X360 - 2008 Lineup

[slider]

Raise of the dead II? lost planet II?

I'm guessing you meant Dead Rising?

To be honest I wouldn't expect either of those to be platform exclusive - being from Capcom and all.

You never know though.

 

[Jedi2016]

Most of those on the list that I'm interested in are action/adventure types.. which means I'll probably get them for PS3, which (IMO) has the better controller for them. These days, my 360 plays mostly FPSs and whatever exclusive titles catch my attention (Alan Wake being one, if they ever decide to release it).

Yes

I wouldn't expect lost planet to be an exclusive, but I could see dead rising II as a time exclusive for the 360 as the first episode is still not announced for the ps3.

I don't follow that logic.

 

[djskribbles]

aren't RE5, SCIV and Silent Hill 5 coming out in 2009? and do Halo Wars or Banjo Kazooie 3 even have a release date?

Perhaps they'll all beat GTA to market.

I'm not sure how a 'release date' is confirmation anymore. Anything more than a couple months away seems to be just a soft target.

 

[Fu3lFr3nzy]

I'm guessing you meant Dead Rising?

Speaking of "Dead", I forgot about Dead Island. The concept certainly got me interested

On another note, I guess its too early to say which titles will make it to 2008. This year alone proved that even the most high profiled titles can get delayed at the last second so next year should certainly be interesting.

 

[Acert93]

and do Halo Wars or Banjo Kazooie 3 even have a release date?

Halo Wars in the Spring was the last we were told. But with 2006 titles ending up in 2008, well, you know...

I happen to have “360” magazine in front of me which has a fairly large release list for 2008. It’s a UK mag so some of the releases may have already happened stateside and some are specific to the euro market (i.e. the glut of football games). The “announced” list can probably be taken just for reference as its likely only some of these will end up in 2008 (even a number of the “2008” list will likely end up in 2009):

Viking: Battle for Asgard is one that I wasn’t familiar with before, and having read a preview of it in the same issue of the magazine its certainly one I’m interested in now.

[Edit] Dynasty Warriors 6 is missing from that list actually. Thats early 2008 and another that will be on my purchase pile.

Exclusives are overrated. COD4, Guitar Hero and AC did far more for PS3 sales and Sony's bottom line this Christmas than Uncharted, R&C and Lair; same for Microsoft and COD4/GH/AC vs. Bioshock/Mass Effect (but not Halo). Of course, "Only on Xbox" is a good sticker to have, but "Also on the $100 cheaper console" is a good consolation for the lack of it.

Alan Wake

Don't forget Dark Knight based on the movie. Pandemic is working on it supposedly. Should be out in July to coincide with the movie. Personally I can't wait.

Speaking of Pandemic, there is also Saboteur coming in 2008. And they may still yet release Mercenaries 2: World in Flames as well, but you never know either.

You know its funny you should mention this but i've noticed some marketing done by sony to promote a number of third party multiplatform games in the last few months. Some titles you mentioned and how they're doing it makes them seem like exclusives to the clueless. Im wondering how much of an impact its having. Its really quite simple, show game (COD4), show PS3 logo. Not sure why Microsoft is letting them get away with that.

Same thing happened with Madden but it was the other way around. At least in my market.

They are both doing it, but i guess most people do not care based on the 360 sale numbers for Assassin's Creed which was mostly marketed with the ps3 logo at least in NA

Oddly, the issue I got the above list from had a report on that!

Can we expect a fps from Rare like perfect dark Zero II... (laughable title I know...).
