360 hasn't even released a game this year to be reviewed(lol) so that really is a poor example.

I'm not talking about this year alone. But yeah, this year it only has 3 upcoming AAAAE's(Gears 3, Forza 4 and The Gunstringer).

Gears of War 3-AAA

Forza 4-AAA

Halo Anniversary-AAA

Dance Central 2-AAA

Rise of Nightmares-AA

Kinect Sports 2-AA

Gunstringer-possible AAA

Disneyland Adventures-A

And there's all the multiplats.It looks like a pretty good line-up.

I would add Witcher 2, that technically is not exclusive, but PS3 and Wii dont get it, while 360 will get it this holiday and is a really really huge game

Also Bastion is a grand RPG and until it comes to PC later in 2011, is only to be found on 360 too, i have a real blast with it

Also add Trenched and Half Minute Hero Mega Neo, both great games

I am playing 360 non stop this year and the biggest games are not even out yet

it's "literally" not an exclusive.

Technically, none of those Kinect games are 360 exclusive either.

Gears 3 and Forza 4 are the only ones that matter and they are AAA on lock. Halo Anniversary, it's a remake, so who knows.

How can kinect games count as just pure 360 exclusives? I mean I have a 360 but I can't play the kinect only games, shouldn't the 360 exclusives only take a 360 to play not a $150 addon? Same thing with move games, maybe a sub category for kinect an move games.

because they're 360 exclusives? just because you need a seperate peripheral to play them doesn't change that.

I suppose it's a slightly greay area. Feel free to disagree but they're arguably not 360 exclusive because a 360 can't play them.

Besides, MS markets Kinect as a system themselves.

you can't play them without the 360 either but the 360 is capable of playing games without kinect. therefore, kinect is a peripheral and there's no reason not to treat them with the same rights and priveleges as any other game.

It's not capable of playing Kinect games without Kinect, therefore Kinect games can't be 360 exclusive. Considering how MS wants us to perceive it as a system in itself, this is a borderline case at best/worst.

Very minor technicality, I'm sure you agree.

Gears 3 and Fourza are the only ones in the running for AAA. your grasping at straws this badly doesn't help our opinions of the 360's sinking lineup

you can't play standard 360 games without a 360 controller so there must not be any 360 exclusives then? same thing, dude. it's a peripheral device.

360 has enough exclusives to keep me busy for 2011. Coupled with the multiplats I plan on buying, I'm gonna be losing a lot of time to my 360.

Technically you're correct dude, everything is exclusive to a long list of specific atoms, if you really want to nitpick.

Kinect costs almost as much as the 360 itself, is marketed as a gaming system and intended to be perceived as such by MS. I'd hardly compare it to purchasing a new controller but you're welcome to disagree.

I don't really care to be honest, so lets just end it the discussion here ;)

Apologies, The Quick Quote button ate my message, making it look blank.

Anyway, I personally see Dance Central 2 as potential AAA, but on the pedigree of the developer alone, and only with the inclusion of a substantial ammount of improvements. Forza and Gears 3 are also locks for AAA, and Rise of Nightmarehas potential but is the biggest long shot on here. The others are all AA at best.

In NO WAY does MS market Kinect as "its own system". The product is marketed as a new way to control your games ("you are the controller"), more specifically, your Xbox 360 games as every ad states. Like Casey said several times, it's a peripheral that still requires the 360 main unit to operate. Nobody can buy the $150 device by itself, take it home and start playing the games.

This really is a stretch in logic to say they're not 360 exclusive, regardless of how anyone may feel about their quality.

But he applied the same principal to the Move games saying those don't really count. Honestly it seems to be 360 that try to throw in a bunch of Kinect games, whereas you almost NEVER see people adding Move games to fluff up their lists of exclusives. For the most part it isn't as if people on here really care about most of these motion games anyway. There are just so few "good" ones...

It does seem to be a "grey area" to me. The other guy said, "well you need a controller to play any game, I guess that doesn't count". The difference is a controller comes standard with the system, it doesn't require a $150 addon!!! It would be different if it were a truly big budget AAA game perhaps, but most of these games get reviewed at entirely different standards. They seem to be held to the same standards as arcade games since most seem to be low budget, almost shovelware type games...

It's marketed as such in may ways, although not in the strict sense of a phrase such as "its own system".

Marketing is'nt just about litteral interpretation however, and it's abundantly clear that we're supposed to perceive Kinect as a seperate entity and an evolved gaming experience. They're selling us the idea of VR here.

Regardless, you're entitled to your opinion. I don't exactly keep such a topic close to heart so I'll leave it at that.

Depends, does anything (besides virtual console) REQUIRE classic controller??? If so that would seem to be another "grey area", but considering a classic controller is very cheap (or even bundled with some games), that seems to be very different from the $150 Kinect or Move which are just about as expensive as the Wii itself.

yes, but i'm including the "old 360 games/games that came out before the ps3" excuses in with that. that one is not reciprocal.

controllers that come standard with and controllers that are sold seperately are not determining factors of whether or not a game counts. it's the system that plays them. the 360 is the system...kinect is the "controller".

Technically you're correct dude, everything is exclusive to a long list of specific atoms, if you really want to nitpick.

Kinect costs almost as much as the 360 itself, is marketed as a gaming system and intended to be perceived as such by MS. I'd hardly compare it to purchasing a new controller but you're welcome to disagree.

