Supposedly Halo 3, Forza 2, Fable 2, Shadowrun, Alan Wake, and many more videos are on XBL Marketplace right now.
Fable 2 teaser (http://www.fable2.com)
Shadowrun (http://www.shadowrun.com)
Halo 3: Screenshots, trailer, info (http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=Halo3Announcement)
-Forza 2 announced for the fall
-HD-DVD add-on will be ready for this fall (about 1/3 the size of the 360)
-On October 16th 2007 Grand Theft Auto 4 will be available on Xbox 360. There was no mention of an exclusive to 360.
-Alan Wake is shown through an impressive trailer.
-Gates announces a new platform called Live Anywhere that will roll out when Vista ships. It will be a big part of Vista. It will have cross-platform capability. Mobile phones, Xbox 360, and PC will share tools.
A demo of this new platform is given. Whenever you log onto a system you\'ll log onto Xbox Live. An interface is shown on a PC that uses the same "blade" system as Xbox Live. No matter which platform you are on you\'ll sign in with the same gamertag with the same friends list.
Marketplace will be available on all systems. Now you can download content like Zuma onto your mobile phone. As an example Major Nelson mails a custom car from his phone to a PC. Then begins to customize it on the PC and throws it into the game.
more later...

Micro-who?
Nah I\'m kidding. Actually that\'s a great idea. Finally a reason to fire up my 360 other than to watch ECW DVDs.

1:00: Crowd goes ballistic. Lights come up and the conference is over.

Rockstar fucked over Sony?
rofl
-
I wonder when Grand Theft Auto: PS3 Version Not Called 4 will be released? Actually, it\'ll probably be an upgraded Liberty City Stories, which by and large, no one played in the first place.
Pretty cool announcement regarding Lumines. That might make that developer some quick cash.
The other games mentioned don\'t do much for me. GTA4 is enticing, but GTA:LCS didn\'t keep my attention for longer than 15 minutes (curse of the portable system?) so I wonder if that series still has legs for me... (Picturing it in my head, though, I\'m leaning toward yes.)
-
omg...overload...I\'ll update this when I\'ve digested it all. Right now I\'m just going to revel in it. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Didn\'t Remedy state Alan Wake was going to be a no show ?

Pretty much any updates will be in my first post.

GTA4 exclusive 360 title , huh. Good thing I\'m not a fan of GTA. But I would have liked to have seen what Rockstar could have done with blu-ray
Funny how people rip Sony for stealing controller ideas but praise Microsoft for buying out titles
-
Ripping off a consoles notable features versus a company paying for exclusivity. The blow isn\'t as hard because GTA wasn\'t really much of an exclusive game in the first place.
-
"a company switching exclusivity"
You forgot to mention the exclusivity is for the best selling game for the PS2
Only hardcore care about who stole what controller design. EVERYONE is going to care that MS bought GTA
-
How exclusive is it? Whole franchise? Just this specific title? Or a time lapse. Resident Evil was exclusive to GCN for a while, too.
-Dan
-
You forgot the GTA: Double Pack and San Andreas are both best selling Xbox games too huh?
Where\'s mm? At least he has more sense than to make a mistake like that.
-
Ahm guys I think its not exclusive. I think it was Exclusive GTA online content
-

Big debacle going on. Apparently the deal was just made recently.

eik, there was mention of "this is a for real exclusive" GTA4 comment during the conference. MS really isn\'t someone who half-asses buy outs.
mistake? what mistake? please don\'t twist my comments to fit into your warped replys
-

Fable 2..
-drool-
Stealing a controller idea and getting an exclusive title is a big difference. Don\'t even relate the two things. That is like saying Sony "stole\' VF5 from everyone else.
Whatever.
-
lol at Fable 2

Fable 2 teaser here: http://www.fable2.com
laugh all you want, mm. The original sold nearly 3 million copies.
-
Again, only the HC care about the controller idea \'theft\', the mainstream will care about which system a title will be permantly exclusive to
fable? maybe the best game i never heard of
-
only 3 million?
is that a joke?
they port it to PC to make up for low sales?

Three million is a success. What the fuck did you expect from this limited as hell game? It was fun, but nothing like what was promised.
For comparison, major success = GTA:SA (7 mil) Halo 2 (9 mil)

Am I the only one here who is excited about all this video game news and not caring what the badge is on the outside of the plastic box?

New HDTV E3 Alan Wake trailer. PC & 360 exclusive.

-
F*** microsoft. I hate the 360 and have no intentions of buying it. However, the Wii and PS3 have my intention.
There is no mention of GTA being exclusive and I wouldn\'t count on it being exclusive to 360. They have a huge fanbase with Sony and people like me who will only buy one or two consoles will not be very happy.
-
Yeah I have no intention of purchasing of a Xbox360 ever lol. Or a PS3 because I simply cannot throw away that much money on a system.
-
You know Jumpman, prices DO come down in time ;)
-
It\'ll drop to what...500 Canadian if I\'m lucky? I\'m kind of mad about the 250 us Wii price.

