dayum.
2010 looks to be awesome on the 360.

oh wait... it already is.
Thanks to Mass effect2.

feelintheflow5196d ago

I hope its not something stupid. Gears 3 would be awesome, but I don't see that happening. Maybe a new IP that would be cool.

JokesOnYou5195d ago

Micro has started the year off great....everything seems to be coming together quite nicely, so many announcements and big news for us gamers, keep it coming micro 2010 is going to be a helluva year for 360. ME2 is amazing, I got to get some sleep now, tommorrow evening I'll be back at it.

is "final fantasy xii" a typo?

Another One5196d ago

Maybe we get some game play footage out of this little event.

Fanb0y5196d ago

Well, Feb would be about the perfect timeframe to show off some gameplay and multiplayer details - considering that the beta comes out in April.

SilentNegotiator5196d ago

And people will be disappointed that it isn't playing in 1080p with 16xAA like in the "In-engine" (AKA being rendered on computers) screenshots.

I'm sure it will be fun, but the delusional following this game gets, I swear...

JANF5195d ago

I haven't seen anyone in here saying the game will play in 1080p and with 16xAA, the only ones b@tching about it are PS3 fans. There is excitement on how the screenshot look, apparently Halo is not your game, that's all.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion473d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad474d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90474d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183474d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90474d ago (Edited 474d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde473d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90473d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde473d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator473d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13473d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183473d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken558d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar558d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos558d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP558d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken558d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149558d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE558d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341558d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90558d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos558d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90558d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai558d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
