The 360 has barely if any exclusives.. Timed at best. They put stuff like "Only on Xbox 360" and then 4-6 months later release it on another platform. 360 barely provides a unique gaming experience that can't be found on a PC or PS3. If a game sells well it's almost a certain that it will show up on another platform.
Halo, Bioshock, Gears, Lost Planet, Dead Rising on and on.. I know many people who would love to play Mass Effect but they are all not going to buy...
I guess MS.. The PC world is never going to conform to MS's locked down Live service where they control every aspect and then charge you for the priveledge.
It's a shame that they've compromised their 360 platform at the same time by doing all these 360/PC release's that make the 360 look like a poor mans gaming PC. It's all about the dolla dolla bill ya'll! PC gamers have seen XBL and they know if they let MS have success with this they will be paying for avatars, wallpaper...
Has any news come out of this?? Or is going to be another disappointing rehash of stuff we already knew about for the last year?
UT3 is playable and I would assume close to being finished on the 360. This game is definately not a PS3 exclusive beyond a couple months in 07.
so stop making up crap to fill your agenda. MS doesn't have a huge stake in HD-DVD.. Just because they have an add-on doesn't mean they are committed to it beyond being a member of the HD-DVD consortium.
I find it funny how people are accusing Toshiba and the HD-DVD camp for not letting the consumer decide. Well, Sony owns a lot of studios, forced Blu-ray into their game consoles as a way to gain marketshare. How is this leaving it up to the consumer? Hypocritical at best.
@8.1 - Are you typing from a Mac? Linux? Just wondering.. Maybe you haven't heard of The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation? Maybe you haven't seen the millions of Operating Systems and computers MS ha...
But I would say any software plugin is far from what real professional outboard FX gear will give you.. This sounds more like a commercial for Waves.
I think that countdown is for that stupid Speedball 2 XBLA game. I mean come on, it's MS.. The same people who said they had a huge announcement that was going to go down in history and it was Pac-Man.
I don't think we will see anything on NG2 until TGS where it will be announced for the 360 and PC, followed soon after by a PS3 announcement.
Early adopters FTL! One thing I've learned this gen from MS is that I will never buy their consoles on day 1 again. I will wait at least a year.
I do hate me some PC gaming. I've had PC's all my life and never once had the urge to want to subject myself to the hell that is PC gaming with all the technical problems they have. All the PC gamers I know spend more time troubleshooting their rigs than they do playing.
Again, one less reason to own a 360. The 360 barely offers a unique experience unfortunately and I think when looking back when the 360 is in 3rd place this will be one of the contributing factors.
I wonder if this will be a Games for Windows title? Doesn't seem like it, since MS never mentioned it in any of their conferences and I don't think Lost Planet was.
I just don't think MS appreciates or sees any value in having exclusive titles that can only be foun...
The 360 build is up and running and was on the cover of Xbox Magazine before all the PS3 version stuff came up. The editors were at Epic and were having multi player battles. The lead designer said they are using the 360 as the graphics bar and were more concerned with the PC version running smoothly on lower spec PC's.
For the 360.. Overlord, Dead Rising, Kameo just to name a few..
I don't want to go off-topic since this thread is about Heavenly, but since you seem so sure that no other system offers action/adventure I thought I would throw a few suggestions out.
What Best Buy do you work at? I want to make sure I never go there! Especially when the slanted BB Manager says nothing beyond H3 and ME for the 360.. I know you guys only make $8 or something an hour and you are probably still in HS, but that is some very uneducated fanboy bullcrap your spewing there.
Alan Wake is just one of many I'm looking forward too past H3 and ME.
On Topic: I will be purchasing this game and I think it should be good. Killer app or sy...
I loved the first one.. I've never been into the whole gangsta crap, but for some reason this game pulled me in. Yes it has some glitches that were never really patched but I'm looking forward to SR2.
I think they should of kept it on the 360 as an exclusive. Sony folks with simply write it off as some poor GTA clone, while I loved this game way more than GTA.
So the game is near completion but all they can show is more concept art?
The only thing we've seen is a tech demo and nothing that resembles gameplay..
I'm thinking this is either BS, or this game is not looking or living up to the expectations so they are going to show very little of the game and expect people to buy it because it has the Star Wars name on it.
I've been looking forward to this game so hopefully we see some gameplay.
and will be picking this bad boy up for sure. I'm so glad they went back and re-did things.
@Elite - Agreed, finished Bioshock and is an excellent title.
If you can't link to the proper source than it should of not been approved.
Also, that little punk Nasim will post his worthless dribble on just about every post but he is not even posting a comment on his own article when people are calling foul.. It's a shame you can't vote people off this site completely.. This is the last person in the world I'd like to see have posting privledges and approval privledges..
Something must of really set you off.. I'm getting the feeling you are going to start throwing out racial slurs at any minute.
Yet you will all pay NCSoft to play their MMO's?
On Xbox Live you can pay nothing for Live and then just pay for an MMO just like with PSN.
I agree there needs to be more value with being an paying Xbox Live Gold customer but that's very off-topic. I believe the freedom he is referring too is the open infrastructure that Sony uses.
