Microsoft to host TGS 2008 keynote

mohib-uddin7986532 - 477 days 10 hours ago

This will make Japan hate Xbox. I dont think the Japanese would want to go to an event in "their" own country and find its all in English !!

Americans wouldnt like to go E3 and find its lead in Japanese. They would just get annoyed !!!

not a demonstration. There will probably be no announcement on stage since it is not about Microsoft's product but rather an overall analysis about the industry and Microsoft's philosophy and place in it.

Announcements will be made during the event.

Honestly, after E3, having MS host TGS makes me wonder what other tricks they plan to pull out of their hat! Keep in mind that they really want to succeed in japan. So it is possible that people should brace themselves for something unexpected!

I know it sounds crazy, but usually a japanese figure head does the keynote for MS. But you have and american(or whatever he is) going over to japan to host a keynote speech... Maybe it's me... but that seems a little strange!

Common Sense - 477 days 7 hours ago

My comment was completely ambiguous (it could be an insult or a compliment depending on interpretation), so you are free to interpret as you wish.

You assumed I meant Too human and Infinite Undiscovery flopped because you thought they did flop. That's why you're being so defensive.

If you thought that they were good games, you would have taken a more positive reply to my comment because I said " They'll be as good as Infinite Undiscovery and Too human".

If you thought that Infinite Undiscovery and Too human were good games, you would take my previous comment as a compliment but if you thought that they sucked, you would take it as an insult.

The latter approach was the one you took, judging from your comment.

The only reason the PS3 has less RPGs is because it launched a year later. Good RPGs take time. For a more accurate comparison, use the data from the corresponding year for the 360; in other words, two years after the 360, it had Eternal Sonata, Project Slypheed, Oblivion, FF XI, Blue Dragon and Mass Effect. Two years after the PS3 launched it has (rather will have)Eternal Sonata, Folklore, Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles, Oblivion, and will get White Knight Chronicles.

It's called connotation. If you say something like "As good as Too Human or Infinite Undiscovery" instead of "As good as Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia" then it sounds negative. It is open to interpretation, but it's a victim of negative connotation. That's my take on this.

"You assumed I meant Too human and Infinite Undiscovery flopped because you thought they did flop."

Nope. I assumed that because if you look up any Too Human or ID review and look at the open zone(sometimes gamer zone as well) comments you'll see that 80% of the comments include the word 'flop'. Some people even went as far as creating accounts with the names "Flop Human" and "Too Hyped". Even on articles where the games scored well. If you come to N4G on a regular basis you know that people have been bashing the 360's RPG's like crazy, so my assumption is not empty.

I get the feeling you laid out that comment as bait so you could act like a smartass afterwards =)

I might be wrong of course, and in that case I take back what I said in my first comment.

So the announcement is not that big...the xbox 360 fanboys just made it big. But it is great that the Xbox 360 is finally getting a awesome RPG that FF13 is...too bad they are not getting White Knight Chronicles and FF13 Versus...and too bad by the time FF13 comes out on the Xbox 360...the PS3 will have put it in third place.

Do people really thing sony is in this to lose? They have already made great ground...and it has not even been two years yet..Sure the Xbox 360 just got another price cut...but it should have gotten this price cut 6 months ago...the PS3 will get a huge price cut of $100 next...and all the Xbox 360 price cuts will mean nothing since there is more perceived value in the PS3 hardware (wifi, bluray, bluetooth, PSP connectivity, HOME, Free online)

I finally figured out why you're such a fanboy. It's 'cause you're jealous of the PS3 or rather envious of the PS3. You are GREEN with envy.

I wonder what MS will announce. If SE's president goes up on stage at the end and says " One more thing". I'll send Juuken to b!tch slap him.

below

By my logic, 360 owners are more envious than PS3 owners.
Proof: How many articles are there about MGS4 coming to the 360?
How man articles are there about Gears of War or Mass Effect coming to the PS3?
How come 360 fans bashed FFXIII before it was an exclusive?
Why did 360 fans made a bigger deal about FFXIII coming to 360 than PS3 fans made when Bioshock (Best 360 game of 2007), Lost Planet and Eternal Sonata were announced for the PS3 COMBINED?

You failed when you said "360 thread". Its in the industry category and its more about TGS then anything else. Even if you could point out that its about Microsoft, its not about the 360 so STFU.

Agree(3) | Disagree(11) | Report

lowcarb - 477 days 7 hours ago

NO you stfu and use your minature brain for a sec! It's pretty obvious this is 360 news since they will be talking about at TGS about 360 regardless of it says industry news or not. If the title were Sony's talking at TGS and 360 fans were hating then you would have a different tone and you know it. This is good news for 360 owners because we will more then likely get some huge announcements so deal with it.

Above common sense: "How many articles are there about MGS4 coming to the 360?"

Yeah just like how many articles about bioshock coming to ps3 and getting xmb and trophy support like the 360. Every feature on PS3 was on 360 1st minus the bluray 1st so who's envious of who again?

"How man articles are there about Gears of War or Mass Effect coming to the PS3?

Gears no because epic said it wasn't possible but mass effect use to have plenty".

