Microsoft flaunts fall games line-up at X08 in Toronto

Globe & Mail gets a little hands-on time with several upcoming Xbox 360 games, including Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Fable II, and others. From the story:

"Every summer Microsoft hosts a media event in Toronto called X-whatever-year-it-happens-to-be. There are never any big announcements or reveals; it's simply an opportunity for journalists to get hands-on time with some major titles before they're released over the holiday months. X08 took place Thursday within the spacious confines of a large downtown nightclub in Ontario's capital, and, as expected, there were no surprises. However, as promised, it did give the press a chance to check out plenty of this fall's most anticipated games.

As I wandered around a large dance floor converted into corridors of gaming pods, I had my first opportunity to check out Star Wars: The Force Unleashed..."

Take a Ps3 game, copy it then wash it down give them a shiny front cover and BOOM!!! You have a sell out xbox360 games for retards

jack who6356d ago

1.1 lol omg u didnt just say that? noooo i wont believe it?!go play bioshock...oh wait

AngryXbot6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

is multi platform.

So not only are you screwed in terms of quality if you are a 360 owner, but you are also screwed on the exclusivity front.

Pain6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

To Scarred they might reveal there secret ><;;;

They got it from GiantEnemyCrab just a fyi.

And lol @ Taronta!

RoidRage6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Watching the little sony minions scramble never gets old. I guess if I had 1 AAA exclusive in 2 years, I would be a crying little b*tch like you guys. Pull that ps3 out of your a**, sew your nuts back on, and buy a the 360. If not, it won't be long until your hair is spiked, prosthetic elf ears glued to your head, and you will spend your days standing on a hill with a big cardboard sword weeping loudly because an imaginary demon captured your imaginary 12 year old girlfriend, that's assuming you aren't already like this.

I've got a couple pictures, one is for my 360 buddies, the other is for you emo Sony p*ssies. See if you can tell which one is for whom.

Immaculate6356d ago

Even though you seem like you are actually having a steroid induced fit, you just made me almost piss myself from laughing. I've met several Sony guys, and it is so easy to imagine them actually acting the way you described.

Mr Bot6355d ago

r true loyal dogs to MS!! MS screw us and we say screw us more just give us one more halo!

we have the best console, that plays all ps2 JRPG's and with some disney cartoon shooters! our GPU has double the amount of RSX but i still dont get how its possible ps3 exclusives are miles ahead of our games???

They will dedicate a week of programing to X08!

TheHater6356d ago

What are you talking about?

StephanieBBB6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Anyhow imo Microsofts exclusive lineup looks weak. Sonys exclusive fall lineup looks much more promesing but when you add the games that come to both consoles I can safetly say that even those that only own 1 console should't be doing anything else than having a game seziure all day every day, this fall =)

iceman28856356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

What is the problem. This is the gamer zone, as in judging all consoles/systems equally. At no point in the article did they neigh say or even mention the ps3 and its fall lineup. Yet you feel it necessary to go onto the comment board and bring up the completely unnecessary "xbox 360 lineup is weak" comment. Well I think that's uncalled for and should head over to the fan zone.

PS: I hate fan boys on both sides that feel they have to go and trash talk their supposed "rivals" whenever nothing of the sort was brought up.

Edit: I realize you're trying to be neutral, but bringing up the ps3 in an xbox360 article/thread that doesn't even mention ps3 is just trying to evoke people.

StephanieBBB6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Im just commenting from a gamers standpoint and not saying that the xbox360 or ps3 is bad in anyway. If you continue to read past the first sentence in my comment you would realise that. This is how I feel upon the subject and feel free to disagree with me. But being over sensitive about either ps3 or 360 like you are is borderline fanboy i would say.

TheExecutive6355d ago

so people cant talk about the strength of a consoles lineup? If thats his/her opinion, its just as valid as say... yours.

mfwahwah6355d ago

Jesus, people are way too sensitive about "fanboys." If we call everyone with an honest opinion a "fanboy," then I'm going to go crazy.

Maybe you SHOULD leave. Obviously you're no different from PoG, pp, or Nasim.

If you're gonna go berserk everytime something stupid happens because of a few idiots, then I don't think people would want you here, anyway.

Apparently you have NO idea how good you really had it, do you?

Fine. Have a nice life.

Well damn, I'm impressed. I mean, Star Wars Unleashed (on the PS3 also), Fallout 3 (PS3), Fable II,You're in the Movies, and Gears of War 2?

Wow, just wow.

No true first party exclusives?

You're doing an amazing job Microsoft.

