The old "MS leaves everything to the last minute" myth again. I hope we get Alan Wake 2.

Myths usually aren't proven every year. I would have thought after the last 5 years people know M$ dont upset their fans.

Alan Wake was announced in 2005 at E3, it released in 2010.

Fable 2 was announced in 2006 and was then released in 2008.

Lost Odyssey was shown at TGS 06 and was released in 2008

Blue Dragon was announced in Feburary of 05 and was then released later in December 06.

Mass Effect was announced in 2005 and released in 2007.

Halo Reach was announced in June of 2009 and it was released over a year later in September of 2010.

Halo 3 was announced in June of 2006 and released over a year later in 2007.

Too Human for the 360 was announced in 2005 and was released in 2008.

Spinter Cell: Conviction was announced in 2007 and was released in 2010.

Fable 3 was announced in August in 2009 and was released over a year later in October in 2010.

Mass Effect 2 was released a year after it's announcement.

Gears of War 3 was announced in April of 2010 and it's being released well over a year later in September of 2011.

I can probably find more, but basically, it's a myth. Just because Microsoft have the announcement and then release it shortly after a few times (Forza 3, Gears 2, Viva Pinata), it doesn't mean that the vast majority of their releases aren't announced a full year or more before they release.


/argument*

Lol not really man since thats not what this thread is about.

*fixed

Doobie Wop pretty much explained the situation with Microsoft releasing titles shortly after E3.

L4D2,announced at E3 2010

This is also another myth that 360 fans seem to enjoy throwing around. There are plenty of 360 fans on this site, I've noticed that the majority of new members (like yourself) are 360 fans. Do you know why there are barely any threads about the 360? Because nothing is happening, so there are going to be less 360 related posts. The 360 isn't dominating in sales, there is no multi-million dollar law suit battle going on between them and a hacker, there are no exclusives that have been released, none of their developers have been talking and there is just nothing to really argue or talk about. The majority of new news on the 360 has been about the Kinect and not everyone cares or are interested in Kinect.

When the 360 was outselling everyone world wide for a few months, when Halo: Reach came out, when Rare was cutting art staff, when the TGS Kinect were announced and when Crysis 2 comparisons were released, the 360 fans came out of the woodwork and then you notice how many members there are, but they just have nothing of interest to post about mot of the time.

You can only talk about the 'possible' exclusives that are coming up so many times until it becomes boring. This site has more 360 fans than we think, which is something that I've realised by looking in the Crysis 2 comparison threads and the Live vs PSN threads. Get over it.

It's not that there are no 360 fans on this board, it's just that they are heavily outnumbered by Playstation fans and it shows in most of the threads, no matter which section of the forums you are in.

On a different topic not related to the above post, let's not forget that one of the reasons the PS3 has so many exclusives in the early part of this year is because of games being delayed from holiday 2010.

I probably play just as many 360 games as anyone else in this thread, that includes every big or semi big exclusive since 2007, but I favour the PS3, does that mean that I automatically shouldn't have an opinion on the upcoming releases or lack of upcoming releases for my 360?

Also, the first Left 4 Dead was announced in 2006 and released in 2008. Left 4 Dead 2 barely had a year to even develop the game, let alone announce it. They aren't going to release a game and then instantly announce a sequel for the next year.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Yeah, so take those 2 off and what are the big AAA Sony exclusives for 2011?

Killzone 3

Uncharted 3

Resistance 3

Infamous 2

Possibles:

Last Guardian

Twisted Metal

Great lineup for sure, but I think Microsoft will end up matching them, especially when it comes to sales. 

Personally the only one I'll be playing out of those is Last Guardian and out of the MS exclusives we know about for this year (aside from Kinect titles) it'll be Forza 4.  The rest of my purchases will be multi-plats (Skyrim, ME3).

I know Microsoft doesn't always wait until E3 to show their hand, but I think this year will be one of those years since I think they really wanted to focus on Kinect during the second half of last year.  I really do expect them to have a big E3 this year.

/thread

are ypu guys really that shortsighted?

  • Kinect Sports announced June 2010, released November 2010
  • Kinectimals same
  • Dance Central same
  • YourShape same
  • Forza Motorsport announced June 2009 released October 2009
  • Left 4 Dead 2 announced June 2009 released November 2009
  • Rise of Nightmares announced September 2010 release Summer 2011 (less than a year)

I am sooo tired of all this "OMG MS has No GamEZzZz for 2011". I don't even get why people are only talking about calender years. Microsoft had a shitload exclusive games from September to december last year. Heck, they are still getting DLC and patches.

Actually what Sony is doing now is playing catch-up due to their lackluster holiday 2010 lineup.

And everytime a multiplat games sells better on the 360 like Dragon Age II, Homefront, Crysis 2 or Bulletstorm people try to convince me that PS3 users are saving their money for [random exclusive game]. I just don't get it.

BTT:

I think we will see 2 Rare games, 1 Lionhead game, 1 343 game and probably some games made by independent developers like Remedy, Crytek or whatever.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

GuiltySpartan77 on 03 April 2011

Im not going to predict just do to the fact is that you don't know what they will do. if we did know they wouldn't have a huge event over what they will announce. But i do agree i hope there is a lost odyssey 2



D-Joe on 03 April 2011

well you know 2nd half of 2011 only need one more 360 non-kinect game,Sep-Gears 3,Oct-Forza 4,Nov-kingdoms(maybe), then will be okay

for kinect game,we already know Rise of Nightmares coming August,let's just wait other TGS2010 titles

Many of their fans seemed upset after 2010's Kinect centric E3.


who was upset? The only ones that were verbal about it were non ms fans. Ms fans seemed happy. Kingdoms was shown up and we saw many things. Dont speak for everyone
