isnt mass effect 3 rumored for 2011? or maybe it was 2012.. anyways there will most likely be a new left4dead


mass effect 2 is coming to ps3 :P. so their is no reason why mass effect 3 shoudnt be multiplat. and with valve developing portal 2 on the ps3 and saying its going to be the superior console version their is no reason why left4dead shoudnt be multiplat.


Thats the problem when you build a exclusive library based on 3th party devs, they need to buy studios and focus in hired developers to microsoft game studios, they are suffering now because right now the 3th partys are not in the mood to lose the PS3  potencialsales (almost 40 millions of users).

And right now they are doing the same, look their next projects Kingdome (Crytek), Gears 3 (Epic), X-com (2K).

x-com is also on pc. they also release crappy pc games like ninja blade, risen and dead something.

Have you even played Risen?  I have on 360 and it's pretty damn addictive.

Q4 10  for the 360: Fable 3 and Halo:Reach should be included on the exclusive games  list. 

Gears of War 3, Halo: Reach, Fable 3 are released within 6 months for the 360. PS3 has more games including Gran Turismo 5 and quite a few others. 360 has some good exclusive games to keep its gamers happy. 


Stop spinning things. A new year is a new year man.

Why not wait until you actually know what is coming out for the system in 2011 before rushing to judgment?


I hope you're right because if Microsoft pulls a 2010 E3 Nintendo-type conference with 2011 exclusives the same year they are announced then we're back in business. I dunno though.

Yay for jumping to conclusions 4 months before 2011 has even started. I have to admit that the 360's exclusive lineup for next year is a bit barren at the moment though.

My guess?

Gears of War 3. Confirmed release date.

XCOM. Projected release date: 2011. Could turn out to be a timed exclusive.

Kingdoms. It seems like MS wants this to be the next Gears of War. Probably a fall release.

New Turn10 project. FM in 05, FM2 in 07, FM3 in 09, new game in 2011? Probably a fall release.

Digital distribution. The 360 has been killing the competition this year with Game Room, PD XBLA, Toy Soldiers, PB Winterbottom, Limbo, Hydro Thunder, Monday Night Combat and a few others. I expect to see the same kind of support in 2011 as well.

There's also a few upcoming low key 360/PC releases such as Captain Blood, The Last Templar and Death to Spies III. I don't expect a lot from them, but you never know.


Most of those are TBA and most likely will be pushed back. 2011 is a hopeful date for XCOM. Gears in the only true title with a projected date.



The better question is why do 360 owners care?  As long as they have the top 2 (Halo, COD) games in the top genre (shooter), everything else becomes second rate or a waste of time.  Really, who's going to stop playing those to play KZ or anything else from the long list of wannabe Halo/COD killers?  The playercount numbers and sales speak for itself.



I know this is off topic, but given S.T.A.G.E. has often been fairly pro 360 and clearly likes the console why is he getting so much bashing for simply stating he's a little concerned about the currently known exclusives it'll receive in 2011?

His point is fair and at this time the known titles that are 100% 360 exclusive are very thin on the ground and there aren't even that many notable 360/PC exclusives at this point.

With Valve now commiting themselves to releasing on PS3, and Mass Effect franchise going multi-platform his concerns on exclusive support seem fair enough and he only asked whether others agreed wtih him or not - not to be attacked.

In a few months things might change, lot's of exclusives might be revealed, but right now his concern seems fair to me and I don't know why so many are responding as if he's launching some sort of stealth attack on the 360 because, at least IMHO, he's clearly not.

I'd say right now most new titles being shown or pushed are Kinect focused, we all know MS has less 1st party development capabilty than Nintendo or Sony and a number of former key 360/PC franchises developers are now going fully multiplatform (Valve and Bioware).

If you're not interested in Kinect - which he doesn't seem to be - I think it's fair to wonder whether you're going to get a few exclusives you might be interested in or whether you're going to get more than that.

As I noted I don't think having less exclusives will actually harm the 360 at this point - but that doesn't seem to be his focus, simply that he's worried that while he'll of course get all the big multi-platform titles as well as the key exclusives (Halo, Gears) there's not much else unique he can see on the horizon at this point.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
