Support NeoGAF

[jarrod]

Interesting to note that Sega of Japan/Sammy or whatever they're called now is not on this developers list. SOA? Ehhh.

They also list Namco Hometek (the US subsidiary) instead of Namco.

Dynasty Warriors 5 remix at Xbox 360 launch including everything from the expansion pack with next gen power eliminating the fog, allowing for more troops on screen with zero pop in, more characters, two player co-op with no problems, and an online mode with up to 2-6 players!

A man can dream, can't he!

I've heard a few rumblings about a big game series from SE not being Sony exclusive anymore (going multiplatform), but that's it. It's a bit more reliable than a simple rumour, but it's certainly not a "fact" yet.

Please let it be Kingdom Hearts and not a series I actually care about.

That may not mean Xenon, though. Revolution is a more probable candidate for any multiplatform SE stuff, I'd think, though who knows, maybe they'll go crazy and put such a game on all 3. I would just hope they tweak toward each consoles' strengths, though.

No no no, it definitely means Xenon. By multiplatform I was meaning PS3 and Xenon. I wanted to say that Sony would not lose the series. Of course it could also go to the revolution too, but I guess MS will already pay (one way or another) a lot for getting the series, if it happens, and certainly won't see Nintendo getting a free pass to the party happily.

 

[Mrbob]

Ok what are the big games from Square Enix? I want to try and figure this out!

Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts
Dragon Quest
Chrono series (Is this big?)


I don't know all of Enix games am I missing something?

 

[xsarien]

Yes, because heaven forfend that more people have access to Final Fantasy.

Misltwalker is a 2nd party ?

They are a part of the Microsoft Games department, no? good news for them if so! thet'll have buckets of cash to spend on making games

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

pardon my ignorance but search seems busted and I've been gone for awhile...is it really called Xbox 360 now?

 

[bogg]

Hey blim, is there anything you can say about shadowrun? I hope it's not a MMORPG.
If shadowrun turns out great, I might have to buy this xbox 360....
I doubt sony will let Final Fantasy (the main games) or dragon quest go multi-platform. They know how important those games are.

They are not a part of MGS, Mistwalker is an independant company. MGS does all the "dirty" work for the games, and Mistwalker provides the art, music, story, game design. That way they get all the funding they want for the games, but after they are done with the 2 RPGs they don't have to work with MS anymore if they do not want to.
They get the best of both 1st and 2nd party developement system.

It's not a MMORPG, but there should be a live coop mode.

I'm a little late to this thread but since when was Bioware and Epic 1st/2nd parties?

Jade Empire is a 2nd party game.
Gears of Wars will be a 2nd party game.

Sorry I know next to nothing about Japan except the 1st/2nd party games from MGS.

 

[bogg]

Awesome. I better start saving up.
Next gen will be the first time I'll be able to afford all consoles (i fuckin hope so).
e3 is going to be great :rock

 

[Blimblim]

Well, the thing that could worry you a bit is that UT2006 is being developed by the Unreal Championship 2 team, and not the main Epic team who's working exclusively on Gears of Wars. I don't know if this will change anything or not in how UT 2006 will be compared to the current one.

It's not a launch title btw, it's a 2006 game.

 

[Borys]

Hey Blimx2, is Gears of War exclusive for the Box2? And I mean exclusive as Halo 2 not Halo 1?

 

[Blimblim]

Don't know. I'd say it will be a time exclusive, but it's just my opinion.

Gah! Where's massiveattack then? :/

Do you know if Artoon's Xenon ARPG is a 2nd party title? Or if TFLO is really Xenon bound as rumored?

 

[bogg]

It's not a launch title btw, it's a 2006 game.

That's cool. The only console i'm considering getting at launch is the revolution if Nintendo actually delivers (im a nintendo whore), other than that, im waiting for the price drop\lots of kick ass games.

I only heard about the Sakaguchi, Mizuguchi and Okamoto games. Plus one more as a 2nd party title. There could be more, I don't know.

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

Artoon's Xenon ARPG

blinx goes to rpg ?

 

[Shiggy]

I say it uses a Gyro chip like their last GBA game (Yoshi's Universal Gravitation) :lol

Halo came to PC, and they are the epitome of 1st party I guess at the moment!

I notice Sphere Frame isn't on your list. They're made up from the cream of the crop Anchor developers that left Anchor and started their own studio. What is up with Sphere Frame, afterall they're among the best developers in the world when it comes to fighting action like in the UFC and wrestling games.

 

[Srider]

All I see in my head when I see that list of developers is......


Anime/Movie/Sports games and Rehash Sequels.....


I need to see the final/secret Japanese list, maybe that'll be more exciting.

Oh and Dimps sucks, they did a great job at ruining Saint Seiya.

Isn't Monolith Software included under Namco. So technically, their "signed up" too.

the next UT is coming to PC. The UC2 team is the primary team working on it though. They are VERY talented. So don't worry about Epic not doing a PC version.

Also Epic is working with MS on a original game, while Epic is working with Midway on the Unreal property.

Having played the UC2 demo I'm not worried. The style of play is almost indistinguishable IMO, except for the melee mode of course. BTW, I'm a big UT2004 whore, so take that FWIW.
