360 2008 BIG Titles?

[QUOTE="Dylons_Fire"]You can bet your bottom dollar it's a shooter.Dylons_Fire

360 has so many none FPS it isnt even funny.

Mass Effect you have a gun but it is like a KOTOR RPG but with even a bigger role way better acton with still having all the customizations.

I agree you guys have a lot of games, but only your great ones are shooters. No one buys a Xbox360 to NOT play shooters.

AAA Forza2 just proved you wrong.!

and yes, I bought my360 to play shooters,racers,rpgs, and AAA games, thanks for your concern!

Oh, and to add to my last post, Fable 2 and Mass Effect I have a feeling will be better than FF 13.soldier-dark

I don't get these threads. The PS3 may have a better 08 lineup. The Wii may have a better 08 lineup. The 360 may have a better 08 lineup.

What I don't understand is why you don't factor in the 360 already has games, tons of them. Yet the 360 STILL manages to have an equal 08 lineup.

killzone 2 is the most immersive fps shooter ever? :lol: compare this to crysis, bioshock, project offset and tell me this game is more immersive. Your making yourself look like a fool

now excuse me while i go back to playing my AAA exclusive 9.5 game that just recently released. Itsa shame that the ps3 doesnt have any of these

TClms5400

you mean your overrated 640p game? go ahead, already finished it, nothing special at all. Killzone 2 will be a better game and will run at 720p trust me on this one. ;)

How is it overrated? Please elaborate.

Then proceed to explain why you think Killzone 2 will be the better game, and why resolution has anything to do with how great a game is.

nowakawon

sure, in terms of new IPs the two systems might be equal or one might do slightly or far better. Those are things you can't predict.

However, the PS3 has an extensive list of exclusives from established franchises that will be coming in 08 or 09. The 360 does not. These franchises are as close to sure-things as there are when it comes to releasing new games. They've proved their quality through numerous releases.

MGS

FF

GT

SOCOM

TEKKEN 6

etc.

[QUOTE="soldier-dark"] Killzone 2 is a sequel to a poorly rated game, don't get it all hyped up like the last one just because of graphics. And Final Fantasy is overrated, don't expect a 13th game of a series to be amazing, I have no faith in any of the new Final Fantasy games this gen excepts for the Tactics 2.agentfred

FF's decline is a myth. FF12 was AAA, and often considered the best in the series by myself and many others.

New FF games = fail.

They couldn't drag my old *** through 15 hours of 12, they need to look back to their roots.

Strange I own a 360 and I'm not a big fan of shooters (at least not FPS, tactical shooters are ok). One of my buddies owns a 360 and he doesn't play shooters at all because they make him naseous. But hey, maybe we are anomolies.

What about Alan Wake?testament1

Alan Wake looks like it could be an amazing game, I am keeping a close eye on updates for it. Also, I think Halo Wars is scheduled as an 08 release.

lol, I thought the title said something else at first :lol:.jack_russel

In essence, each new game in the series is a new IP, it just goes by the name FF for obvious marketing purposes. The story shouldn't ever feel boring, because it's new every game, which is alot better than most popular series, which pile on sequel after sequel without any drastic story changes, just a continuation.

Yeah, FFXII was pretty polarizing, it was a love it or hate it experience, and luckily, I loved it. Luckily for you though, 13 seems to be headed back into the series roots of tried and true JRPG fare.

The_Wise_0ne

NG2 andBanjo Threeie are the only BIG titles. Too Human too but it may come in 2009. And please do not mention Alan Wake or any of those other generic games. Multiplats dont count. MGS4 kills Splinter Cell.

That's amajor release every month next year, and does'nt include a shooter.;)

Basically every game made is pretty much a 360 title, which makes it the top system around.

What don't you understand? The 360 has exclusives that are new IPs, but it has very limited exclusives that are proven MS franchises. This is where the PS3 succeeds. Look at the list above.

Read the post next time before commenting, thanks.

Resident Evil 5, SC 4, GTA 4, and Burnout Paradise are not exclusives.

