Agent, possibly Versus XIII, next Insomniac game Sony already have plenty for the next holiday season

What is the point of this comment?

It's awesome for everyone, and M$ doesn't have it in the bag yet. And besides, there is so much speculation, does it really matter what a consoles line-up looks like over a year from now, with the exception of something huge like XIII or Halo Reach



Around the Network

Alan Wake
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Fable 3
Mass Effect 2
Halo: Reach
Crackdown 2

Incredible mix have to say, I should really get a job for the $$$.




Yeah, Microsoft's line up next year is awesome.

It's funny, though, isn't it? Usually it's the PS3's line up for 'Next Year' that we're hyping. Perhaps we should start calling 2010 the year of the 360?



All this and we still haven't heard what is coming from Rare or Mistwalker. I can hardly imagine that Rare will go two years with a no show. Mistwalker hasn't released a game since 2007. Honestly I really expected Rare to show something at today's show.



Yeah its pretty stupid and they will probably pace those releases like Nintendo does.

You know theyre doing F3 to tackle Zelda? You know that probably won't work.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Rare has had some layoffs, but I think they are working on Natal

Who they then rehired, not to mention last year Rare worked on NXE, Viva Pinata 2 and Banjo.

 

Something is coming from them, maybe multiple somethings, maybe one big something.

Didn't hear them, yeah I know they worked on that stuff, and they did Avatars, so I assume they are involved in the costumes stuff. They have been talking about how Natal can help their old IPs and stuff, and their games tend to be the more casual end of the spectrum. Remember, M$ wants natal to be like the relaunch of the system, so they will want plenty of games to come out that support Natal

I expect 3 games from them fall 2010



 

Put it this way, whether they're doing Natal shovelware along the lines of Wii Sports/Music/Fit or the hardest core sequels of PD2, KI3, etc.  Rare will have games out next year. They're teams are too numerous and have too high an output to not see anything from them.
