Microsoft Japanese Press Briefing

[Andy]

Looks like another press event is going down in Japan, this time for MS. I'll try to update this thread with whatever gets announced.

Feed from the GAF/1UP/IGN fags on the scene:
http://game-science.com/one/

Apparently there are big expectations for this show, with rumors ranging from a new Chrono game, to a new Seiken Densetsu, a new Tales of title, Phantasy Star Universe 360, and Virtua Fighter 5. So, yeah, if you're not into the f-chan stuff, don't bother with this thread.

It's just starting..

briefing coming to a close. final speech from sensui.

wtf. So this unnamed Tri-Ace game is the RPG that would move 500k in Japan if released on PS2? Eh..

I was expecting at least PSU 360 and VF5. That was pretty fucking weak.

[maruchan]

lol whens the last time tri-ace released somethign that moved 500k for any system...

[mollipen]

Wow... sounds utterly weak. As the GAF folk would say, Xbox 360 in Japan am cry. Except for XBLA Galaga - oh hell yeah. I'll get my ass kicked, rankings wise, but I'll still eat it up. And screw Pac-man - bring us sped-up arcade style Ms. Pac-man, as that's the only Pac-man you need.

Edit: Oh, of course, SNK can start announcing XBLA stuff as well. Mark of the Wolves, Last Blade 1 + 2, KoF '98 + '02, SamSho 2 please. Oh sweet Xbox 360, your silly downloadable games are so much more exciting than your "real" games.

[Andy]

Uh.. Star Ocean 3, Grandia 3.
