GDC is definitely going to be big for Microsoft. Even the head honcho at GDC confirms it to Gameindustrybiz. Expect a lot of megatons from all three companies but especially Microsoft.

"BIZ: You get to hear a lot of big news in advance of the show. Last year you knew about Sony's PlayStation Home and LittleBigPlanet before any of us. Will there be any shocking revelations from Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo? What clues can you give us?

JM: Well James, do you own a 360? [Smiles]

BIZ: What should we expect from Microsoft's John Schappert at his keynote? Why do you think Microsoft chose Schappert (who's new to MS) over Shane Kim or Don Mattrick?

JM: As you alluded to in your previous question, GDC keynotes, both speakers and content, are mutually developed editorial sessions of the GDC. As such, we work with the platforms and other speakers to determine if the speaker and the content are a good fit for the show. Based on the content, John Schappert is exactly the right person to deliver this address."

Lack of games? The 360 is lacking games coming down the pipeline so they have to milk a game showing only tidbits everyday. Nintendo did that with Super Smash bros.

@1.9

"Capcom is a Xbox 360 whore"

No. Capcom is a partner for Microsoft, and they both benefit.

And, I wouldnt be surprised at all. Capcom and MS have been working well together to the benefit of the gaming community.

I dont know what relationship Nintendo has to the IP though. Edit: It seems Megaman has appeared on Sega, Nintendo, Sony and Windows.

Megaman on Xbox 360 is pretty likely I'd say.

I think it's something complete different. The screenshots show something in the snow and I don't think goldeneye or project offset are set in the snow. Gears of War 2 would be something really big but I also think snow wouldn't fit into the GoW atmosphere. Lost Planet 2? Not so big at all. 1080 snowboard game - also nothing big. We'll have to wait ..
PS: when does the GDC start exactly?

2.7 - the last time the said "A MEGA EXCLUSIVE", it was PacMan 3D Championship Edition
, so expect something like that.

3 - if its console exclusive....
I might be flamed for this but I would take a wild guess and go with crysis.

You not going to get flamed for it. Great post actually. But I highly doubt Crysis would be exclusive on a single console when EA is the publisher of the game.

conjurdevil - 666 days 13 hours ago
3.2 - but...
you never know if they buy its exclustivity like with other games like mass effect which if you calculate is exclusive for exact 6 months!! and this game has been certified with best graphics and the pic depicts the same!! or come to think of it Gears 2 unvieling around GDC?!

3.3 - @conjurdevil
Bioware the developers of Mass Effect were independent developers before EA acquired them. EA does not do exclusives. Mass Effect has been announced for the PC btw. I will go on a limb to say, if EA had acquired Bioware before released Mass Effect, the game would have had a simultaneous release on PC and 360.`
Shut this user up Let user speak
conjurdevil - 666 days 12 hours ago
3.4 - exactly..
MS published it but when it went to EA it started with pc version thats what I am exactly saying Ms had bioware held with mass effect's exclsitivity for 6 months!! so who knows which game rights they get may it be timed exclusive also...

this game has been reported as being a Ps3 exclusive on Gamesradar.com. Doesn't mean things couldn't have changed since then, but I haven't heard anything.

Don't know if it is just me but Cliffy B is being really hush about a GOW sequel. This might just be the ploy M$ is planning for their next announcement though. Having GDC coming up would be the place to announce it too. Guess we'll see here in a couple days anyways.

6.2 - Yeah
Because GTAIV, MGS4, SSBB, KZ2, and Resistance 2 won't be good enough...

Give me a break, man.

GOW was awesome ONCE...but gamers won't put up with a poorly directed campaign TWICE!

EDIT: I take that back...all three Halo's sold pretty well.

Project Offset was already announced as 360/PC exclusive when the first gameplay trailer leaked to the web so I think this one is not anymore on the list

What was mentioned in the podcast? Why do everybody think it's Goldeneye? Any information I didn't get?

9 - Mega exclusive?
The bloody hell is that?
What, is it so exclusive that NO consoles get it?

Okay, seriously...

I hope for a GeOW 2, GoldenEye wouldn't be that good.
Rare's latest projects have been extremely lacking, although fun.

... Unless Rare didn't make GoldenEye and I know nothing of N64 :/

It's so exclusive only Microsoft emplyees get to play it. You have to apply for work if you want to get your hands on it.

The next level of exclusivity is 'ultra exclusive'; only available to God, Jedi Knights, and Bill Gates.

Rare was bought by MS some time ago...and yes, Rare did make Goldeneye and Perfect Dark (which was the real sequel to Goldeneye from a developer stand point, they had just lost the rights to the movie franchise)...

But most of the actual people that made goldeneye and PD moved on to form Free Radical...whom made Timesplitters 1 and 2 for the PS2...and are almost ready to ship Haze for the PS3, as well as confirmed another Timesplitters game for the PS3...

there is a reason that Rare doesn't make games like they used to...they don't have the people they used to...but Godleneye for XBLA would be absolutely incredible, especially considering the online gameplay that would be included...still one of my all time favorite games...just the idea of Goldeneye with more than 10 feet of draw distance is worth the entry fee...

9.4 - It would have to be a Sony 3rd party title.
If it's truly a "mega" exclusive, it would have to be Final Fantasy or some other huge Sony title. You could say it's Gears 2, but it would be misleading since we all expected Gears 2 to be announced eventually.

what is Project Offset?...

Crysis would be cool...but, like mentioned, EA has confirmed numerous times that the original is only coming to the PC...its the engine that will most likely be optimized for consoles this year...and there is no doubt a lot of info will be dropped about that this week...the 360 definitely could be getting some sort of Crysis: Vengeance type spin-off or something....but knowing EA, an exclusive like that seems unlikely...

but yeah...Goldeneye couldn't really be called a 'mega-exclusive', mostly because of its announcement, then cancellation, then rumored come-back already...

but isn't Project Offset already a confirmed game of some kind?...or has it really not been announced yet, just leaked?

EDIT: nevermind...just watched the trailer, I remember that from right after E3 last year...that could definitely end up being a 360 exclusive, but the pics shown so far are very closely pointing to Goldeneye...
