Trolls are busy today, what's got their goat?

I'm scared

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Personally I like it when MS gets Japanese developers on board with XBLA, so more of that would be great. I want to know what the Pacman CE/Galaga Legions devs are up to at the moment.

This. ALL this.

Pac-Man CE was a revelation.

And here we go again. Funny thing is that if this thread was Sony related you would be like "omg!!! excite!!!" (and same goes for many people in there)

 

[clashfan]

Hopefully they won't do a gimmicky slim version like sony.

 

[Fixed1979]

I'm curious to see what they will show, I've been getting the impression that their Japan strategy didn't work and they've given up.

Also, this made me giggle...MS can be so gracious at times.

...we are going to step aside and let Sony have a turn on the stage.

 

[Raist]

Totally unexpected and very informative.

 

[sixteen-bit]

What's Yukio Futatsugi up to these days?

nothing

I think he works a managerial position at Mistwalker.

 

[beast786]

They should just throw away the Forza 2 / ODST part, put only a couple of tracks in and a handful of cars, add "Prologue" and delay the real game by 2-3 years or so

$40

Well, he is a troll. Whats your excuse?

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

More shmups and/or ADVs please!

 

[deepbrown]

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.

Oh and there's something about Reach...

meh don't really care about Reach, this is the real news:

That explains their strategy in Japan completely doesn't it? Stepping aside for Sony.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

New Rare stuff? You've got my undivided attention, Microsoft.

fake?

 

[Astery]

That has not stopped them from recycling the same E3 presentation again and again

NATAL with an asian twist

i see what you did there.jpg

 

[Barakov]

I guess it's too much to hope for Sakaguchi to make a surprise appearance.....

 

[SimpleDesign]

I'm sure he'll be showing off his next DS/Wii title.

 

[pswii60]

I wouldn't expect that article to hold any real bearing on what will actually happen at TGS. Before every event we see articles from unknown sites like this but unless it's based on actual leaks (eg PS3 Slim, price drop) then rarely does any of it become true.

Still, it'd obviously be very nice to know what Rare is actually up to.

 

[PJX]

nothing

I think he works a managerial position at Mistwalker.

Nope. He has his own studio and he is working on a Wiiware game for the Wii to be published by Nintendo.

 

[chrissedoff]

I can't imagine they'll unveil anything really juicy at TGS. Probably going to be Ninja Blade 2 or some boring Mistwalker JRPG.
Or Peace Walker on XBLA, that would be funny to see the reactions, at least.

 

[FateBreaker]

I hear Forza ODST will be there, it's got Forza 2 plus all the cars. Plus a beta to Forza 3

$60

Really? I didn't. I did hear that Sony will announce a release date for Gran Turismo 5 Epilogue for $60. Boy oh boy, that means we're even closer to GT5!

some boring Mistwalker JRPG.

I hope you are one of a very rare breed.

 

[FateBreaker]

whoops, double post, sorry

 

[Calcaneus]

I don't get it, why are people talking about RE5?

 

[Peff]

I don't get it, why are people talking about RE5?

Shane Kim "announcing" RE5 coming to 360 as great news when it was multiplatform from the very beginning. Old meme is old.

If this was from Sony you would've already started to masturbate.

 

[TheSeks]

Well, he is a troll. Whats your excuse?

Something about sore butts...

I don't get it, why are people talking about RE5?

MS: Well, you know... Biohazard 5 was just announced to be coming to the X-box 360...

Some gaming dude: WE KNEW THAT ALREADY!

MS: Really?

SGD: REALLY! FOR YEARS NOW!

MS: ...Huh...

Wait, I don't understand, this sounds like the regular jab at GT Prologue, but what has ODST got to do with it ?

Maybe the fact that Halo 3's last maps that were originally PLANNED TO RELEASE WITH THE FIRST THREE OF MYTHIC about... TWO YEARS AGO was delayed to prop this up among the Halo 3 fans. Sour grapes from me all you want, but that was fucking stupid on MS part (but it'll sell ODST to people that had no interest in it in the first place) to shortchange fans of Halo 3 by making one of the "map packs" exclusive to the new $60 campaign expansions.

