1 hour away, what will Microsoft say?

Let's see who can get the most predictions right: Both safe and unlikely. Lets see who's the ultimate predicter :)

My Predictions (both likely and unlikely), in order of likelyhood:

  1. Ninja Blade release date announced before March 2009
  2. Mass Effect release date announced before February 2009
  3. Star Ocean 4 gameplay trailer with March 2009 release date
  4. Rock Band announced as exclusive/time exclusive to Japan
  5. Last Remnant announced as exclusive
  6. Cry-On trailer from Mistwalker
  7. New Mistwalker IP announced
  8. Nippon Ichi IP announced...Launches within 6 months
  9. Final Fantasy XIII announced for Japan, day & date with PS3 version
  10. Final Fantasy XIIIv announced for X360
  11. Spin-Off Final Fantasy announced exclusively for X360
  12. New Tri-Ace IP (Radiata Stories 2 or like) announced for X360
  13. Nippon Ichi IP announced...Launches within 6 months
  14. Kingdom Hearts 3 announced for X360...Timed exclusive
  15. Final Fantasy VII announced for X360...Multi-Plat

I think that's it for now.

Whats blanked is a no. 

FYI: I'm not arguing all 15 items are likely. Nothing is really a lock...It's all about likelyhood. The further down the list, the far more unlikely I see it in my mind.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Yep, I got that. But I still had to do it for the sake of the thread lol.

LR exclusive though? 5's too high for that.

I'm not making any predictions, but I'd like to remind you that we already know that Bungie's revealing something.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

TLR exclusivity is the "Stickball exclusive" - I'm calling it out because things have just seemed too fishy for me as of late - They're bundling it. The PS3 version gets delayed, ect. I think Microsoft may pull a trick or two to get it as an exclusive - but possibly a Resident-Evil or Symphonia exclusive in the way that it's only getting made for the X360....Then put on the PS3 at a much later undisclosed date, and announced after TLR has had it's effect on the market.

See, the thing is, I don't think that Microsoft has any other "top tier" game for Nov/Dec in Japan outside of TLR, and maybe Banjo & Kazooie + Fable (and neither are going to sell anywhere near TLR). Because of that, MS needs a real hardware mover that Blue Dragon was 2 years ago. And last year, MS had AC6, Dynasty Warriors and Lost Odyssey...

That is, unless MS gets Cry-On for a suprise 08 release date, or another notable IP.

What time does this thing get going EST?

Dragon Quest 10 on the 360? Well microsoft said they could have afforded FF13 as an exclusive but they didn't want to pay for it. Maybe thats because they spent all the money on dragon quest? Thats pure speculation and its obviously not going to happen lol.

A dragon quest would have to be bundled ridiculously, it'd be funny to watch.

JaggedSac - It just started. Check out Kotaku or Major Nelson's blog.
