Rumor: Microsoft to debut new games at TGS

[RBH]

Microsoft to debut new games and announcements at TGS Tuesday, 08 Sep 2009 20:19 GamesCom 2009 in Cologne, Germany, was a relatively muted affair for Microsoft. The new European event only saw the announcement of Fable III by Lionhead's Peter Molyneux, whereas Sony took the event as the stage to announce a PlayStation 3 price cut and a slimmer model. However, it looks like Microsoft is targeting this month's Tokyo Games Show for new game announcements, obviously hoping to excite Japanese consumers who have previously been relatively reluctant to buy the Xbox 360. We've been informed by one of our development ninjas that the controller-less Project Natal should be on show with a selection of previously shown games. Moreover, a new Rare title is expected to be announced at the event, though it's not believed that Natal capability will be shown just yet, despite the UK studio working closely with the technology. Square Enix and Capcom are scheduled to be showing some new Xbox 360 games (not necessarily exclusive) with the announcement of Final Fantasy XIV for Microsoft's console being one of the company's surprises. Bungie will also debut footage of Halo Reach at the event, which was our source's most confident piece of information. We were also told that the CPU included in Project Natal's camera is more powerful than previously thought. Although we're not quite sure what this implies, the words "something big" were used. Consider us intrigued. As for Sony, a Gran Turismo 5 release date announcement is presumed, The Last Guardian should be shown and a couple of new games may be debuted. http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/forma...s-$1324439.htm

Debunked:

I can tell you that at least one of these rumors is total BS and so the rest reek by association.

Somebody lock this shit up.

[GashPrex]

shocking that this would happen at a game show

seriously m$

[methane47]

MS to reveal Secret PS3 game?

[pharmboy044]

Halo:Reach at TGS? Really? Am I missing something here?

[MCD]

fucking ninjas.

[Septimus]

Breaking news.

[Peff]

DID I READ RARE?

Odd that they would show it at TGS but I'll cling on to anything at this point

The game Itagaki is working on seems like a lock though. Hopefully Mistwalker's new game is shown too.

[Ogrekiller]

MS to reveal Xportable - otherwise known as XP

Mistwalker and Tokyo Vikings had better be there

Edit: I thought they already had their TGS preshow conference which showed nothing

[[Nintex]]

I sure hope Rare finally has something to show. It's been almost a year since Banjo and all they've released this year are a bunch of Viva Pinata cards and Perfect Dark XBLA renders.

I love how the article throws in Sony at the bottom like they don't matter. Sony not only have a keynote, but have actually SAID there'll be new games, whilst also having some major third party support there, with FFXIII headlining.

I'm not sure Microsoft will have that many announcements. I can see a Mistwalker game and Halo Reach footage. Why Microsoft choose TGS to show/announce Halo titles in recent years is beyond me.

[Xabora]

MS to reveal Secret PS3 game?

Halo Collectors Edition for the PS3 contains all 3 games!

[Raxus]

Betting the Natal Sports isn't too far off.

[skip]

going by what they said at the Bungie PAX panel, I highly doubt that we'll see Reach footage right when ODST goes on sale. would like to be surprised, though.

[Firestorm]

Halo:Reach at TGS? Really? Am I missing something here?

TGS 2008 says sure why not.

[El-Suave]

Halo:Reach at TGS? Really? Am I missing something here?

They skipped E3 and Games Convention for (then) Halo: Recon as well if I remember correctly.

That settles that then.

[ymmv]

I bet Japanese gamers at the TGS will hardly be able to contain their excitement: Halo Reach and a new Rare game will light up the the Japanese charts...

[Cat in the Hat]

Who the hell is gamezine?

[-PXG-]

Ya don't say...

[cjelly]

Make that many predictions and you're bound to get something right.

[elrechazao]

I don't believe pre game show rumors unless they debut on recently created twitter accounts. FALSE.

[Kagari]

Why wasn't any of this stuff shown at MS's annual pre-TGS show?

[Truant]

TGS is turning into a games convention!

[SecretBonusPoint]

As for Sony, a Gran Turismo 5 release date announcement is presumed, The Last Guardian should be shown and a couple of new games may be debuted.

What a ridiculously weighted article. So not so much "rumours" just made up bullshit with an obvious slant.

I'm sure Japan would go fucking crazy over a Rare game announcement!

Bastard child created when a game inserted its disc into a magazine.

[soco]

microsoft doesn't care about japan!


honestly, sounds like a wish list to me. i'll be surprised if they announce a Rare game at TGS when it would've been perfect for gamescon.

[Amir0x]

Games? That are new? At one of the dominate game shows in the world?

Fucking Nostradamus!

[TacticalFox88]

Oh noes a game company is going to debut new games at a GAME show. ZOMG!!! MS=Genius.

[The Lamonster]

That settles that then.

dammit I knew it was too good to be true :|

[Baha]

No shit.

[FateBreaker]

I love all of this news and hope it's true, but PLEASE GIVE ME MISTWALKER!!!!!!!!!

[Minsc]

The beat is RARE, beat is rare, beat is rare

[[Nintex]]

So if they aren't going to show anything here, when's X09 or X10?

[MirageDwarf]

Party-pooper!!!

[Acosta]

A Rare game in TGS, wow, probably it will suit as well as the HALO:ODST presentation last year.

By the way, I smell BS. I am sure I'm not the only one.

[Chittagong]

New games?

MEGATON.

I think they were done with that stuff for good.

[Gomu Gomu]

^ yup same here. There's something weird about the writing of the article.

[BeeDog]

Rumor: The sun will come up tomorrow.

[Keikoku]

Maybe some new 2009 games ? December seems so empty.

[grandjedi6]

I can tell you that at least one of these rumors is total BS and so the rest reek by association.

Welp, if their source's "most confident piece of information" isn't true then saying the rest reek by association would be an understatement.

And thank you for saving us from the horrors these types of threads generate, even if its only this once.

[Zzoram]

Halo:Reach at TGS? Really? Am I missing something here?

Didn't they unveil ODST at TGS?

I am hoping for a Blue Dragon 2 or Lost Odyssey 2 announcement myself.

Rumor: The sun will come up tomorrow.

Couldn't of said it better. The sky is blue etc etc.

Well Rare was at GamesCom, but they forgot to take their game with them.

[Woo-Fu]

Shane Kim is excited about announcing Resident Evil 5.

[JustAnotherOtaku]

More RPGs, shmups and iMAS/Dream Club type stuff please :)

[harSon]

This is Mistwalker's last chance to regain my trust :(

[iceatcs]

for Rare - Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise for Japan, I'm not sure if it is not yet out.

But I think we will get more shmups, girlfriend simulate etc...
