This list is courtesy of IGN Forum's Vspectra & Bizzare Forum's HUZZ:

This is from the latest Xbox World 360 magazine. Credit goes to HUZZ from the Bizarre forums to make a summary on which games are supposively going to be revealed.

Avalon

From: Climax
Out: Early 2007
What we know: Cars and boats and planes. With big guns. Online. In development for yonks and playable at Climax HQ, Xbox World 360 was the first magazine in the world to publish a screenshot from the game - a game that will bring the rusty 'vehicular combat' genre back from the scrapyard, and buff it up with a unique twist - a twist that is still to be revealed...

BC

From: Lionhead
Out: 2007
What we know: We asked Peter Molyneux to his face if this Flintstones-'em-up is back on after being 'suspended' last October - and he just couldn't say no. This will be a standout (and likely exclusive) 360 game: you in the shoes of an early human tribe, punching dinosaurs and fending off creatures trying to knock **** Sapiens off the evolutionary tree. Ambitiously, every rock, tree and flaming stick will be interactive - and LIVE support is a cert.
See 360's power in... Groundbreakingly realistic fire that engulfs man, meat, tree and T-Rex.

Bioware Game

From: Bioware
Out: Early 2007
What we know: the rumours that proceeded the new Bioware title (Unreal Engine plus role-playing) points to the newly announced 'Mass Effect'. However there's also another game deep in development in Canada - and it's not 'Jade Empire 2'.
See 360's power in... Bioware's ability to craft a snaking winding, fully blown story.

Brute Force 2

From: Digital Anvil
Out: 2006
What we know: An admission: we're not sure if Digital anvil's secret project, which we know they've been working on since the year dot, is a sequel to their meaty master-blaster of '03. And we're unsure when they'll be done (although, as they were still recruiting 360 coders back in April 2004, it's a while away). But, like a spleen, we know it's there.
See 360's power in... The tasty trillion-player squad based LIVE multiplayer.

The Chronicles of Riddick 2

From: Starbreeze
Out: 2006
What we know: One of the worst kept, secrets in the development world thanks to Vin Diesel himself confirming its existance, our spies tell us Swedish coders Starbreeze are hard at work on this, though the game will likely come after the release of comcic book license 'The Darkness'.
See 360's power in... Open air enviroments set away from the prison of the first game.

Fable 2

From: Lionhead
Out: Christmas 2007
What we know: Beans spilled everywhere courtesy of Microsoft employee Shane Kim, who admitted Fable 2 has been on the go since April. This is Big Blue Box's opportunity to bring us what they didn't in Fable the first: truly open-ended adventuring, a more realistic ageing proces - and a story that "lasts longer than 25 minuts", to quote one disgruntled Xbox World reader.
See 360's power in... The ability to map your own face to your character via the 360 Live Camera.

GTA 6

From: Rockstar
Out: 2007
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Half-Life 3

From: Valve
Out: 2008
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Forza Motorsprt 2

From: Microsoft
Out: Christmas 2006
What we know: Another rip-roaring sequel confirmed, with at least ten months development work behind it already. 'Forza 2' will out-LIVE even 'Gotham 3' - when you hear talk of planet-wide tournaments with real cash prizes, 'Forza' seems the best bet for such decadence. Microsoft will very likely open its fat wallet to draw level with the rollcall of manufacturers and vehicles from 'Gran Turismo' too.

Halo 3

From: Bungie
Out: 2007
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Hitman 5

From: Io Interactive
Out: Late 2006
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Man With No Name Games

From: Eidos
Out: Late 2006
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Jade Empire 2

From: Bioware
Out: Late 2006
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Ninja Gaiden 2

From: Tecmo
Out: 2007
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Outrun Coast 2 Coast

From: Sega
Out: Early 2007
What we know: Whether that's its final title name, only Makoto Osaki's brain knows. But with Sega firing out public trademark applications using just that title, you join the club of people who know that The Big S are working on a third instalment of the revered franchise - which like 'Outrun 2', will hit arcades first, then get shunted over to the 360 for your pleasure.
See 360's power in... Massive online modes to match 'Gotham' and 'Forza 2'.

Pro Evolution Soccer 6

From: Konami
Out: Late 2006
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Rallisport Challenge 3

From: Digital Illusions
Out: Late 2006
What we know:
See 360's power in...

The Sims 3

From: Maxis
Out: 2007
What we know:
See 360's power in...

Splinter Cell 5

From: Ubisoft

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic III

..year of the sequels?

 

[Kon Tiki]

Wow. They just took a game that was on xbox and added a subsequential number to it. Very Nintendo.

