The new face of Xbox :D

sts106mat

And that's a terrible argument too. I wish the game was on PS3, personally, because I have a 2 year old who would love it (she just saw the pic as I was typing this and climbed in my lap saying "Elmo! Cookie Monster!"). Having a good game aimed at someone other than you is not a bad thing. Sesame Street CAN co-exist with Gears. Just like Eyepet can co-exist with God of War. You guys need to LEAVE COOKIE MONSTER ALONE!!!

funnily enough i was listening to Major Nelson podcast this very morning on my way to work. they had an interview with Tim Schafer and one of the devs who worked on brutal legend and Once upon a monster. As a kids game, this does actually sound really well done.

They were saying that they were checking the game out and one of the older folks asked "if in the mind of a three year old, who waves at elmo on screen and have elmo wave back etc is it like magic?" they then said that "no, to the three year old, infront of the screen, that could be completely logical"

Imagine being a little kid today, interacting in that sort of way with characters on the TV! when i was a kid, this sort of stuff was fantasy. I remember thinking it was great, when that "Pob" puppet, would come blow on the camera and appear to wipe it off the TV

Totally. I mean, I might make fun of Kinect, and laugh at the casualization... and make fun of games that are obviously cheaply made shovelware (note: wii and move have the same things as well, though its arguable that MS is focusing MORE on them atm than Sony is), BUT it blows my mind when people specifically choose THIS game as the poster child to make fun of it. Once Upon a Monster looks great. It's about time a talented studio put in the effort to make a quality game for kids. Most games for little kids are garbage. Using a BAD game for kids to make fun of kinect being nothing but crappy kid games would make a lot more sense than using what looks like a FANTASTIC game for kids.

Also, when I'm staying home with my daughter, I watch a lot of kids shows on PBS and the like. Most of these shows nowadays try to involve the kids, asking questions and pausing for the kids to answer, stuff like that. So yeah, I agree, seems like a logical step from kids perspective to have the game wave back and interact with them.

I think its safe to say that we wont see a new console until long after Halo 4 comes out for the 360. If they were planning on releasing it soon after Halo 4, they would have made Halo 4 a launch title. That's their flagship franchise. In fact I'm kinda suprised that they didn't just wait until 2013 to release Halo 4 with their new console. That's not to say that there won't be backwards compatibility.

my not having a PS3 is irrelevant, you dont have XBL Gold, yet it is all you ever talk about!You accused me of only hyping exclusives and that then i did an about face and started saying only multiplats matter. So i provided you with links to a minimum of four threads from early 2011 with me hyping Batman and skyrim on numerous occasions. In one of those links i even said Gears 3 was lower on my radar than batman and skyrim. I completely demolished your comment against me there, AND YET YOU STILL WONT ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT ME. WHY? not my fault you cannot admit it when you are proven 100% wrong.sts106mat
It sure is when you trow mud on some PS3 games that you haven't even play. I did pay for xbox live i don't know. And the rest of your argument is silly,but i guess is my fault when i say xbox 360 fans,since your one.

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] not really understanding your maths there ian. He means that a high percentage of xbox gamers are big fans of Halo / COD / TES / Mass Effect. Doesn't mean the 95% of the users are fans of EVERY ONE of those franchises.

sts106mat

Fair enough. But the overlap between games like Gears and Halo is pretty big. Even games like TES. (Example: You). I'm just saying, if "95% of 360 users are huge fans of core games like Gears, Forza, TES, Mass Effect an so on" then surely even one of those games would break 20% attach? I guess Halo 3 did... but so did Kinect Adventures. So saying 95% of 360 users are fans of casual kinect party/mini games is just as valid, right?

i agree with your idea in principal, i am a typical Gears/Halo/ME/TES fan, and i do enjoy them all, so the numbers dont really add up the way he is saying. Kinect adventures was bundled with every single kinect unit, i dont think it counts really.

That's a fair point too. Honestly, I didn't know KA was bundled with ALL Kinects. Still holds that Kinect selling as much/more than any of those core games puts a serious dent in the "95% of 360 users are core gamers," at the very least it is just as fair to say that 95% are casual gamers.

Why is this thread even in system wars? It deals solely with the xbox right? It being here was clearly going to turn into an argument.

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] More accusations, would you provide me examples of "me throwing mud on ps3 games" because i dont think you will be successful at that either. perhaps you should just admit you were wrong and we can move along.

No you never say anything bad about a PS3.OK dude. My bad it was me making all those thing about you sorry.

It honestly does sound like its going to be a hit, would you believe it runs on the same engine as brutal legend? weird. Also the disneyland game, i know again, its for kids, but the preview in one of the mags i read, sounds like it will be another cool game for the young ones. they can go around the park, meet all the characters in dress up etc. only bad thing IMO is that you control an on screen avatar, but that it is not XBLavatar integration, which sounds like a massive missed opportunity to me. Kinect adventures had it, why not this game? Pity its not disneyworld as i love it there in florida, and know my way around all the parks, but never been to disneyland. oh well, perhaps a sequel....