I don't really care to be honest, so lets just end it the discussion here ;)

Filthybastrd

In NO WAY does MS market Kinect as "its own system". The product is marketed as a new way to control your games ("you are the controller"), more specifically, your Xbox 360 games as every ad states. Like Casey said several times, it's a peripheral that still requires the 360 main unit to operate. Nobody can buy the $150 device by itself, take it home and start playing the games.

This really is a stretch in logic to say they're not 360 exclusive, regardless of how anyone may feel about their quality.

It's marketed as such in may ways, although not in the strict sense of a phrase such as "its own system".

Marketing is'nt just about litteral interpretation however, and it's abundantly clear that we're supposed to perceive Kinect as a seperate entity and an evolved gaming experience. They're selling us the idea of VR here.

Regardless, you're entitled to your opinion. I don't exactly keep such a topic close to heart so I'll leave it at that.

no. it is not marketed in such a way. it's marketed as a new way to play the 360. this is not opinion.

Don't know about the PC, but the PS3 is far from 30+ exclusives.

bigboss5ak

I think people know by now that the 360 does have exclusives, just not as many as PS3.

Hell, I may be a cow but all you really had to do to get your point across was list Gears and Forza dude. But your really listing shovelware games nobody has even heard of. Really? Gunslinger? :lol: Ive never even heard of that before entering this thread.

And how many of those ps3 exclusives are worth listing?? KZ3 already flopped socom flopped and infamous flopped. Aside from uc3 and possibly resistsance (though that may flop as well) most if not all these ps3 exclusives are overrated.

They all scored A and higher here. Ps3 has two A games, 4 AA, and 1 AAA. All worth mentioning. And that's going by the silly mentality here that GS scores only matter.

What 360 exclusives so far this year are worth mentioning? Go ahead, I'll wait.

Hey just think of it this way, MS is doing us a favor and saving us money. It's obvious nobody likes those pesky exclusives, everyone lives in candy land and only plays/enjoys multi plat games. I know I sure do.

it is not marketed as its own system. the commercials still show that it's for the 360. it's a peripheral. the extent that people go to to make 360 games not count never ceases to amaze.

CaseyWegner

But he applied the same principal to the Move games saying those don't really count. Honestly it seems to be 360 that try to throw in a bunch of Kinect games, whereas you almost NEVER see people adding Move games to fluff up their lists of exclusives. For the most part it isn't as if people on here really care about most of these motion games anyway. There are just so few "good" ones...

It does seem to be a "grey area" to me. The other guy said, "well you need a controller to play any game, I guess that doesn't count". The difference is a controller comes standard with the system, it doesn't require a $150 addon!!! It would be different if it were a truly big budget AAA game perhaps, but most of these games get reviewed at entirely different standards. They seem to be held to the same standards as arcade games since most seem to be low budget, almost shovelware type games...

yes, but i'm including the "old 360 games/games that came out before the ps3" excuses in with that. that one is not reciprocal.

controllers that come standard with and controllers that are sold seperately are not determining factors of whether or not a game counts. it's the system that plays them. the 360 is the system...kinect is the "controller".

I'm not sure what this means as I'm not familiar. I've seen people talking about an official "spreadsheet" and I assume you are the guy that manages it. I really don't even know where it's posted though.

In either case, I don't see how the bolded text would even relate to Kinect/Move. I'm just saying it seems to be a "grey area', that it COULD be a subcategory. I'm not telling you how to look at it, I'm just saying that's one way to look at it. Frankly for me whether it's included or not, it's still funny to see lists fluffed up with Seasame Street, Disney, Gunslinger, etc...

do games that require the Wii's classic controller not count?

Depends, does anything (besides virtual console) REQUIRE classic controller??? If so that would seem to be another "grey area", but considering a classic controller is very cheap (or even bundled with some games), that seems to be very different from the $150 Kinect or Move which are just about as expensive as the Wii itself.

do we really need to keep making up 'grey areas' (especially seeing asthough its seemingly just to reduce the 360s list of exclusives as usual)?

if we're going to start talking about additional hardware you need to play certain games, then we'd probably spend forever categorizing PC exclusives according to the minimal spec PC you need to run them. is it really worth it? or are you doing it purely in an attempt to remove a few games from the 360s list and don't care about doing the same with any other platforms?

it was moreof a side comment related to what was being done. the other reason i mentioned doesn't relate to this.

it's really not a gray area. kinect is just a peripheral device. the game is still a 360 game. the dvd goes into the 360...not the kinect. if they are retail games then they count as much as any other retail game.

2011 as a whole has been lacking for the 360. However, their 2nd half of this year is pretty good. Gears and Forza are more than enough for me.

Saying Kinect games dont count is like saying no games count. I need a tv to play consoles. I need specific hardware upgrades and a monitor to play PC games. Should we also count services as seperate entities as well? Do Steam exclusives only count for Steam, and not the PC? I swear, cows will do anything they can to discount the 360. Yes, there aren't a lot of exclusives coming out for the 360 this year. So what? The ones that are coming out will be quality titles (Gears and Forza). Peoples attitudes about this whole system wars things are what keep me on the fence about buying another PS3. I understand what the point of system wars is but people can't even come up with valid arguments anymore. I feel like I'm on a elementary school playground sometimes when I get on here.

Kinect games count, but it just shows the desperation of the lineup. So basically its the new "Big 3" for Microsoft (Halo, Forza, Gears) and Kinect games. For people that dont have Kinect, thats paltry considering we are nearing August and 360 has yet to release a major exclusive title for 2011. For those that like Kinect, I guess thats something to look forward to
