now that TGS is done, on to X05

We've never even gotten a proper Perfect Dark Zero trailer. There's already an undeserving amount of hype for PDZ, but it might be a good idea for them to maybe actually release a video trailer that shows off the gameplay, storyline, and characters in this game. Wouldn't be such a bad idea to do that for Kameo as well.
Most important is that games like PGR3, PDZ, Ghost Recon and Oblivion finally be playable for everyone who attends X'05.

I just want more Oblivion stuff, cause thats all that matters! Screw Halo. FEAR for 360 would be nice, too, as I doubt my PC could handle it right now.
I'd like to see some actual gameplay of The Darkness from StarBreeze (makers of Riddick/Enclave) as well as more footage of Prey from 2KGames.

Pretty good call on The Darkness. The devs really stepped up with Riddick. Lets hope they can do it again.

Yup, it's about time for Mr. Fisher to make an appearance. His game is due in March anyways. I think he'll be there
Starbreeze is one of the most underrated developers out there so I know they will do a great job with The Darkness.
Prey is doing some stuff I've never seen any other games attempt before. I love the way it messes with you with perspectives and gravity. I'm really looking forward to it.

I find this hard to believe. I think we will see a PS3 launch well before MGS4 is out. Hopefully sometime in the late Spring or the summer.
Anyway I want to all the launch games running on final kits and also some new stuff would be nice.

I think a short Halo 3 teaser at X05 is a must....
Why save it till E3 where it could possibly be schooled by a newer MGS4 trailer not to mention Mario 128?
With X05, MS can control all the rules and there is no chance of Halo 3 being one-upped by Revolution and/or PS3...
Sony did a good job at E3 in that they reassured their fans all the franchises they are come to love will be represented on PS3...
MS could do well to do the same thing with Halo 3....

Eh...I believe MGS4 will be a 2007 game. And I also believe that there is no way, no way at all that Sony is going to give up 2006 entirely up to the 360(next-gen wise, of course
). Otherwise they would be displaying arrogance of Nintentastic proportions.Anyway, I hope we get some good RR6 media this time...it's pretty much the only 360 game I'm interested in.
I also think MS will show a brief Halo 3 teaser, just to remind gamers it's coming(creating hype of in the process). Kleegamefan

Yes, PS3 in (fall) 2006 in the US and MGS4/Gran Turismo 5 in 2007...

errr because its about the hyping the game and not just showing a trailer? Even if they were just "showing a trailer" Sony has already shown its hand with MGS4. there isnt anything more exciting they can do besides a killer action sequence and even if they did it would most likely be in the same league graphically as the TGS showing. Bungie now has a scope of that they need to do to raise the bar.

Some of you guys are expecting way too much and are setting yourselves up for major disappointment. Knowing how Bungie is and the whole Halo 2 debacle with it's unveiling and seeing how the game changed so much I doubt there will be a Halo 3 announcement of any kind. If there is so much as a Halo 3 logo displayed I will be shocked. I am sure the launch games will all be there in playable form plus some others that will be out in the following months of the systems launch. I also expect there to be some announcements of games with some having a short preview accompanying them. Shadowrun maybe another Crimson Skies sequel the 2k sports line-up. They will give us just enough to look forward to which will be not enough for some people but I expect them to keep a bunch a stuff under wraps for next years E3 to fully compete with Nintendo and Sony.

Mizoguchi is one of my favorite devs, and Ninety Nine Nights is still the most intriguing title for me personally on the 360, so I hope we see more of that. I fully expect to once again be underwhelmed by nearly every other title though.
Slightly related note: I still haven't gotten around to viewing on media on N3 since it's announcement, can anyone fill me in on why so many consider its TGS showing a disappointment?

Keep in mind Bungie is in the process of moving its offices, so either they finished up a potential H3 teaser a few days/weeks ago, or there isn't going to be one. Judging that we haven't heard any leaks about it... I'm hesitant to think there will be anything substantial shown.
I would like to be surprised but then again, I don't want to wait 2+ years from seeing the next game to playing the next game.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking as well. Ubi has always done a bang-up job graphically with that series. Furthermore, I don't think anyone will be able to knock it's animation, because SC has always appeared very fluid in motion to my eyes.
I guess it's a moot point ultimately since it's coming out for the PS3 as well; but it will give some more insight into what the 360 is capable of.
I think they should show a surprise trailer that starts out looking like Halo 3, Master Chief and all. Then have him get bitch-slapped by Joanna Dark and have it transition to a showcase of the real-time of PD0, assuming it doesn't still look like ass.
It'd be a good way to get people talking about both games, and might give PD0 a little bit of credibility.

x05 will be all about PD0. They want to really wow everyone with it, it seems. Hope they dont fall flat on their faces ala Wallguy again.
I think Che's Superton might show up too. My bet is it being VF5 or Shenmue 3.

