Would be funny if devs had to go gold a day or so after the hardware is finalized if they want to make it to launch and we'd see many buggy lunch games because of some last-minute changes?

I have a feeling we're going to see many buggy launch games in any case...this system feels like it's in the same place as the DS...I don't think too many early DS games were buggy, but a lot of them were very simplistic and rushed. To pop out console games with super-ultra-HD-revolution-4eva graphics in such a short time span seems more likely to produce lots of bugs. Even in the case of Perfect Dark or Kameo, the games have been in development for a while, but actual Xbox 360 development probably didn't start until halfway through 2004 - definitely not for Kameo, since it was still slated for Xbox as of last E3.

Umm, that's way off-topic. I've always been interested in this series, but I'm a one-console person, and you have to own two just to play the two games in the series so far, so I'm definitely hoping Shenmue 3 comes to Revolution. I think it would be nice of Sega to release it on 360 for those who followed the series on the first Xbox, though.

Funny how we're talking about buggy launch games for the X360 when the Rev is a big unknown and depending on what rumours you want to believe might not even have been shown to third parties yet. We're probably going to get buggy games at launch on all three systems.

at least peter moleneux said something good about t he controller....and i liked fable. Everyone said it was vastly overhyped..and as a fact it didnt have akoit of i ts features..i still thought it kicked ass when i played it. It was just so damn fun to be a villian.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #29 on:** August 30, 2005, 10:30:45 PM »

Fable was fun for about 8 hours, I think it was ahead of its time for the concept. A more powerful platform and longer development time would help. I may have to try the PC version....

KDR_11k · « **Reply #30 on:** August 31, 2005, 01:19:42 AM »

Ian: The difference is that the Rev is pretty far away from launch. The X360 doesn't seem finished and it's supposed to go into production maybe a month from now with launch games having to go gold in two and a half months (i.e. crunch time has begun). If there were any last minute changes or the hardware was less powerful than the "3 times more than the devkit" MS promised the devs will now scramble to get a good version for launch. That means gold shortly after "finished" so no time for extensive testing. And we're talking about code a few orders of magnitude more complex than DS games. And while the Rev might not offer enough time for third parties to make launch games (EA probably has their framework adapted already and will release sports games and other multiplatform stuff on launch day, as will many major publishers) at least Nintendo themselves will probably have a decent game at launch. MS is relying mostly on Rare and we know how likely Rare is to make ANY deadline. Also, the Rev has complete backwards compatibility with FOUR consoles while the X360 seems to struggle with implementing support for even ONE console. Many early adopters of the GBA, DS or PS2 relied on the BC to carry them over the first year or so, the X360 won't have that benefit.

Sure, it may and probably will turn out completely unlike any of our predictions. It's still too far off to make any accurate predictions, especially for outsiders like us. My money is on "X360 launch is a desaster" but the Rev is still a complete unknown for me (everything from complete failure to good success seems possible).

I think it was ahead of its time for the concept

As were most of Peter's games. The guy can think of good concepts but implementing them seems to be almost impossible. He also changes his mind about what he wants every five minutes.

Big Bump, Looks Like Shenmue 3 might be making an appearance at TGS

God, please let this be true.

If it's not on Wii, let it crash & burn for it will be an expensive HD disaster.

Yay another Shenmue for Xbox.

I stopped caring about Segas masterpiece of a game when they slapped US DC owners in the face by releasing Shenmue 2 in europe and not the US.

Good move Sega! I hope Shenmue 3 bombs on Xbox 360 just like Shenmue 2 bombed before.

That list is so much crap. Samba De Amigo on PSP? Sonic RPG only on PS3/360? A Space Channel 5 spin-off for the Wii that's also coming to the DS and PSP while PS3/360 get the real sequal? And it seems that only games that have been officially annouced for Wii and DS are slated to actually come out on Wii and DS, minus the mostly kids fare. Almost everything that hasn't already been announced is slated for PS3, 360 and PSP. I thought Sega said that they were shifting resources to Nintendo platforms. This list says otherwise.

