Quote from Frankie (Halo Director):
The best looking game could be anything. Geometry Wars is one of my favorite looking games. Forza. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. Crysis. Gears. And let's not even send out a clarion call to Uncharted people.

Alan Wake: AN provided a good story, good gameplay, and was just as long as the first. Want to know the difference? It was $45 cheaper. Do you enjoy paying $60 for 6-8 hour games? Because that's what fable 2 and 3 were
Rumors have it that Forza Horizons was developed by a different developer, and is supposedly open world.
"A lot of life left in the Xbox 360." Yep, last year it sold more than PS3 and Wii.
And Yea, XBLA games like Alan Wake, which for a fraction of the price is as long as more single player games this gen (6-8 hours for $12? Sounds good to me)
Oh, and this year there releasing a new Halo (you know, that franchise that sells over 5 million units day one), Fable (two titles actually, one for XBLA and one for Kinect), Forza Horizons (Rumored to be an ope...
Fable sells. Fable 2 and Fable 3 combined sold over 8 million. Crimson Skies sold less than 1 million. Mechassault 1 sold 1 million+, Mechassault 2 sold less than that. If Microsoft does make a new IP, I suggest more people buy it so MS continues to take risk.
Honestly, why even make it DLC? It was obviously finished before the game was released. It's day one content, at the very least give it free to players who bought the game new.
I don't know why Gamers don't take a stand, developers and publishers will keep on pushing and pushing. There a business, they want money, and until Consumers say no they will keep trying to get more money.
Anyways, I'll speak with my wallet. I bought ME1, ME2, but wil...
First off, I doubt Valve would let anyone buy them. Steam makes a decent amount of money, Half-Life is loved by millions of PC gamers, Left 4 Dead & Portal & Team Fortress were good, new IP's that sold well this gen. (And yes I know Team Fortress is a sequel, point is still valid)
Secondly, any new IPs MS has in production is probably for the new console (launch/launch window titles).
And finally, I hope 343i delivers on Halo 4, and really capture...
I believe there contract states that ultimately, Bungie will control the IP/etc. Activision only has a publishing deal, and will take care of marketing/etc.
The fans made a huge commotion during that IW Fiasco, and that's when Bungie cleared it up.
Honestly, you could apply that logic to almost any genre. Puzzles, Platformers, JPRGs, Racers, etc.
Halo? Battlefield? Counter Strike? Team Fortress 2?
"...not being able to produce a title different to what they did their whole life."
I'd say Metal Gear Ac!d, Boktai, Zone of Enders and Castlevania are all vastly different from each other, and different than the MGS franchise.
The game jumped from 30 FPS and Sub HD to 60 FPS and HD.
Yep, instead the fake Ninja Theory DmC will run at 15-20 FPS (just like Heavenly Sword and Enslaved), but but it'll feeeeel like 60fps. Amirite?
Even if it's short, the price SHOULD match it.
There's no point trying to explain that to these guys. They hate Call of Duty because IW and Treyarch don't spend millions and years of development into making a new engine. Just "blah blah Call of Duty sucks trollololol"
MW2 and Black Ops actually added plenty of new features. Trolls like you however, just like to ignore that fact. WoW was a (basically) carbon copy of CoD4 though.
(However, the games are unbalanced and glitchy)
I thought Nazi Zombies and Gun Customization was pretty innovative.
How was BF3 innovative? New Engine? That's not innovation. Destruction? Bad Company 2 had that, and Red Faction did it better. Sound Design? That's always been great?
How was Uncharted 3/Gears 3/etc. innovative?
You realize all consoles gimp down other games. The VRAM alone is bad enough.
But what games does the Xbox stagnate? Elder Scrolls? GTA? Mass Effect?
The best looking game could be anything. Geometry Wars is one of my favorite looking games. Forza. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. Crysis. Gears. And let's not even send out a clarion call to Uncharted people.

As for what other exclusive titles does Xbox have? Well this year: Halo 4, Crimson Dragon, Alan W...
