Gun Loco takes aim at Xbox 360

Square Enix Ltd. announced today GUN LOCO, an exciting, all-new approach to the third-person shooter genre.

This is good. All this means is that Third Party Exclusives isn't dead and SE is willing to make Exclusives. Sorta reaffirms that Final Fantasy XIII Versus can remain a PS3 Exclusive if SE wants to.

[lelo2play]

I guess it's another game for Gamescom.

www.gunloco.com site says "Website coming 18 August"

[big_silky]

Sounds kinda like The Club

[ingiomar]

Thats one more exclusive for us

[Karooo]

more shooters for us we are hardcore baby !

[MicroSony4Life]

What makes you think that this will be your genric soldier/alien shooter where we have to save the world?

For all we know this game could be shooter RPG with bannas as bullets for the gun. Dont put something down becasue it does not look like your cup of tea.

[IneedWeed]

@ MicroSony4Life he said more "shooters" for us which this game is a third person "shooter". Don't think he's trying to put the game down.

I'm glad 360 is getting an exclusive since they have not enough good exclusives for 360. I play most of 360 console exclusive on my PC, my 360 is only used for Halo 3 and some CoD MW, my PS3 is mostly used.

Can't wait for Halo, and GT5... most anticipated games so far. After those games I'll be waiting for KZ 3, Crysis 2, Rage, GTA V, FF XIII Versus, Last Gaurdian, LoZ Skyward Sword, UC III, and Gears of War III.

[darkstar]

Im actually excited for this. I think I am one of the few people who really enjoyed the club.

[Sez]

Your not the only one. I enjoyed the club too. But I'm not getting my hopes up until I hear more about this game.

[big_silky]

I liked it too. It was one of those games that you either "got" or you didn't. Unfortunately most reviewers didn't "get" it.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

I'm pretty sure I "got" it alright. It was just a horribly put together game. I thought it was terrible.

[McValdemar]

Wasn't Square love for 360 gone?
LOL

[NYC_Gamer]

sqaure has no love for any console its all about making $$$ like any other business

[strickers]

If that were true they would release their games on both systems.Unless MS giving them large amounts of cash.All their 360 exclusives would have sold better in JP on PS3.

[Newtype]

It's probably from one of the developers, not straight from Square. Like Eidos.

[3nd3rth3]

Not to sound pedantic, but I wouldn't be bragging about exclusivity on this one. Seems more like a quick revenue-driven game to me.

[3nd3rth3]

I'm even more certain of what I just said. Looks rather silly for a SE game.

[Karooo]

will give this shooter exclusive for 360 in return of versus for ps3

they make money from both the install bases

[dark-hollow]

gun loco gonna make money? -_-

[Sez]

Only game I'm looking foward to from SE is The FF14 MMO. Ever since FF13 I've been disappointed with SE. Good to see they are doing something that's not a RPG. Hope it turns out good

[IneedWeed]

I'm looking forward to see how FF XIII Versus will be, but FF XIV still seems like an RPG, an MMORPG. I also hope these turn out much better than FF XIII. I blame Xbox 360 for making FF XIII delayed and unpolished XD... haha I'm just joking around.

[PooEgg]

That's right SE, instead of sticking with what you do best and working on 'small but meaningful' ways to actually improve on it, keep on trying to jump on the Western games bandwagon, because that is working real well for you. Just what the 360 needs another shooter game. I'll pass, thank you very much.

SE is starting to remind me of an ageing ex-beauty queen, they pile on all the pretty makeup and put on the clothes of a young fashion model, but they just end up looking like an old tired bimbo. Instead they should dress to bring out their true beauty and use the wisdom they have gained with age to their advantage.

[xX-PEIN-Xx]

hell I'd gladly let the 360 have this game for Versus being exclusive. Its perfect for both consoles, 360 owners mostly play shooters and PS3 owners mostly like variety in Genres so Versus will be appreciated.

[M4ndat0ry_1nstall]

And that's why MW2 (FPS) is the best selling PS3 game, because PS3 owners "mostly like variety in Genres"?

[xX-PEIN-Xx]

yeah..."mostly." MW2 would be an exception. Way to interpret my comment genius.

Best selling 360 games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... - Top eight games all shooters.

Best selling PS3 games: http://thirdworldgeek.com/u... - only 4 games in top eight are shooters

So yeah, I'd say PS3 owners "mostly" like variety

[Jack Klugman]

pein = owned..

oh and yes, Versus will be coming to the 360. TGS should be a shocker!

[xX-PEIN-Xx]

yeah imagine that...I wonder how much content would have to be cut to make it fit on the 360

FF Versus 13 details: http://scrawlfx.com/2010/08...

Cut content from FF 13: http://www.andriasang.com/e...

[PS3 Supremacy]

Just like E3, right Jack? Man I lost count of all those shoulder taps at Microshaft's conference...oh wait.

[BubbleSystemSuck]

stupid name

[Alos88]

Square: Those western gamers are gun loco, we need a way to capitalize on that- wait a second, gun loco? Of course!

[lightningsax]

Square Enix is a conglomerate including many different little development groups. It's not like Team FFXIII moved to Gun Loco, it's one of the Europe (Ltd)groups, most likely an Eidos-originated group. Don't break out the air raid sirens, PS3 gamers, it's okay.

The game does look pretty cool - kinda Borderlands-ish, and you can't go wrong building on that game's strong points. I do wonder what they mean by "sprint-action" though. You can sprint in a lot of games, but that seems to indicate it's a focus here.

Still, it's not enough to make me not want to stand up and shout "Get on task, Squenix! You have Einhander 2 to make!"

[ChronoJoe]

Sounds interesting. SE haven't really proven they can do a good job outside of the JRPG genre though. Aside Einhander, that was decent.

[3nd3rth3]

I mean, they bought Eidos and this would be the same deal of an European sub-company making the game.

[ChronoJoe]

Edios didn't make arkham asylum.

Rocksteady did. They aren't even under edios. They are a subsidiary of warner brothers entertainment, warner brothers aren't in the VG publishing business, so they needed a publisher for there game.

So what's your point, again?

[gcolley]

lost me at 'third-person'