They have a huge fanbase with the PS2. Those that are hardcore GTA fans will go where Rockstar goes.

And mine\'s just big enough for Wii. My family finally got a 40 dollar dvd player this year though!

WTF is up with the Halo 3 trailer? They should\'ve shown a bit more. Eh. Still cool, I guess.

wrong (not that i even believe that number), thats why Peter Molyneux later publicly apologized for overhyping Fable.
i was bored

“Fable” for Xbox and “Fable: The Lost Chapters” for Xbox and Windows have collectively also sold more than 2 million copies worldwide
NOTE "AND WINDOWS"
exaggerating is bad, m\'kay?
-
Regarding Fable 2, of those 3 million, how many will buy a sequel? I bought it reduced and stopped playing after probably 4 or 5 hours with it. It felt pointless and boring.
I am part of that 3 million, but am not excited about Fable 2 except for, wait for it, it\'s probably pretty.

E3 06: Grand Theft Auto IV coming to 360, PS3 in 2007
[UPDATE] Microsoft confirms next Grand Theft Auto is coming to Xbox 360 in October 2007; Rockstar Games confirms simultaneous launch on PS3.
By Tim Surette, GameSpot
Posted May 9, 2006 8:37 pm GMT
LOS ANGELES--In one of the most shocking announcements at E3, Microsoft revealed that it quite literally stole away some of Sony\'s audience. One of the PlayStation\'s most notoriously popular franchises, the Grand Theft Auto series, is confirmed to be coming to the Xbox 360. Previous editions of GTA were released exclusively on the PlayStation 2 in October, and were later ported to the Xbox. Now we know that Grand Theft Auto 4 will be hitting the Xbox 360 on "day one", alongside the PlayStation 3 version of the game.
At today\'s Microsoft pre-E3 conference, Peter Moore pulled back his right shirt sleeve and revealed the familiar Halo 2 logo. Duping the audience into thinking that a new Halo was about to be announced, the Englishman then pulled back his left shirt sleeve, which revealed a tattoo that showed a Grand Theft Auto IV logo.
Grand Theft Auto IV will be available on October 16, 2007, in North America, and October 19 in Europe.
Moore did announce that Microsoft and Rockstar have signed an exclusive agreement to provide episodic content via Xbox Live, though he did not specifically limit the content to GTAIV.
Following the announcement during the Microsoft press conference, Rockstar Games issued a press release confirming that GTAIV would be hitting both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 simultaneously in the fall of 2007. The brief announcement specifically confirms that Scotland-based Rockstar North, creators of the previous GTA titles, will be developing the game.
please note, people Rockstar is a company not a NGO so they want all your money regardless of your system.
-
fake tattoo\'s are beyond lame, especially for an "englishman"
:rolleyes:
-
2007 wtf careface
-
Seen the Halo3 trailer. Very very nice graphics. But for some reason it didnt impress me as much as the PS3 games I ve seen :confused:
-
So GTA is not exclusive at all. At this stage, publisher allegiances are exactly what they were last gen among the three systems.
Obviously, the difference is that, while PS3 and X360 developers set back the clock and rehash old ideas with fancy graphics, Nintendo and its developers are creating new experiences.

/why can\'t I stop being such a fanboy?

Me..
I loved Fable - was it limited? Yes! Did I still enjoy it? Yes!
Will I buy it? No. Why? Because I don\'t own an Xbox 360.
Fable was over hyped though, no doubt about it. Here is hoping that P.M doesn\'t hype this one up so much. Let the game speak for itself, don\'t make false claims.
-
you need to be more bitter and distrustful
you need the positive waves, dude :)

What kind of logic is that? It\'s a sequel, it won\'t be limited to the people who bought the previous game.
-
It\'s my opinion that because Fable sucked, the people who bought it before should be less inclined to buy it again. It\'s sound logic.
And you\'re right that sales of Fable 2 will not be limited to those who bought it previously. Nice of you to add that, but don\'t confuse that with the point I was trying to make. Logically.

No, you are speaking like it\'s limited to the 3 million and that everyone of them thought it sucked.
Do you understand the words that my keyboard happens to type?
-
I won\'t get into this, but yes I do. And I understand you miss my simple point which is Fable sucked and people like me who bought it, won\'t bother with the second.
In fact I just reread what I originally posted about this and at that point I was just talking about me only and I asked a rhetorical question.
I say let\'s move on, there\'s much cooler stuff taking place than Fable.
-
please stop saying 3 million sold, i debunked that
fabled tanked, and for good reasons

Oh, Fable tanked? Oh man you have proven me wrong.
Yes, you did with your credible sources and detailed information. Nice one, high five.
Wait, hold on.
You didn\'t.

