Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft’s E3 presser to include Capcom, EA, Harmonix, Square, THQ, and Ubisoft reveals

cusman on 30 May 2012

The reason X360 is the preferred home of 3rd party games is because there isn't much competition from 1st party games. MS just makes sure it creates a few system sellers to make sure enough of its console sells and then focuses on the user and developer experience to ensure 3rd party games are best played on X360.

Microsoft’s Xbox E3 media briefing next week will include “world premieres” from Capcom, EA Sports, Harmonix, Square Enix, THQ, and Ubisoft, GameTrailers TV host Geoff Keighley has said in a new promo clip.

 

Another fighting game (or unveal of a title in a genre they don't have a successful franchise in), Madden, Dance Central 3, Final Fantasy, WWE title, and Assasin's Creed.  Even money, another angle is more Kinect.

Any top reveals that are of interest likely aren't going to be leaked, as far as partners doing it.

Capcom thing is likely just something solid on RE6.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

^do you think EA will make Fifa 13 Kinect required
always optional,and should be about voice control only
or maybe+something like write your face to your pro


did you even read what i wrote? i wrote: "sure i wouldn't have to play it with kinect but then it's only the announcement of the next fifa/madden which is nothing i need at e3^"

yes, i wouldn't have to play fifa 13 with kinect and could play it with controller but i don't want to have a media brief with games which release every year because if this will be one part of the media brief, there has to be really a lack of new games...who does need those games on the e3? it's enough if i read the review before release, i know we will get fifa 13,14,15...no media brief needed for this.

well,normally it would be:

peter moore:hi guys,madden&fifa will have kinect feature,bye!

 

just like last year MS&EA Sports already did that

and if it would be the pope, an useless announcement is an useless announcement. and if they do this every year, it's useless every year. as example if they will say "fifa now with kinect", that is something i expect on any day as announcement without a e3 needed. as little information in the summertime or so. it's only a games released every year now with a little bit kinect. (if it will be fifa or madden). but i hope they will announce something new, only made for kinect if it will be a kinect game. this would be nice.

New FF game for the 360? FF Versus XIII multiplatform? Kingdom Hearts 3 announced for Wii-U/PS3/Xbox360?

Cant wait to see the madness ;)


My thoughts exactly.

I'm going to go out on a limb and call Square's announcement will be FF Versus 13 on 360. The game has been in development hell for ages and to cover those costs Square is going to want more money than half the market can provide on just PS3.


Nope. It's Tomb Raider.


Nope, Even if FF V 13 doesn't go multiplatform at E3 it will eventualy go multiplatform. The engine is multiplatform and Square knows half the market is on Xbox 360. FF13 was the test. FF13-2 was the proof. FF V 13 will go multiplatform as well as all future FF games. The industry has changed and there is no longer a single platform that a 3rd party publisher can solely survive on.

Yeah the test to see that no one cares for Final Fantasy on the 360.
For example > Tales of got a huge boost cause Xillia was PS3 Exclusive and so would Final Fantasy.

FF13 - 4,90 PS3   compared to 1,87 on the 360....That was cause people still had hopes for Final Fantasy and didn't expect that the 360 would influence the PS3 Version so much.
FF13-2 -  1,90 Million PS3  compared to 450 000 on the 360 WORLDWIDE.
Cause people are angry at SquareEnix for favoring the 360 the whole Gen - Their HUGE Fanbase is on the PS3 and in Japan.
Look at Tales - It is now more loved than Final Fantasy cause Bamco has seen where the fanbase is.

And what was the proof?The PS3 Version outsells the 360 version by a huge mile even if Microsoft is buying up Deals and SquareEnix Bosses?
The only proof we have is that the REAL Fanbase starts to hate SquareEnix and starts to favor other J-RPGs.

Half the market doesn't mean anything if only 1% of half the market is interested.Cause those few % would buy a PS3 for that game.
And Versus 13 could sell 4 Million alone in Japan if its a PS3 Exclusive - Quote me on that if it stays an exclusive.
Japan has high hopes in Versus 13 and of course Nomura cause he LOVES the PS3 and hates the 360.This affects sales a lot in Japan and a little bit in Europe too.

It will be some Eidos game or a W-RPG attempt from SquareEnix that will be Multiplat anyway.

FF 13 on Xbox 360 made Square $112m. That's not chump change. Since Square is using a multiplatform engine and it takes very little effort to port their games now, it would be incedibly stupid to ignore that kind of profit. Not only does it increase profit, but it broadens exposure. Square fans may have stuck with Sony awaiting PS3 games, but that won't be the case in the future. Square will continue to reach for the largest mass of potential buyers as they can.

Oh and Square cut up and changed FF13 long before it was ported. The Xbox 360 port may have delayed the game, but it was already finalised. Anything wrong with the game would have been the same had it stayed a PS3 exlusive.