This is so much fanboy hope it's not even funny. They basically thew together a list of what they wanted to happen. Besides, I just cannot see Sega working on all those games at one time and having any of them turn out to be anything in the way of good when they haven't released anything of worth in years.

Mashiro · « **Reply #35 on:** August 04, 2007, 06:56:16 AM »

Wow I didn't even notice Samba De Amigo Fever (PSP) Denjet.

Good move Sega! This is why you do horrible.

Adrock · « **Reply #36 on:** August 04, 2007, 07:14:28 AM »

That list is so f*cking phony it's ridiculous. Skies of Arcadia 2? Yeah, ok... If they were going to drop a sequel to that game, they wouldn't sneak it silently into an expo lineup list. It'd either be a surprise or they'd officially announce it through a press release like they did with Nights.

And someone explain to me why Sega would promote Virtua Fighter 5 on PS3 when, by the time of TGS, it will have been out for at least 6 months in every territory.

ThePerm · « **Reply #37 on:** August 04, 2007, 08:42:04 AM »

the console agnostic shit isn't paying off, then again...the way things are going...i pretty much am going to need to get an xbox 360

i mean with
RE5
Dead Rising
Shenmue 3
Fable 2
the possibility that mgs4's exclusivity is dead

i think it would be well worth getting. Of course iv already got a Wii, I hope though that Nintendo will release some games that i'm actually going to like. I need to find out what comes after Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Galaxy, and metroid...but im pretty sure i can guess its gonna be Zelda...

I am also going to buy an XBOX360. A PIMPED one! There is only one coolingfan in the offical model, which is why it gets so damn hot. However, I know a shop that puts cool little lights inside the units and 3(!) coolingfans!
PIMP my XBOX360!!! No more overheating, longer life.

It´s way cool if we get Shenmue 3 on it.

I will also get:

Halo 3 (Chants: Halo 3...Halo 3...Halo 3...Halo 3...Halo 3...)
SEGA Rally Revo (finally we get a true sequel to SEGA Rally 2)
Resident Evil 5 (...although I would prefer it out on Wii instead)
Banjo-Kazooie 3 (me thinks the bird and the bear game will be the best ever)

Yup. Enough games there to keep me happy for over half a year. Pure gamingbliss.

Kairon · « **Reply #39 on:** August 05, 2007, 08:45:56 AM »

Actually, I've heard that MS is starting to include two cooling fans in shipped Elites now.

Stogi · « **Reply #40 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:02:24 PM »

Could someone explain to me why these games are seen as good?

I'm not trying to troll; I'm just interested and would like some information.

Kairon · « **Reply #41 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:09:13 PM »

Hardcore gamers say so.

Stogi · « **Reply #42 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:31:00 PM »

That's not good enough anymore.

Kairon · « **Reply #43 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:40:48 PM »

It's good enough for the Wii's detractors, so it's good enough for Negative Nintendo Nancys.

Stogi · « **Reply #44 on:** August 05, 2007, 01:59:44 PM »

What?

Mashiro · « **Reply #45 on:** August 05, 2007, 02:14:46 PM »

Which games are in question?

Stogi · « **Reply #46 on:** August 05, 2007, 02:47:08 PM »

The shenmue series.

Mashiro · « **Reply #47 on:** August 05, 2007, 03:43:32 PM »

Oh. Shenmue 1 was good, not amazing in the gameplay area but it was good. It was very cool in the way it took on the world around it. The graphics were awesome for a home console at the time and the voice acting and somewhat real story possibility made it interesting to me.

Never played 2.

Stogi · « **Reply #48 on:** August 05, 2007, 03:48:08 PM »

How do you fight exactly? What is the game-engine like?

Mashiro · « **Reply #49 on:** August 05, 2007, 04:05:51 PM »

Uh I would say it's virtual fighter-esk.
