Sweet jebus, I can almost feel my wallet trembling in terror!:p
So far all that I've preordered is Burnout Paradise.

The Club and DMC4 are the next 2 on my list, but that's going to be a pretty damn big list by the end of the year...

Some of those look pretty damn amazing (although they got alot of "Only on Xbox" wrong)

johnny_ultimate · 22-01-2008 12:28pm

Heh looks like the whole 'generic super soldier with big guns and **** off armour' aestethic style is going to continue this year

But a couple of interesting ones thats for sure: DMC4 and Rez HD will deffo be my next purchases once my red ring has been dealt with. But some of the more unique games such as Alan Wake are going to be the most interesting. If they ever come out that is.

A game of Highlander? With this and the new series of Knightrider, 2008 must be the greatest year ever!

"Only On Xbox" means it will only be on the Xbox 360 console m8. PC is exempt

Gets most of those "Only on Xbox" titles aswell eventually. Just dont expect them appearing on PS3 or WII soon

But most of the ones it says are Xbox only are coming out on PC and PS3 at the same time. That's what Kiith was pointing out.

I came quite close to pooping myself just now. Looks like another amazing year of gaming. :eek:

What about KOTOR 3? Ive been waiting for that for a while.

And you will be waiting for a while longer i would think. Didn't Bioware say they had an MMO in the works, and the word on the street said that it was the next Kotor game.

We'll I went through the first 10 on the list, and they all seem to be "Only on xbox"
NB: As the article states, Only on xbox does not include PC or mac platforms.

Age of Conan - Xbox Only
Alan Wake - Xbox Only
Banjo kazooie 3 - Xbox Only
Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath - Xbox Only
Crash Time - (no mention of PS3 version)
Culdcept Saga - Xbox Only
Dark Messiah Might and Magic Elements - Xbox Only
Dead Island - Xbox Only
Elveon - Xbox Only
Fable 2 - Xbox Only

I'm interested to hear which ones are coming out on PS3 since you say most of them are? No doubt there are a few mis-labeled somewhere, but most...

yoyo · 22-01-2008 2:52pm

The only "Only On Xbox" game to reach the PS3 off the top of my head is Lost Planet, no other ones made their way over afaik...

because the IGN sites he links to say "Xbox 360, PC" in the platforms for the "Only on Xbox" games...

Its stated at the top of the thread "Only on xbox does not include PC or mac platforms."

I know that. But he's pointing out the game is coming out for the PC when the bit he quoted says that isn't taken into account.

Branoic · 22-01-2008 9:24pm

Arrgh, stop the confusion! Jeez!

Listen, the quote "Only on XBox does not include PC or Mac" means that the phrase "Only on XBox" is only to be applied to other consoles. In other words, where he says "Only on XBox" what he really means is that it is not coming out on PS3 or Wii. It may very well be coming out on PC, but he's only talking about consoles!

steviec · 23-01-2008 12:04am

While we're on the topic, aside from all the PC games, N+ is listed as only on xbox when it's also out on DS and PSP.

And Rez and Ikaruga being only on xbox is a bit of a stretch when they're both ports of last gen games.

conzy · 23-01-2008 12:42am

Who cares?

And Alan Wake is coming to PC pew pew etc

humanji · 23-01-2008 8:56am

Actually, isn't saying "xbox only (not including PC and mac)" a bit of a cop out? They may as well say "xbox only (not including any other format)" and they can pretend they're exclusives.

Oh and Elveon is coming out on PS3 too.

The author (who is just a random person like me and you) is obviously just interested in the 360/PS3/Wii battle.
So Elveon is one (and that change must have been fairly recent as most sites still saying PC + X360 only), where are the rest that are coming out on PS3?

I hadn't read the the list makers post when I posted the original post (thought Yoy was pointing out that it was xbox360 not xbox. God knows why, but that's how my brain works). I still think that it's a cop out. The fanboyism just makes him look petty.

And I don't know if that's changed, but Age Of Conan, Alan Wake, Huxley, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Left 4 Dead were to be released in a PS3 format at one point. Don't know/care if the PS3 versions are cancelled or coming out in 2009, but they were at one point slated for a release.

Oh, and McGovern, you're now on my shìtlist because I had to look through that list again and noticed that Highlander may be cancelled. Thank's for crushing my dreams

Alan Wake is a Microsoft Games Studio release and has been for years.
Huxley will supposedly allow cross platform play, so wasn't slated for PS3 as its not currently possible.
Ninja Gaiden 2 on PS3 was only a rumour based off Team Ninja several years ago saying they hadn't decided what platforms to make the game on.

Not sure about the rest, but I do agree posting "Only on Xbox" makes it look petty, he should have put "Console Exclusive" or similar to clear up the confusion.

humanji · 23-01-2008 12:51pm

And yet you conveniently ignore my point on Highlander! You're only making it worse! :P
