I think for gamers Xbox 360 is looking like a decent time, but not as good as the last 2 years, but E3 could change that. At the moment I see no casual appeal to the 360 at all. Sure it has the $199 price tag, but what else is coming for the mass market? I think Sony, and Microsoft both need to get first party motion controllers like right now. With the low price point MS can easly change the tides if they work hard on getting out the casual games, and hardware they need. I don't think their focus on the hardcore is going to go away, forza, halo, gears, and something for rare and lionhead will always be coming. MS needs a studio like london studio, but instead of having 300 people doing nothing, they could actually pump out some awsome casual stuff, to broaden the appeal of the brand.

@ Piggychain.

Good find. Maybe M$ have quite alot more we all dont know about. But then 360 owners for the last 4 years have not exactly been starved for games at all. Why would anyone think any different?

That's interesting. I predict a game about fighter jets with huge knockers.

Theres also Infernal: Hell's Vengance.. From what I've seen the early screenshots look awful

And it's a 2 year old game as well.

I wouldn't say it's picking steam just yet, NNN2 is a welcome addition, but Magna Carta 2 looks horrible.

 

 

I personally like the 3d suedo anime/manga style art in Magna Carta 2. ( Thank god it isnt another realism clone ).

Also if the battle system is fixed from the first game it will be very good. Thats the only thing that dragged the first game down. And from what the feedback is the battle system is drastically better.

 

Good news for you Selnor they confirmed with Famitsu the battle sytem is completely different. Use Google Translate and you'll see. Some of the information didn't tranlate great but that part was easy to read. It sounds promising imo.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

Apparently not. It was just in Famitsu with a bunch of new screens.

LOL. You are major late on this buddy. Magna Carta 2 was in the latest issue of Famistu. These are brand new screenshots. Confirmed 2009 release for 360 only. :)

Did anyone play Magna Carta 1? It's the only game I've ever refused to buy even though my girlfriend wanted to try it. The art style just looked so goofy, like extreme JRPG androgyny meets CGI Baywatch.
