What to look forward to in '09?

[ProjectPat2280]

The title pretty much explains it.

What does Microsoft have planned for the 2009 year? Will we see Alan Wake? Will Mass Effect remain exclusive?

 

[Drizzle]

I'm looking forward to F.E.A.R. 2.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I'm looking forward to F.E.A.R. 2.

Ah yea, that should be a good one, but i was more interested in Xbox exclusive titles. Whats good for the Xbox in 09?

 

[StrainedEyes]

I want a Dead Rising 2 announcement.

I'm also very excited for the 3 Fallout DLCs, and the GTA DLC.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I have just two words for MS in '09...

Alan Wake.

 

[BlackLantern]

I don't think we will see 'Mass Effect' until 2010....

 

[Raiden]

I'm looking forward to Street Fighters IV and Arkham Asylum this year.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I don't think we will see 'Mass Effect' until 2010....

Ditto, with Bioware busy at making Dragon Age Origins this year I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get to see Mass Effect 2 until '10 or maybe even '11.

Exclusives-wise the only 360-exclusives that even come to mind that's worth mentioning is Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST and Star Ocean 4. I guess Alan Wake, but I think it's a wild card. I mean hell, I didn't even know the project was still alive until recently.

There's not a whole lot of exclusives really for the 360 in '09. It's possible that MS may throw something out here soon for '09, but as of now not too much. Most of the big named games are multiplatformed

 

[BlackLantern]

The economy will also affect things....we probably won't see as many 'large scale' productions year to year as we usually do

You know something? I don't really know. The only games I'm interested in this year aren't console exclusives, like "F.E.A.R. 2", "Bioshock 2", "Batman: Arkham Asylum", "Aliens: Colonial Marines", etc. "Halo Wars" doesn't interest me, because I don't like strategy games like "Command and Conquer". I might give "Halo 3: Recon" a try, though.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I think they have plenty of stuff up their sleeve that we don't know about yet.

 

[Raiden]

I think RE5 is another title to look forward to, but it's another multiplatform game. Don't think there's another worthwhile 360 exclusives this year except for maybe Halo 3: Recon (which is an expansion for Halo 3).

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Prototype, Just Cause 2, Arkham Asylum, and apparently even Assassin's Creed 2.

 

[Mike_D202]

Champions-Online, Aliens: Coloniel Marines, and the Ghostbusters game.

 

[BlackLantern]

I read that Aliens was shelved....

 

[Tron Bonne]

I read that Aliens was shelved....

Officially it's on hold. There's hope...there's hope

 

[Mike_D202]

nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Not according to this:

States the game is supposed to make it out Q1 2009.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

Resident Evil 5 and Final Fantasy XIII. Finally, two of my favorite franchises reach the 360!

My friend, you have made my day. Now let us hope the game is actually worth a crap

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Looking forward to Bionic Commando, but that's multiplatform.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

Besides Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST, i have no clue of what exclusives are in store.
And by the lack of announcements, neither does Microsoft...the only thing i´ve read in Major Nelson´s blog is that the first meeting about E3 09 already happend, and he said that they have big annoucements to make, not only for this year, but for 2010.

 

[.Rorschach.]

Watchmen,and the Batman game.

 

[BlackLantern]

Boo on 'Watchmen', it's bad enough getting turned into a half ass film, now it's being disrespected even more by being turned into a video game....ugh....

Batman: AA looks interesting though
