Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft have dropped the ball, do they remember the 360 is a VG Console?

SpartanFX on 26 March 2009

at E3 they will announce 2-3 big games for holiday(one being halo ODST)and some other games.

but remember that packed holiday line up is not such a smart move on X360 this year,since COD:MW2 and halo ODST are coming out.Those 2 will get ,most of the sales from X360 shooter loving crowd. The rest will have to fight with one another for decent sales.

I'm glad MS are holding back until E3. I really don't want to be seeing endless screenshots/trailers/hype for months on end(I try and ignore as much of it as possible anyway).
It's all about E3. Have a little patience:)



Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego. 

Patiently waiting for:  Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2

E3?? Please?


Oh well, I will be resting my 360 for awhile. The EU series is addicting!

God this is getting annoying. We are in a packed Q1 for exclusives. We've got more coming in Q2. We have two games announced for the fall. Give MS time to employ their new strategy. So what if they don't announce something big at GDC? Sony just announced a few PSN games and only Nintendo had a singular large announcement with the new Zelda DS. Microsoft has never dropped the ball for a fall lineup since the beginning of the 360's lifespan. They will not start now. I'm still confused why people are complaining when new 360 games are coming out every week and exclusives are spread around every two to three weeks or so.

 

Euhm no =p.  Anyway I can understand if you are only a Xbox 360 owner you get annoyed that a competitor has a lot of Exclusives announcements the last two weeks while the Xbox 360 had (almost) nothing at all.

Ok so what else did Sony announce at GDC? Let me clarify that this entire thread is about GDC, so any announcements coming from French sources or Famitsu in Japan, which include Ratcher and Clank: Crank in Time, Ninja Gaiden II Sigma and Katamari Damamcy Trubute do not count towards whatever list you decide to conjure up.

Microsoft has also stated that they are using GDC to talk to other developers, which means that they are working on exclusive deals which will most likely be announced at E3.

5 PSN games?  =p But did you read I said the last two weeks and not particulary GDC.  If people expect a announcement they expect it comming from GDC.

You quoted my reply to the OP, which was specifically about GDC, which is what this topic is about. It's about Microsoft not announcing games at GDC. I apologize if you misunderstood me, but that doesn't make what I said wrong. Sony did not use the avenue of GDC to announce any major releases, the same way Microsoft didnt. There was a leak from a french site, and some articles in a Japanese magazine that Sony has no part in since they are third party exclusives.

People do not need to expect an announcement at GDC. That is a place for talk about innovations involving hardware, peripherals, gaming engines, etc. It is for the developers to get together and network amongst themselves. It is not for us. Whatever scraps of announcements and info we get we should be grateful for. Like it was previously said, this is not e3, and the far fewer number of announcements at GDC prove this.

FYI, I own all three current generation consoles.
