Let's see some of this magical, mysterious treasure vault of upcoming 360 exclusives that Microsoft keeps telling us to wait for.

fishd6244d ago

"So what else was I shown? Well, I was shown a trailer for a game not due out till 2009 but was sworn to absolute secrecy. Apparently, Sony just wanted to give a glimpse of what the console will be capable of.

In fact, the game is such a secret that when I mentioned the game to Phil Harrison last week he was unsure at first whether even to admit the title existed. When I explained I had been shown it under strict Non Disclosure Agreement terms he looked relieved.

I don't mean to be a tease - all I can say is that I was left speechless. If the footage I was shown truly is "in game", as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion."

ICO 3?!

"mysterious treasure vault of upcoming 360 exclusives" - you're so mean GWAVE. lol

I hope they give me something to look forward to. I know i have stuff coming for my PS3 but what about my 360? Just finished Halo 3 and wasn't really into the story so i'll most likely be skipping ODST unless the story is noob friendlier.

Monchichi0256244d ago

I was on point with my MS predictions for last E3 except for the whole Final Fantasy thing. But for this year....

* They will announce a lot of additional things for the new X-box experience. Including the support for LIVE gaming like 1 vs 100 and games like that.

* A new SKU unit announced. Maybe like a Xbox360 slim.

* No price cuts in 09. We got one last year and they have to spread the pricing out for the next 3 years.

* Gamewise I expect announcements on Splinter Cell, Killer Instincts, Perfect Dark and Alan Wake amonst other things.

That's all I know so far. What are you guys thinking?? Sony, Wii and 360??

Monchichi0256244d ago

What are you guys disagreeing about?! LOL I was just putting my own personal thoughts about what "I" thought was gonna happen!!

I also wanted to know what you thought was gonna happen! Geez!! LOL

Jinxstar6244d ago

Mono. If they disagree they think you may be wrong. Doesn't mean they think your being a fanboy or anything. I didn't disagree. I really don't care. Some people may just think nothing in regards to alan wake or KI360 will be announced for example. hence they disagree... Really though if they do then great. If not then meh.

Freak of Nature6244d ago (Edited 6244d ago )

Freak of Nature6244d ago

Were those comments from the BBC reporter?

Can you imagine,we are still in the dark about this mystery game? I sure hope something is shown about it at this E3.If not it was all fabrication IMO.

mastiffchild6244d ago

The BBC guy won't have been lying but, of course, it's fully possible that since then what he saw has been canned, changed or shelved so until confirmation either way he'll be able to say nothing more.

My did worked for the Beeb for ages and nobody he worked with ever just fibbed to make a story-esp not one with such huge claims.

Conduit and S&P2 apart(Muramasa being an exception I hope)there's less coming to EU on the Wii than i hoped. The supposed culling of both US and EU Fatal Frame 4 was gutting and Fragile is doing the same I heard and god knows what else wont come west. Zelda is a must for them, imo, as just M+ won't please gamers at all. Still can't believe Reggie stays in a job giving the US "hardgore" like his beloved AC and cancelling FF4-w4nker!

Sony have loads to show-even more than we know of so far-so they're a big mystery but no price cut, imo.

I hope MS and Bungie show ODST and it finally moves Halo along as I fear the seriesis getting stale and more of the same won't work for them this time. I'd love the franchise to feel fresh and vibrant and relevant in SP again while adding to the strength of the MP.Other than that I fear MS may go casual as all hell-lets hope not and also that we get more than just another PS exclusive going multi-new IPs are what MS needs to give us more than anything(obviously Nintendo do as well but it won't ever happen again-they gave up after Pikmin, which, imo, is the most overrated game ever anyway).

Seeing as we were told that Alan Wake would be a 360 launch title showcasing the power of the console way back when the guy's gone far beyond fashionably late and is staggering towards plain rude! appear AW! And Huxley. And Wardevil. And maybe 8days-surely one of those games for PS3 or 360 that promised so much will appear one day? Why not E3?

Whatever happens I dunno why the article feels Sony needs t "get back in the game" after all the games announced and shown for both PSP and PS3 so far this year-it's MS who've been dragging their heels(in piblic anyway) this year to date. Hard to guess what we'll get but I really expect an exciting E3 and period all the way through TGS this year with so much cooking right about now!

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle19d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7719d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg25d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree25d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai25d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde26d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy26d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12526d ago (Edited 26d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
