Forums - Microsoft - MS E3 Predictions

If MGS4 goes to 360, that ends the "This game can't be done on Xbox" comments.

 

Oh, and here's a few predictions, some more likely than others:

- Gears 3 announced for 2010

- MS buys EA, all EA now 360-exclusive.  Spins off a Nintendo-specific dev studio.

- Peter Molyneaux declares whatever game he is working on to be the game that revolutionizes gaming.  Then, he announces a delay.

- MS signs David Jaffe to be their PR head.  Can you imagine the quotes we'd get?

- MS buys Square Enix, Releases FF13 multiplatform, and FF13 Versus as PS3 exclusive.  Both PS3 versions of a game boot to the opening credits, and then immediately enter a rickroll loop. 



Stop getting so excited about a Kid Icarus remake... the original NES Icarus sucked.

i think they will announce two newly acquired game development studios+ a third studio that only does XBLA stuff.

I'm sure MGS4 will be announced but MS wouldn't end the conference with a year old port, I'd expect it at the beginning. Wouldn't really be a megaton at this point either. And I don't see FFVS13 happening ever, if so, certainly not at E3. Aside from that I agree with all your predictions. Maybe a slim model too.

I wonder...is this even that big of a deal, outside of message boards?  I mean I'm sure there is a hardcore following that would pick this up on the 360, but is this really E3-worthy news?  I'm just not sure (but I'm admittedly not a fan of the series, so very well could be wrong).

It actually will win a psychological war against PS3. MGS4 is seen as the defining exclusive on PS3. With a 360 version, MS will effectively:

- destroyed the notion that PS3 exclusives cant be done on xbox 360

- took away the defining PS3 games exclusivity (can no longer define as it is now multiplat)

- show the world another reason why Sony has lost its domination and influence over last generation

Even though only the forums will go nuts, the remifications of a 360 MGS4 go far beyond foum ownage. It will downright destroy the PS3 image.....or at least lessen it.

But you forget, by the time the MGS4 port is out, God of War 3 and GT 5 will be out. Those are the PS3's real defining games, moreso than MGS4 anyway. It may lessen the PS3's image but probably not as much as you think.

OT: I'm going to predict Crackdown 2 for E3 also.

GT5 I agree with you, but GoW doesn't sell like MGS does.  And another of his points is exactly right.  There was much PS3 fan-fair about how this game couldn't happen on the Xbox 360.

It would render moot all those points, not just for this game but for any currently in existence.

 



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Just want to see Halo ODST and Forza 3 in action, anything else is icing. If MGS4 is announced for the 360 it will not end the show, if it does then that will be pretty awful. Announce MGS4 for 360 probably at the start of the conference and end it with a brand new exclusive game.

I really don't see the "ZOMG MEGATONZ" being software related, for 360 I expect that motion camera and possible a slim and Sony will end it with the new PSP and possible PS3 slim.



 

31 million shipped

Halo ODST media blowout

Splinter Cell/Forza announcements

Rare/Lionhead projects unveiled

One big megaton announcement

Microsoft courting the casuals (not Lips 2 and YITM2)

Please just give me Forza 3, ODST, Alan Wake!! THat would be the best show for me.



Long Live SHIO!

Credit, where it is due, i will pay that, i actually laughed out loud.

 

My predictions... more hopes, that they will announce for, before the end of the year very high critic praising games so i can win my bet with kantor, but real predictions.



- Ms to actually announce a purchase of a company, don't know which one, but i think it is going to be a big one.

- Ms to follow in wii's shadow and announce some sort of motion control thing.

- Ms to announce a PLAYABLE handheld, and to revolutionise home gaming, it to be used in junction with 360/720, Better then psps effort, (the backwards mirror, please). I think it will be something like an advanced dreamcast controller.

- Sega officially jumping on 360's boat, Sega's new console actually being an improvement to current 360.

 

How are they?

Oh i have more

-Mass Effect announced EXCL finally

-Lost Planet 2, excl

-MGS4 stay excl with ps3, but 360 getting something that may compete from Kojima, you cannot keep a company like ms offside for long.

One more thing

-Exclusive sports game

Im staying away from the mgs4 stuff but what I will say is that in my opinion I think that the original guess at ms at e3 sounded really good and probably spot on. One thing I will add I have a feeling ms will have some sort of exclusive with Call of duty like extra maps or something.
MS has been really pushing that kind of stuff and call of duty sells so well on the 360 that its a win win for both.



Please dont let the climax of the show be MGS4and Final Fantasy again. Much better to give a tiny taste of Halo 4.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
