Top 10 Unconfirmed 360 Exclusives @ E3 '08 (XboxOZ360)

Previously we've covered this year's strong and broad exclusive AAA lineup, but it wouldn't be E3 without at least a few surprises. Microsoft has already promised two unconfirmed titles will be revealed for this year's lineup, but on the strength of rumours on software and secret projects this year we've been emboldened to speculate on more than a couple. Or perhaps we're spreading our bets? Either way enjoy our take on what exclusive cards Microsoft is holding up its (very long) sleeves...

And where exactly does Bungie, Rockstar, a fugitive and someone Wake-ing up fit in?

Dead Rising 2 would be sweet particularly with some coop craziness, but if Microsoft don't show Alan Wake this E3 they should put him to sleep permanently!

I forgot not to comment about halo in any article with 360 in the title, guys c'mon, I love playing Halo, it's still my #1 game to play on line, but to say it's not generic and cleached is just blind fanboyism, and the masterchief is generic, no doubt, I'm just saying that the Halo Franchise is going off in diffrent directions because M$ loves its money, plus miganda, to accuse me of being a nintendo fanboy is stupid, I treat all games equally, I just favour Nintendo because in the last 18 years Nintendo has never let me down, and M$ is 3rd on my list behind Sony because they abandoned the PC, I mean yeah they make the operating system and software, but name one PC exclusive M$ has made for the PC in the last 3 years. Anyway, all you fanboys have ruined the games industry.

Well um MS is smart to continue the Halo series and is smart to continue it in another way bringing a huge seller to different types of gameplay and not the same FPS everytime.. what do you think SONY is doing with FF series, and the Socom series.. everyone still loves those and i rarely actually never hear any bad remarks on them and how many sequels they have...

1.5 - nintendo never let you down
lets see, that cartridge on the N64 was a smart move. how about those crapy mini disc on game cube? nintendo is not flawless. and speaking about flaws. you say micro is milking the halo series? talk to me when i see this. master chief tennis, go carts, baseball, racing sonic, paper rpg's,riding on dino's,fighting game, golfing. need i go on? being a nintendo fan you realy should'nt talk about milking anything. by the way hows that weight loss thing going. i bet you have loads of fun with that.

1.6 - uhh, god not again
well, how do you know nintendo's never let me down, I've already said that I'm not a Nintendo fanboy I just trust them more than other companies because since I played my first video game on the nes I have never been let down by nintendo, who cares about the cartridge, or mini disc, some of the best games ever were on the n64, hmm let me think, goldeneye, super mario 64, banjo kazooie, LOZ:OoT to name a few, and the gamecube, I enjoyed such games as Pikmin Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing, sure Nintendo has milked their franchises but did you ever think why? no. Nintendo only makes money from, selling consoles, controllers, games and accessorys, thats it. Sony make money by selling TV's, MP3 players, Stereos, Phones, M$ makes money by selling windows, nuff said, Nintendo relys on its games and consoles to survive so they need to make money. And how do you justify milking a series, there has been one 3d mario platformer for each console since the 64, one mario kart on each since snes, the only reason there is so many is because Nintendo has been around long before Sony and M$ even thought of the console market, and miganda I see u can't reply to this cause nobody wants to hear you talk because you are a fanboy. Of course M$ is smart to continue the Halo series, but does that mean its right? I'd rather be playing new IPs like Mirrors Edge, Little Big Planet and Alan Wake than playing the same recycled thing over and over. Oh and Sony isn't doing anything with the FF series, thats square enix, and they've been cashing in on remakes since the snes and I don't really care for JRPGs. Oh and miganda, I will never buy wii fit, I hate the wii, it has good games but I hate everything it stands for, but I still own it along with my 360/PS3/DS/PSP/ and to top it all off a top o the line gaming PC, whatever, the arguement against Halo will never be won.

That's true cos Bioware's new game is quite obviously Dragon Age, and Dead Rising 2 will (very likely) be Multi-platform.

