How many multiplat games do you think MS will show at E3

Pretty much every year MS shows a ton of multiplats and pretend they are exclusive, and this year is particularly weak in terms of exclusives and it seems child of eden (A tripy looking simple rail shooter) is the best they can do with kinect in terms of advertising so it stands to reason they will be showing alot of multiplats, I'm guessing 4 or 5 what do you think

I expect their announced game line-up to be roughly 70% Kinect games, 28% multiplats, and 2% non-Kinect exclusives.

They were pretty good about showing exclusives last year, IIRC. Keep in mind that it's a MS event and not a 360 event, meaning the games shown may well be on both the 360 and the PC. JAB991

Forgot about that so they might show XCOM aswell

I dont understand how showing multiplats is pretending they are exclusive? I never once heard them say "these are exclusive to the 360, by the definition of SW".cainetao11

They will show MGS rising i'll tell you that lol.

And COD lol.TheGuardian03

Kinect Compatible does NOT equal Kinect required.
Kinect Compatible does NOT equal Kinect required.
Kinect Compatible does NOT equal Kinect required.

MS has the three new Kinect Compatible IP's that might be shown off in Project Draco, Codename D, and Haunt.

They might have Steel Battalion to show off.

They're going to need to spotlight Gears and Forza.

They might have Halo:CE remake to show off.

They might have Rise of Nightmares to show off.

They might have Codename Kingdoms to show off.

On top of those nine exclusives I've no idea how many multi-plats MS will show. Since those 9 are only the one's we know about and there will certainly be several games we don't know about yet and presumably 1-2 of those will be exclusive, that might leave enough time for 5-6 other games (or more depending on how they organize their show) that are multi-plat to highlight.

If FFvs.13 goes multi-plat they might well promote it to make sure people know its on the 360 too as they did with GTAIV, MGS:R, and FF13.

The rest depends on what they bring to the table. If they're a multi-plat far along on Kinect implementation they might be included to show off that capability (just like MS did with Child of Eden and Sony did for Move with the multi-plat Tiger Woods. If they offer exclusive content (just like MS did with CoD DLC and Sony did with the multi-plat Portal 2 and its Steam integration or Sony did with Dead Space 2 and extraction) they might be spotlighted for that reason.

Again were NG2, Bioshock, ME2 on the PS3 at the time MS announced them at E3? And I never heard Sony or Ninty say, "also on the 360" at their press events. You expect these companies to market for the others?cainetao11

Dead Space 2
Portal 2
Tiger Woods 2011

All in last year's Sony presentation, all on 360.

Again why would they spend millions marketing the game for Sony or Nintendo? And Sony did not say those games were available on the 360 at their press event. It's the same thing, you just like Sony, hate MS, so it's not wrong somehow.cainetao11

[QUOTE="cainetao11"][QUOTE="momentum_god"] No it's not the same, MS goes out of their way to avoid saying things that might suggest it's on ps3, Sony doesn't and Sony doesn't pay to advertise multiplats and keep 360s logo out of it momentum_god

Showing me a normal ad for Batman AA or LA Noire, then in the last two seconds slipping a blurb about a piece of content and ending with "only on PS3" without being clear you were talking about just that last bit, not the whole commercial or the game itself.

You're OK with that one though, eh?

[QUOTE="momentum_god"][QUOTE="cainetao11"] Dude what are you talking about, "goes out of their way"? And why cant you only put your logo on an ad you paid for? Basically it's the strategy MS uses that you dont like, is that it? Well it's working, so why change it? To please you?Seiki_sands

[QUOTE="momentum_god"][QUOTE="sts106mat"] most of the multiplats they do show might as well be exclusives, since they generally perform better on 360, have larger, longer lasting online communities on 360 and sell better on 360 too. why dont you make a thread entitled "how many more TrXXXXXX threads can i make?"sts106mat

[QUOTE="sts106mat"][QUOTE="momentum_god"] Only they are completely playable in full on ps3 with minor unnoticeable differences and of course they sell better on 360 when MS showcases them at E3 and act like it's not on ps3, so no the might as well be thing is pure bull, I can play the games in full on my ps3 and I won't even notice whatever minor differences people whine about after using tools to even detect them momentum_god

They will show MGS rising i'll tell you that lol.

TheGuardian03

50% Kinect 25% multiplats probably Fallout and COD 25% exclusives Gears, Forza (lame) and Kingdoms, Maybe they'll announce real exclusives but I doubt it they only announced kingdoms last year.BigBoss255

How are Kinect exclusives not "real exclusives"

Project Draco is being made by some of the people behind the Panzer Dragoon series and Phantom Dust.
Codename D is being made by the makers of Killer 7 and No More Heroes
Haunt is being made by the maker of PaRappa the Rapper and Vib-Ribbon and thus the person commonly credited as founding the music/rhythm genre.
Steel Battalion is being made From Software, makers of Chromehounds, Armored Core, Otogi, Demons Souls, and a bunch of other stuff.
Rise of Nightmares is a M-Rated first person horror from the House of the Dead team.
Codename Kindoms is being made by the makers of Far Cry and Crysis

Gamespot still lists all of those games as Kinect Compatible, not Kinect Required, meaning you can play them with a controller. Personally, I think GS may be a little premature in some of those cases as we know very little about the games, but its silly to discount half a dozen exclusives from proven developers on the off chance they may be Kinect Only titles.

All we hear for years is how MS doesn't support new IP, now six of the nine upcoming exclusives are new IPs, all from proven developers, and people ignore them over and over and over and over again. I suppose its because so little has been shown so far, but we're not talking about what people are looking forward to, we are talking about what MS will show and there's no reason to belittle these games.
