Ninja Gaiden was only officially announced 9 months before it came out, so I don't get how it was hyped since 2005.

The announcement that NG2 was coming out was in late 2007:

I think people just assume a game is being made and then call that the game being announced.

NOOOOOO YOUVE CAUGHT THE J MAN!!!!!!!

The J man is very scared of the 360's line up and the shitness of it.

Every morning, the J man crys himself to sleep praying that the 360 will have a better line-up but it never happens.

It happened last year , with the 360 getting the most AAA games but THATS NOT ENOUGH because ps3 fanboys keep shoving the SAME list of SUPER AWESOME GAMES THAT ARE GUARANTEED AAA games that will appear in 2006...no..2007....no....2008.....no...2009!!!!!

The J man is afraid ,VERY AFRAID!!!

 

 

Not according to IGN AU because they matter

http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/937/937162p4.html

Gametrailers also...

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43916.html

 

OK the J man will end this......

Metacritics (you know average score of alot of reviews instead of one persons review) doesnt agree........ anything else?

 

 

 Yes, there is something else. Where's the link showing a list of metacritic scores for both ps3 and 360 exclusive games of 2008?

You that lazy? Its takes like 2 clicks to get the info.

 

Please read again. Where's the link showing a list of metacritic scores for both ps3 and 360 exclusive games of 2008.

I do not want a list showing a metacritic score for all xbox 360 games or all PS3 games but a list that only includes exclusives for either console for 2008.

Obviously there is no such list so why don't you take the effort to sift through the metacritic scores for both the 360 and ps3, and pick out the exclusives of each console that were released in 2008, and then comeback and show it to me, so you have evidence supporting your claim that metacritic disagrees.

 

 

Ohh ok.... 360:Braid , gears 2 , l4d

                PS3: MGS 4  , LBP

360:3  PS3:2

 

 l4d is neither 90+ or a xbox 360 exclusive. Looks like metacritic doesn't disagree afterall...

My bad , must have gone down but still you can replace l4d with geometry wars retro evolved 2 same story....metacritics does agree with the J man.

 



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

      People were talking about NGII as an xbox 360 exclusive in 2005.

That doesn't mean it was officially announced, or dated. Same goes for Forza 3. I'm sure we could come up with a whole litany of games that should be on the 360 within the next year that haven't been announced. Point is that MS can keep an official announcement away pretty close to the game actually coming out, like NG2.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

      I believe that NGII was officially unofficially announced for the 360 for as long as anyone knew that the 360 was coming out.

     There are a few big xbox games that haven't had sequels yet in this gen like Mech Assault, Crimson Skies, and maybe Sudeki as well as some big games that were supposed to be on the original xbox like B.C., Starcraft Ghost or The Unseen that would suddenly start to generate instant hype as soon as announced, so it's possible maybe some of them will be announced at E3 this year.  Maybe Sega could announce Shenmue III for the 360 as the second one was on the original, but Sega seems to be putting a lot of those types of games on the PS3 instead these days.

e3 will make things right... before that is too soon!

There is no point worrying about the 360's nor PS3's future lineup these days when an overwhelming majority of the anticipated/worthwhile games are actually multiplatform.



damndl0ser on 14 March 2009

Lists really don't mean a lot to either Sony or M$. Its all about the software sales, and from what I can tell the 360 will more than likely have much better sales this year than Sony.

Not really.

Mass Effect 2  Scheduled fpr Next year also on PC and most likely on PS3 since the Publisher is EA
Forza 3          No official announement yet
Alan Wake     also on PC high chance for coming out next year
Halo 3 ODST   90+ for sure
Kingdom Under Fire 2  also on pc
Two Worlds 2 also on pc
and tons more

No needs to worry. I'm sure there'll be announcements, but the lineup looks good so far. Maybe not earth-shattering, but neither is Sony's or Nintendo's.

 

 Seriously lol?

this VS:

 

Gran Turismo 5

God Of War 3

INfamous

Heavy Rain

White Knight Chronicles (in the west)

Quantom Theory

Demons Souls (in the west)

Uncharted 2

Ratchet and Clank: Future 3 (In QFB it says "The adventure continues 2009")

PLUS Semi Exclusives:

DC Universe Online

Free Realms

PLUS:

Eat Sleep Play (David Jaffes studio): 1 Unannounced Exclusive

Tecmo: 1 Unannounced Exclusive

NC Soft: 3 Unannounced Exclusives

Rockstar: 1 Unannounced Exclusive

+ Tons more

You missed a bunch of 360 exclusives, Console wise they are 360 EXCLUSIVE, and there are also a few unannounced 360 titles.

 



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M

I merely pulled out a few off the top of my head. I'm sorry I decided not to include unreleased games in the West, multiple unnanounced projects, and games that stand the ultimate chance of being mid 2010. I do know ME2 and FM2 fit that category, but I didn't pad the list.

If you want me to list all the console exclusives slated for 09, here you are:

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Age of Pirates: Captain Blood
Alan Wake
APB
Dead Island
Divinity 2
Dungeon Hero
Huxley
Mass Effect 2 (rumored, but we all know it could be 2010 too)
Shadow Harvest
Thesis
Splinter Cell: Convition
Two Worlds: The Temptation
Venetica
Voodoo Nights
Warhound
White Gold: War in Paradise
Demons of Mercy
DogTag
Forza Motorsports 3
Halo 3: ODST
Ninja Blade

+ Unannounced and TBA games. My list is a little bit bigger, and excludes the 100 XBLA games that will be released that PSN will not have.

I will say that your list is just as bad the person you are trying to refute. Some of those aren't releasing, others we haven't heard news in years about, and some have a tiny chance of coming out this year.

OT: I think you have to get past E3 before you start making much judgment, but we haven't had any announcements in a while.
