Microsoft Acting Like Sony (*wait!*), When Asked About X360 2008 Lineup

There are a ton of AA and AAA 360 games on my "need to play" list that I could probably cruise through the end of 2008 on what is out or releasing in the next 6 weeks for the 360. No, they aren't acting like Sony. If they were, they would be hyping the crap out of a game that won't be out for another 2 years due to delays.

They are kind of doing the opposite of what Sony did which was show a bunch of stuff and not have the game itself on shelves until 3 years later.

I think all 3 games you listed have AAA potential because they are all being designed by great developers. I don't know a whole lot about any of them though so its too soon to hype.

Why didn't he mention Ninja Gaiden 2? Uh oh, what if that's the cancelled game? Nooo!!!!BioShockOwnz

Not first party, but you almost gave me a heart attack.

hehe :P, I'm getting flashbacks regarding how PS2 owners used to respond about what they'll do while waiting for PS3

and announce it as releasing March 2008. 2008 xbox 360 lineup, Ninja Gaiden 2, Banjo three, Fable 2, Too Human, GTA4 exclusive content, and 95% of the pc games worth playing. Honeslty, where do hermits get the arrogant attitiude when 95% of their good games come on 360 day one? Just because they get 360 ports 1-3 years later for some of the best games?

That is what Sony does, only to let down their fans when they all get pushed back. That's when it becomes a waiting game, don't get it twisted.

Here we go...............PAY ATTENTION!!!!!

Supreme Commander, Halo Wars, Command and Conquer 3: Kanes Wrath, Universe at War, World in Conflict, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, Infinite Undiscovery, Fable 2, Dark Messiah, Too Human, Ninja Gaiden 2, Splinter Cell: conviction, Alan Wake, Banjo 3, GTA 4 content, Huxley, Marvel Universe Online, Dead Island, Left 4 Dead, Demons of Mercy, N+, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures,

Thats off the top of my head, I believe the 360 has about 26 exclusives in comparison toPs3's 5 (Little Big Planet, MGS4, GT 5, FF13, Killzone 2)

Have a nice day, youve been served.

I wonder if Sony has any pocket titles in there sleeves or if they have shown all of there good 08 titles, personally I bet they got a few things in the works.Jynxzor

I believe it's Microsoft and Nintendo that have cards up their sleeves.

You think Banjo, Halo Wars and Fable 2 aren't going to be big games? PBSnipes

The last two could be, I don't think Banjo will be though.

Anyway, with Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Alan Wake, Halo Wars, Infinate Undiscovery, Splinter Cell: Convictionand then multiplats like Fallout 3, The Last Remnant, GTA IV, Saints Row 2, Alone in the Dark, Condemned 2, Burnout Paradise, Brothers in Arms,etc, 2008 doesn't look that bad for MS.

Phil Spencer, General Manager, Microsoft Game Studios, UK responding to the claims about Microsoft games lineup for 2008 is weak.

"2008 release schedule is looking a little bare? Not So.

Well there are games announced that are due next year; Fable 2, Banjo, Halo Wars. Those are some big games coming up. There are other games that will come. One of the things we don't want to do now is getting ahead of ourselves and showing games too early.

I don't think we do a service to our games community when we show games which we're not completely sure of what games they are going to be" next-gen.biz

is it just me, or this type of responses also reminds you of how Sony used to (cry "wait!") answer claims that they have nothing to show for 2007?

Or you guys actually believe Fable 2, Banjo, Halo Wars are something to brag about?Mystery_Writer

and you countered that massive amount of games with......oh wait.

I'd like to think so because so far, I don't feel my PS3 purchase has been justified.

I already see alot i want in only the first six months or so of next year. Fable 2, Alan Wake, Halo Wars, Too Human, Lost Odyssey, and so on.

That's enough for me...it's no more or less than any other platforms.

Halo wars will just be a generic rts slapped with the halo brand on top.

Fable 2, meh.

Banjo-Kazooie will not be good like in the N64 days, remember what Rare did with Perfect Dark Zero? That's becuase of them being bought by Microsoft. Besides, there's no way Banjo Kazooie touches 08. Mid-09 at the earliest.

Microsoft just has a horrible 2008, especially compared to the PS3.

Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

But, Judging from your thread from a bit ago, you're about as reliable when it comes to these games as Saddam Husein commenting on the United States.

Oh, btw, do we have flying cars in the future? I've always wanted to know...seeing as you've been there and all...:|

Too bad for you cows those aren't the only three games coming out in 2008 for the 360 and we have no proof yet that any of those three listed are bad.
