Microsoft flaunts fall games line-up at X08 in Toronto

Globe & Mail gets a little hands-on time with several upcoming Xbox 360 games, including Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Fable II, and others. From the story:

"Every summer Microsoft hosts a media event in Toronto called X-whatever-year-it-happens-to-be. There are never any big announcements or reveals; it's simply an opportunity for journalists to get hands-on time with some major titles before they're released over the holiday months. X08 took place Thursday within the spacious confines of a large downtown nightclub in Ontario's capital, and, as expected, there were no surprises. However, as promised, it did give the press a chance to check out plenty of this fall's most anticipated games.

As I wandered around a large dance floor converted into corridors of gaming pods, I had my first opportunity to check out Star Wars: The Force Unleashed..."

[Carbide7]

yay!...,that is the most earth-shatteringly awesome line-up of games i have ever seen, cant wait,...

/sarcasm

[DavidMacDougall]

Take a Ps3 game, copy it then wash it down give them a shiny front cover and BOOM!!! You have a sell out xbox360 games for retards

[jack who]

1.1 lol omg u didnt just say that? noooo i wont believe it?!go play bioshock...oh wait

[AngryXbot]

is multi platform.

So not only are you screwed in terms of quality if you are a 360 owner, but you are also screwed on the exclusivity front.

[Pain]

To Scarred they might reveal there secret ><;;;

http://www.cracked.com/vide...

They got it from GiantEnemyCrab just a fyi.

And lol @ Taronta!

[RoidRage]

Watching the little sony minions scramble never gets old. I guess if I had 1 AAA exclusive in 2 years, I would be a crying little b*tch like you guys. Pull that ps3 out of your a**, sew your nuts back on, and buy a the 360. If not, it won't be long until your hair is spiked, prosthetic elf ears glued to your head, and you will spend your days standing on a hill with a big cardboard sword weeping loudly because an imaginary demon captured your imaginary 12 year old girlfriend, that's assuming you aren't already like this.

I've got a couple pictures, one is for my 360 buddies, the other is for you emo Sony p*ssies. See if you can tell which one is for whom.

[Immaculate]

Even though you seem like you are actually having a steroid induced fit, you just made me almost piss myself from laughing. I've met several Sony guys, and it is so easy to imagine them actually acting the way you described.

[Mr Bot]

r true loyal dogs to MS!! MS screw us and we say screw us more just give us one more halo!

we have the best console, that plays all ps2 JRPG's and with some disney cartoon shooters! our GPU has double the amount of RSX but i still dont get how its possible ps3 exclusives are miles ahead of our games???

anyone any idea??

Mr Bot

[PimpHandStrong]

is doing a 2 week lead up to X08

They will dedicate a week of programing to X08!

Sony day will be on the ticker at the bottom of the screen

[TheHater]

What are you talking about?

[StephanieBBB]

Anyhow imo Microsofts exclusive lineup looks weak. Sonys exclusive fall lineup looks much more promesing but when you add the games that come to both consoles I can safetly say that even those that only own 1 console should't be doing anything else than having a game seziure all day every day, this fall =)

[iceman2885]

What is the problem. This is the gamer zone, as in judging all consoles/systems equally. At no point in the article did they neigh say or even mention the ps3 and its fall lineup. Yet you feel it necessary to go onto the comment board and bring up the completely unnecessary "xbox 360 lineup is weak" comment. Well I think that's uncalled for and should head over to the fan zone.

PS: I hate fan boys on both sides that feel they have to go and trash talk their supposed "rivals" whenever nothing of the sort was brought up.

Edit: I realize you're trying to be neutral, but bringing up the ps3 in an xbox360 article/thread that doesn't even mention ps3 is just trying to evoke people.

[StephanieBBB]

Im just commenting from a gamers standpoint and not saying that the xbox360 or ps3 is bad in anyway. If you continue to read past the first sentence in my comment you would realise that. This is how I feel upon the subject and feel free to disagree with me. But being over sensitive about either ps3 or 360 like you are is borderline fanboy i would say.

[TheExecutive]

so people cant talk about the strength of a consoles lineup? If thats his/her opinion, its just as valid as say... yours.

[mfwahwah]

Jesus, people are way too sensitive about "fanboys." If we call everyone with an honest opinion a "fanboy," then I'm going to go crazy.

[360rxorz]

Hahahha easily beats the PS3 lineup haahahah. LittleBigPlanet? Are you kidding me? That crap is for 5 year olds or little kids. Hahahaha another flop!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Blue dragon,viva piniata,banjo all say hello!

[Carbide7]

It's a game for everyone,and no,not for 5 year olds like you

[Giant_Enemy_Sackboy]

that separates u from bieng a retarded fat moonkey is ur thumbs ,ur are the same on anything else exept
u are more stupid

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Maybe you SHOULD leave. Obviously you're no different from PoG, pp, or Nasim.

