Xbox 360 (XboxNext) Games

Leto · #1 04-20-2005, 02:02 AM

While doing my daily Gamespot scoping I came across this page...

Click Here. (X360)
Click Here. (Ps3)

It appears to be only acessable through editing the url to 'x360/index.html', or searching for a game that is for Xbox360. I came across this when looking for the X360 version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

The more interesting thing is, it says Halo 3 and Fable 2 are on the way for the next Xbox. Though, the only news item about them seems to be inacessable...

This trick also works for PS3, the editing URL thing. Huzzah!

Interesting. Did you think you could hide stuff from us, Gamespot?! Mwahaha!

Hmmmm... And interesting look at the next titles. That Fable 2 is supposed to be the first Fable but with the stuff they had to take out, put back in.

When are the release dates? How much will the XboxNext cost exactly? That is, if anyone knows yet.

Godlesswanderer · #4 04-20-2005, 12:52 PM

I'm guessing we won't know until we know the release date for the Xbox360.

Wow. So far, looks like a whole lot of crap on both sides.

With the exception of the next Elder Scrolls game of course. MGS4 might turn out OK, but the series is getting kinda 'played out' in my opinion.

sligster · #7 04-20-2005, 03:31 PM

ah, is that Splinter Cell 4 I see?

Cool, I heard some rumors about the X-box360 and PS3, Never thought they might actually go through with i.

I'm really looking forward to Oblivion, too. It looks pretty sweet. Besides that, I think a lot of it is speculation. Halo 3 hasn't been officially announced, nor had Fable 2. However, I'd REALLY like to see them both. And I'm sure Halo 3 at least will make it.

Next-gen console graphics = drool.

Godless wanderer, the Fable you're talking about (the one where they add all the missed stuff) is called Fable: The Lost Chapters, and it's coming out for PC in Fall. You can go to gamerankings.com to find out more about it.

And soulstice, I think the Xbox Next is supposed to cost anywhere from 300-400 bucks, but we'll have to wait till E3 to find out for sure.

actually, Microsoft already stated that it was a mistake putting the origional Xbox out for 300, and that the next one will be cheaper.

Are you sure about that? I doubt it. First of all, as hardware grows, systems (and games) will become increasingly more expensive. Also, they lose mucho profit if it's much cheaper than $300. If you can provide me a link though, I'll believe you. It just seems a tad unreasonable.

Indeed, the line-ups for both consoles look mostly Krappenfest, But TES4 is definatley a highlight. The rest are sort of, meh. MGS4 better not be in the frickin' jungle this time... I sure as hell aint buying a PS3 in any hurry.

Really? The first console they put out was first labeled 'too little', was it not?

I thought Microsoft lost some money at first.

Supposedy, X360 is supposed to be premiered at E3.

No, they've said it was too expensive because last time people hesitated about paying the original price so they had to drop prices pretty quickly and that pissed off everyone who had already bought one (myself included).

I thought Bungie had said that their next game wasn't goign to be Halo3.

Initially, Microsoft was gaining money from the Xbox but when they started to lower the prices they begain to lose money. I think now, they're loosing about $50 per console. It's nothing Bill Gates and his vast amount of money can't handle though.

Same here. Propoganda, perhaps..?
EDIT:

:

Approximately one-third of the way through the interview, Kim is asked: "What is going to give MGS the competitive advantage moving into the next generation of video games?" After heaping praise on the developer's suite of internal studios and external partners, Kim also talked up its properties. "We've also built some great franchises that customers love and look forward to playing for many generations of Xbox, like Halo, Fable, Project Gotham Racing, and the upcoming Jade Empire and Forza Motorsport."

They're just hinting, they're not confirming...

Yes. I bought one when they first came out, $500 NZ. 5 months later, my brother bought one for $300 NZ and it came with two games a remote.

Holy shit, $500?

over here, it was $300 when it first came out

$500 New Zealand dollars, not American. Man, our dollar was worthless then :P

Facsimile · #18 04-23-2005, 03:54 AM

I thought it was $600 when it came out, Super Munch...

I'm trying to think what I got mine for. $460 with free MO I think. Then the week later that deal came out with Halo, Sega GT and JSRF came out. I wasn't annoyed though, I hated Halo at the time and I only wanted MO.

Hobo · #19 04-23-2005, 04:52 AM

Ah what a fool you were.

Anyway, I think i've gone past the stage of wanting a new console. Barely play on my xbox as it is. I'm bored of shelling out £30 for something that'll give me so little entertainment, when i could buy 3 or 4 cds for that price.

Rip off i say.
