Rumor: Microsoft to announce Two New IP's by Q1 2009

V4vg.com-"The Xbox 360 seems to be running short of exclusives this year, barring Halo Wars and a couple DLC components from its earlier games the machine has very little to look forward to but we found out that there was indeed a lot cooking inside Microsoft's stove that they are yet to let out."

nah, they'll probably try to pay some 3rd party company out for a known game that should be multi-platform. you know they do sketchy S**t like that.

@1.1:

"the other is an action adventure game from one of their internal studios."

Not sure about the online fighter but they state right in the article that one is an internal studio project.

Sorry to interrupt your hate fest of anything and everyone connected to Xbox #1. You sound like an Xbox 360 raped your family or something with all that hostility. Funny how you are doing it in a 360 only article, is that necessary?

wow dude, that is a retarded thing to say especially when xbots and the media act liek Sony raped their family and killed their dog.
Sony is truly only trying to improve gaming and everyone puts up a negative image of them.
then everyone goes back and portrays Microsoft as the good guys when all they are doing is spending spending spending just trying to OWN the market and profit from it, NOT trying to improve gaming.
What if Microsoft owned the video game industry? RRoD, disc-scratching machines, andpay-to-play online for all. thanks everybody for being utterly ridiculous.

I don't get that at all. We aren't even 2 months into 09 and as a 360 owner excuse me when I say F U on it being too late.

MS hasn't handed sh*t to Sony, Sony and GG have earned the current momentum. I am excited to hear about any new IP's on the Xbox 360.

Look at all the denial above me, you can't avoid the inevitable. It's already happening, Microsoft just doesn't have the steam to keep up anymore. Toting GTA4 DLC as a great reason to buy a Xbox 360...

ash_divine  +   1563d ago
here we go with this "MSFT has not announced the 2009 lineup" crap. again. Listen kid, how many 360 games were announced last year that launched in the same year. Cause I can only think of one. Most of the games launching that year are already known about the previous year. This is the way it's work EVERY year.

Why do people expect MS to announce and release a crap ton of games this year.(Especially with so few studios) Has any company ever done that? Even if MS announced this plethora of new games most would probably be 2010 games.(like Mass Effect 2).
Why dis  +   1563d ago
^^^
Leave please or go to the open zone if you want to bash the 360 by trolling. I find it strange anything MSFT fills up with haters spewing the same sh*t. Where are the armies of 360 fans trolling PS3 rooms?

Spare us your opnions on what MSFT has to offer.

Why do 360 fans have to put up with all these kids seeking out every 360 room so that they can talk smack? are PS3 fans in PS3 rooms outnumbered by 360 fans? I'm asking.

We'll know about the 360 lineup soon enough won't we ;)

couple of things I want to point out...
For one, show me exactly where it is that I trolled. All I did was use actual logic. You're probably not used to that kind of thing since you live in fantasy land.

secondly, why are you complaining about trolling when I see you in almost every PS3 thread trolling and posting senseless crap , you are the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen. Are you actually aware of the flood of crap that flows from keyboard at times?

finally, why do I have to leave? your opinion is no stronger than mine so I'll go to the open zone when you do. I'll I did was address an idiotic part of your comment. If you don't like it, fine, but don't try to dismiss me.

PS: Open your naive little eyes, any positive PS3 news is crawling with 360 fanboys trying to downplay it.

EDIT: @Giant Enemy Crab, I meant quality games.(exactly how many of those games did you buy?). and for the record, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. It just bugs me when people put that in their comments.

Besides the same can be asked for any 360 fanboy, why do they try to rain on ps3 gamer's parade all the time? Remember all those waitstation jokes? how about the delaystation one? Don't you dare, try to make me into some kind of fanboy when you yourself were one of the ring leaders for the fanboy circus.

I think ms line up is fine. perhaps sony seems to have a better line up at the moment, but i thought the same thing last year and things turned out differently.. lets see.

LittleBigKillzone  +   1563d ago
The first post is right
It is too late for MS this year and here is why.. A. Even if they announce something at E3 that will be in July, by then Killzone 2 would have been out for a few months and most likely be a major commercial and critical success by then not to mention it raising the bar for future console games across all platforms..

Aside from Killzone 2 Sony is set to steal the stage at E3 with first playable footage of Uncharted 2 which will be huge and might even set the bar even higher in terms of graphics, Heavy Rain which looks amazing, Infamous which has received very positive previews so far, eyepet a game that looks very innovative and very casual friendly, not to mention the Home EA Space among other big home updates to come.

Oh and last but not least God of war 3 will be shown in a big way as well at E3.. So yes it IS TOO Late for MS this year, make fun of Sony all you want about them showing games way too soon but its showing that it pays off big time.. Now Sony is on the offense because they have stellar games coming this year and next, The ball is now in Microsoft's court to play defense and counter with more announcements.

Keep in mind that not only does that make MS work that much harder and use a lot of resources to counter sony's stellars line up, but they have to come up with something that will be better than Killzone 2, God of war 3, Heavy rain etc and frankly i dont see that happening.

I honestly dont know why MS stopped the strategy of announcing games a year or two before they came out.. I remember they announced Gears 1 a year before the 360 even came out and 2 years before the actual game came out and it was a huge success.. I think Sony's gameplan of announcing games way ahead in advance really does a lot to help the hype and sales.. look at MGS4 and Killzone 2 will be the same.

You can sit there and say "but but it was like this last year with MS" no actually it wasnt.. We all had a very good idea last year to expect Fable 2, Gears 2 and a new banjo game.. now that Mass Effect 2 has been pushed back to 2010, what else can MS come up with?