Halo Wars? Friendly reminder that its an RTS, not an FPS. At the moment it looks like a sad attempt to cash in on Halo's popularity. It will have to do something amazing to be considered something other than a C&C clone set in the Halo universe. Will probably get decent sales, because a lot of casuals will buy the game without knowing what it is. OMG? HALO. Must be awesome.

Alan Wake? Or is it Alan Wait? Where is the news on this game? The release date? Beats me, nothing has been mentioned about it in a year? Is it coming out next year? Who knows. Here's a snickers, cause ITS GONNA BE AWHILE.

Fable 2? I hope it succeeds, I really do. A developer full of promises, its going to be a revolutionary game. Sounds a lot like the first one. In fact, it sounds a lot like Killzone 2.

Splinter Cell? I won't comment on this game, because I have an obvious MGS bias.

NavigatorsGhost

Pretty sure he was listing games that aren't shooters (RTSes, for example) in response to the comment he quoted. And, to clear things up here, the Halo franchise actually started out as an RTS (doesn't everybody know that?!) -- making Halo Wars a return to its roots rather than a straight up cash in...not that I'm denying that cashing in has nothing to do with it. Just saying, you're right to expect some shameless cash ins, but Halo Wars will probably actually be a good new franchise.

Alan Wake? Or is it Alan Wait? Where is the news on this game? The release date? Beats me, nothing has been mentioned about it in a year? Is it coming out next year? Who knows. Here's a snickers, cause ITS GONNA BE AWHILE.

NavigatorsGhost

I thought the Snickers was funny, so I quoted that, too. I disagree with your point, however, that because we haven't heard much means the game will be bad. If it looked great a year ago and we still have a year to go, I would call that a good sign. Lots of developers are tight lipped about their games before release...the Killzone devs waited two years to show their game again after E3 '05, and you can bet we won't see any more of GTA4 until next year, for instance. Once again, just sayin....

There is already enough great games coming out next year, but, I mean there are enough good games in the 2006/2007 lineup to keep you satisfied until like 2010

Oh ok, my bad. Anyway, being a fan of RTS games, I hope Halo Wars does well, I'm still playing the original Sudden Strike on my PC! But if it was not a Halo game it wouldn't be getting half the attention its been getting so far.

My point is that I don't think the game is going to be coming out in 08. And despite the developers of KZ2 being tight lipped about it, we still know a decent amount about the game. Alan Wake has 3 trailers and 20 something screenshots (that I know of). It seems like most of its hype is centered around its graphics, which everybody knows, only carries a game so far.

if that were the case they would have delayed there games to 08..

hmm there isnt a shooter imreally going crazy for next year...

Ok, I had a quick look through the 2008 Xbox 360 library, and like 2007's, it's full of quality, in exclusives and multi-plats.

Because they are so important, I'll start with exclusives:

Tom Clancy Air Combat.

- Coming next year and the first in a new series of Tom Clancy based titles. Not much is known, except that it is exclusive to Xbox 360 (only been announced for Xbox 360 so far) and is being developed by Ubisoft Romania, who did Blazing Angels and Silent Hunter 4. Could be a surprise sleeper hit.

Mobile Suit Ops: The One Year War.

- Tagged as an exclusive and for 2008, I don't see this one being huge stateside, but it should be a big game for eastern audiences. Yes, it appears that the Xbox demographic evidenced by the original console has been widening considerably, if a game such as this would choose to go with the 360 only.

Galactic Command: Excalibur

- Another title out of left field which has decided to only go with 360, this is a space combat simulator and is being made by the guys behind the Universal Combat titles.

Rogue Warrior

-Yet another 360 exclusive, and again not from MS themselves. This one comes from Bethesda, the guys behind Oblivion, and also by Zombie, who are known for the Red Ops games. It's a realistic military shooter title.

-It's a Halo game but it's not. It's an RTS set in the Halo universe and it's being developed by the team behind Age of Empires exclusively for the 360. It so far looks really good.

Ninja Gaiden 2.

-The first game was a GOTY contender, and the remake a year later was even better. The true sequel is finally coming, and it's exclusive.

Culdcept Saga.

-A board game that looks really good, exclusive to the Xbox 360 and also coming out in 2008 fir U.S audiences.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction.

