You think Mass Effect 2 will indeed end up being multiplatform?

project offset is thought to be going pc exclusive. since offset studios was bought buy intel

I think Halo 3 and Gears of War qualify as some of Microsoft's "starters".  So I'm going to call this PR BS.

@JGarret

No I dont but I think all this no comment and no idea comments mean they are giving an opening to Sony/EA for some deal if they wish.

Starters for what? 2010?

I'm pretty sure he was referring to this year, not since launch.

You don't steal the show at the 2009 E3 by announcing all your major 2009 releases in 2007/2008 like Sony did. I find it much more annoying to be told Gran Turismo 5: 2009! Then be told GT5: late 2009, then GT5: 2010! After awhile it gets boring and I start to not care.

Seriously does Sony have anything to announce we didn't already hear about before? I know about GOW3, GT5, Heavy Rain. I know about alot of the X360 releases, like Allan Wake, ME2, and probably Forza but nothing has been 100% yet. Microsoft has a tendency to pull a fast one at E3 each year so that might be a big surprise this year, possibly more than one surprise at that.

Microsoft have been talking big for quite some time and some of what they said are happening now, Microsoft have not let me down yet, and when they say they are just starting, I believe them.

Coming into this generation I didn't know what microsofts' plan was, all I knew is that they had to get some major third party games on their system if they wanted to compete, that they did.

Microsoft has said before that they are always looking for new IP that they believe will see consoles, if they don't believe it will sell consoles they will not publish it and make it exclusive, gears of war is the only new IP that has really sold consoles for microsoft this generation, so it would not be unbelivable that microsoft has more IPs on the way.

Some people wish to see microsoft fail and leave the industry, but the truth is they will be around for a while yet, microsoft is not going anywhere and to believe they are just starting is not unbelievable.

Very plausible. But i doubt MGS5 or the like go to the 360 but everything else could happen. 1 things for sure DONT count M$ out just yet as ive been telling everyone

He meant about this year listen to the interview if you must.

I'm going to guess he is talking about Alan Wake for sure, Killer Instinct 3 is a nice possibility, Perfect Dark 2 because the launch title didn't do the series proper justice and follow that up with the Perfect Dark Live Arcade reveal. Blinx 3 perhaps and/or Kameo 2 to compete with titles like Ratchet, Sly Cooper etc. Forza Motorsport 3 for the hardcore racer sim crowd. Crackdown 2 teaser trailer shown now with more side missions and variety. I would love to finally see a sequel to Conkers Bad Fur Day they could call it Conker 2: Even Badder Fur Daze. Reveal Banjo-Kazooie 3 because Nuts and Bolts was nothing more than getting their feet wet before the mile swim.
