Forums - Microsoft - Eurogamer: MS to announce at least 10 new IPs at E3

Jazz2K said:


1 - I doubt that but I could be wrong. I'm not that much into Microsoft, it just happens this generation I only have a 360. If Sony releases a great game then good I will get to play it later at some friend's place there's no need for me to keep comparing line ups again and again.

You are wrong, most in this thread that are negative are very Pro-MS and have been for as long as I can remember. 

2 - Why being disapointed? They're supposed to announce 10 new ips, sequels to loved games and maybe more then there's the third party games and maybe some more... what exactly do you want?

10 new IPs on Kinect? How many people own Kinect?  (At a minimum they are leaving a majority of non-Kinect owners hanging out to dry). Then you need to be concerned If they are even full-fledged titles with tons of value associated.  Generally as we have seen with the Motion control movement (Tons and Tons and Tons of Shovelware, regardless of the console). 

Third party games are always there (They don't count as an advantage regardless of console.)

These are third and fourth sequels to loved games.  I'm sorry the luster is gone (Atleast with this current hardware).  What else are you going to buy though?


3 - Why bring Sony? Good for those who have a PS3. Just because Sony releases more first party games doesn't make them better games. They could release a milion exclusive each year only 2-3 of them are worth.

The thing is, by having a diverse exclusive lineup, they not only have more chances to hit with success, they have a greater chance to strike joy within every sect of their ownership/fanbase.  Sorry to say it, but if you don't like Forza,Halo, or Gears you're pretty much screwed.

 

"Core" gamers care more about the quantity of exclusive more than the quality of them. This year they might have a lot of exclusives but except for Uncharted 3, Killzone3 and maybe Infamous 2 tell me what's so compelling about their lineup? And guess what, they're sequels also just like Gears Forza and Halo.

Core gamers care most about the quality of overall lineups with games that have their interests in mind.

I'm not going to get into a list war with you, but we all know that the PS3 has more compelling releases to date across various genres for 2011. 

  And yes they are sequels (As I mentioned above) Gears is working on it's third game (And has notoriety for it's fun multi-player), Uncharted is similar also working on it's third game but Uncharted has notoriety for it's fun Single-player.)   In essence, Uncharted needs , more sequels because for many people once you beat the single player campaign, it's over. 

Forza is working on it's third release with a possible MMO-ish 4th.  A good series but hard to justify making 4 purchases of the same game (In my eyes).

And Halo has been the worst offender thus far.  Halo 3,Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Halo Reach.  There isn't a PS3 IP on it's 4th iteration this generation that I can think of.


You guys make a fuss about Microsoft releasing more iterations of their franchise and keep praising the competition's way but hey Ninty and Sony keep rehashing old games here and there and bringing their handheld games to console if that's not milking then tell me what is.

 They all re-hash their franchises.  I'm not bashing MS for doing this.  It's the extent at which they have done so. If you're not a little Halo'd, Gears, Forza'd out by now, I think there is something wrong.  They need to come up with some new IPs to get you excited for next generation and bring out new Gears, Halo, etc

Sony has a few like Resistance, Uncharted, Motorstorm.  But they also have many more exclusive titles to release simultaneously with these milked Sony franchises.  Where as Microsoft makes these milked franchises their mantlepiece.

That kind of answers the "What am I going to play with Kinect?" question. Now I'm annoyed the only non-Kinect game we have is Gears, ewwwww. Hopefully Ninty has some good announcements or I'll be lacking in exclusives the rest of the year. meh 

You don't HAVE to be lacking exclusives the rest of the year :P.

You could join the Trey brotherhood.

Oh I see, your a member of that "PS3 haz no gamez" crew.

What happened to ElPresador? I miss that guy, he was hilarious.

So basically you are saying that both the Wii and the XBOX 360 have better exclusives than the PS3 this year and next year?

Nothing wrong with splashing out on both, I can assure you that you could find at least a few games worth playing on the PS3.

When did I say that? 

And I have had a PS3 for two years, haven't bought a new game for it in like six months. Out of the 13 games I own, 4 are multi, 1 is a port, 2 are PSN games I had to import, 1 came with my console, and that only leaves 4 exclusives in two years that I thought were worth buying. 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D 

So, apart from Kinect games there is Forza 4, sandbox Forza (?) and Halo remake. Not so hot IMHO... But we don't know yet what MS may have ready, I hope they realise they can't keep the 360 alive with just Kinect.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

They need some core Kinect games. I've been on the fence for Kinect and none of the games out now appeal to me.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E