/sarcasm

6356d ago
Stryfeno16356d ago

It is not like you own a 360...There is nothing wrong showing 3rd party support.

Anyway, Gears 2 is on top of my list...If it is like the first, I should be playing well into the New Year.

6356d ago
6356d ago
TheDeadMetalhead6356d ago

I agree. If I ever get a 360 (Which I probably won't. Gotta get a PS3, first) then Gears 2, GTA 4, and Fable 2 are the games I'm getting with it. :)

Silellak6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

It works, in some ways.

I bought a 360 around the time the PS3 was due to come out, due to the outrageous initial price of the PS3, and the fact I wanted an HD gaming system.

I was tempted to grab the MGS4 bundle I saw at Best Buy a couple weeks ago, but I didn't, because I realized nearly every game I wanted would ALSO be on the 360.

There are more PS3 exclusives in the long-run, sure, but I'd rather wait until they're out and (hopefully) the price of the PS3 drops a bit more.

I mean, the game I REALLY want is God of War 3, but now the rumor is that won't be out for another year and a half almost (Christmas '09), so there's no rush for me.

I guess the point of this rambling is that the fact the 360/PS3 share a large number of their library is an advantage for whoever has the cheaper console, and right now, that is Microsoft.

@2.8 Below:

I said it was *an* advantage. I didn't say they had *the* advantage, did I?

My point was without all those third-party games being shared between both consoles, the 360 would fall even more behind in sales than it already has.

6356d ago
ActionBastard6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Sales numbers disagree with you Silellak.

Edit: Regardless the semantics you apply, sales numbers disagree with "an" advantage too. If memory serves me right, the PS3 has always been the higher priced console. And it has outsold the 360 5 or 6 months out of the year, so far, with the price of the 20GB dropping. And that's an advantage? I understand what you are saying, I just don't agree.

lowcarb6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

It's funny how action bastard is always right there when Juuken is under fire lol. Anyways I actually see what juuken is saying and feel the act same way she does but about Ps3. I mean theres just nothing that interests me other then RFOM2 and LBP which will be great but really thats it. I might pick one up when Heavy rain comes out but it's not the game I expected it to be and the visuals in some areas need some better realistic treatment.

Edit below: Well let me know if you ever get a 360 Juuken. Would love to get you online and rape you lol j/k. Oh and Action I wasn't talking bad about you at all so chill with the anger managment crap. Why you got so defensive over that beats the heck out of me and why your in this threads beats the heck out of me even more.

juuken6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

And that's your preference. There's nothing wrong with that. As for me, I'm looking forward to Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Heavy Rain, Motorstorm 2, and some multi-platform games. For the 360, I'm only looking forward to Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean, and maybe Last Remnant.

Lmao @ lowcarb. I wouldn't speak too loud if I were you. I'm a seasoned gamer...well sort of. ^^;

I'll let you know when I get the 360.

Loss: I know it's coming to the PS3 but when?

ActionBastard6356d ago

Funny how you noticed something that doesn't exist. Just so you know, I read the comments and reply when compelled to do so. Doesn't matter who posted it. I like Juuken, she has bigger balls than some of the guys on this site. And that's a good thing.

Silellak6356d ago

Seriously, what part of "an advantage" don't you understand?

I know Sony fans don't want to admit it, but the 360 does have some advantages over the PS3. And the PS3 has some over the 360. Shocking news, I know.

Those "advantages" over the competition are how consumers choose one over the other. If the 360 didn't have any advantages over the PS3, then it'd be selling across the world like it is in Japan. Clearly it's not, so clearly it has SOME advantages. One of those is a lower price point. Another is the large library of shared games. Without BOTH of those factors combined, the 360 would have already lost. I guarantee you some 360 sales boil down to "What's the cheaper system I can play Madden on?"

A cheap console is nothing without a good game library, and a good game library won't get sold to anyone if the console costs too much.

ActionBastard6356d ago

"If the 360 didn't have any advantages over the PS3, then it'd be selling across the world like it is in Japan."

You're confusing choice or personal preference with advantage. An advantage is free online play. Or Blu-ray. Or Netflix integration. Or Media Center connectivity. And again, the simple fact that the cheaper console is getting outsold with a larger games library, lower price point and shared titles doesn't add up to an advantage. It would if it were outselling the higher priced competition. So now I ask: what part of "an advantage" don't you understand?

LossTheEarthbreaker6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

So they don't really count... and why is everyone so hyped for Fable 2, anyway?

Honestly. No sarcasm intended. I don't see what's behind the hype. I played Fable: The Lost Chapters (on PC).