 

[op_ivy]

BC! awesome

 

[jet1911]

BC! Woot!

 

[Speevy]

Sounds like a fairly obvious and inevitable lineup to me.

Though I want my Crimson Skies and Mech Assault 3.

 

[sonycowboy]

GTA 6

From: Rockstar
Out: 2007
What we know:
See 360's power in...

6??

 

[Shaheed79]

Sequels Ahoy!

Brute Force? It must of sold decent afterall.

 

[op_ivy]

rsc3 from dice? unlikely...

 

[SolidSnakex]

6??

I guess Rockstar didn't think GTA4 and GTA5 were important.

 

[Speevy]

6??

edit: nm

 

[Straightballin]

Whats up with GTA on xbox 360 is it coming a year after it realeses on the ps3 like it does right now with the ps2?

 

[Amir0x]

GTA6 360 = PS3 exclusive bomba

 

[bishoptl]

...4 and 5 = Vice City and San Andreas, respectively. Unless you were being sarcastic. I can never tell anymore with you people.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Hmm can't say I'm convinced and some of the games listed are extremely obvious but if Rallisport Challenge 3, a brand new Bioware title, KOTOR III & Outrun Coast 2 Coast get announced then I'm going to be happy

Oh and Digital Anvil need to do an Xbox 360 Freelancer game rather than Brute Force 2. I'm sure a new Brute Force wouldn't be as bad as the first game but Freelancer was great and I'd love a sequel.

 

[Lakitu]

what lol

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Good to see BC is still around in some form, now bring back True Fantasy Online.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Xbox World 360 magazine

isn't this the magazine that said it had exclusive halo 3 info which turned out to be their wish list? :lol

 

[bishoptl]

One and the same.

 

[Borys]

isn't this the magazine that said it had exclusive halo 3 info which turned out to be their wish list? :lol

NEVER FORGET

Hey bish, where's your avatar from? It looks like Ultima 7's main menu butterfly but I'm 100% sure it ain't, so...?

 

[SolidSnakex]

...4 and 5 = Vice City and San Andreas, respectively. Unless you were being sarcastic. I can never tell anymore with you people.

Hasn't Rockstar said that VC wasn't GTA4? That'd mean SA wasn't GTA4/5 either.

 

[bishoptl]

stole the butterfly from some geocities site. I'm all about simplifying my avatars as 2005 winds to a close and Xbox 360 prepares to unleash its sticky gaming fluid all over your happy faces.

 

[siege]

Wow, almost every single game is a sequel.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Hasn't Rockstar said that VC wasn't GTA4? That'd mean SA wasn't GTA4/5 either.

Yes and yes....

 

[datruth29]

Wow thats alot of sequals. But still, its good to show that the Xbox will have some great software on it.

 

[mj1108]

Wow, almost every single game is a sequel.

Which makes me think that this list was probably contrived from fanboy wishes more than any real information.

 

[Bumblescum]

Splinter Cell 5

From: Ubisoft
Out: 2007
What we know:
See 360's power in...

They're gonna have info on Splinter Cell 5 before they have info on Splinter Cell 4?

Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

That list is a crock of shit.

 

[Foil]

Wow, almost every single game is a sequel.

Uhh you realise that there will be quite a few new IP's as well..... It's not like the developers will just come out and tell you every single 360 game in the works.

 

[Wario64]

OMG! X360 GAMES IN 2006?!?!?!

 

[mj1108]

OMG! X360 GAMES IN 2006?!?!?!

I know. Amazing, huh?

Outrun Coast 2 Coast



From: Sega

[Funky Papa]

See 360's power in... Open air enviroments set away from the prison of the first game.

I'd swear that jetjevons denied this one long time ago (before it was even a rumour) Brute Force 2 sounds like an odd pick too.

 

[imastalker co.]

don't mean to come off as a troll, but exactly how is this line up going to attract new gamers like they said the 360 will? or are they banking on live arcade to bring in all the velocity girls of the world?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Wow. They just took a game that was on xbox and added a subsequential number to it. Very Nintendo.

I love how people think that Nintendo is the only offender of this...

Jak 1-3 in ONE generation
Sly 1-3 in ONE generation
GTA3, VC, SA, LCS in ONE generation
Ratchet and Clank 1-3 in ONE generation
Splinter Cell 1-87 in ONE generation

Grow up.

