Looking at the "Fusion" stuff; genesis pulled up this:
Sentient and Vault:
Could it be related to the "Fuzion Frenzy" franchise? Sounds like XBLA stuff personally, although the mild science fiction violence has me a tad confused...

I wonder why there isn't a WorldWide Telescope app for 360 using Kinect. I think it's one of the best things Microsoft done. it would seem like an fantastic addition.

I really think some of you are full of shit. Who has really looked to MS for first party exclusives? MS has been basically churning out the same first party exclusives for like 4 years. To now say you will give up on the system because there are not enough first party exclusives is nonsense when they have been doing this for years. If anything Kinect is boosting there output of first party games which may be a good thing as the games may also use the standard controller.

Well most of them have Kinect integration, so according to GAF they are not games.

Yeah. Last years conference was a bunch of announced games (CoD, Halo: Reach, Gears 3) + Kinect launch line-up (which was mostly revealed the day before). This year, they'll similarly demonstrate announced titles (CoD, Gears 3, Forza 4) but the Kinect games should at least be a lot more interesting, and there is still a bunch of studios working on games that we don't know anything about.Dissonance said:

Two more Australia ratings board titles -- Kinect Googly Eyes and Tetris Party Challenge.

I have no idea. Kinect Googly Eyes, Kinect Fun Lab and Kinect Me sound more like services/feature to me rather than unique games.Nirolak said:

What's this about Forza World?
Is it an MMO?

MS first party lineup for this year so far has been nothing and they have Gears of War 3 and Forza 4 coming this year
Sony first party line up so far this year are LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, DC Universe, SOCOM 4, MotorStorm Apocalypse and they have inFamous 2, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Twisted MEtal, Ratchet upcoming.
It really shows how bad MS have gotten with 1st party games as they use to be good with exclusives like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Blue dragon, Lost Odyssey and etc. But it seems MS has given up on publishing as many hardcore games as they used to.

Well the first half of the year has been particularly weak for Microsoft. That isn't some special sign that they're first party support is dying, it has just been a weak period for releases. It won't be the first, nor the last, and Sony and Nintendo have had similar periods. Sony are also having their strongest year, which makes the comparison even more stark.KAL2006 said:
But the second half of the year, Microsoft are holding their cards close to their chest (or they're trying to, anyway). They have a good few new first party studios working on unannounced stuff and the likes of Lionhead and Rare are working on unannounced stuff. A lack of third party exclusives (Kinect aside) is just a sign of the times -- it's making less and less sense for third parties to tie themselves down to one console, especially now that devs have a good grasp of PS3 development. Microsoft could have probably secured, say, Mass Effect 2 and 3 if they opened their wallet, but is that really what you want them to be spending money on? I know you probably don't want them to be spending it on Kinect either, but a first party title is a first party title and right now Kinect needs support more than the controller does.

that list is so fucking sad.
right now my 360 is just a BLOPs adapter and the only other game on the horizon to break up the monotony is gears 3.
please, MS, come back home

Master Chief is on there but more interestingly why is Glados mentioned?
Why is there an airplane sticker? Why doesn't it look like it's from Crimson Skies? I'm not pleased.

The point is for the last few years MS exclusives have essentially been the same, a new Fable, Forza, Halo and Gears or War so to now act as if the fact they don't have enough new exclusives is the linchpin decision to abandon ship is not genuine. First party exclusives have not been big selling point for MS for a few years now.KAL2006 said:

I mean, I don't know what's coming out on arcade to really keep the system. Fez? Is that what it's called? I think that's the only exclusive it'd kind of suck to miss, but who knows when that is coming out.
It's generally a bad idea to sell systems, but it's clear from this lineup Microsoft is clearly for someone else now. A shame, they were the best console up until this past year.
People who want shallow'd up gameplay with lag button-free control are an audience completely alien to me. Microsoft will come graveling back when its 2 secs of Kinect fame are done by the ADHD gimmick crowd, and then we can be done with this shit just like Nintendo is.

Pretty much. I had my fun with it. Bought it when Gears 1 came out. "next gen" started there for me. Can't wait to come full circle with Gears 3 and wait for the Xbox720.Amir0x said:
I just got a gaming PC plus I love Kinect so this is beyond perfect. Sucks for all of the sad people in this thread though. Assuming they launch the next console in 2012-13 I'd rather they had their teams concentrating on next-Gen. Selfish, I know, but it seems to be the trend of this thread anyway.
So this is what I get:Detox said:

- Sword (maby Kingdoms)
- Axe (maby Batman)
- Lightsaber (Star Wars Kinect)
- Car (Forza Motorsport/Forza World)
- Jet Fighter (I'm blind I thought it was a gun before, my brother from another mother daFeef correct me).
- Nunchucks?
- A 360 Slim
- Gears Weapon (Gears of War 3/Kinect?)
- Guitar
- Kinect
- Xbox Live
- Halo sword (Halo - 343/Saber?)
- Lightning?

I think they hit it first in 2009, with KZ2, inFamous, Demon Souls, and Uncharted 2. This year is like the second blow out.Marleyman said:
It seems to me the only difference between this year and others is that there aren't any 3rd party exclusives that core gamers are wanting. The 360 is still getting them, they are just also going to other platforms as well. Not sure why that would make someone not play games on the platform. Maybe it would influence someone who doesn't yet own it, but to hear people jumping ship is just silliness.
