'Codename: Kingdoms' Will Be 2010's 'Agent' + First Gameplay?

GGTL@E3 - "That's when I really got excited. This was the start of Microsoft's press conference, with Black Ops and Gears Of War 3 shown. Both awesome, but as soon as I saw that mix of swords and sandals, I thought BAM! - Stronghold 3.

I was wrong."

Gears of War 3 looks good, but I was expecting more.

D4RkNIKON5792d ago

Gears, Fable, Halo and that was it.. Nothing new, nothing unexpected nothing we didn't already know

despair5792d ago

even fable was just your run of the mill trailer with no live gameplay...gears looks great though.

dizzleK5792d ago (Edited 5792d ago )

holy hyperbole batman.

i'm pretty sure that a R* exclusive is a much bigger coup than a crytek one.

exnihilonihilfit5792d ago

R*, a bigger studio, is doing an exclusive in the Genre which they are the definitive developer in.

Crytek, known really only for their amazing graphics are doing an exclusive on Xbox (so graphics won't be the show case), in a genre that they've never before developed a game in.

Granted, I'd love to see this, or any, game come to PS3, especially given that the engine is multiplatform, but it's also not something I'm going to get heartbroken over.

raztad5792d ago

Crytek is overrated. Plain and simple.

They are incredible at pushing tech forward but, I've seen nothing outstanding (aside graphics) in their games. More so, they have NO experience in other genre besides FPS, so to compare Kingdom announcement with Agent is stretching it A LOT.

LordMarius5792d ago

Why do I get the feeling that this game will be compared to God of War 3?

knight6265792d ago

didnt wats his name from GTTV said "is this a respond to God of War 3" and other guy said "we not responding to no one" he also laughed

Snakefist305792d ago

Its M$ they copy everything.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5792d ago

I doubt Crytek is making a Hack n Slash game to be compared to GoW 3.

despair5792d ago

I never thought Crytek would make anything but FPS but here they are...with a 360 exclusive no less(probably gonna be on PC also,if its not Hack and slash)

swiftshot935792d ago

Holy Balls. Are you kidding? Rockstar. Think about that name. Rockstar, that one company that gave us the most revolutionary game ever, and has (once again) cemented its position as one, if not the, best developers of our age with the release of Red Dead Redemption. Rockstar NORTH, nonetheless, is being compared to Crytek? just lol

sombrero5792d ago

Honestly, I think Rockstar and Crytek are two of the most overrated developers today. If I had to guess which will be better, though, I'd go with Agent.

Both will probably be great, though.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5792d ago (Edited 5792d ago )

I take this as a surprise from MS in their conference.

Crytek making an Exclusive for Xbox 360 and not for PC.

Microsoft Media Briefing Brings Halo 4, 5, and 6 Announcement with Trailer

MovieStinger: "Microsoft started their media briefing off strong today showcasing titles like Modern Warfare 3 and Gears of War 3, there was even a new look at last year’s Codename: Kingdoms, now renamed Ryse, which will run on the powerful Crytek engine (Crysis) and use Kinect’s motion technology. Unfortunately, like the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Microsoft’s briefing quickly started to fall apart towards the end. That is, until they debuted Halo 4..."

I think it's already over stayed it's welcome. It can disappear again and never surface again for all I care.

Marcus Fenix5435d ago

that's my most disappointing thing in the whole show, I was thinking about it all day, they should've said that it's a Kinect title long time ago.

downwardspiral5435d ago

i was disappointed that its gonna be an on rail kinnect game..

trounbyfire5435d ago

No kingdoms i thought was going to be a GOW clone but WTF man really this is

Nes_Daze5435d ago

It looked good, but it was too short, and didn't it look like another rail game? I was hoping that it would use kinect to a minimum.

Fishy Fingers5435d ago

Waste of an 'excusivity contract' with a big name dev if you ask me. Expected so much more from this.

trounbyfire5435d ago

did you see star wars
if we can't get a star wars move game with the LS that melt everything i lose hope

What We Expect from Microsoft at E3 2011 (Gears, Forza, Halo, etc.)

GameDynamo - "The Electronic Entertainment Expo is a show on par with some of the most sought after trade shows in America, showing us all how far video games have come in the last decade. One of the heavy hitters in the show is, of course, Microsoft. It might seem as if there isn't a whole lot in store from the software giant other than Kinect games, but we've been surprised before, so we might be surprised again. So far, there are a few confirmed and rumored titles we've gathered from various sources that Microsoft followers should keep on the radar."

I like the "etc" in the title.
Curious to see that.

Reibooi5455d ago

I expect to either see a whole lot of something(new games and exclusives hopefully) OR a whole lot of nothing(Kinect junk and the games we already know are coming) Considering their track record as of late I would think it will be the latter.

xAlmostPro5455d ago

Gears 3 SP info, forza 4, more halo, kinect kinet kinect

LOGICWINS5455d ago

Obviously, I'm most excited for Sony's conference since I only have a PS3, but I always love to c M$ conference to c wat crazy shit they pull out of their ass at the end lol.

Istanbull5455d ago

Gears, Forza and Halo? Again? Sorry but this is boring. MS needs to open new studios instead of shutting down.

Sony owns more studios then MS and Nintendo combined, thats why they lead the industry for 15 years.

jetlian5455d ago

years? where was l... 10 maybe but as of right now they last dead last

HolyOrangeCows5455d ago

Well, I think it will be exactly like the last one; two or so exclusives, some timed-exclusive map packs, kinect, kinect, kinect.

The sad truth is probably more kinect shoveware games..

MintBerryCrunch5455d ago

better show that new crytek game and more new IPs

stealth500k5455d ago

thats actually turned out to be an on rails kinect game. So its really forgetable now.

No Way5455d ago

Link? Proof? I have not heard of it, so show something ..

stealth500k5455d ago

"Codename: Kingdoms, which has been revealed as being a first person “melee action” title that features “Kinect support.”"

Nac5455d ago

That features support, doesnt say it is a Kinect game. I mean hell, First person combat alone isn't terrible. I play my Elder Scrolls in first person.

tigertron5455d ago

I'm hoping for new exclusives and IPs, but I fear most of their offerings will be Kinect shovelware. ¬_¬

MagicGamer5455d ago

Hoping modern warfare 3 gets a showing.