So... what you are saying, is that,

Killzone 2
InFamous
Heavy Rain
Uncharted 2
Home (lolz)

are better than:

2 Rumored Titles
Alan Wake
Halo Wars
Halo 3: ODST
Splinter Cell ConViction
Forza Motorsport 3
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Prototype
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Street Fighter IV
Resident Evil 5
Alpha Protocol
etc.
etc..
etc...

Please.. Those 4 1/2 titles are going to be stomped by everything else if you think exclusives are the only things that matter this year. By the way, Microsoft HAS used this strategy for every year. Gears of War 2 was announced Feb. 2008 and was released Nov. 2008, and has already closed in on MGS4's total sales. Gears of War 2 is sitting at around 3.5(?)million. And MGS4 is around 4 to 4.5 million.

"look at MGS4 and Killzone 2"

*gasp!* Two titles? Oh wow! Wasn't SOCOM, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Naruto, Valkyria Chronicles, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, etc. hyped up for years? Hmmm.. yeah, I don't think that strategy works too well.
Theoneneo81  +   1563d ago

i dont wana see them copying some of Playstation's greatest and UNDERRATED games of all time. ESPECIALLY Warhawk. That game is more fun than people give it credit for.

If I'm not mistaken the only exclusive that is even worth mentioning on the Ps3 has this entire first half of 2009 is Killzone2....

Are we forgetting about..

Ninja Blade, Star Ocean 4, GTAIV:Lost and the Damned is damn near an entire game 12-20hours of NEW, Fallout 3:Broken Steele where I can continue my quest in one of the BIGGEST titles of 2008.

With the addition of multiplatforms that I will enjoy.

The logic here wreaks of ignoramus.

Word to your mother on this one...Killzone 2 isn't going to change the face of gaming and stop the 360 from gaining market...we've been through this story with the past handful of Ps3 exclusives with promise.

I couldn't care less what you fanboys think.

I'll be investing my first 15hours in Star Ocean4 while you cling to the belief that KZ2 will kill the 360.

Overestimation at its best.

But by this post "running low on exclusives" means having more to be released.

EDIT:@below

GT5, Heavy Rain, inFamous aren't even dated...so in case your a moron...your gonna have to "just wait" for those lmao.

If your comprehension skills match your fanboyism then you should have understood that so far MSFT have more exclusives being droppped this first half of 2009. Ninja Blade, Star OceanIV,Halo Wars,Stoked, and DLC.

So all in all your still ramping up 1 single game lol while I'll have plenty of things that vary in genre that will take up time and keep my gaming needs happy.

So /clap have fun shooting your way until something actually gets an announced release date on the Ps3 good sir LMAO.

LMAO Ninja Blade and 2 pieces of DLC is all you have? while PS3 owners get Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain and Infamous, MS hasnt even announced a new forza game, where is Alan Wake, where is the new splinter cell.. Its rather ironic over the last 2 years it was 360 fans making fun of PS3 fans for saying "Just wait" all the time, now it seems the shoe is on the other foot and while we PS3 fans boast of great games to come, now its YOU 360 fans playing the "Just Wait" card. How does it feel?

Nice to see actuality. Lord Xire Bubbles :D

360 at least has physical dates and people can start saving there money and mark there calendars.

90% of that list that the Pro-Ps3 camp proudly spams are about as believable and accurate as thinking that Heavy Rain, God of War 3, GT5 will drop in 2009.

As a fan of hack and slashers and RPGs over First person shooters I find the 360s line up for these first upcoming months to cater my inner gamer over the Playstation3's.

With that said I am now an official enemy of N4G.

Also 360 is starting off better than last year.

There's plenty of games that we know of well before the onslaught of unannounced goodies that are announced at GDC and E3.

WRONG! Forza Motorsport 3 has already been leaked and has been proven to have already been in development for a while now.

@Lord Xire

Quality over quantity if you ask me. DLC being considered a new game isn't really game changing to me, since I doubt even GTA IV DLC to sell as much as the GTA copies already sold. Nothing big to crow about, I'd wait and see how the DLC does before talking about it.

Other than GTA DLC, most of the other 360 DLC just seem like add-ons, like the Tomb Raider DLC that was supposed to be in the original build of the game to begin with.

Ninja Blade is going to flop with regards to sales and have little to differentiate it from Ninja Gaiden for gameplay. Ninja Blade just came out in Japan at 19th spot with sales less than 10000 units, while the top game was Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 (psp) at 213,000. If Ninja Gaiden 2 didn't have great sales or phenomenal gameplay, why would anyone expect differently with Ninja (Gaiden) Blade?

Look at the bigger picture for the whole of 2009, SO4 is going to get destroyed by FFXIII or Versus, one of which will be out later this year. Besides the biggest RPG in Japan is Dragon Quest followed by FF, and everything thing else falls pretty far after that.

If you actually looked at release dates for Japan, you'd also see DQ IX for the NDS. FF Dissidia on the psp did nearly 1 million units it's 1st month, DQ IX will probably do 1 million 1st week. SO4 isn't going to sell close to either FF or DQ, so 360 is going to be even further behind in Japan, upon arrival of those 2 games.

ME2 is 2010 from what I gather, so what other JRPG or NA RPG is big enough for MS to talk about?

Since none of us have actually played the games in question yet (Section 8, GTA DLC, Fallout DLC, Ninja blade, SO4 etc.), were only talking numbers/quantity that really does not equate to quality. Would everyone pick 10 hazes over 1 halo? I doubt it, so why not continue this discussion after we've all had a chance to see a review or better yet, play the games (^_^).

"A bit of probing also revealed that one might actually be an online fighter based on a very popular franchise"

KI3 anyone?
That along with Halo wars,ODST and star ocean would keep me on my 360 all year.
