Aaron Greenberg on NextBox: E3 is all about the games, "tons of exclusives"

Reading this thread; people are starting to get scared that Microsoft will actually deliver. So much salt.

Hooboy, I figured there'd some salt in here when I clicked the link, but you guys surpassed my expectations. People sure like to forget how on point Microsoft was with publishing in the pre-Kinect part of the 360's lifespan. I expect no less from them this time around. Can't wait to see what they have to offer.

Amazing isn't it?

It's like a clarion call went out and they all came rushing in to mock and spin on cue. I fully expect tears of anger from certain gaming segments this tuesday.

Dear lord, if this thread is any indication, we'll be drowning in blood come E3. Salty, salty blood.

I'm quite curious as to where all this salt everyone keeps referring to is coming from.

That's good to hear. Exclusives are what should sell the console the most.

Incredible how no Durango software images have leaked.

No concept art...

Nothing...

WTF?

But it didn't happen with the PS4 and the Wii U either. Nothing as amazing as you claim it to be.

Yeah.

But GG did give away that another Killzone was probably coming.

That isn't the same as software images leaking. :p

If this is true, Sony is in big trouble as they cannot afford exclusives other than the ones they develop themselves.
You need stop taking these Sony has no money threads as fact. I understand but you would be quite wrong. They have made a decision and a smart one at that not to rely on third parties but make an effort to produce quality and variety from their own studios.
Getting a lvl here and there is one thing but hey E3 will be here and then 'winters coming' so we shall see.

I'm wondering if the Fable series can be saved. After Journey and that Heroes game I'm having serious doubts that its going to be good again.

Anyone who wasn't trolling or simply an MS hater knew there'd be plenty of exclusives.

It's Microsofts MO. Get all the new IPs and exclusives out early when the small base is starved for new games, then go safe to see out the gen. I expect the same with Infinity.

But can you blame anyone? The gen has lasted 8 years. MS was doing what you said from 2005 to 2008 or so.
 
I love a joke just as much as the next guy but the 3rd or 4th time a "Kinect, lol" or "Ads, lol" joke comes up in the same page it ceases to be funny. I have no problem with the joking or mocking or FUDding or whatever but come up with some new material, it's all so predictable and lame. What about "RROD, lol" jokes? Or "Subsciption, lol". There are plenty of other avenues to attack, guys.
 
looking forward to Rare's game.

(09:39:41) miDnIghtEr20C: if it's like that... then you just gave me a morning boner
(09:39:44) Source:: Then I think you'll like what's coming from Rare...

I think it's more for the reason Pachter said. The sheer amount of money a console holder gets over the life of a console from the early adopters is staggering. That's why what's happening to Nintendo with the Wii U right now is so disastrous for them. Sony and Microsoft both desperately want the bulk of the early adopters in the US and Europe. I look forward to seeing how each attempts to lure me.

At this point people are deciding on which consoles to purchase for next-gen, so they're subconsciously (or maybe not) justifying their potential purchase, leading to these excessively negative remarks on anything related to Microsoft.

Securing a large number of exclusives early on to build momentum.

Microsoft had more of an advantage of building exclusives when they were the only console on the market. The PS3's own design issues gave them an even bigger footing for comfort and precedence in the marketplace. It's not hard to secure exclusives when your direct competition is late to the party and has lots of tape to get through.

It's going to be interesting to see what the design philosophies are for Microsoft's new system. I have not heard a single claim that has made me even slightly interested in the platform. Everything has sounded like a nightmare. I hope the reveal addresses these, because that's the only way I'd feel comfortable in ever supporting the platform.
 
Kinect? Kinect.

Yep, 360 dominated up until the end of 2008. Sony was pretty pathetic back then yet some people here celebrate the PS3 as if it never did anything wrong. I have a feeling that these people are going to feel really silly when MS unveils what they have in store.

A thread of persecution complex and salt from both sides, each trying to out-do one another by taking a higher moral ground.

There will be Kinect exclusives, Microsoft will need it to showcase their new tech. It won't be just their internal studios either, they need to show that 3rd party embrace the tech. That is not to say there won't be 'core' exclusive games and DLC either.

How many Microsoft published Kinect games are there? Judging by all the exclusive kinect game posts there should be no less than 30
I think it's the majority of MS's output since it's release. However, it was an attempt to widen the audience, so I don't see why they'd do it right out the gate this time. They'll focus on the 'core' for a year or two.

MS has the money to throw down for exclusives, in just not sure if they see the need or hope to coast on being the 3rd party game player of choice

I understand saving a lot of games for E3, but there better be more (as in core, not Kinect) than COD Ghosts on May 21st.

Great post. Next thing you know, it'll all be about post history even though duckroll warned everyone before not to do it as some sort of meta discussion.


Edit: And there it is! Haha.