It only surpassed 2 million sales? BOY, is MY face red! That totally is not a success guys.
also
You are an idiot. We are talking about the game Fable.
The game Fable. No platforms discussed.
Being stupid is... well fine for you because it\'s amusing. m\'kay?
-
fable tanked, bro
best launch month ever for any Xbox game in U.S.
"Fable was the best first-week title on Xbox that we\'ve ever had"
:rolleyes:
that\'s like saying you won the 50 yard dash in the special olypmics
why did it sell that many at only the start? HYPE
why did they port it to windows a year after the xbox release?
noone, bought a copy after the first month after they realized how bad it really was
who was the last dev to publically apologize for thier game?
please stop smoking so much pot, it\'s made you retarded
you should change your name back to soul reaver, you were funny then
-
You definitely are an idiot.
What you are saying is all besides the point. It sold well and that\'s that you fucking moron.
-
it sold well compared to other xbox games, especially at the time when it came out.
how simpler can i make it for you?
besides the point? nice backpedal
watchdog would stab himself reading your posts
you don\'t have to try and insult me, admitting you were wrong or just not replying would suffice.
-
Over 1 million sales is a success. Surpassing 2 is even better.
Are you fucking dense?
Nice backpedal? Jesus Christ you dumb fuck.
-
Dude, the hostility is a bit much.
-
you done crying yet?
i\'m dissapointed
really, i expected better
-
It\'s entertaining though. Calling someone a dumb fuck is so much fun. All this while fixing up some guys broken PC because they do not know upgrading it while on a carpet is a bad idea.
edit
Haha done crying yet? You know what mm, do you even have a job? Do you pride yourself as a shitty mod/admin in these forums? You call yourself an "educated buyer" yet you really are just a damned fanboy lying to himself.
-
fanboy of who, exactly?
pride myself in playing kindergarden cop arguing with people like you?
in case you haven\'t noticed, you have zero chance of pushing me.
i\'m at work right now actually, but i\'m sad to see they let people who work on the geek squad surf the web instead of fixing pc\'s.
i\'m sorry if Fabled was your favorite game, but it tanked.
the number\'s are on my side.
-
I enjoyed Fable and yes, it tanked.
Do I care that it tanked? Not really.

not my favorite game at all, in fact i didn\'t even buy the damned thing
but seeing that it sold over 2 million and then saying it tanked is one of the most moronic things in the fucking forum
Playing kindergarten cop? Are you retarded? No one breaks the rules in this place. It\'s a fucking esoteric forum if anything. You\'re as useless as they come.
Geek squad? Nice one, I know you think you\'re cool because you try this whole "cynic" approach but you\'re not. You are a glorified troll at best. One with nearly six times the amount of posts I have actually.
heh
-
one of the most moronic things in the fucking forum
you already won that award
but since i got the reaction i wanted, you already lost
-
I already won that award. You are too good.
And I lost already? What a nice little cop out there. Hey you lost too because I said so.
-
care to test that?
-
Care to test what? You go on ahead an try to confirm your use in life. I\'m going to set up some servers.
-
So Microsoft, like Sony, announced titles that we knew would make an appearance on their console.
That wraps it up
-
"set up" some servers?
apparently, you have no idea what you\'re talking about.
i\'m shocked they\'re even making a sequal to fable
guess that\'s what happens when you\'re desperate for franchises
-
you already won that award
but since i got the reaction i wanted, you already lost
Actually, Clowd won that award, but .......
:thumb:
Still, I\'m not sure what it matters how many Fable sold. Those who enjoyed it, will pick it up and those who didn\'t want. Maybe I enjoyed it, because I didn\'t follow all the hype, but for me, I thought it was a solid linear RPG.
;)
-
"set up" some servers?
apparently, you have no idea what you\'re talking about.
I don\'t know what I\'m talking about. Ok man.
What I just did, did not happen. Those towers I am looking at. It\'s all a dream.
-
it only matters cause soul reaver claimed it sold 3 million and that\'s tits
...when it only sold 2 million including PC sales and the rehashed version
i wonder what fable\'s budget was?
and :rofl: at \'towers\'
-
I did not claim that. Someone else said it in this thread and I went on with that. Surpassing 2 million is cllose enough.
You\'re laughing at towers. You\'re really clueless you know that right?
Think what you like, I guess I am getting paid magic money for my non existent work.

The fact that you question my job makes me wonder if you actually know anything about what I\'m talking about. Do you read stuff up on the internet and pretend that you know all about it?
Definitely seems so. Don\'t even bother answering.

Towers are cool, yo.