If you're gonna go berserk everytime something stupid happens because of a few idiots, then I don't think people would want you here, anyway.

Apparently you have NO idea how good you really had it, do you?

Fine. Have a nice life.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

wow, what did I miss?, I Blinked!.
People need to calm down and relax, You know what

then there brains can comprehend.

[KBDuB]

Yay! Juuken is finally leaving! Yay!

This is the best news I've heard on this site in... Forever!

[Immaculate]

Good, the last thing us 360 fangirls want in our 360 stories is a whiny little Sony troll b*tch. Go hang out with all the weirdo Sony boys.

[juuken]

Well damn, I'm impressed. I mean, Star Wars Unleashed (on the PS3 also), Fallout 3 (PS3), Fable II,You're in the Movies, and Gears of War 2?

Wow, just wow.

No true first party exclusives?

You're doing an amazing job Microsoft.

/sarcasm

[Stryfeno1]

It is not like you own a 360...There is nothing wrong showing 3rd party support.

Anyway, Gears 2 is on top of my list...If it is like the first, I should be playing well into the New Year.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

I agree. If I ever get a 360 (Which I probably won't. Gotta get a PS3, first) then Gears 2, GTA 4, and Fable 2 are the games I'm getting with it. :)

[Silellak]

It works, in some ways.

I bought a 360 around the time the PS3 was due to come out, due to the outrageous initial price of the PS3, and the fact I wanted an HD gaming system.

I was tempted to grab the MGS4 bundle I saw at Best Buy a couple weeks ago, but I didn't, because I realized nearly every game I wanted would ALSO be on the 360.

There are more PS3 exclusives in the long-run, sure, but I'd rather wait until they're out and (hopefully) the price of the PS3 drops a bit more.

I mean, the game I REALLY want is God of War 3, but now the rumor is that won't be out for another year and a half almost (Christmas '09), so there's no rush for me.

I guess the point of this rambling is that the fact the 360/PS3 share a large number of their library is an advantage for whoever has the cheaper console, and right now, that is Microsoft.

@2.8 Below:

I said it was *an* advantage. I didn't say they had *the* advantage, did I?

My point was without all those third-party games being shared between both consoles, the 360 would fall even more behind in sales than it already has.

[ActionBastard]

Sales numbers disagree with you Silellak.

Edit: Regardless the semantics you apply, sales numbers disagree with "an" advantage too. If memory serves me right, the PS3 has always been the higher priced console. And it has outsold the 360 5 or 6 months out of the year, so far, with the price of the 20GB dropping. And that's an advantage? I understand what you are saying, I just don't agree.

[lowcarb]

It's funny how action bastard is always right there when Juuken is under fire lol. Anyways I actually see what juuken is saying and feel the act same way she does but about Ps3. I mean theres just nothing that interests me other then RFOM2 and LBP which will be great but really thats it. I might pick one up when Heavy rain comes out but it's not the game I expected it to be and the visuals in some areas need some better realistic treatment.

Edit below: Well let me know if you ever get a 360 Juuken. Would love to get you online and rape you lol j/k. Oh and Action I wasn't talking bad about you at all so chill with the anger managment crap. Why you got so defensive over that beats the heck out of me and why your in this threads beats the heck out of me even more.

[juuken]

And that's your preference. There's nothing wrong with that. As for me, I'm looking forward to Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Heavy Rain, Motorstorm 2, and some multi-platform games. For the 360, I'm only looking forward to Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean, and maybe Last Remnant.

Lmao @ lowcarb. I wouldn't speak too loud if I were you. I'm a seasoned gamer...well sort of. ^^;

I'll let you know when I get the 360.

Loss: I know it's coming to the PS3 but when?

[ActionBastard]

Funny how you noticed something that doesn't exist. Just so you know, I read the comments and reply when compelled to do so. Doesn't matter who posted it. I like Juuken, she has bigger balls than some of the guys on this site. And that's a good thing.

[Silellak]

Seriously, what part of "an advantage" don't you understand?

I know Sony fans don't want to admit it, but the 360 does have some advantages over the PS3. And the PS3 has some over the 360. Shocking news, I know.

Those "advantages" over the competition are how consumers choose one over the other. If the 360 didn't have any advantages over the PS3, then it'd be selling across the world like it is in Japan. Clearly it's not, so clearly it has SOME advantages. One of those is a lower price point. Another is the large library of shared games. Without BOTH of those factors combined, the 360 would have already lost. I guarantee you some 360 sales boil down to "What's the cheaper system I can play Madden on?"

A cheap console is nothing without a good game library, and a good game library won't get sold to anyone if the console costs too much.

[ActionBastard]

"If the 360 didn't have any advantages over the PS3, then it'd be selling across the world like it is in Japan."

You're confusing choice or personal preference with advantage. An advantage is free online play. Or Blu-ray. Or Netflix integration. Or Media Center connectivity. And again, the simple fact that the cheaper console is getting outsold with a larger games library, lower price point and shared titles doesn't add up to an advantage. It would if it were outselling the higher priced competition. So now I ask: what part of "an advantage" don't you understand?

[LossTheEarthbreaker]

So they don't really count... and why is everyone so hyped for Fable 2, anyway?

Honestly. No sarcasm intended. I don't see what's behind the hype. I played Fable: The Lost Chapters (on PC).

The only things they have that I'm interested in are RPG's and Viva Piñata. If Banjo can actually be cool, I'll get it. If there's some XBLA stuff, that's cool.

But where are all the games? Other than Star Ocean 4 (which I'll most likely get as long as it isn't bad) and Halo Wars (which I won't be getting), I don't see much in the exclusive department in fall or 2009, good or not, for MS. My 360 looks to get very little game time in comparison to my PC, Wii, and PS3 this fall and into 2009 and 10.

They're slacking while both the Wii and PS3 are getting some amazing exclusives and a lot of them.

Oh and Juuken, Last Remnant is coming to PS3.

[lowcarb]

Just because PS3 and Wii are finally starting to get some games that might live up to the hype doesn't mean that Ms is slipping. MS has a great lineup this year and even if those titles go to PC i could really careless. Now of course MS has not talked about it's future 360 lineup like Sony is doing way to early but it's there and I'm sure that the one year lead and ease of use on the development front will start to pay off in 2009 and 10. Love it or hate it MS is here to stay and Sony has never felt competition like this that is without a doubt a threat to there entire console gaming division. If MS out sells Sony in Software and Hardware this holiday season then prepare for a take over which we know will never happen but it's still fun to think about.

[Firstkn1ghT]

Losstheearthbreaker,

My most anticipated game of 2008 is Fable 2. Fable: Lost Chapters was the best game I have ever played.

[juuken]

Report me for *what* exactly? Oh, I see why my comments are usually deleted. Some of the 360 fans have been unfairly reporting me when I've done nothing wrong. Did I insult anyone? Did I call anyone any names that I should use in the Openzone instead of the Gamerzone?

Please, point out what I did wrong. Is it because I mentioned 360 fangirls? There are girls who play the 360 as well as the PS3 you know. That was not meant to be an insult?

Are you angry that I just spoke the truth about your console?

[juuken]

F*ck you moderators, f*ck this site, and f*ck you 360 f*cktards.

I'm done with this site.

Goodbye!

[Diselage]

Ok guys just because some one says something you feel should not be in the GZ does not make it ok to insult them. This behavior will get you banned. This is the GZ and is meant for constructive criticism. There is has been many request for a crack down in the GZ. I for one am going to crack down now.

When ever I see people speaking ill of fanboys or of fellow members, even indirectly they will be receiving bans. This is the GZ and fanboyism will not be tolerated.

[borgome]

Ha, Will Smith, thats the funniest screen name and avatar I've seen.

Ahhhh, on topic, ....... looking forward to Star Wars and Gears 2.

[boodybandit]

I don't mean this in a kissing up or brown nosing way but....
Thank You!

I hope you go on a banning tirade for people breaking gamer zone rules.

[Diselage]

Have to say this is one of the few times i've been called for favoring the PS3. While I do have plans to buy a PS3 i have not yet because there are no games that interest me, with none on the horizon really either. I Did have high hopes for Haze but that turned horrible in a hurry.

I assure you 360 and Wii are the only consoles of this generation in my house. All the deletes (which do not translate to bans) are because of language used and not for console affiliation. Trolls, fanboys, Xbot, Sony droids are words that do not need to be used in the GZ and if call people these names your comment will probably be deleted and perhaps a ban placed. This is a safe zone for mature discussion and debate. Talking about members character really isn't called for.

[dantesparda]

If you are going to start cracking on people then i hope you are truly fair about it, but doubt you will be. Cuz both sides are equally the same. I dont care what 360 fanboys say about the PS3 fanboys, both are equally as bad! Fanboyism has become "politics" and depending on what side of the isle you are on, will determine how you see it. There really is no more fair, objective opinions, just biased a$$ opinions. For example, if youse want the truth, the truth is the world has chosen Wii as the best console, yet i bet most of youse would never see/admit that. There is no objectivity, just biased a$$ed opinions.

[morganfell]

Well dantesparda, you want the truth, here is the truth. The world has chosen the Wii as the most popular console, not the best console. You should learn the difference. Many a Wii owner has been greatly disappointed when they got home. The Wii isn't a game console no matter what Nintendo says. It's a gaming device.

