I came into work (9:00 am) and as I was checking over my e-mails I glanced over the first page of GAF and there was no thread which said "DMC 4 for 360 and PC...CONFIRMED".
So much so I went into the Japanese magazine thread and asked if it had been confirmed as it was mentioned in the Famitsu news post.
I go over to CVG and they have it as a news story. I stand by what I wrote. My own personal expeirience of this was really quiet. I'm not dismissing it as a story that will have no impact by any means. I just thought that GAF would be a smoldering mess after such an announcement.
Let the games begin.....

Now I NEED to buy a 360. AC6 FTW

I imagine the situation with NAMCO and Ace Combat will mirror that of Ridge Racer 6 on the 360.
But as it is, it's a major blow in the PR turf war. I wouldn't be surprised if NAMCO and MS have signed a deal for another IP of theirs to debut on the 360 like RR6.
I don't think so. RR6 was released on a system along 2 other racing games (PGR3 and NFS:MW), and was totally forgotten by the vast majority of gamers when compared especially to PGR3 graphically. The fact that it was a totally arcade gameplay didn't help either.Busty said:
AC6 will be the only game of its type on 360, and thus will certainly draw a lot more attention. I'm actually quite sure it will sell very well (as long as the game is good of course).

wow, I thought it was April 1st or something when I arrived here :lol
I wonder if Namco will aim for the 3-chain as in killing Tales too.

I wasn't referring to sales. I was referring to the fact that NAMCO seemed to dodge the exclusivity of Ridge Racer 6 on the 360 by having Ridge Racer 7 on the PS3.
For what it's worth, I think that AC 6 will be a sizeable performer on the 360. With the seemingly extensive LIVE aspect to the game, I think it'll perform. Unless of course it's awful...... but I doubt that.
Blimblim said:Well there is only the 360 logo in that Famitsu page. It's usually a fair indication of the game exclusivity
As for Over G... No comment
Like I said before, Ace Comat 6 exclusive to the 360, Ace Combat 7 exclusive to the PS3.
It's going to be like Ridge Racer 6 and 7 all over again. I doubt this will be the last NAMCO IP to undergo such treatment.......
What incentive would Namco have to do this though? RR6->RR7 was a logical step, but unless MS gave a lot of money for an exclusive AC6 why would Namco do this?Busty said:
After all RR7 is a very small progression from RR6, lots of tracks in common and all. You can't really do that on a flight sim game, especially one where the story is quite important.
Let's work on this together, eh... RR6 could not be multiplatform because it came out a year before the PS3. They couldn't very well release the exact same game a year later for the PS3 launch (though it was as close as humanly possible). If anything, they will release AC6 on PS3 after an exclusivity period, but they wouldn't miss 6 and jump to 7, especially not like RR, which was basically the same game plus alpha.Busty said:

I agree, it's just you yourself said that....
Blimblim said:Well there is only the 360 logo in that Famitsu page. It's usually a fair indication of the game exclusivity
So if MS did secure the exclusive for AC6 then AC7 would be the logical progression that would allow NAMCO to bypass the exclusivity.
For what it's worth I seriously doubt that AC6 will be a 360 exclusive, barring perhaps the Japanese market, I think there's an excellent chance that AC6 will be time and date released on the 360 and PS3. Or given a small window of exclusivity like VF5.
Of course this has a whole wider, darker, more devastating implication then anyone has thought of....
... this means my whole CELLIUS, second party theory is royally ****ed.....BAH....
*throws tin foil hat on the ground*
RR7 can't by any means be considered a sequel of RR6. If AC6 is indeed Xbox 360 exclusive, sells nicely, and then AC7, being a true sequel or at least a completely different game, is exclusive PS3 then a *lot* of people will be pissed off by Namco.Busty said:
Almost no one cared when RR7 was announced on PS3 only, that wouldn't be the case if with AC7. That's my whole point.

well you could say alot of ps fans might be pissed that ACVI is coming to 360 right now... a pc version would make a lot of sense though

That's very true of course. But a platform change makes more sense in the beginning of a generation than in the middle.
true and honestly I think this game, while not a huge series, would fit just as well on the 360 easily...jet fighting games have a much bigger legacy in the west than in the east

The physical form of blasphemy
The enemies better be super strong. If they are as dumb as they were in 3, style changing could quite possibly make DMC4 easy as hell. I'll approach that cautiously.
Anyways...
SCANS! Where are they!?

Good to see Co-Op in AC6. That's fricken sweet. I think the real progress in fun would be co-op. I'm not sure Ace Combat's gameplay really lends itself to a solid, deep multiplayer. I haven't played the last one and AC5 wasn't really as exciting as AC4. But Co-op could make it a great thing.
MS drop the price. 100 bucks. Not that weak ass 50 or 70 dollar drop.
