Forums - Microsoft Discussion - List of Xbox 720 Rumored Games

IGN

The Xbox 720, or Project Durango, has not been confirmed by Microsoft, but next-gen games have been confirmed in various manners by developers and other sources. This page contains a list of likely Xbox 720 games with sources for each.

Next-Gen Call of Duty Developer Infinity Ward posted a job listing on its site calling for a senior animator "with experience in game development and an interest in working with next-generation technologies." [1]

Bethesda Game A job listing on Bethesda's site calls for "experienced programmers to work on cutting-edge technology for an unannounced game on future-generation consoles." [2]

Ready at Dawn Next-Gen Gam e The developers of the God of War PSP games are developing "an exciting new AAA IP for a Next-Generation home console game system." [3]

Next-Gen Sonic Game Sega notes that Sonic "won't become photo-real" in next-gen games and that he "will always remain stylized and will have that bright, colorful world. What the high hardware spec will allow us to do is make that more convincing." [4]

THQ Next-Gen Games THQ CEO Brian Farrell believes development for next-gen consoles offers "a tremendous amount of opportunity." [5] 

After THQ's 2013 financial woes, the status of these games remain unknown.

Square-Enix "Luminous" Games Square-Enix is showing off its "Luminous" tech engine, capable of highly realistic next-gen graphics. Luminous will make games 30% cheaper and shorten development cycles. [6]

Crytek Next-Gen Game Perhaps Homefront 2 or TimeSplitters 4? Crytek was the company that originally outed the Xbox 720's Durango codename.[7]

Lionhead Studios Next-Gen Game The studio (sans Molyneux) has been on the lookout for programmers with experience using the Unreal Engine, and "significant experience leading teams designing and implementing modern rendering engine." Example given is DirectX11, which is rumored to be compatible with the Xbox 360's successor. [8]

Remedy 'Future-Gen' Game Alan Wake developer Remedy posted on its community forums that it is hiring more than 20 people for work on a game for "future generation consoles." [9]

This is some "you don't say" level list
lol IGN,as usual



Please Lionhead, Black and White 3 simultaneous release on 720 and PC. There is so much opportunity for improvement with that series.



I can safely say there likely will be a Madden and Fifa next gen game coming... you heard it first here!



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

CoD = Likely, but will release on current consoles aswell.
RaD next-gen game = Something to look out for but multiplatform no doubt.
Next-gen Sonic game = I'm even scared to think about it given how "sonic the hedgehog"reboot turned out. Will be multi-platofrm no doubt.
THQ next-gen: LOL not gonna happen at launch. We dont even know if they will still be in business by then.
Square - enix: Im sure they have stuff under development, but given FFXIVAAR delays, i doubt anything will release at launch. Unless it comes from Eidos, at wich point its not the luminous engine.
Crytek: Very possible.
Lionhead: No doubt its Fable 4. And the most probable reason why Peter Molyneux left he company (force to pump out fable's). Will it be rushed or a moneygrab like Fable 3 though?
Remedy: Likely Alan Wake 2. Sounds good.


So, we can ssume Fable 4 and Alan wake 2 for launch, wich isnt too bad. Rest will be ports or multi-platform.



Around the Network

what about Bungie's Project destiny? That is basically confirmed to be a 360 game, probably even at least timed exclusive.
What about Black Tusk, Rare, Lionhead, 343i, Turn10, MS Victoria games that are all working on "next gen AAA games" according to job ads?

What about Respawn Studios (former Infinity Ward guys) who are working on a new action game as well?

There are way more rumors than this very short list



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

See, that's the one I really don't buy.  Since when does Activision make their core IPs exclusive to one console?  They've never done it with Call of Duty, Guitar Hero (when it was around), or Skylanders.  I just don't see it happening.  It's going to burn all the PS3/ PS4 owners, and they make up like 40% of the HD hardcore market.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

An activision game exclusive to 1 console? yeah right

Bungie's next game will be available on nearly every platform possible, activsion isn't stupid.

Destiny #1 is being made for Xbox 360 and XBox 720(Fall 2013), a PS3 version will be considered if it is financially viable for release in Fall 2014.(1 year after the 360 and 720 versions.)

Well if that's how it turns out, Microsoft must have paid them a pretty penny to get that deal.  Whew!  I want to see Jack Tretton's face when he sees the first Destiny trailer at E3 and there aren't any PS logos at the bottom of the screen.
