Forums - Microsoft - What's the big 360 game for 09?

Every year people say that X360 doesn't have any big game next year. One year ago we didn't knew that GEOW 2 would release in 08 so a lot can happen. Halo wars also have the option to be huge.

Do they really a game that huge?

Sony has yet to come up with a game as big as Gears 1/2 or Halo 3 since the PS3 launched. I doubt Killzone 2 will be as big as you think it is.

By the way, like what CAL4M1TY said, they've generally been holding off on their announcements until they need them. One reason many Sony fans think they're in the best position (in terms of future game library) is because nearly all their future titles are already announced. MS and Nintendo have been keeping their future titles a secret.



There's hardly anyone talking about Killzone except a few Sony fans.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

 

Nothing announced yet is Gears 2 level...

However, was anything on the PS3 this year Gears 2 level popularity-wise, that wasn't a multiplat?

Next year, there are supposedly surprises for the 360.

Right now we're looking at some PC360 games like Huxley and Alan Wake, and a couple of Halo spinoffs, like Recon and Halo Wars.

That said, I wouldn't count out Microsoft's ability to pwn Sony with money.

MS: 360 surprises coming in 2009, most not announced

UK gaming boss says there's 'lots of great stuff' coming in 2009 that people 'don't know about'.

Xbox 360 owners can look forward to plenty of surprise titles in 2009, most of which haven't been announced, Microsoft has said.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com in an interview to be published later this week, Microsoft's UK head of gaming and entertainment Stephen McGill said that there was "lots of great stuff" coming in 2009 that people "don't know about".

 

 

We didn't know about Gears till this year.

Hey watch out though we have MGS4 pretty much on the verge of outselling Gears 1 with -5 mill userbase. Be careful now.

Gears has sold 5.3 million units, MGS4 has sold 3.4 million units. How is that on the verge of anything?

Vg chartz is undertracking MGS4 by a mill and overtracking gears by like 500k this from Konami and Epics mouths.

Sounds bogus to me. I'm fairly sure you're referring to the SHIPPED figures of MGS4, and the magazine snippets claiming that Gears has "almost 5m sold!" or whatever.

I'd assume if you had a valid, non-vague link with any sort of proof, you would've posted it already.

Until then, I'll chalk it up as a Sony fan wish/hope claim, which is what this entire thread amounts to actually.

 

Here's a tip. You should stop making anti-360 thread, when you are obviously in the tank for the PS3. At least until you've built up a little rep for yourself around here.

In 06 they has Gears one, in 07 Halo 3 and obviously Gears 2(and lest you forget fable 2) for 08. But for 2009 I can't think of a single mega hit game of that caliber comming out on 360(list down below). All I hear is Killzone! Killzone! Killzone! I mean Killzone 2 looks to be THE game of 2009(until your dreams come shattering down ). Where is the big X-box 360 exclusive? I can't think of anything offhand.

 

Alan Wake/ Mass Effect 2/ Halo 3 Recon/ Halo Wars (which will be kind of a sad game too, since it's gonna be ensemble studios' last hurrah)

I really Hope Alan Wake is the beggining of something fantastic though.

And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.
