Xbox E3 News (Halo: Reach?)
Just so we are clear, this isn't the press conference thread or the thread for big games, but over the course of e3 a lot of games get announced, and let's be fair here not all of them deserve their own thread, but some of them are cool and putting the word out there doesn't hurt.
With that in mind this is the thread for news regarding the Xbox 360 and stuff.  New pirates of the Caribbean game. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/986/986415p1.html I posted a thread on the new GTA IV DLC, The Ballad of Gay Tony  New Dragon Ball Z game, though you would think dead by now. |

The Pirates game looks super interesting and is an awesome concept.

Re: Xbox E3 News (L4D 2? Sega Racing, Rapstar)
Whatabout new infected for L4D2? The infected are the most fun to play! The survivors are borderline dull.

Really? That's the big rumour? Basically an expansion for L4D, and the biggest rumour is something better than a Tank, with most likely shittier scenarios? |
Re: Xbox E3 News (L4D 2? Sega Racing, Rapstar)
Yeah, that totally sounds like L4D 1.5.

Re: Xbox E3 News (Halo: Reach?)
I blame Nintendo for this cling on to franchise stuff. Why not just make a new, exciting game. I mean Halo 2's single player was bust, and no one I talk to even mentions Halo 3's single player. I wouldn't surprise is Microsoft called up Bungie:
"Hey, Bungie...the only thing that makes people pay for Xbox Live is Halo...you better crank out another game so we can charge people for another year subscription." |

Holding onto franchises isn't something new. Disney had Mickey Mouse. Warner had Bugs Bunny. There are 23 James Bond movies. 20 some odd Godzilla movies. It isn't even something that stays in the realm of video games. |
Re: Xbox E3 News (Halo: Reach?)
Nintendo has been milking certain average/below-average franchises like Mario Party for money for a looooooooong time. Now some of their main franchise games get a whole new face and totally rock (like Super Mario 64 > Mario Sunshine > Mario Galaxy). Others fall between, like Metroid Prime > MP2 > MP3 (although you argue the controls in MP3 are big enough of an evolution).
I think even you would agree with me, being that we are both huge 007 fans, that the series had its low points (like the end of the Connery and Moore era). Same goes with Godzilla, the movies don't exactly vary much, and it sort of built this cult following because of that. But I don't know if I would compare movies to gaming. This discussion isn't about Nintendo though...I didn't mean to derail your lovely thread. My comment was mostly out of jest. Every company seems to be abusing their franchise games with endless sequels these days. Part of me appreciates everybody's desire to experience a new adventure with Mario or Master Chief, another part of me thinks..."jeee...last 2 Halo single player games were crap. Why not let awesome game developer Bungie try making something new." Edit: When companies try new things...we get games like Half-Life, or Pikmin. Games that are maybe a little outside the box for their time, and totally awesome experiences. The risk is high to develop and try something new, but seems like the payoff is good too. |

Well, "Halo: Reach" is probably the game that Frankie and his team have been working on since he joined Microsoft.

Re: Xbox E3 News (Halo: Reach?)
I was never arguing with you the merits of quality from said franchises, I was just speaking in general that people milk franchises.
On that note, while invention leads to stuff like Pikmin and Half-Life. Evolution leads to things like Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and Half-Life 2. Or using the movie reference, we get stuff like Casino Royale, The Dark Knight, X-men 2 and so forth. I think there is a place for both, but I do feel that Halo is starting to enter into that territory. As much as Nintendo milks their franchises, they are pretty smart on keeping it away from their main title, we have had 8 real platforming Mario games in what 24 years, only about 7 Zeldas in a similar time frame. Sure we get MArio Kart, or Tetra Trackers, but seem like ideas that they wanted to slap a face on. ~Edit~ Haha came in the thread to post these http://kotaku.com/5273220/sieve+like...ins-creed-vids Quote:
