Atlus plugs into Xbox 360

RPG-centric publisher to bring Operation Darkness and Spectral Force 3 to Microsoft's console in 2008.

[WilliamRLBaker]

Now I just wish they'd being the other great strat rpgs they've released on the ps2 and or ps3.

[bootsielon]

Like Bully, DMC3 (in Europe), and others. I also remember when they said "NG Sigma? Who cares, the original sucked anyway".

If you're gonna ask for more japanese games (or simply more games in general), why not ask for more games instead of ports?

[ry-guy]

First and foremost: Whoever said Ninja Gaiden sucked needs their head examined. The game was hard, no doubt about that. However, you were getting a 3-year-old port and I think it was the Playstation 3 players that were saying "Look at this awesome exclusive we just got!"

Again, I think no one ever reads the articles posted on here.

Atlus has said nothing about porting any old Playstation 1, 2, or 3 games over to the Xbox 360. What Atlus has pledged is to become an official third-person producer for the 360. Also, they announced two new exclusive games coming in 2008 for the Xbox and moving on that was Xbox 360, Japan only, exclusive to the Western Markets.

Way to read the article.

[PS360WII]

I like Atlus games they have a pretty good track record IMO so far. Looks like a couple stratagy RPG's coming up for 360. Could be intresting.

[TheMART]

More and more exclusive 3rd party support (or first support at least) for the 360. Do people start to see the 360 has taken up the spot the PS2 had last gen?

EDIT

To the one below. Too easy

What about former Playstation exclusives coming over to the XBOX 360???

Virtua Fighter 5
Devil May Cry 4
GTAIV
Resident Evil 5
Ace Combat 6

and those first thought to be PS3 exclusive like Assassins Creed, or games like Lost Planet way before it it releases on the PS3.

No dude. The 360 just gets more support then the PS3, it is clear. You can't keep putting up MGS4 or FFXIII, which both still could be released on the 360. Untill that time you'll enjoy mentioning them I guess.

[allforcalisto]

that's why FFXIII, FFXIII versus, and mgs4 are exclusive to 360...wait no they're actually not.

For some inane reason i see lemmings putting Last remnant up as title that shows third party devs are leaving sony...umm that game's multiplat, just so you know more people want it on ps3.

Resident evil 5 could be a 360 exclusive, or at least timed exclusive.. you know microsoft probably tried to secure that, but evidently that flopped.

two of the biggest third party games that are poised to come out in 08 are FFXIII, MGS4

the mart..sometimes you make it too easy.

[WilliamRLBaker]

what has the most console sales worldwide with no sign of ps3 catching up?
360 and Wii
What system has the highest attached ratio for the past 2 years? 360
What system has more games, and is geting more games for the past 2 years, and next year? 360
What system will be the first to hit the 150 dollar price point? The wii then the 360 and then 4 years later the ps3.

yep it pretty much seems that its a tie 360 and wii have dominated the place as what the ps2 was last gen.
Infact I liken the 360 more to the ps1 it came onto the scene then stole all this great stuff from ninty or sony:)

[HarryEtTubMan]

theMART is a dreamer. The Xbox 360 is selling NOTHING LIKE THE PS2. YOU'RE FREAKING HILARIOUS. YOU WISH. The Xbox 180 won't even sale 50 million consoles this generation. Seriously, NOT EVEN HALF. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. It's so true. All the big franchises are out on the 360 and it hasnt sold well AT ALL except fot the serptember and it dropped back of for October. LOL LOL LOL LOL. The Xbox 360 bring NOTHING NEW OR INNOVATIVE to the gaming world. Most of the 17 year old Halo fangirls alrewady have a 360.. like I bought mine(even though i HATE GAYLO now) You are seriously gonna lose. The 360 has NO MOMENTUM. It only attracts ONE TYPE OF MAN/BOY. Who is attracted in shooters primarily....ofcourse thats not all it has but thats the ONLY THING its known for. Not everyone likes that. The Xbox 360 is the ULTIMATE hardcore machine. You are going to see the PS3 become more and more mainstream as the years go by. LBP, Buzz, Singstar, GTK, Uncharted, Jax and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank,so many more coming in the near future. PS3 is the future. 360 has hit its BIGGEST stride it WILL EVER HIT .....RIGHT NOW!!!!! Actually back in September. PERIOD. PS3 hasnt even begun!

[Xemnas]

Idk we will see.

[felidae]

i need games like God of War or Ratchet for the 360.

please make some great games for the xbox 360, please.

[InMyOpinion]

If you like God of War and Ratchet then why don't you just buy a PS3? I bought a 360 cause I prefer games like Mass Effect, Halo, PGR etc.

[ben hates you]

if you like God of war you Might like Too human

[Vespertine]

Hope these do well in the US.

[Douchebaggery]

Realistically what are chance of that ever happening

edit- @william I'm big Disgaea fan but have you seen Operation Darkness that game intrigue me but imo it won't be a success in NA

[WilliamRLBaker]

You obviously have never played an atlus game, you know Odin sphere, Disgeae 1-3...all of which are amazing games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

they have a long list of games that all did pretty well over here.

[Silver360]

Unlike last generation this one looks like it will be stellar with such a diverse range of games to play on the 360.

[InMyOpinion]

Operation Darkness looks like a total failure so I hope Spectral Force 3 turns out better.

[binard328]

Didn't Atlus publish Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre? Think it would be kinda nice to see a refresher for that series. Not a full fledged sequel, but a decent strategy game in the likes of Disgaea would rule! Band of Bugs just doesn't cut it.

[Twizlex]

Yeah, they did. While I would very much like a new Ogre Battle, re-releasing the old ones on XBLA would be cool too.

[v1c1ous]

Now you sony fanboys won't be the definitive console of choice for repetetive, overdramatic RPGs with effiminate male leads with too much eyeshadow!

.
..
...

wait is this a good thing?

[Double-Edged]

ahh see..
this is it.

while the ps3 is finally starting to pick up steam.
The 360 has already attracted the 3rd parties like never before.
easy development and high attach rate.

Hardware sales??
how about attach rate because it's all about the games

[bootsielon]

"Hardware sales??
how about attach rate because it's all about the games "

If Wii wasn't beating your rrody console, you'd be saying otherwise.

We know this because you're obviously an Xbot.

[ParaDise_LosT]

Ogre Battle
for 360
I'm die of joy :D

[Twizlex]

For reals! I was disappointed when Tactics Ogre went all grid-strategy on us (still a great game though). A new Ogre Battle would kick so much ass. Maybe they could do another Steambot Chronicles too. That was a decent game that I think came too late for me because I had already moved on to next gen.

Maybe, if nothing else, they could just release the full version of Ogre Battle on Live Arcade. I'd totally spend 10 bucks for that bad boy.

[bootsielon]

Meaning that every game from Atlus coming to "next-gen", will be made for PS3. We all know that Microsoft is desperately talking into Japanese Devs to get a lot of timed exclusives (requiring extra investment from them). You know it's true, get real.

[ry-guy]

Except for the part where they are now an offically sanctioned Microsoft Xbox 360 producer. This translates to no announced exclusives for the Playstation 3.

In fact, check out their Wikipedia site. They have no announced projects for the Playstation 3. The Wii has two Trauma Center games all ready out and Draglade which does not have a publish date announced.

Xbox 360 now has these two exclusives announced from this article.