- The latest Tom Clancy game, which is by the team that did Chaos Theory, the best in the series. Introduces brand new play mechanics and the first game built up for "next-generation. And only on Xbox 360.

Too Human

-By a legendary development team, this is a game almost 10 years in the planning. This is the first in a planned trilogy, and it looks fantastic. And only on Xbox 360 in 08.

Lost Odyssey.

-The second of 2 RPG's from Mistwalker, the new Japanese team created by some of the most legendary developers around. A more adult RPG than Blue Dragon, this is one of the most wanted RPG's around, and only on XBox 360 in 08.

Fable 2.

-The sequel to a million selling title, 2 years + of work and exclusivity with Microsoft means a lot is being thrown into this title to make it as grand as possible. It looks excellent so far.

Cry On.

-Not given a release fate yet, so 2008 is likely, but hasn't been confirmed. An action RPG, this is being developed in partnership between Mistwalker (Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey), and AQ Interactive (Bullet Witch, Mark Ecko's Getting Up).

Dead or Alive: Code Cronus.

-Not much is known, or even when it will hit, but it is being developed by Team Ninja. Possibly by the team that have now completed Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Code Cronus is being billed as a fighting title, but not exactly Dead or Alive 5.

Alan Wake.

-Made by the team behind the Max Payne titles, Alan Wake is a noir David Fincher style horror adventue, and looks much like Twin Peaks meets Silent Hill. It looks great, it apparently plays well, and is a key title for Microsoft. And its only on Xbox 360 in 08.

Far East of Eden Ziria.

Very little is known about this title, long in development by Hudson. It's announced only on Xbox 360 and is due.... sometime. It's an RPG.

Magna Carta 2.

The sequel to the overlooked but rather good Magna Carta, numero 2 comes only to Xbox 360. Been a while since an update has occured, but is still in development apparently.

Banjo Kazooie 3.

Being made by Rare ground up for 360 development. Forget the woes of the original Rare from Xbox, Xbox 360 development has been nigh on perfect for them, with 4 quality games all out. This is the big title from them for next year.

Dead or Alive 5.

-Didn't see this happening? It's been over 2 years since DOA4, 3 years by the time this one's out. The DOA series has always been solid, and this looks to continue the tradition.

----

I'll stop here.

But this is just the exclusive titles. Most of the major titles are still hitting Xbox360, such as Rock Band, GTA 4, Assassin's Creed and others.

And MS still haven't unleashed everything for this holiday yet. PGR4, Mass Effect, Naruto, Viva Pinata: Party Animals - and those are just the exclusives. Not to mention Halo 3 just came out as well. Don't forget all the cross-platform titles too!

They're really hitting their stride with the Arcade as well - next year sees Rez HD, Exit, HoopWorld, Castle Crashers and more - all exclusive to the Arcade.

Being a 360 owner is a great option now - there are so many games to play, and to play in the coming year at the very least.

The games I'm picking up for the Xbox 360 in 2008 are:

Lost Odyssey - JRPG

Fable 2 - Action RPG

Splinter Cell: Conviction - Stealth

Alan Wake - Action Adventure (Xbox 360/Games for Windows)

Infinite Undiscovery - JRPG

Ninja Gaiden 2 - Action

Banjo Kazooie 3 - Platformer

Too Human - Action Adventure/RPG

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom - Action RPG (Xbox 360/Games for Windows)

Left 4 Dead - Action FPS (Xbox 360/PC)

Those are some of the Xbox 360/PC games that I will be buying next year. 2006 had Gears of War, 2007 had Halo 3, I wonder what Microsoft has in mind for 2008.

Console multiplatform titles I will be buying for the Xbox 360 in 2008:

Devil May Cry 4

Fall Out 3

Grand Theft Auto 4

Alone in the Dark

Condemned 2: Bloodshot

The Last Remnant - (Really looking forward to this game)

Saints Row 2

Silent Hill 5

Soul Calibur IV (If it isn't as bad as III)

(Cry On will not be available in 2008 for NA and the EU. I expect a December release in Japan like always, then an early Q1 2009 release for the rest of the world.)
