Everybody and their mothers keep telling me it's coming out this year...

Is that official? If so, can you please link me to where MS themselves said that it was coming out in 2005?

Thanks!

Developers, insiders, and the fact that dev kits have been out for a long time is proof enough. But I'm sure there's something more substantial out there. Smelly.

They haven't "officially" said it, but they've been leaking "unofficial" info left and right.

The link doenst work!

Nothing official, even if MS never tried to deny it of course. You'd better believe it will be out in 2005.

 

[WhippinSean]

I don't believe it will come out this year... seems very unlikely... what with the Xbox still getting good games this year... it would just be weird.

I'll wait till E3 when they reveal it to find out the real release date. If it is 2005 though... that would be really cool... but I am still buying AAA titles on Xbox this year, like Chaos Theory, UC2, Rainbow Six Lockdown and Conker...

Where are the triple A titles in your list of mediocre and ports?

Yeah, I'm sure someone with contacts, friends, etc. in the industry (BlimBlim) knows less than you. :lol

Xbox 2 | Xbox Next | Xenon | Next Box | Xbox 360 | Xbox HD | etc. will be out 4thQ 2005. MS hasn't even announced the system yet, but everyone knows its coming.

from my outsider view: I'd say there is a 90 to 95 percent chance that the new Xbox will indeed make it out this year. I know that people on the inside would say it's more like 99-100% chance

Learn how to spell, you redneck hick!

All those games, maybe sans Conker, are fucking amazing titles. Chaos Theory scored a 9.9 in OXM... and all the others scored in the 9.0 range as well... meaning it is a AAA tittle.

And I forgot to mention two other games coming out for Xbox this year.

Moto GP 3 and Forza.

OHHHHHHHHHH YEAH!!!

This is the year of the Xbox... again!

Chaos Theory demo on PC was boring, but I'm sure the rest of the game will be better. Not AAA, but fun. AAA is reserved for games that define a genre, stutter face.

But I mean, you're the one that thinks Ghost Recon 2 is some amazing achievement, while everyone else on the planet hates it.

Regardless, this isn't the point of this thread. You were trying to own me saying no one says Xbox 360 comes out this year. Clearly, I was right, and owned you totally.

I wish you weren't my brother. I'm seriously looking into how I can cut any ties I have with you. I'll get a blood transfusion if necessary.

I hate to get into this again, but AAA has nothing to do with game quality, and everything to do with how much marketing money is spent on a game.

You can't fron on that...

Halo 2 = Pop Culture Phenomenon

ARF ARF!

Say... I wonder what the Revolution will look like... hmmmm....

Revolution - Revolutionizing the Revelation

MOTO GP 3, CHAOS THEORY, UNREAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2, CONKER LIVE AND RELOADED, RAINBOW SIX LOCKDOWN, FORZA and more... 2005!

 

[God's Hand]

Uh, didn't you return Halo 2 a week after purchasing it? Yeah, thought so.

WhippinSean, after that post, I hate you.

Really? I consider Mario 64 to be an AAA game and it has nothing to do with marketing.

For games, AAA originated from marketing spend. Publishers look at all the games they're putting out and say "this one is AAA and gets lots of marketing, this one is A and gets some, this one is C and we won't advertise it much."

I'm sure Mario 64 was a AAA title. On the other hand, I'm sure the Matrix games were too - and nobody would argue that they were AAA quality. Same thing with Driver 3.

 

[WhippinSean]

Remember when fighting games used to be AAA?

Basically on Dreamcast, you had your Soul Calibur and your Marvel vs Capcom 2.

AAA fighting games.

Strange, I've just always associated an AAA game with the quality itself. Never marketing.

PS- Xbox 2 will be out in October/November 2005! Start saving! The next generation is almost here!

I have foreseen it..