IMO they should just stay exculsives because the first ones were 360 exculsive... its like bringing God of War 3 to the 360... unless they have plans to port the first ones over before hey release the new ones..

I'm from Australia and this site is officially endorsed as a "Friend of Microsoft" at Xbox.com (see here: http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/c...

I often post their articles because they have a uniquely Australian perspective on the industry and are a very vocal group of the 360 community in Australasia. So what if they use Wordpress, it may be a blog but so's 90% of the other gaming press out there! (Kotaku, MTV, Level Up, etc.).

Anyways enjoyable read as always, whether I agree with Mass Effect 2 being exclusive or not! lol

EDIT:

I'll second both of you on Riddick, bubbles for reminding me to look out for Dark Athena this week. :)

@ harry190 "

Obviously you don't look at 80% 0f the gaming sites out there, including all the majors. All started out as blogs, many still runs as blogs such as Joysiq, Xbox360fanboy, PS3fanboy, Destructoid etc etc etc. Many started life as humble beginnings and have worked their way up from that.

Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org provide upwards or 60% of all blogging and website software for everyone from Aunt Betty's cooking through to major corporations, gaming and news site including the major News sites that their reporters use. Plus I don't see you sitting up for 48 hours getting articles ready and sourcing news items 24/7 . . . If you were, you'd have your own website, and you'd most likely use either Wordpress, Typepad or Blogger, all of which run the majority of owner-run sites on the net.

Stop being bigoted and just be thankful some people are willing to go the extra mile sop YOU can read something about gaming. Either that, or start your own site and show us how it's done.

3.6 - You are going all out
on me? Why,because I mentioned Wordpress? No need to be so angry.Anyway,you'l soon know why I said this, It has to do with N4G policy.
Shut this user up Let user speak
XboxOZ360 - 486 days 16 hours ago
3.7 -
Harry, the policy is for basic, personal blog diaries that do not supply any news, not sites run with blogging software, if that was the case, y99u'd not be reading any articles from Joystiq-radio, Joystiq, Destrcutoid, xboxfanboy, ps3fanboy,wiifanboy, even NextGen,EDGE NextGenration.biz, xbox360world reporters, Official-Xbox-Mag and Official-Playstation-Mag reporters etc are ALL BLOGS mate.

Wake up - blogs are NOT the devils work, and they fit in with the publishing policies of N4G..

Thanks for the pm btw harry, and I thought I'd put the reply in here as well in the hope that it "might" clear up some misconceptions about blogs and N4g.

And btw, I've been submitting via our blog and xbox.com since N4g started with such things a Xbox360 Games listings and the like which was pinned in the n4g xbox forums for almost a year. ALL through the use of blogging software: Anyway, I hope the following helps SOME understand the difference of blogs and how so many supply you with your news every day.

Wordpress is simply SOFTWARE. Do you actually know how a website works . . ?

ALL blog based sites and many non blog based websites run on software, This software is supplied by many means, some from TypePad, Blogger, and in this case Wordpress.

All the sites you see dishing out news across the glob are run with these types of software, the company, such as Wordpress or Typepad have nothing to do with the site per-say.

They force NO ADVERTIZING on any user unlike many other where you have to have banners and placement ads in order to use their software for free. Wordpress supply the software for almost half of Xbox.coms off site news support sites, they supply the software for a huge proportion on major company site, and have in excess of 100million users PER DAY.

Woerdpress is simply a TOOL not a website. This IS OUR website, and we own it outright, we simply use wordpress.com software to run it, like 100 million other users across the glob.

Do a little bit or research and you'll find the type and number of people using just wordpress ( http://wordpress.org and http://wordpress.com

The difference being is that the .org supply you the software for free to use on YOUR private servers, and .com supplies ITS OWN servers free of charge while you use their software. They make thei money through traffic not by ads.

