MS: Technology in unannounced 360 exclusives will 'far surpass' anything to date

Nobody is credited with the quote. Plus when has MS EVER "congratulated" the competition on the success of a game, especially with that game only being a few days old? I don't remember them congratulating MGS4 like this. I call BS.bez2083

[QUOTE="darthogre"] Buy your point was they have "projects in the pipeline". That's not the same thing as "they are reviewing which game to buy off". When you say they have projects you make it seem like they are still making the games......which is technically not really possible anymore. It could be that is the best stratedgy in the long run....MS doesn't take the majority of the risk in developing the game while Sony is jsut pumping out money hand over fist making their own games. Who ends up being right, it'll be intresting.thinicer

You guys really need to get with the program. Games developed for the X360 have the greatest attach rate by a good margin and the console is easier to develop for. Developers would be stupid not to target games for M$. Are we thinking that developers have all of a sudden stopped developing games for it? Are the lazy devs too rich and don't want the money now? M$ is just being strategic and announcing games when it counts rather than randomly. If i were doing marketing for M$, I would have announcements ready close to the PS3 price drop. It doesn't make sense to announce bigger announcements because today is March 2.lhughey

What's up? Did MS send some people to Sony's academy of hype technical school?Riverwolf007

Hmmm, smells like BS to me! If they had a track record for cutting edge exclusives then it'd be easier to buy this story... but they have not shown any signs of catching up with Sony's machine graphically... so I find this pretty hard to believe. Especially considering that they depend so heavily on 3rd party devs for their exclusives.haze_blaze

What's the point of posting this? Companies say BS like this all the time. I still remember back in the day when Atari was trying to claim that the Jaguar was more powerful then the Playstation and Saturn . . . LOL, when in reality the Jaguar was considerably LESS powerful.AppleBlade

You dont need to go that far! I remember sony claiming that PS3 was a lot more powerfull than the 360. At the end they are about the same...

Anyway,lets see what they are preparing. Im a bit curious about this ;)

The problem is, Killzone 2 won't be PS3's bestest looking game at the end of 2009. So, way to set the bar high MS.PoppaGamer

I was really impressed with the most recent trailer for God of War 3. Not sure if the 360 can surpass that. But I do wonder if any of these upcoming games will be shown at the GDC that is coming at the end of this month.jimmyand360

from what I've been reading at Turn 10's site, Forza 3 will blow us away in the visuals department. :)...I can not wait to see just what they and the rest of the up coming 360 exclusives have in store for us.Nedemis

I wonder when these unannounced games will be shown, maybe GDC. I'm sure they will far surpass Killzone 2, just wait.Floppy_Jim

That's a nice bit of ownage right there. :lol:

[QUOTE="ToScA-"][QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"] Forza 2 look liked garbage..:| Anyhow, since 360 has a better GPU i see it competing in graphics, but in all other areas PS3 has it beat. KZ2 has proven this, lighting, animation, textures,physics.Adrian_Cloud

You disagree on the developer's claims on the game's visuals despite having not seen the game yourself. Well, that's an interesting take I must say.

Can't quite recall Turn 10 boasting Forza 2's visuals either.

"We congratulate Sony and Guerilla Games for their efforts with Killzone 2, however this is only the beginning of a new wave. The current technology employed for certain unannounced Xbox 360 exclusives far surpasses what gamers have seen in any game so far. Gears of War was the beginning of this technological benchmark when released on the 360 and this lineage will be carried forward in the following months with exclusives that shall stand for a new definition of gaming experience and provide stiff competition for the opposition."

Killzone 2 and Crysis going to get owned.

That was quite amusing, thank you. :lol:

[QUOTE="DAZZER7"]Killzone 2 is a maybe. Crysis, no! There is simply no way for the 360 hardware to match Crysis running at Very High on a GTX 295 or 4870x2 with 4GB Ram and DX10. Sonic_on_crack

As someone who owns Killzone 2, I assure you Lost Planet 2 is not as good looking.

[QUOTE="Uptown"]

[QUOTE="Sonic_on_crack"] Killzone 2 isnt a maybe, the game is probably coming out a full year later @ the earliest. Lost Planet Already looks as good as Killzone if not better. To think that Killzone will still be the best looking console game a year from now is nothing short of dumb + 15 3picuri3

The only people thinking it looked better are lemmings who are hoping its exclusive because it hasnt been announced for the PS3 yet. ;)

Why does always have to be about technology? I couldn't care less if graphics are better than KZ2, as long as the game plays well...SMR-Venom

Well...thats why we have Halo3, Forza2, Ninja Gaiden2, Left4Dead and others. All of they pud gameplay over graphics...

I think only Gears 1 and 2 were on the graphics race. Its time to start thinking on another one ;)

Personally, I'd be impressed if MS makes a graphic intensive game w/o pop-in, never mind "far surpass".

I know they got some stuff cooking but I really cant see a massive game coming from a no-name developer wowing us all. Most of the big name developers are all accounted for with games announced. I could be wrong *shrug*

Will huxley finally show it's face? hrmmm

Side note: Specifically mentioning KZ2 sound like PR DC to me. The same would be true for any company addressing the competitor.

No. I agree that Killzone2 looks better than any 360 exclusive but imo Gears2 is on pair with Uncharted and MGS4. Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain are not out yet so you know about their graphics as much as i know about Alan Wake and Lost Planet 2 graphics.

btw, im only curious about this because MS dont use to lie about their games and their capabilities. On the other hand this ms claims look like an over reaction after the KZ2 graphics success. Lets "just wait" :P

:lol: "far surpass"? i'll believe it wen i see it. so for the moment i'll just enjoy that Killzone 2 is the console graphics king. idontbeliveit

I know these things are opinions, but having played both....KZ2 wipes the floor with RE5 graphically. RE5 is only aesthetically pleasing because of its clean look and great AA. The animations, enemy characters etc dont even come close to kz2's...nor does the amount of things going on simultaneously on the screen. Lightning, explosions, dust blowing in the wind, ships flying overhead, teammates and opponents trying to flank each other, grenades, wires blowing in the wind etc all at once is truly a sight to behold

[QUOTE="3picuri3"][QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"]MS is starting to sound like Sony.II_Seraphim_II

This. Banjo, Gears 2, Perfect Dark, Lost Odyssey etc were all far more disappointing than KZ2/LBP/R2 in terms of hype to expectations. Gears 2 came the closest, but the broken online play did it for me. Your first game shouldnt have better online play than your 2nd game.

I hope its a Halo RPGSonic_on_crack
