Sounds like great news for 360 fans to me, how is this negative?


i fail to see it either. all microsoft said is that there would be plenty of titles for something that cost them 150 bucks, so thats good right?

they didnt say the titles would be casual games so i'm guessing the xbox360 fans acusing the poster of trolling based on the fact that he's a ps3 fan are being defensive cause they just dont like kinect?

it's the only way to understand these reactions, we all know that the xbox360 will have non-kinect games coming next year.

If I remember correctly, around TGS this year, MIcrosoft made a statement about releasing more core games in 2011 for the Kinect, which included many of the games that were in their TGS presentation...I could be wrong about that though because it was a few months ago that I remembered hearing it.

there were like 5 games announced i just dont know if their release window is 2011

Not at all, it always amuses me how pro PS3/fans always post negative news as if they're concerned though ^^

It amuses me even more that you seem to think that 360 fans (or even Wii fans) don't do the same...

^_^  >_<

Don't I? Your amusement is false.

To be honest, Seece. Some of your comments (not in this thread) showed that you sometimes clearly aim your arguments against PS3 fans or PS3 games (just like "mostly PS3 games get overhyped"), but I guess I assumed too much here. So... sorry.

About that "posting negative things" stuff: if PS3 fans didn't post negative news about MS, and if 360 fans didn't post negative news about Sony, then we wouldn't have negative news at all on VGChartz. And by looking at this thread you'll see that the first aggressive and unreasonable comment was made by kowen, a 360 fan (and that's also what derailed the thread). Instead of having a good discussion he attacks MUGEN/PS3 fans for no good reason. He was banned for his comment, absolutely justified. Some people are just too sensitive regarding negative news about their console of choice.

We had more than enough troll threads in the past which were made by all types of fans; but this thread hasn't really anything to do with trolling/bias against MS. It's not even negative..., just look at the article again and tell me what's negative about that: "As for the future, we've got a brilliant line-up for 2011 but it's ultimately all about Kinect."

I don't EVER troll PS3 or PS3 games, the reason I come off as anti PS3 is because I root for 360 so much sales wise. Shoudl take a closer look at my post history and don't cherry pick 1 or 2 posts out of every 1000.

The negative news is usually, not even worth posting, and is only posted by certain individuals to get a rise out of people. Just like I said before, it's ruining the community.

And to the guy that gave an example of a 360 guy trolling PS3 and posting negative news, yes there are 360 fans that do the same and I wish they didn't, but one example does not come close to the amount of PS3 fans that unfortunately do it.

The negative spin here is that the 360 will have no core game line up (or little) and will be focused on Kinect. Obviously a negative for the type of 360 fans here wouldn't you say?



 

Honestly I see both sides on this one, I think both arguments are completely legit. I like how the one poster said if PS3 owners and 360 owners didn't post negative shit then there wouldn't be any posted at all, lol, that's actually true. I can see how posting this article could be an attempt at the stealth even though I didn't take it that way at all. I suppose if it was a stealth attack then it's better that it didn't work on me, flipped the script on the kid without even knowing it. I can also totally see this being a case where the hardcore 360 crowd are reading way too much into things. Perhaps a little insecure about what the 360 has in the pipeline for next year. Hell I'll admit that even though MS has the reputation of not announcing everything real early, I'm a little bit suspicious of 2011 (only a little though). I will say that I'm certain that stealth bullshit goes on in the MS forums quite often. I can't speak from experience on the Nintendo and PS3 forums because I have never, not once been to either but I'm sure the same thing happens there. No way to know really what the intent of the OP was, I guess the best anyone could do would to be look at the poster's history. 



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

1. Cherry picking? What does it matter? You said that and it was nonsense, even if it was just 2-3 posts...

2. Not worth posting? So you only want to hear good news and ignore the bad ones? Hell, I'm a Sony fan and even I want to hear bad Sony news from time to time. It's not like the world is full of sunshine every day (I hope you understand what I mean...)

3. Let's wait for the next shipped numbers. I assure you we will have hundreds of "Sony does teh OVERSHIPPPZZZZ!" threads again. Then you'll see what trolling really is...

4. That's just an assumption. The article doesn't say anything about casual Kinect titles...

 

Don't get wrong here, trolling is bad, and I wish some people would stop with it. But this thread is NOT trolling in any way.

1. Cherry picking? What does it matter? You said that and it was nonsense, even if it was just 2-3 posts...

I didn't say all PS3 games were, and what i said doesn't reflect the games quality or what they sold, just that I thought some games were massively overhyped.

2. Not worth posting? So you only want to hear good news and ignore the bad ones? Hell, I'm a Sony fan and even I want to hear bad Sony news from time to time. It's not like the world is full of sunshine every day (I hope you understand what I mean...)

Again I already said, most of the news isn't even that, it's crappy blog postings.

3. Let's wait for the next shipped numbers. I assure you we will have hundreds of "Sony does teh OVERSHIPPPZZZZ!" threads again. Then you'll see what trolling really is...

As long as you can come up with evidence they overship, what's the problem? I admit those shouting it without an ounce of evidence should shut up

4. That's just an assumption. The article doesn't say anything about casual Kinect titles...

Kinect = casual to the core crowd.

1. Well, you can't really judge that, simply because you haven't played these games. But you already had a discussion about this with CGI as far as I know, so I don't want to start another one again.

2. But the news in this thread isn't, so there's nothing to complain about.

3. What "evidence" is there? The only "evidence" could be that shipped numbers differ too much from the ones we have on VGC, and this could also mean that we're undertracking it. I goes both ways, so this isn't an evidence at all. But you know, we have these stupid threads every single quarter, how many times can Sony overship? (I don't want to defend those who constantly scream for adjustments, btw.).

4. Ummm, yes. That's probably the case. But if you look again you'll see that no one made a comment like "OMG, MS only has casual stuff for 2011!!" Until kowen came in this thread it was peaceful, he turned this thread into a hate thread.

But anyway, we are completely off-topic. We should put an end to this.

The reality is that such patterns actually encourage more stealth trolling.  It's usually played innocently enough that it gets a pass but is potent enough to stir stuff up.  Take a look at the most recent WW thread for a textbook example of that in play (even though the instigator allegedly got a warning).

Now had you said "instigators", I'd totally agree with your comment.

Knock yourself out (in case you haven't figured it out, extagenesis was also warned but not banned).

The truth is, the people responding didn't handle the situations too well, and got what they deserved.

It's funny. It's like middle school all over again, where one person insults/punches someone and he insults/punches back, but gets caught, and busted.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I think the 360 will get a huge boost in sales from tapping into the non-gamer market. This is if the line-up is made up of simulation games or games that have benefit other than entertainment.



What I want from a game.

Gameplay > Story > Content > Graphics

Visual Style > Graphics

Smooth Camera, Intuitive Controls

Friction! When everything feels right!

Well looking at the 2011 lineup something is lacking for pre-orders on Amazon/GS - Kinect games. So far the only three big games listed - Children of Eden, Forza 4 (which I'm assuming will control using Kinect and a standard controller) and the new Star Wars Kinect only game. I know Steel Battalian and that flying dragon game (what was it? Similiar to Panzer Dragoon) will be out, but really thats not enough games for an ancessory that will sell 7 million by sometime in 2011.

If you guys thought last E3 was bad because of Kinect wait till this E3 - I bet every game requires Kinect or atleast uses Kinect for a majority of the experience.

My ONLY hope is MS allows hybrid controls so people who don't have Kinect can still play the game.



It's just that simple.
