On topic, let's not forget Tears of Blood, LA Noire and the new Rockstar game. I've also heard rumors that Team ICO are developing 2 games: Shadow of the Colossus 2 and an entriely new game.

Also, I haven't been here long but I'm guessing Starcraft is a big 360 fan, correct?

We haven't heard much about LA Noire lately. Last I heard it was rumoured to be going multiplatform. I hope ICO is working on a SotC2, because that would be AWESOME!!!

And yes, I'm a fan, but absolutely not a fanboy. Read back over the thread, and see which side of the argument was logical and measured, and which side was emitting copious amounts of flames.

 

The multiplatform thing was just Surfer Girl specualtion, I heard R* wanted to use up an entire Blu-Ray disc, so I doubt we'll see a 360 version. I've also heard that SotC2 will have a multiplayer mode, if that's true- GOTY 2009 confirmed!

I'd rather stay out of this argument everyone's having but I don't agree with your first comment- GoW3 and FF13 never had 2008 release dates, so technically they aren't really delayed. You also said "Now the games are all coming in 2009" which is hardly true. What about MGS4? Tekken 6? Resistance 2? Motorstorm 2? LBP? SOCOM? PS3 has 2008 won with those games if you ask me. And 2009 is looking equally awesome!

Edit: Also, a new Syphon Filter is coming out next year!

 

HOW DA.......cough...lol.

At the risk of depriving this thread of what little dignity it has left, I will not take up the delaystation issue with you.

We've not seen any real benefit to Blu-Ray so far. By that I mean, there isn't a single example of a comparable (mulitplatform) game being limited by DVD or a third party saying that a game cannot be done on the 360 because Blu-Ray is required. As such, if L.A. Noire remains exclusive, I'm sure it will be for financial reasons (moneyhatting) rather than technical reasons.

But I agree that Sony has a far stronger line-up this year than they did last year, but you only need to check out the 360 exclusives thread to see that Sony is far from "winning" the year.

 


Of course multiplat games have yet to be restricted by DVD. They're designed with DVD in mind from the get go.

Once the 360 gets a game that has no installs, no loading whatsoever, and looks as good as Uncharted, then I'll say that Blu-Ray matters little. Because of the intensive streaming that Uncharted has (uncompressed textures being read right off the disc), it looks gorgeous. Mass Effect, for comparison, has problems with texture loading, on top of normal load times.

And I don't doubt that disc limitations are the direct cause of Mass Effect's bland and repetitive planets.  Back in February of '07 the developers mentioned that they were struggling to fit the game on a single DVD,  and I'd assume things were cut to make that happen.

From Joystiq:

During a Q&A update, project director Casey Hudson confirmed that Mass Effect "is a monstrous game. In fact, there was a time -- not too long ago -- when we pretty much scoffed at the idea of fitting onto one disc. But, there's an art to optimizing the data that goes on a disc"; Mass Effect will fit onto a single disc -- "but just barely.

Mass Effect is a great game, but how much better would it be had BioWare had a larger storage medium?

i'll say it again and again. the 360 had the best lineup of '07, yet it only sold 400k more consoles than the ps3, which had the worst lineup of '07, when the prices were ridiculous for the better half of that year. now, the ps3 has a comparable (if not, better) lineup to the 360's at a cheaper price point than it was last year.

now tell me, who is most likely to shift more sales and gain the most momentum this year? and they still have games left over for '09 too! Proven franchises at that!

 considering his entire post was in reference to the 360 and the ps3, i'd say this is trolling.

 I'm pretty sure MS sold 7.3 million 360's last year and Sony sold 8.8 million PS3's.

No offence to VGchartz but I think Sony and Microsoft's official numbers are more reliable:

Yeah, but it was the best I could find. This was pretty huge news, considering the perceived failure of the PS3 in 2007, did you really not hear about it?