[QuizPyro]

@juuken wow OMG

[ActionBastard]

Didn't they already show everything at E3? What else is there to see...err...flaunt?

[Wii60Fan]

They showed more than Nintendo did.

[360rxorz]

Good looking lineup for 08. Can't wait to see what they have in store for 09.

[jessupj]

Well I personally think it's a great line up and there's only more to come for both consoles. I wish all the 360 fans the best with their future gaming endevours. Hopefully I'll get a 360 one of these days.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

That star wars game is horrible.

the other 3 are good, but nothing new plus one multiplat so I wouldn't really boast about it.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Nobody is boasting. Whether you like the titles or not MS has this event just about every year. I guess MS should just not say anything?

They had an event and this site is reporting on it.

The PS3 folks are going ballistic in here calling people names talking about the 360 as if it's some failure.

This site gets worse and worse by the day. It's so bad that now Diselage has had to come in here and actually lay some smack down.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

you are obviously taking my comment too offensively

1. I did not call anyone anything.

2. I just gave my personal input on a demo which I've played through twice.

3. I never said anything wrong about their exclusives, 'flaunting' is a form of boasting so you might wanna check your English next time you question me.

For the record I didn't even bother to hit disagree or give you negative feedback considering you misinterpreted my comment completely.

[Imallvol7]

I am excited for gears, but MS doesn't have much to be excited about.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

Ps3 has all those games!
its a waste to make them for xbox360!
who needs to pay for online, have a tiny hardrive, no bluray
& fear the red rings of death?

see that! That's how you troll! Aha hah ha ha HAH!
you use the truth!

@FantasyStar!
xbox aint doing nothing good for xbox users. They are procrastinators.
xo8 nobody cares! Not even canadiens care.
xbox360 is for the gamer that loves to punish themselves with cheap
electronics & old DVD games. They are lucky to even have multi platform
games. All it has is the ugliest game fable2 which is a retarded concept
to begin with. And gears redux & that's it.
see how lame it is!
now please stfu with your fence riding.

[FantasyStar]

Kinda makes me shameful to own a PS3. Give credit to Microsoft; they're doing a good job right now with the 360.

[juuken]

Are you being sarcastic?

What good job could they possibly be doing? Instead of buying out 3rd party exclusives, how about they work on 1st party games for a change? Their game load is getting lighter by the minute.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

Juuken is right.With Too Human Flopping,Banjo Kazooie not looking like AAA material and no Halo 4 announced yet,the clock is ticking

[mirroredderorrim]

Excuse me while I ROFL@RROD pronounced; ROFFLE AT ROREOD

In all seriousness, I see no interest in most of the linup. Gears 2 is already paid for.

I want to see MORE from the Xbox 360. I bought the mother f****er for their exclusives. I expect more buyouts to facilitate my Xbox needs. Go Microsoft... and make it happen!

On the Sony side, no complaints. LBP will be bought as well.

[FantasyStar]

The 360 is picking up speed in Japan. Microsoft also boasts a pretty strong jRPG lineup while PS3's barely has 2-3. *I think*. Also the pricecut for the 60GB down to $300, and the Arcade going down to $200 is going to put the pain on PS3. Microsoft is doing pretty well for themselves and I expect Sony counterattack very swiftly.

[Mr_Potato_]

@fantasystar : MS is not at all picking up speed in Japan, they're still more dead than ever. They sold 7k consoles last week with Tales, half the PS3 total (with no Sony game out). Stop reading Kotaku or any other MS advert, your brain will be damaged.

[Mao]

When it comes to American cattered AAAs there isn't much outside of Gears to boast about this fall for MS. PS3 has more going for it that way, but the recent Arcade price-cut rumors have me thinking that MS can still pull this off.

Either way, it'll be an interesting fall economically in the gaming market. I for one will just continue loving life playing all the AAA games I want on my PS360.

[LossTheEarthbreaker]

Yep.

Bubbles :)

[jmare]

That lineup isn't much to brag about. This is where Sony has a huge advantage simply because they own so many development studios and MS doesn't. Sony will always have more exclusives due to sheer numbers. The only way MS can compete with exclusives is by buying them. I don't necessarily mean going to devlopers and paying money to keep it on one platform but MS will have to help pay for the game. Developers need to make back their money and going multiplatform is the only way to do it. Third-party exclusives are almost dead.

[divideby0]

beyond GOW2..there is really no 360 buy games for me..
its all in cycles...360 got the most of our playtime, now its the PS3 for the rest of this gen and into the next gen of consoles

[Aclay]

Microsoft didn't show or announce anything new at X08, but one website today was questioning what was the point of Sony even being at GC, but Sony made new announcements and showed new footage of Heavy Rain, but I don't hear anyone critizing Microsoft for not even being at GC with new announcements or updates on games like ALAN WAKE or Splinter Cell Conviction.