"How come 360 fans bashed FFXIII before it was an exclusive? We never bashed it and most of us at one time owned a ps2 or nintendo to play it on."

What you think everything started on PS3 and just because we own 360 we don't like these titles we grew up with? Believe it or not the world doesn't revolve around Sony.

"Why did 360 fans made a bigger deal about FFXIII coming to 360 than PS3 fans made when Bioshock (Best 360 game of 2007), Lost Planet and Eternal Sonata were announced for the PS3 COMBINED?"

We didn't and if you check the history on that day it was Sony fans that had a poor little heart attack because of the betrayal like they did with capcom and many others lol. Also those games you guys took were already old and final fantasy is a halo gears level game. Your arguement here is weak pal and makes you look like nothing more then a delusional troll. You've got the whole picture backwards and the reason you post in so many 360 threads or related threads is the fact that your jealous and only wish to have what 360 has on it as always. Even this holiday looks like a joke for PS3 but you guys are trying to hype it anyway out of desperation.

Agree(5) | Disagree(5) | Report

Common Sense - 477 days 7 hours ago

I don't hate the 360. I actually like it. I used to be a Xbox 360 fan and I used to bash the Ps3-mainly because I couldn't afford it. I almost bought a 360 but then Sony released the 40GB PS3. I don't bash the 360(much). It was a really tough decision choosing the Ps3 over the 360 and it's the best decision I have ever made. It's the most complete of all next-gen systems and it offers you the most value, if you are willing to pay the initial price.

You said PS3 fans were envious of things like in-game XMB and trophies. I didn't because I could care less. Almost every exclusive feature can be implemented on the PS3 through firmwares but not true for the 360 (like 1080p native games, Blu-Ray and Reliability---with almost silent fans).

Whether you agree or not, it's common sense that 360 owners have more to envy than PS3 owners (free online being one of them).

Again I don't hate the 360-it's an excellent console but the Ps3 is the better choice FOR ME. I bought because I intend to use for its entire 10 year lifespan and I know that the PS3 is the most future-proof console.

There are a whole lot more rumors of PS3 games going over than the 360 games crossing over because Xbox 360 covet PS3 games.

MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive.

Shut it.

And Kingdom Hearts 3 will most likely be a PS3 exclusive or a Wii exclusive. Disney supports bluray and the characters used in Kingdom Hearts belongs to Disney.

IDIOT.

Hey, how come you didn't have the balls to comment over here?

@ Juuken (as I can only edit this post)

"Hey, dumbass Kojima already said that MGS4 will NOT be on the 360"

"Too bad for Kojima he doesn't own the MGS IP. Konami does. Konami is 3rd party like Square Enix is. They have shareholders, they need big profits, the $$$$ is on the 360 platform. I've heard before that FFXIII couldn't be done on the 360. mmmhhhhh makes you wonder huh?"

You truly are stupid, aren't you? Konami isn't going to bring MGS4 over to the 360 without Kojima's consent. He's the director of the game dumbass bot. He made his choice to use the PS3 to it's full advantages for MGS4. He wasn't even satisfied with that (given that he's a perfectionist) but either way he has created one of the best games ever made and he should be proud of that. If Konami ports that over to the 360, it will be a long and difficult process trying to compress everything.

I don't understand you bots. Why do you want MGS4 so bad when you basically said it was just a bluray movie and not a game? Oh, that's right...you have no exclusives to call your own!

The rumor of MGS4 going to the 360 has been shot down many times.

IT WON'T HAPPEN.

GET OVER IT.

As for FFXIII, there's a possibility that Square will have trouble porting it from the PS3.

Only time will tell whether you bots get a good port or a gimped piece of sh*t.

"Hahaha dumbest comment ever... So because Disney supports BluRay they'll only bring the game to the PS3 right? Hahaha I bet your ass has more IQ then your head. Is that why its so big?"

You are a f*cking imbecilic fool. I said that it's *likely* (and pay attention PoG because I know you're f*cking slow as bloody hell) it will either be on the PS3 and the Wii. Disney is part of the corporation for bluray and they have good relations with Sony!
Duuuuuuurz!

WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WANT TO SUPPORT LITTLE BIG PLANET RETARD?!

God, you are sooooooo stupid.

I shake my head at you sadly.

You have the I.Q of a roach.

This is from someone who has the utmost hatred for a Playstation 3? The only thing I cannot stand about the 360 is the reliability and paying for something that should be free to begin with. Other than that, I would have gotten one by now. I feel that Microsoft could have done a better job with the 360...like make sure it doesn't break on people within months?

theMart, do you even understand how business run? Have you ever heard of the saying "Don't bite the hand that feeds you?" Let me explain, Konami may own MGS franchise but Kojima still has a huge say in it since he made MGS what it is today. MGS is a big part of Konami. Konami is smart to respect Kojima's wishes since Kojima can easily say No and refuse to make the game. Look what happen to Temco when they refuse to pay bonus for Itagaki. He left.

As for Disney, well I think it would be in their best interest to side with Sony after working together with them for so long. Heck, I wouldn't be surprise if many of the technology that Disney use is supplied by Sony.