In order for us to have wordpress dropped from our url, we need to $$$ decent money for high traffic servers and host facilities. Something we simply do not have lining our pockets at the moment. We have JUST secured a sponsor who will be helping us in that area,and we will then be able to drop the wordpress off our url, but nothing else will change, and YOU will still be reading and viewing a wordpress software run site, but you wont know it. Perhaps making you feel a bit silly when complaining about it.

You do realize that over 75% of game related sites run using free blogging software of some sort, and are ALL blogs of one version or another. There is nothing wrong with BLOGS per-say. They used to be just personal online diaries, that role has changed and is changing faster than I can type. Companies, schools, businesses large and small, new reporters that work for the NYT, Mercury Times, Reuters, to name but just a few all use blogs to deliver their daily news for their profession through their employees.

That makes them no different to any other worthy news site out there, including us. You do realize I hope that Joystiq-Radio is ALSO a blog . . !!! and I don;t see you writing harsh stuff about them in their comments, or in anything that comes from Xbox360fanboy or its sister site ps3fanboy, or many other sites on N4G.

We (our site) have this problem all the time, but ONLY from within N4g, as it seems 80% of users on n4g seem to think that a BLOG is the devils work and should be run out of town on a horse . . wake up, read, do some research and you'll find many site YOU love and read each and every day and swear by are in fact - dare I say - BLOGS.

Or how about he doesn't like any of the game's stated? It's hardly a far-fetched opinion to believe...unless your a fanboy yourself that isn't capable understanding such a notion.

The only thing that i anticipate on Microsoft's e3 is Bioshock 2 and Mass effect 2 showings and maybe a little Halo Wars to see how that works out too.

I think he means nothing on that list justifies him owning a 360 as in he has a 360, but doesn't see it as a fit purchase as the games he sees do not interest them, as for the fanboy debate, who cares, theres probably bound to be one exclusive on a console you want, just because you don't own a 360 or Wii doesn't make you a sony fanboy as long as the person who's playing the games gets every game he wants to play there should be no problem.

6 - I personally hope....
DR2 is 360 exclusive, I mean every console needs good exclusives and DR2 would be an ace exclusive, kinda like the PS3 and Heavenly Sword, also I dunno why but I almost expect a Ninja Gaiden Sigma port to the 360, Team Ninja is gone and Tecmo needs some funding cash, ports all around.

Also, why does N4G keep approving these lists? I mean if I post a list in website fashion would you guys approve it for posting? Maybe?

he says he suspects that it may be ported over because of the lose of Team ninja and they need the funding.. NG series are fun and it would be smart for them to port it if they do need the money.. with the install base of the 360 along with the other NG games another one would be sweet for the NG fans

Since EA bought them ME2 and their other games will not be 360 exclusive.

...meaning there were no contracts, agreements and/or deals between Bioware and MS in existance before the EA aquistion of Bioware. I would have to lean toward the multiplatform side as well. EA is all about distributing its games to the largest market. Lets just hope they leave the programing and creative to Bioware!

Dead rising 2 and Mass Effect are more than likely coming to the PS3 as well.

Capcom see Profit in multi-platform.
EA is king of Multiplatform releases, hell I wouldn't be surprised if Mass Effect series eventually went to the PS2/wii/handhelds.

So Consider his comment with those 2 games out of the picture as being exclusive.

I read this article and nearly fell off my rocker!

1. MS owns the Halo franchise and IP.
2. Forza is an internally developed first party studio, might as well say that Gran Turismo 6 is going to be multi-platform, yeah right!
3. Ubisoft already stated that if they could get the same level of AI on ps3 that they would make it for ps3 and that is the reason why they don't, plus it started out on Xbox, straight from the developers mouth.
4. Hironobu has no plans to work with sony, they don't have a good relationship.

ANY internal first party developer WILL NOT publish for another COMPETING platform.

OMG, when they listen "BioWare's Lineup" I was praying for them to say KoToR3.. then I said to myself "OMG, if they announced KoToR3 for 360, then MS takes e3 this year!"

Seriously, if BioWare announced KoToR3 for 360, that would be THE orgasm moment of e3 for me, no matter what MS or Sony show off.