 

[Shinobi]

Er, why the issue with sequels now? Weren't people creaming their pants back at E3 when games with 4's, 5's, 6's and 7's following their names were being demoed for PS3? Besides, I doubt listing original game titles with names featuring "Orion", "Requim Moon", "Bubba the Chimp" or "Legend of Shigar: Claw of the Bald Eagle" is gonna mean as much to people as seeing Halo 3 or GTA 9.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Which makes me think that this list was probably contrived from fanboy wishes more than any real information.

Come on, do you really think a magazine that'd make a cover like this would do something like that?

 

[jetjevons]

I'd swear that jetjevons denied this one long time ago (before it was even a rumour) Brute Force 2 sounds like an odd pick too.

As of now Sbz are a one team shop and they are currently developing The Darkness. After that they have an unnannounced project with VUG.

It is possible they will create a Riddick sequel at some point but not for a loooong time.

 

[Speevy]

don't mean to come off as a troll, but exactly how is this line up going to attract new gamers like they said the 360 will? or are they banking on live arcade to bring in all the velocity girls of the world?

Quality in popular genres.

Variety of popular genres.

Developer support to ensure future quality and variety.

Were you expecting some JRPG's? Puppy simulators?

 

[Borys]

"Legend of Shigar: Claw of the Bald Eagle"

I'd actually play that.

 

[Jonnyram]

Hasn't Rockstar said that VC wasn't GTA4? That'd mean SA wasn't GTA4/5 either.

Regardless of the official stance, many magazines still referred to them as GTA4 and 5 until the real names were known I doubt the final title will be GTA6 in this case.

Not going to happen.

There are way too many Bioware games rumored about. We know what two out of their three teams are doing. That they have Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and a yet to be announced project.

Rallisport Challenge 3

Doubt it.

 

[imastalker co.]

Quality in popular genres.

how is this going to expand that current xbox market? going off of that, it seems like they're sticking to the same gameplan. i just don't see how that line up is going to reach the super casuals that they claim they're going to get with 360.

i mean look, im not bashing the 360. im sure i'll get it's fair share of FPS, Racing, and Sports games. but as of now, it's obviously more of the same. not to say that there's anything wrong with that. i just don't see how they intend to expand the market by doing the same thing.

so once again, are they just banking on live arcade and microtransactions to bring in all the velocity girls of the world?

 

[Prine]

Not going to happen.

.

There is a god

Brute Force is one of the worst games i've played, right down ther with Tales of Symphonia

 

[Kleegamefan]

Yeah, sequalitis is a non-issue for me.....here are some of my favorite games of this gen:

Zelda WW
Metroid Prime
GT4
Halo2
GTA:SA
RE4
MGS3
Rallysport Challange 2
Ridge Racers


All of which are great games AND are sequels......

Not only that, but new consoles ALWAYS hype up sequels at first.....many of them are followups of good games and console makers usually like to mention sequels to popular games because they are trying to sell a new console and want to reassure their potential fanbase that the next gen version of X game is on the way for the new console......Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all do it and so do the 3rd parties......

Of course, all 3 next-gen consoles will and do have their share of new IPs as has been the case since like forever and will continue forever....

Nothing to see here, move along....

 

[Suikoguy]

So once again, are they just banking on live arcade and microtransactions to bring in all the velocity girls of the world?

In a word:

Yes

No games or nongames like Nintendogs to attempt to bring in other audiances.

Also, that mag cover makes me apreciate how unbiased OPM really is. They do their fair share of complaining about sony consoles, more then I would expect from a Offical Mag.

 

[isamu]

at least a force feedback wheel will be out by then, and I know EviLore, sp0rsks, bishop, amiR0x or tetsuoxb will all pitch in to buy me one.

 

[Ford Prefect]

Though my image manipulation skills border on primeval, I feel this needed to be done.

 

[Shinobi]

I'd actually play that.

It'd be funny as hell if that name was used for a game. :lol Of course I'd demand a cut of the royalties...

 

[isamu]

What do you think will happen first.....Dragona and I getting married? Or a Force Feedback wheel released Xbox 360?

 

[Shinobi]

at least a force feedback wheel will be out by then, and I know EviLore, sp0rsks, bishop, amiR0x or tetsuoxb will all pitch in to buy me one.

Yeah, right after the board chips in for that 60 inch HDTV you've drooled over the last five years.

Avalon

From: Climax
Out: Early 2007
What we know: Cars and boats and planes. With big guns. Online. In development for yonks and playable at Climax HQ, Xbox World 360 was the first magazine in the world to publish a screenshot from the game - a game that will bring the rusty 'vehicular combat' genre back from the scrapyard, and buff it up with a unique twist - a twist that is still to be revealed...

Xbox world wasn't the first mag to publish the screens. The game was announced as a PS3 title first and I think Edge had the first screens