I guess Microsoft must be waiting until 2009 to talk about their 2009 lineup or something, but right now Sony's 2009 lineup is more rock solid.

[Hellsvacancy]

i bet it didnt take very long

[GameDev]

IF THEY COME OUT AND ANNOUNCE THAT THEY JUST BOUGHT KILLZONE 2, GOD OF WAR 3, HEAVY RAIN AND EVERY OTHER PS3 EXCLUSIVE TO THE 360.

I AM NEVERRRRRRRRR BUYING THAT PILE OF MANURE POSING AS A CONSOLE EVER AGAIN.

The worst thing I could have heard this morning was my son calling me at work choking back tears because my !!!!! 1 year old 360!!!!! RED RINGED ON HIM.

I calmed him down and told him, "I warned you that this was going to happen" "yes Dad" "I can always buy you a PS3?" "yeah that's true" click.

That sums up a pathetic end to their run in the console market. MS IS DONE, stick a fork in em.

I even wondered why it took a year for it to red ring. THAT BECAUSE I NEVER PLAYED THE DAMN THING SINCE I WAS ALWAYS ON MY PS3.

IT REALLY IS A PAPER WEIGHT.

[juuken]

...Wow...that's just sad.
I feel sorry for him. Are you going to buy him the PS3?

[Dyingduck]

I hope your son doesn't get traumatized by evil M$ - F*CK them, the new trend is here...PS3!

[GameDev]

just gave him a little pep talk, explained that once HOME releases it will easily replace his circle of friends on LIVE. He's actually anxious for one now.

Just like Sony said this is a marathon, not a sprint. MS popped sh1t, did their strut and flew out of the gate at a 1000 miles an hour. Meanwhile Sony the cool collected EXPERIENCED runner takes his time and even takes a MOMENT to stretch before starting the race. a quarter mile down the road the 360 is on the side of the road nursing a snapped ACL because it didn't bother doing ANY preparation. Sony with it's PS3 running shoes jogs bye smiles and waves.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

wow, see that's what I feared about the 360, I feared
the RROD.

[juuken]

GameDev, that's awesome news. He'll be more happy with the PS3.

[AIi_The_Brit]

hahahaha and what games are they!?!

half of the article was multi-platform

seriously some xbot needs to come along, no please i insist

list every single xbox 360 exlusive coming this year

and il show you sonys twice as big

[air1]

YOU PS3 fanatics need to give it a rest already. like if sony has been puting out so many damn great games sony has been out for 3 frikin gens has more studios than micro and ninty combined and all they turned up is 1 AAA game? that wasnt made by sony.

all i know is that my 360 library will sh!t on any ps3 library that you turds have and the ps3 is still in 3rd.. :P

[juuken]

Go shove your 360 up your asscrack.

What games does the 360 have that competes with the PS3 lineup *this* year? Name all of those games right now. Go on, name them...or are you too butthurt to do that?

Immature aren't we?

And the 360 will come in 3rd place soon enough with it's lackluster titles. How is it that I only want rpg's on the 360? How is it that NG2 is the only thing I want as well?

Who are *you* kidding?

YA BLIND ASS BOT.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

"F*ck you moderators, f*ck this site, and f*ck you 360 f*cktards.

I'm done with this site.

Goodbye!"

That was 22minutes ago and here you are Juuken not even 10 minutes later still commenting..

GTFO already you said you were done NOW LEAVE! Are you so addicted to trolling 360 articles you just can't help yourself?

You got mental problems.

[Dyingduck]

Another blind Xbot - enjoy playing your too human too sh1tty game or banjo soo kiddie game or Gears almost one and a half or lmao floppy fable :)

Just wait and see - 360 is dying, whether you like it or not

and great job on 2008 lineup, one flop after another + I hope your RROD warranty expires soon hahahahahhahahahahhahaha

[juuken]

And you have crab lice.

Reporting me unfairly because I said everything that was truthful about your system? You act as if your console is so damn perfect and noone can speak against it. Well guess what?

I SPOKE AGAINST IT.

[theKiller]

please juuken let the rest for me, only 2 comments will make them jump out of the bridges!

@air1
@GiantEnemyCrab

u r both bots and probably u have the same fart brains so my comment will be to both of u, and dont think u can reply because its not possible for ur brains to reply to me!

-------------DEFENSE--------- ------

first u said ps3 had nothing last year compare to 360 right? then can u explain why it sold millions more??

second about AAA first party games, i will tell u that uncharted is an AAA game so its not true that last year there was no 1st party games on the AAA level!

third about LBP, LOL its not kids game but its fun game for everyone, and even if it was for 5 years old kids i will tell u that 5 year old kid games sells much better than your gay'low 1.02(that will be halo) and cheese of gray(that will be gears of war)!

thats it for the defense, if i missed some point reply to me and i will answer u, u see am confident about my replies but i cant say the same about u!!

