Time to ditch Star Wars by the looks of it, fortunately there's Steel Battalion then coming as the potential big killer “app” for Kinect. Here's hoping that one turns out more fruitful, as hopes were also high for Star Wars, but I think it looks like that's gone to the dogs now.
I'll dabble in some Halo 4 as well, rather miffed at the omission of 3D though seeing as it was well implemented in Halo Anniversary.
Halo 4 IS Micrsoft's ace in the hole this year and WOW does it already look like it's going to be phenominal start to the new trilogy.
The big suprise this year IMO has been how XBLA is turning into something bigger than it ever has with Alan Wake just releasing all the way to Kinect titles like Crimson Dragon.
The key with Kinect is that there is plenty of support from both first and 3rd party with Fable: The Journey and Steel Battalion taking the lead.
Sprinkle these with what is already looking like a packed year for major multi-plat titles and you have a solid balanced year on all fronts.
E3 already looks like it's going to be one of the best.
why would he have to be a robot or speaking PR babble cause he like halo or steel batalion. he isn't saying anything different than a lot of sony owners say about every exclusive sony announces weather they be good or bad.
maybe it's you that needs to take a break from being a fanboy and have some respect for what people like weather it be something you agree with or not.
Star Wars doesn't look that bad, but not near as fun as Steel Battalion. I still think that PS3 has the best line up for 2012. I want an IP that is going to knock my socks off like Gears did when it came out. Halo 4 will shape up nicely and I think that 343 will breathe some life into a franchise that was starting to feel stale in terms of direction. I thought that the XBLA had a strong showing with some pretty sweet titles coming.
Two years ago there was a lie at E3: "this is Kinect and you core gamers will like it". A year ago there was a lie at E3: "this is Kinect again and you'll see core games coming soon, it needs to mature". Now I don't listen to MS anymore.
EVILDEAD360 I have to agree with you on this. Kinect is just what MS needed to open the console up to everyone. They also needed to focus the device at the none core at the start so it got its name as a all round console. It has now done that and we are now starting to see the core games come for the 360.
Wow. Evil, you gave some factual information and Pixl wants to block you? Really? If this is the kind of box people live in I am afraid of our future...
@Fishermenofwar: Just because Mass Effect is multiplatform, doesn't mean it's not one of the biggest franchises on 360. Are you suggesting that Call of Duty isn't one of the biggest franchises on the PS3 despite the three best selling games on the console being from that franchise... because the game is also out on PC/360?
'You sound like an advertisement from the Dashboard. Now, how can I block you?'
And you sound like called on your false statement and can't handle the truth..typical fan kids.
@ Fish
'Umm you do know its Multiplatform right....Just saying....Its not a 360 Franchise.'
Umm you do know that the original Mass Effect was published by Micrsoft gaming studios for the 360.
The original game is still a console exclusive and the 360 is the only console where you can play the full trilogy. Mass Effect 2 was on the 360 a year prior to it becoming a multi-plat.
Which WHY I say Mass Effect is one of the biggest core franchises in 360 history.
im a 360 only gamer and have had it from day one...and don't get me wrong i've had a blast,but...
please please please give us some new ip microsoft.this year is looking decent enough.halo 4 especially.but show us what all these new studios are up to? especially twisted pixel.hopefully you're giving them a decent budget for something epic and not just another xbla title (as good as they have been,i just feel its time for something bigger)
also XBLA is looking more interesting than retail at this point.
on another note have microsoft themselves created any new ip this gen??gears was epic,alan wake was remedy,crackdown was real time worlds??can't think of any other new ip this gen? come to think of it have they ever created any ip..halo was bungie,fable was lionhead.
anyway correct me if im wrong,im a big supporter of my 360,but i just want some new exclusive ip to get excited about.
can you help with that please microsoft?
im kinected you seem to know your shit,maybe you can help me.you think they'll announce any new ip soon?
If you a 360 only gamer than why would it matter if MS creates or publishes every IP they own or not.
Why would it matter who makes new IPs if you only own a 360. Are saying that you only play exclusives or do you play all games.
Because if you play games than are you saying you missed all the new IPs that come out in droves all year long. Last year we had the Bulletstorms and LA Noires. On XBLA you had a huge list as well. Plus the IPs that are on Kinect.
Why would it matter if Remedy creates Alan Wake..it's still a new IP and a 360 exclusive.
i bought both bulletstorm and la noire actually and many many more multiplatform games.both were great games by the way.
But its nice to know that your playing games that you can't get anywhere else and besides for how successful xbox has been these past few years why shouldnt we be treated with some new ip or even some ip that just isnt halo,gears,fable and forza.
your telling me you wouldnt like more and different exclusives games?
and i never said it mattered i was merely asking?but it does make u wander what new ip they are going to create if they havent created any in 10 years??
anyway stop being such a fanboy and just see what i said was a constructive criticism to microsoft.
ive been on live for nearly 9 years...had a ps2 .but never bothered with a ps3.

I'm always a bit skeptical of Kinect stuff, but if Steel Battalion is as good as it sounds I may have to give it a shot.

imo pc has the best line up this year but 360 is gaining some ground just be nice if ms announced a new ip.