The only things they have that I'm interested in are RPG's and Viva Piñata. If Banjo can actually be cool, I'll get it. If there's some XBLA stuff, that's cool.

But where are all the games? Other than Star Ocean 4 (which I'll most likely get as long as it isn't bad) and Halo Wars (which I won't be getting), I don't see much in the exclusive department in fall or 2009, good or not, for MS. My 360 looks to get very little game time in comparison to my PC, Wii, and PS3 this fall and into 2009 and 10.

They're slacking while both the Wii and PS3 are getting some amazing exclusives and a lot of them.

Oh and Juuken, Last Remnant is coming to PS3.

lowcarb6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Just because PS3 and Wii are finally starting to get some games that might live up to the hype doesn't mean that Ms is slipping. MS has a great lineup this year and even if those titles go to PC i could really careless. Now of course MS has not talked about it's future 360 lineup like Sony is doing way to early but it's there and I'm sure that the one year lead and ease of use on the development front will start to pay off in 2009 and 10. Love it or hate it MS is here to stay and Sony has never felt competition like this that is without a doubt a threat to there entire console gaming division. If MS out sells Sony in Software and Hardware this holiday season then prepare for a take over which we know will never happen but it's still fun to think about.

Firstkn1ghT6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Losstheearthbreaker,

My most anticipated game of 2008 is Fable 2. Fable: Lost Chapters was the best game I have ever played.

juuken6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Report me for *what* exactly? Oh, I see why my comments are usually deleted. Some of the 360 fans have been unfairly reporting me when I've done nothing wrong. Did I insult anyone? Did I call anyone any names that I should use in the Openzone instead of the Gamerzone?

Please, point out what I did wrong. Is it because I mentioned 360 fangirls? There are girls who play the 360 as well as the PS3 you know. That was not meant to be an insult?

Are you angry that I just spoke the truth about your console?

6356d ago
juuken6356d ago

F*ck you moderators, f*ck this site, and f*ck you 360 f*cktards.

I'm done with this site.

Goodbye!

Diselage6356d ago

Ok guys just because some one says something you feel should not be in the GZ does not make it ok to insult them. This behavior will get you banned. This is the GZ and is meant for constructive criticism. There is has been many request for a crack down in the GZ. I for one am going to crack down now.

When ever I see people speaking ill of fanboys or of fellow members, even indirectly they will be receiving bans. This is the GZ and fanboyism will not be tolerated.

6356d ago
borgome6356d ago

Ha, Will Smith, thats the funniest screen name and avatar I've seen.

Ahhhh, on topic, ....... looking forward to Star Wars and Gears 2.

boodybandit6356d ago

I don't mean this in a kissing up or brown nosing way but....
Thank You!

I hope you go on a banning tirade for people breaking gamer zone rules.

6356d ago
Diselage6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

Have to say this is one of the few times i've been called for favoring the PS3. While I do have plans to buy a PS3 i have not yet because there are no games that interest me, with none on the horizon really either. I Did have high hopes for Haze but that turned horrible in a hurry.

I assure you 360 and Wii are the only consoles of this generation in my house. All the deletes (which do not translate to bans) are because of language used and not for console affiliation. Trolls, fanboys, Xbot, Sony droids are words that do not need to be used in the GZ and if call people these names your comment will probably be deleted and perhaps a ban placed. This is a safe zone for mature discussion and debate. Talking about members character really isn't called for.

dantesparda6356d ago (Edited 6356d ago )

If you are going to start cracking on people then i hope you are truly fair about it, but doubt you will be. Cuz both sides are equally the same. I dont care what 360 fanboys say about the PS3 fanboys, both are equally as bad! Fanboyism has become "politics" and depending on what side of the isle you are on, will determine how you see it. There really is no more fair, objective opinions, just biased a$$ opinions. For example, if youse want the truth, the truth is the world has chosen Wii as the best console, yet i bet most of youse would never see/admit that. There is no objectivity, just biased a$$ed opinions.

6356d ago
morganfell6355d ago

Well dantesparda, you want the truth, here is the truth. The world has chosen the Wii as the most popular console, not the best console. You should learn the difference. Many a Wii owner has been greatly disappointed when they got home. The Wii isn't a game console no matter what Nintendo says. It's a gaming device.

Fallout 3 Remaster Is Allegedly Planned For Release At Some Point In The Future

A remaster of Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 action role-playing game, Fallout 3, is planned for release at some point in the future.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart7d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken77d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies128d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel19897d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_7d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg7d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher7d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq17d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Phoenix7679d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran879d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac79d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage79d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

neutralgamer1992267d ago

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro267d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