 

[goomba]

Is Natal actually going to be the final name ?

It sounds like a baby incubator.

 

[harSon]

I'm under the impression that they've given up on the Japanese market, with the current Japanese lineup they have, they should be having a much bigger show than what they look to be having.

 

[[Nintex]]

What if Rare announced something, now that would be a miracle. Also since when is Tokyo Game Show a competition? I thought it was the annual "Nintendo doesn't attend but the Japanese gaming industry is still relevant even though our best designers are scattered all over the place and Yoichi Wada will stab Matsuno in his eyes at first sight!" conference.

 

[distantmantra]

Pretty much. Still waiting for him to respond...

 

[SapientWolf]

meh don't really care about Reach, this is the real news:
"Moreover, a new Rare title is expected to be announced at the event"

Killer Instinct 3 confirmed.

I don't think the Rare from the N64 days exists anymore, so it's hard to get excited. N&B was fun though, so there's a glimmer of hope.

 

[Andronicus]

Surrender to PS3

 

[Noshino]

And you would be saying the same as he is, so really if your point was to make fun of yourself, then you have done a great job, +1 buddy

 

[intheinbetween]

i expected nothing from MS the moment i knew they weren't holding a keynote at TGS this year, so this is good news (if they announce something new)

 

[MightyHedgehog]

nothing

I think he works a managerial position at Mistwalker.

Awww...that's too bad.

Nope. He has his own studio and he is working on a Wiiware game for the Wii to be published by Nintendo.

Oh, cool. Any info?

 

[dragonfart28]

They need to have some playable Natal titles ready.

 

[careful]

Exclusive Halo Reach reveal.... to thunderous apathy!

 

[intheinbetween]

They need to have some playable Natal titles ready.

if Natal is dated for fall 2010 i guess it's still too early to put some playable titles at the booth

 

[ksamedi]

I would love to see a (true) sequel to Blue Dragon and/or Lost Odyssey.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

What's Yukio Futatsugi up to these days?

The last thing I remember is that he left MS, and that's was a good thing because MS was wasting his talent on overseeing games like 99 Nights.

 

[intheinbetween]

I would love to see a (true) sequel to Blue Dragon and/or Lost Odyssey.

me too, i hope MW (or Artoon) keep using the Blue Dragon engine, it still looks gorgeous

 

[MelloBoy]

Natal's being shown off on a TV show in Japan, supposedly, today I believe so...might be possible?

 

[HiResDes]

I disagree wholeheartedly...And I would much rather see a Lost Odyssey sequel than Blue Dragon, which is like a soulless DQ with slightly better combat.

soulless? come one. it's obvious the story is kinda bland, and the characters are just kids, but i had good times playing BD. and i prefer BD engine (it's still beautiful) for RPGs than UE3.

Meh. Halo (and Bungie) fans got shortchanged when MS decided to charge for maps in the first place (and never make them free).

Hopefully Rare shows something good.

 

[squall211]

I would love to have MS announce an exclusive JRPG or two. Since I'll be buying Demon Souls, FFXIII, WKC, and SO4 all for the PS3 within the next 6-8 months, I'd like to show the 360 some lovin'.

Spoiler

In other words, please announce Lost Odyssey 2, thanks!

 

[goldenpp72]

id rather buy 2 copies of blue dragon 2 than 1 copy of lost odyssey 2

 

[Keikoku]

And you would be saying the same as he is, so really if your point was to make fun of yourself, then you have done a great job, +1 buddy

No.

 

[HiResDes]

I'd rather buy one copy of Cry On : (
I think the biggest problem I had with Blue Dragon, was that it reared one of the main problems I had with Lost Odyssey to an even greater degree.

Mistwalker needs to find the right balance between including a class system that turns party members into a generic mishmash of spells and skills and creating a class system that lets you customize your characters in endless ways.