-------------END------------- --

------------------OFFENSE---- ---------------

what AAA games 360 had in its first year? gears of war and thats not even a first party games, its second party epic made it!

what AAA games 360 had in its second year??? NOTHING!!!!! and i mean it, halo 3 was good game but it had many flows and it got over hyped because its MS's HALO and many blinded bots like u bought it!! bioshock its coming to ps3 and on PC, mass effect is a PC game, if i want to play it i go to torrents and download it!

how many exclusives u have this year?? owch, that must hurt, ninja gayden 2 and Too human(LOL) gears of war 1.009 and some other minor games thats not even forth mentioning!

XBOX LIVE?? LOL, they r tricking u and sucking ur money like when a farmer milking the goat!! PSN arguably is better or on par and its free(a word that u hate a lot)!

hardware?? do i need to mention the RROD and disk scratching etc??
ps3 is 2-3 time more powerful that 360(i dont mean graphics) and around 1.5 better in graphics than 360, most reliable, includes the new standard media disk format(blue ray)

the hardware of the ps3 it self includes more than elite includes!

blue ray games r proven to be the real next gen games, while 360 DVD games aged at gears of war(first year release)

MGS4 game of the mankind impossible to be done on the 360!
games like heavy rain and killzone and MAG shows the things that every bot dream of having!

-------------continued after the reply--------------

EDIT
ooops, i just lost another bubble!! well then u have 25 minutes to get a reply from me!! well i dont think i need more bubbles to own u bots!!

ha ha haha heee heee

why so serious bots?

[air1]

@ juuken

what are you new around here? you have no idea whats coming out for the 360? heard of gears 2? how bout fable 2? left 4 dead?

what the f*ck did sony have to compete with the 360 last year? not a damn thing. sony might have a little better line up this year but the 360 isnt on it's as$ like the ps3 was a year ago.

you only want the rpg's and ng2 and nothing else cause you a hard core sony fanatic that's why. what the hell could you of had wanted a year ago for the ps3 when you got it? they had sh!t for that system but you got it right!

yea well until the ps3 takes the lead stfu and stay in your place. that's 3rd case you 4got.

[Dyingduck]

It's called Gears1.5 and it sucks:

http://i37.tinypic.com/1zvp...

Fable didn't do so well, Fable2 looks bleak

Left 4 Dead isn't remotely popular LMAO

360 may have won last year (no duh, one year head start), but it's facing a uphill battle at the moment - probably on its last leg as the rest announcements for this year as well as plans for next year pale in comparison...not to mention

HAHAHAHAH TOO HUMAN

[juuken]

i SAID NAME THE F*CKING GAMES XBOT.

If I'm a hardcore Sony fanatic, then you are a hardcore xbot fanatic who would get f*cked in the ass by Microsoft if they told you to bend over.

I told you to name me some games asswipe and you still haven't done so.

Oh, and this is 2008, not 2007. Get your head out of Microsoft's ass and realize that you barely have any games to brag about *this year*. The only reason why you had games last year is because the 360 is an older system DUMBASS MORON.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

You really have lost it completely, Juuken. D=

@ air1

If I got a 360 I would get Gears 2 for sure. I'd probably get Fable 2. I'm a MAJOR RPG nut so I'd get Tales of Vesperia and the others. NG2 looks badass...I'd get Forza 2 because I like to race...

But I'd still rather get the PS3 because it has FFXIII (yes, I know it's multiplat) , FF Versus XIII, FF Agito XIII (Is it on PS3? Or just PSP?), Disgaea 3, Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet, the better version of Alone In the Dark, and the better version of Bioshock, and of course, Heavy Rain and both Motor Storms.

@ dyingduck

so how many times have you beat mgs4 now? i mean that is all sony gave you this year so far.

yea dying duck i forgot you already played gears 2 and every other game that isnt out. how could you call games garbage that arent out but yet call other ppl fanboys??

[GiantEnemyCrab]

That is not even a first party title.

[Dyingduck]

Xbots are indeed blind - I pity you guys => up for some serious disappoints as time drags on,

Good luck and RIP (R=RROD)

EDIT: The better question is, how many AAA have 360 given you this year? NG2? Major Flop. Too Human? ULTRA Flop...here's another question, is 1 > 0?

How about by the end of the year, is 5 > 0?

