffins said:

well N1 is pretty much a one-platform developer. its part of their strategy to produce on lower budgets and they have already confirmed PS3 as their next platform:
Q: So your next title will be on PS2?
A: Yes.

Q: When you move to PS3, will you continue to use sprites and pictures?
A: Yes. It is very good at capturing the anime art style. To be honest, you can say our technology is PS-level when we developed for the PS2, and SFC level when we worked on the PS. So yup, maybe we will get to PS2 level when we move to the PS3! (laughter) Seriously, we hope to please users with the meat of our games - the content. We have also received many comments that are both for-and-against. (3D vs sprites) At the moment the encouragement to continue with our present style is very strong. Nippon Ichi shall move on the path that Nippon Ichi wants to go.