I'm not as keen on the Disney one. I guess to me, the whole point of the parks is for kids to get to feel like they are in the movies... To me, having the game be a virtual version of the park is kind of missing the point... You have the tech to just virtually immerse them in the movie worlds... instead, you virtually immerse them in a park that is trying to give them the feeling of being in the movies' worlds... It's like a game where instead of playing the character... you are playing a gamer who is playing a character in a game inside the game that you are playing... I dunno. Haven't been following it, that's just what my initial reaction to the idea was.

It makes me sad Microsoft that you are so lame and inept you had to cut out almost all exclusive acquisition, 1st party...etc just to concentrate on your new system....Fine release a new system but what you've done is basically tenamount to what you did with the original xbox dropped it completely once your new system was in the wings.

tormentos

why would you not want last gen dev dropped when the new system is here?

all you have to do is look at the first 2.5 years of the ps3s library to see what a terrible idea it is to let devs choose to make old games and more money as opposed to dragging them kicking and screaming into next gen development.

J-dev would hardly touch the ps3 in the early days because why would you when all the money was in making ps2 games?

how many jrpgs did the ps3 have for the first 3 years? any?

killing off last gen development on the original xbox was one of the smartest things ms did the entire gen.

if ms drops the 360 like a bad habit and focuses on nextbox games i would be extremely happy.

It had nothing to do with that,there were many changes from last gen to this gen,and from the one of the PS1 to the PS2 one. Now Japanese RPG are not the big thing,now fighting games are not the big thing they once were as well,now shooter are the big thing an Japanese don't do those much,sony did the same thing with the PS1 and PS2,and the PS2 had more games on the making in 1999 that the DC got in all its life time. Sony did not kill the PS1 as soon as the PS2 arrived,and the PS2 in 2001 got,GT3,MGS2,GTA3,FFX,Devil May cry and many more games all exclusives,if your point was even close to be true the PS2 would not have get this level of quality release 1 year after the PS2 was launch,because developer were still making huge money on the PS1. They kill the xbox because it was bleeding them money,and the xbox 360 would also bleed then money as well on launch,so having 2 wounds open at the same time wasn't a good business,so they did not care for people who bough that console on 2004 and 2005 and just kill it. The xbox 360 is already 6 years old and still alive,how funny isn't when they kill the original xbox in 4 years,but the xbox 360 is not letting them any losses is making tons of profits,and the difference is quite easy to see,MS doesn't even want to talk about new hardware screw 360 fans,lets milk the 360 hardware until the end of time,now if they only would have think that way with the original xbox.

lol, your ideas are so dominated by disliking ms and the 360 that this whole thing is just a confused disjointed mess.

i dare anyone to untangle this and make it into an idea that makes any sort of sense.

seriously i read it like 3 times and there is nothing in there at all that you can get any sort of rational coherent answer to what i was talking about.

i literally feel sorry for what the sw has done to your mind.

i'm thinking of opening a sw post traumatic stress disorder clinic now because i see a need that should be filled for the good of mankind.

[QUOTE="Heil68"]All focused around Kinect/casual I'm guessing. Ravensmash
Lets hope so. MS need to focus on the true representation of gaming, not this internet fraud .

The "true representation of gaming" is where ever the largest % of their revenue comes from...it may not be where you think it is. Teh uber hardc0re gam0rz may very well be found to be a minority.

.... BUT it worked!! though I feel the same which is why it has taken me a while just go get the console PEOPLE lined up and bought Xbox 360 even though MS dumped them like an ugly date at a beauty contest. And MS does not need to spend as much money since they made a TON of cash $$$$ from their base with Live.

So I see people lining up again saying its been 7 years!! far longer than how long Xbox was out before Xbox 360 came out.

*coughs* we'll just ignore the fact that by every outlet availble metacritic, gamerankings, gamespot alone the 360 still has a higher variety of games in its line up.

WilliamRLBaker

The problem is you can play all this "variety" on a PC.

Halo /is/ the 360.

The PS3 did not had a shortage of RPG's or games because sony refuse to kill the PS2. The xbox was kill because MS wanted to stop the losses,because another new system with new losses would release. MS loss 4 billion on the original xbox,there never was a cent of profits it was all losses. The xbox 360 on the launch windows loss MS 1.26 billion by 2006,on july 2007 they post another big loss it was 1.9 billions thanks to the 1 billion for the 3 year warranty. In other words MS killed the xbox because 4 billion in losses in 4 years was enough for them,the xbox would have never make a profit for them in the way it was done. And thanks for the personal attack,it happen every time i prove some one wrong.