[Lost_My_600_Dollar]

LOL good one

@ Dying B!tch

Pathetic loser , are you really serious ??? NG2 major flop ??

you really have a big issues or let the doctors check your a$$ maybe they can remove the tumor I mean sony lol

[air1]

slow your role ducky. ng2 might not be AAA but its a good game to hold me off till AAA games like fable 2 gears 2 l4d. now what do you have to hold you off till litle g#y planet? you sony fanatics love to scream flop this and that like if the ps3 has the greates library when it barely has one. i mean realy what the hell did you ppl do after uncharted? cause that a long as$ wait from then to mgs4.

that's the sony 10 year plan 1 AAA game a year.
these sony fanatics like to act like if the ps3 is god and it's only possible to play good games on a ps3. get a life sony isnt what it used to it has comp now and now the comp hold the rpg crown. so you sony fanatics need to stfu fall back take a deep breath and just deal with being in 3rd..

edit...............

@ ducky lmfao so thats what you sony fanatics do on those llooooooooong waits for games you hang out at youtube. for real though get a life. you lucky im outa bubbles i was gana have duck roast, dah well. with your gay as$ favy song you fruit basket

[Dyingduck]

Words cannot put to justice the things I want to say...

So, here's a similar video that explains everything, why the 360 is dying and PS3 is more or less digging the 360's grave...

Rest in Peace, Xbox360
Bye

[Lost_My_600_Dollar]

welcome back Juuken

[sentai]

...Aren't you something 600 Dollar? Is this your millionth account? The bots have this habit of creating multiple accounts. I'm just trying to figure out which bot you are exactly.

[Lost_My_600_Dollar]

lol @ Juuken

you created another account just for me thats really sweet

[Droid]

And Sony continues to flaunt games line-up for '09 and 2010.

[bamyrick226]

as a 360 fan i am upset at this lineup. you can clearly see the tide turning sony's way and microsoft knows it. banjo, fable are only getting attention because there really is nothing else besides gears 2, which is going to be great but one great game isnt enough. sony accually has a lineup of exclusive blockbusters coming. im not going to name them, we all know them and sony has been talking about them for a while yes, so they need to get off there asses and release them already. 360 has had its day, but sadly that day is fading. its ok to accept it, just do what im doing and move on to ps3!

[CouchKing0]

LOL at Juuken

OMG AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't cry like the bots, be a man. (WOOPS AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

[sentai]

Go f*ck a donkey asswipe.
If you have to stoop *that* low to make fun of someone like that, then you are not worthy to be called a gamer.

[GametimeUK]

Im a PS3 guy... but now for the remainder of the year I want Fable2 more than anything else!... omg :-O
but MGS4 still = King of 2008

[Cynjo]

@ 2.5 no offense but....you do know that 360 will be is getting yet another price cut & thus the system will be affordable to virtually anyone right? secondly why would you get a ps3 now if all you want is Gears 2, GTA 4, and Fable 2...sounds like your all ready on board with bill. Just get a 360 well there cheap :)

No pressure, you can get one if you want or wait its fine.....*cough*...buy a 360!!...*cough*

[SmokingMonkey]

these games are all sad when compared to PS3 games

R2>Gears2 (60vs10 online/8vs2 co op)
LBP>BanjoKazooieNB i wont explain why

Fable2 and Gaers2 have two things in common, they are both the best the 360 will have to offer and THEY ARE BOTH PC BOUND not real exclusives. If LBP goes to the PC, then it too will not be a TRUE exclusive.

other two reasons i wont buy a 360;
Below 5% electronic defective rate STILL? (even the PS2 fixed it's problemS RRoD,ScratchedDisks,TrayMalfun c etc...still exist)
and LIVE is not worth $50 a year, not while PSN is FREE

[Pika-pie]

I wonder if MS constantly flaunting multi platform games also helps sales of the PS3 version.

Anyway i seriously doubt MS position this time next year. The havent got anything beyond 2008 exclusive.

[Snukadaman_]

Is it worth it? man look at all those deleted comments....

[plain rice]

Played the demo twice now. I liked it. The graphics were pretty nice too. I know I'll be buying this game.

[Captain Tuttle]

The demo's ok. I'm not thrilled with the camera, it got hung up a couple of times. I think I'll rent it to see if they fixed that problem.

[hardcorehippiez]

the game itself is ok , it plays fluid enough but its not as great as i thought it was going to be . it has some nice graphical touches and fits well into the atmosphere created by the film but its not as polished as it could have been. worth the free download tho to check it out.

[The Wombat]

Demo's a lot of fun. If you're a huge fan of Star Wars, you'll dig it. It's really the first Star Wars game that nails the impact of some of the force powers, especially Force Push. The Jedi Knight games did it pretty well, but this game takes it up a notch. When you blast open a bulkhead door (that bends realistically depending on where you hit it) it's an awesome feeling.

Like Tuttle said though, there are some issues with the camera getting caught on things.

[Snukadaman_]

I loved that game on my crappy computer back in the days...I have downloaded the demo but still have not played it. Now im going to enjoy it im sure with these positive reviews.

