RE: Gamestock over .... now onto GDC and TGS!

Ok guys, Gamestock has given us a mere glimpse of the XB\'s potential, what do you hope/expect to see at the Game Developers Conference (March 20th - 24th) and the Tokyo Games Show (March 30th - April 1st)?

Well, I really  hope that Mircrosoft gets their **** together.  Their first party lineup consists of PS2 copys.  Madden/Fever, SSX/AMped, Soul Reaver/Azurik, Halo/UT, etc.

With a few exceptions, Munch\'s and Malice, there doesn\'t seem to be a reason to buy an Xbox.  MS really needs to create it\'s own path and show gamers it can offer something different so you don\'t have to get a PS2.


Nintendo, assuming they attend, will probably release a few details about GC, but blow the doors wide open on GBA.  This will be exciting.  They will probably save the GC stuff for E3.

Sony will show lots of stuff and leave little for E3 like they\'ve done every year.  Very few suprises, but good ones.

Sega will probably just talk about it\'s rally of games coming out for different systems, leaving suprises for E3.

True, but let\'s not forget what we\'re seeing here.

These are MS\'s first-party games 6 months from launch. The only decent first-party game from Sony was Fantavision! The remaining PS2 launch games were ALL third-party!!!

Hence MS seem to be doing great with their first-party games compared to Sony, however, like the PS2, the REAL show stoppers will be from third-party developers. I\'m looking forward to it!

I agree with you on most of those but to compare Halo with UT rivals on blasphemy. The only game that can be compared to Halo is Tribes/Tribes2 because they are the same kind of game.

Okay, sorry Gohan.  

I still think Halo will be amazing though.  

But speaking of 3rd parties, I really wanna see what everyone\'s doing.  Capcom said they wanted Onimusha ready around launch time for Xbox, EA will probably have their round of games ready (SSX, Madden, Live), I wonder what Sega has in mind if anything for Xbox launch.
