I'm going to not buy the Microsoft rumor of a sequel to a new console already being in the works. I believe the XBLA ironically though.
 
"Microsoft canceled an XBLA release of Goldeneye 007 at the last minute"

Yeah i'm sure they were the ones behind that not happening.

Sounds like the rumored 100th XBLA title that the folks over at xblarcade.com were crowing about in November.

Those are some nice scores for Culdcept Saga. Hope it finds an audience.

Wow, I miss 2007 already. Cheers to my backlog.

4 Guitar Hero sequels out in 2008 (Guitar Hero 4, Guitar Hero Aerosmith, and 2 others)

Everyone expected it, but this is like THPS-level milking on fast forward.

Can't wait for Burnout, and I just crossed NFL Tour off my list.
 
Thanks!



and about "Microsoft's next console..."

That's bullshit, it's too early! I want the 360 to have a long and healthy lifespan.

On what ultra-powerful dev machines are they testing that Xbox III game?

They must be running Crysis at 2560p @ 60 fps :O

Microsoft canceled an XBLA release of Goldeneye 007 at the last minute

They would have needed to get the rights from Nintendo.
New rumour: Microsoft canceln an XBLA release of Donkey Kong 64 at the last second.
 
Goldeneye wouldn't make sense unless it was retextured and retitled.

Borys said:

Would make sense if they are conceptualising as the console hardware is being thrashed out. Last time they ended up with Kameo and Perfect Dark being built for previous generation tech and given a coat of polish. The game development would form a good basis for middleware tools as well, so I would bet on it being a Rare title.

Interesting that microsoft already start on next gen plan, maybe they want to make best launch title ever.

Nice scores for burnout.

Well, the 360 is going on 3 years old. Seems about right to start talking about their next console. :lol

I bet on it being a load of bullshit. New Microsoft console isn't going before 2011, you can count on that.
 
Ouch at Kingdum Under Fire.

Wow at Culdcept Saga.

Shocked at Burnout. The demo just didn't seem very inspired. It was fun for about 5 minutes.

Who has the rights to GoldenEye anyways?

Didn't Reggie say he wanted to get it on VC?

I still think the best option that Nintey/MS could agree on would be to release it on DS.

Did these morons even play this game?
Seems Not.
I remember that two of their reviewers gave the first one a 3.5 and 4, which was ridiculous. Great PSP game.

If MS is pulling a 5 year stunt, doesnt that mean a new console in 2009?

I think the rumor is just being used as filler space. Microsoft's first party studios making a game for their next system? No fucking way. I think Shane just ran out of 'rumors'

That would make it the 4 year stunt.

WTF.. MS better not release another console before 2010.

What I want
-Announcement of another system coming GDC or E3 2008
-Show off a handfull of titles 2009
-Full on onslaught of games and stuff shown to public 2010
-Release Late 2010.

What will probably happen. :(
-Announcement of system 2008
-Full on onslaught of games and stuff shown to public 2009
