I said "I think they will love a year in which they get all their top franchises". I never said for sure or tried to be a fanboy about it.
I'm glad a person with 2 bubbles felt the need to click on my name and check my background, if you'd checked a bit longer maybe you would have seen me defend the Vita or the Wii or the Wii U or gaming as a whole.
I wasn't aware that you knew the official numbers for software, why don't you please enl...
So you can speak as to what Microsoft Xbox 360 owners want now?
Not even I can do that and I do a good majority of my gaming on the Xbox 360.
I personally like a certain type of game, if you look at the history of new IP's, most fail to make any money at all. Microsoft has said they will announce a new IP this year, that is fine with me.
The reason its fine with me is because I saw a year like 2010, in which Microsoft put out a ton of g...
I was starting to flag on the series a bit, haven't bought or played Revelations. The news and info on AC3 have reignited my feelings for the game. Great change of scenery and the new character looks promising. This is definitely one I'll be buying day one, which hasn't happened since AC2.
Forza 4 already has a ton of DLC announced, I doubt the big announcement is DLC, Porsche might be included in Forza Horizon, but Microsoft has a new IP and probably Gears Of War Exile to announce. Still expecting that reboot at some time as well, Killer Instinct would be my guess.
Either way, its looking like the Xbox 360 is getting a ton of great content this year.
I hate that there is a ton of PS3 news on this site and there is little to no trolling, but the last couple of days, in all of the Xbox 360 news, its filled with trolls.
As fellow gamers, people should be happy for Xbox 360 only owners that they are getting some quality content this year. Last year was a banner year for PS3 and nobody denies that. I enjoyed playing a ton of PS3 exclusives, this year is a little bit more bare for the PS3 as far as exclusives I personally like ...
Well there are rumors of a new Killer Instinct, Gears Of War Exile and the new IP might be Kinect enhanced, like Halo 4, Forza 4 and Mass Effect 3 are, but it'll be controller based at its core.
Stop trolling, it seems Sony fans are never happy with what Microsoft is doing, so why bother being ignorant and posting it?
"Steve Beinner, Microsoft’s director of global marketing first party games, told the website that there is still “a lot of life left in the Xbox 360,” and teased that a new IP for the platform would be revealed later this year.
Forza isn't getting turned into a years franchise, this is a game that was originally titles "Forza World" I believe. Its an open world racing game, similar to Need For Speed. I think they are just using the Forza brand name for recogni...
Just because a game is on PC, doesn't mean its not exclusive. Microsoft doesn't count PC as a competing platform.
2010 saw Splinter Cell Conviction, Fable 3, Ninety Nine Nights 2, Crackdown 2, Alan Wake, Halo Reach, Metro 2033.
2011 actually say Forza 4, Gears 3, Halo CEA and The First Templar, not counting a slew of stellar XBLA games.
This year is looking solid and we've not even heard what is all coming, Halo 4, Alan Wake, Witc...
So they are saying there will indeed be a new IP for the Xbox 360 this year. Throw in this new Fable XBLA game, new Forza Horizon, Fable The Journey, Halo 4 and possibility of a new Killer Instinct. It all sounds pretty darn good.
That German magazine might have been right when they said all 4 of Microsoft's top franchises return. So far we know Halo, Fable, Forza, the only thing missing is Gears Of War Exile.
Could be a very interesting year and its loo...
Apparently its a new IP/spinoff with just the Forza name and probably the cars. Looks like this is going to be Microsoft's answer to Need For Speed. This isn't a Forza Motorsport game, but rather a open world racing game.
Definitely interesting, its not direct competition for Forza 4, its a whole new genre.
You cant stop Kratos! Only hope to contain him!
You guys definitely know more about this then I do. I'd love an open world or Need For Speed type of Forza game. Looking forward to hearing more on this for sure.
I wonder if that magazine that said Microsoft's 4 biggest franchises return this year was right.
Halo 4
Forza Horizon
Fable 4 or The Journey
Gears Of War Exile?
Food for thought.
I think Assassins Creed 3 can be the biggest selling of the franchise. I know a few people who love the setting and while they didn't play the other games, said they were definitely getting AC3.
Nice score, Halo is in safe hands and I'm glad 343i is handling the game. They actually have some original Bungie members and a lot of talented other members. Cant wait to see some of the game.
Agreed, I know Sony has a studio or two working on PS4 games, but those games will probably take years to complete. I wouldn't expect a PS4 until late 2013 or sometime in 2014.
I'm glad they are pumping out such quality titles still.
I don't think I understand what this is or what this means.
This sounds awesome! I just wish they wouldn't basically admit that Brotherhood and Revelations were nothing more then a full priced expansion pack.
I actually enjoyed Brotherhood, but I haven't gotten Revelations just yet. I am glad they put years of development into AC3, the setting looks new and the game is on my radar as a must have this year, unlike Revelations last year.
I can understand that point, but there are a lot of people who do voice work that aren't exactly professionals.
We don't really know the size of her role or the significance, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
People seem up in arms about her being in Mass Effect 3, I personally don't care. She likes Bioware and loves the Mass Effect series, Bioware went to her with this, not the other way around.
I've been following her (not literally) for years now and she is a legit gamer, so I have no issues with this. She isn't paid to play or to be a geek or anything like that.
In fact she just got married the other week to that nerdy Blair Herter guy from G4, wh...
I think it makes a case for quality games being remade. I don't think every remake would have the same success. Also, they put this out on multiple platforms, which has helped it as well. Still, its a inexpensive way to make some profit. I don't think it costs very much to smooth out these games and throw some Achievements/Trophies on them.
I've only bought a couple of HD remakes, the MGS ones, Halo CEA and God Of War 1 and 2.
If they are worth o...