[Famous Wookie]

We will see, but I ABSOLUTELY disagree with that OPINION...

And stop using the "R2 will have more players so it automatically will be better!!" crap. Your blind if you cant see that Gears isnt made for that type of game. And judging how the first two games matched against each other, I expect history to repeat. --> IMO <--

[SmokingMonkey]

it's the 8 player co op and great STORY the whole package that counts.
Developed by INSOMNIAC and 30 on 30 online combat are you kidding me?
DEDICATED SERVERS, free online the list goes on, just because Gears 1 outsold RFOM doesn't mean it's a better game. WiiPlay has outsold both of them so, should i go out and buy it because of that? Plus and this IS a big plus, Resistance will stay on the PS3 and on the PS3 ONLY, no PC, no timed exclusivity bull. RFOM was a LAUNCH game that still is exclusive to this day. Gears1 is (i hear) better on PC and both Gears and RFOM both came out at the same time. Sorry for the rant, i liky Resistance......VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!!

[Famous Wookie]

I respect your opinion and can see why you are hyped up for it but there is no need to go around saying Resistance 1/2 > Gears 1/2 like its a fact, because ALOT of people would disagree with that, including myself.

Also - "just because Gears 1 outsold RFOM doesn't mean it's a better game."

Ummm... If I'm not mistaken, Im pretty sure Gears also got better feedback and ratings... But everything is just about a matter of opinion so that doesnt really matter.

[SmokingMonkey]

and i def appreciate your common sense.

But it is my opinion that if Gears was 30 on 30 you and everyone else would LOVE it, i think people are just trying to defend the 360 when they say 30 on 30 is too much. That's bull, Halo4 better be at least 16 on 16 because 8 on 8 is starting to feel dated. Bubbles for good argument.

aararaararaaggagagaggghhhhhhh -my best wookie impression lol

[AIi_The_Brit]

face it microsofts line up is a joke

they only have 2 real decent games and one of them is likely to flop

why cant you just admit defeat

2008 truely is the Playstations year

[Captain Tuttle]

So many PS3 fans in this thread.

[ReBurn]

There really aren't any 360 exclusives that I'm looking forward to this fall. I'm sure some people are really looking forward to Gears 2, but I'm not really a shooter fan.

Also, why so many 360 haters in here? X08 is a Microsoft-sponsored event, so why come in here and bash the 360? That's pretty lame.

[mrbiggut1975]

It's absolutely amazing to me how in just these few weeks I've started visiting this site how every article, no matter what it may be, turns into a damn fanboy argument. The guy didn't mention a damn thing about PS3 or 360 being better or which game to go and buy for which system, he simply said he had an opportunity to play a few games before they are released. I visit this site to get News for gamers (N4G) not to read all of these childish arguments over which system is best. The system YOU own is best, if you don/t own that particular console you don't know jack about it. I personally have all 3 systems and I think all of them are wonderful yet they all have their weaknesses. Be a gamer not a hater and if any of you guys are getting paid to endorse your respective console let me know how to get in on the action, otherwise, shut the HELL up!!

[Captain Tuttle]

But I'll give you a bubble for trying.

[Diselage]

Report comments you feel don't follow the guidelines then.

Please stay on topic though.

[Rampant]

you sonyboys should focus on the catching up sony has to do instead of the supposedly weak lineup the x360 has this christmas?

90+Meta:
PS3: 5 (1 excl)
X360: 14 (6 excl, not counting the timed exclusive Bioshock and the Sucky version of Orange Box)

OUCH!!!!! Sony better come up with a hellofalot AAA exclusives this winter=).

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

MS might be flaunting their fall lineup, but what do they have after that??? At this point a year ago, we knew about Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden, Lost Odyssey, Gears2, etc. The only games I can think of for '09 are APB, Halo Wars, Alan Wake, the inevitable Halo installment, maybe another DOA or a Forza, Killer Instinct.

Elveon is going MP, Mass Effect 2 will most likely do the same. Bioshock already has.

MS have a rough road ahead of them if they expect to compete w/ PS3 exclusives like Infamous, Free Realms, KZ2, White Knight Story, The Agency, Ghostbusters, FF Versus, FF13(coming out a roughly a yr. first on PS3), God Of War 3, Gran Turismo, and Heavy Rain.

A few games we might also see for PS3 are another Uncharted, Twisted Metal, Hardware 2, another Ratchet and Clank, the Team Ico Project, R* Exclusive or MAG. Seriously, this might be one of the best lineups in videogame history.

You can call it fanboyism all you want, but its true, MS has a serious void in their lineup. It kinda makes you wonder if they are now focusing their attention on the next XBOX, and if so will they keep the 360 alive while they release it?