Keeping Halo3 underwraps and unloading it at e3 would be the best thing to do. The first trailer of a hotly anticipated game is the most important IMO, now that we've seen MGS4 (even though it wasnt that much) the initial buzz is lost, we have some idea of what to expect, unlike Halo3 where everybody will be speculating, creating hype/buzz. All eyes will be on MS to come up with the goods, Bungie have a benchmark to surpass and what better way than to blow everyone away (like they did with first Halo2 unveiling) than to show it at e3.
It'll be part of MS 2nd gen games, Bungie should know the hardware pretty well, and put together a great cutscene or playable demo (with Marty O Donnel score)

Launch is very important i think a glimpse of Halo 3 (maybe some sony style target Render
) will go a long ass way to building a ton of hype for the system. PD0 is very important to MS right now but HALO is their bread and butter.

Don't toy with my emotions. I hope, with MS taking a flyer on part 2, Sega rewards them with completing the saga on the 360

If that Ryu whatever game for PS2 does well enough, there is maybe hope yet.

Well, with that new IP they have on the PS2, they have proven that they have the money to do this. Yu said the story has long been done, just needs funding. I guess update the fighting with a little VF4 or VF5 flavor. Let Ryo or Ren kick Lan Di's ass in the end, my 360 purchase is worth it tenfold.

Basically Level 5 sat on their laurels when it came to TFLO. They were way overbudget and behind schedule with no end in development in sight. I won't say they appropriated funds for use in other projects...just that they really didn't handle the TFLO project properly at all. Had MS allowed them to continue dev'ing it'd likely be out sometime next year instead of the 2004 release that was originally planned.
Personally I don't blame MS for cancelling...especially after how Atlus jerked them around with SMT9/SMT nocturne.
Wow, this is the most absurd thing I've ever read. It really ended up being a 10 page thread on TXB? :lolFiRez said:They used all the funds that MS give to them to make DQ8 and/or RG (Source: A Thread of 10 pages from TXB
Level 5 doesn't fully fund their own projects, they aren't even close to being large enough to generate that kind of capital. Square Enix and Sony funded each title respectively, so that kinda debunks that rumor right there.
This isn't how it went down AT ALL.DarkCloud said:
According to what I know, TFLO was over 80% complete, but throughout development two major problems plagued the title, both instigated by MS Japan. Firstly, Level 5 was having an extremely difficult time properly implementing the voice chat in the game (you can probably understand why), but MSJ was intensely adamant that without VC, they would pull funding. Secondly, MSJ and Level 5's vision on the title was almost completely opposite. Level 5 wanted to create the title to be more casual and easy to play (think WoW) whereas MSJ desperately wanted a typical EQ style MMO, that would hook JP players and bring in a good amount of income over a long while. Needless to say, there was much strife between the two over the subject, and they were never able to see eye to eye.
Supposedly, Level 5 got so tired of MSJ's control over the title, and they're incessant disapproval of each subsequent build, that they offered up an ultimatum of 'Let us finish it our way, or we halt development'. MSJ, being the company that we all know and love, doesn't take well to ego attacks, and as retaliation completely pulled all remaining funding on the project. Since Level 5 isn't nearly large enough to provide the funding to finish off even the last 15-20% of a title that enormous, they had no choice but to scrap all further development on the project. It is unofficially reported that Level 5 lost just over 80 million Yen (which is only ~$750,000, but that's alot for a dev like Level 5) on TFLO, and that doesn't even take into account all the lost man hours wasted on the title.
A really bad situation, and one that shouldn't have happened to a dev as good as Level 5. Hence why I believe a possible Level 5-MSJ relationship is completely out of the question for the next long while.
And don't get me started on how misconstrued the whole SMTNine ordeal is; MSJ is NOT the innocent little publisher in that circumstance either.
