I have some interest in those games, but only PGR3 and PD0 are locks for me so far.

 

[vatstep]

Call of Duty 2
Condemned
Dead Or Alive 4
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Full Auto
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Kameo: Elements of Power
Madden NFL 06
Perfect Dark LE (if Wallguy is in it)
Project Gotham Racing 3
Ridge Racer 6

I'm interested in all of these games. No way I'll buy them all, but shit that's a lot of money. If I can only buy two (which'll probably be the case), it'll be COD2 and PGR3.

GOD DAMN YOU CYPHER

That's 21 games - MS has been saying 10-15 since E3. I doubt FFXI (From Microsoft not Square?!), Oblivior, Gun and one of either Kameo or PD0 will make it. The rest seem plausable.

 

[Norse]

i am thinking maybe 17 or so of all the games listed will actually make it out during launch...but still, that list pretty much has something for everyone.

Hope gamefly supports x360 at launch. If they do, I will rent all games from them and then just keep the ones I like.

Man, less than 3 months left. woo hoo!

 

[FightyF]

Holy crap...I'm seriously gonna need to save up a good $1500 for launch!

 

[Guy LeDouche]

two Rare games ready for launch?

Congrats to them if they do, but seriously. Rare is lucky to put out two top tier games in a generation.

 

[op_ivy]

didnt they say 10-15 at launch?

i'd bet that list for the year though

 

[gamewhooper]

im buying for sure:

Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero
CoD2

How can you put something like Kameo above Zelda? Blasphemy!

Oblivion will make launch
GUN comes out for the other systems around the same time, so I expect it to launch or near launch
PD0 is THE big game for mainstream fans, it needs to make launch

I dont think Amped, Kameo, FFIX, and maybe even Top Spin will make launch

 

[shpankey]

My locks (so far)...

Call of Duty 2
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Madden NFL 06
Project Gotham Racing 3
NBA Live 06


Either will rent, or maybe buys...

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Kameo: Elements of Power
NBA 2K6
NHL 2K6
Perfect Dark LE
Quake 4
Ridge Racer 6
Top Spin 2
Burnout Revenge
FIFA Soccer 06
Peter Jackson's King Kong
Need For Speed Most Wanted
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06

 

[Kabuki Waq]

i dont think Quake 4 and rr6 will make launch either.

 

[Lo-Volt]

I hope Microsoft can give firm release dates into the first half of 2006 soon. This is getting hard to plan for you launch buyers.

 

[krypt0nian]

Totally agree. At this point its 6-7 titles without knowing which ones yet.

 

[newsguy]

A little pissed to hear NBA live won't launch till later. Gotta have Madden and COD 2, but PGR 3 is one of those must buy titles that I may have to rent

Shit forgot GRAW

 

[Lo-Volt]

But I'm skipping the launch. I'll get all of these by next March. Which makes it hard to choose anyway, there's too much to choose from the launch window stuff alone. :lol

 

[Eric Hall]

I only plan on picking up Perfect Dark and maybe Condemned

I plan to rent alot more though

 

[drohne]

ridge racer 6 and oblivion would make an excellent launch, as far as i'm concerned. i might tack on call of duty to round things out.

 

[newsguy]

But I'm skipping the launch. I'll get all of these by next March. Which makes it hard to choose anyway, there's too much to choose from the launch window stuff alone. :lol

Just pray it doesn't suffer the dropoff the PSP did. It had a great launch and it's been dry season since.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Is there a release date for the Xbox 360 in Japan yet?

 

[Lo-Volt]

Just pray it doesn't suffer the dropoff the PSP did. It had a great launch and it's been dry season since.

This is true. But I'm poor and not hardcore, so that's enough as is. :lol

 

[Blimblim]

2k Games told me last week that Amped 3 would be late. Don't know if it's only for Europe or also for US though.

 

[_Angelus_]

Must buy no more than two games...must buy no more than two games

Oblivion and PGR3 it is.

That list....even if only half of those make it to launch is pretty damn slick.

 

[newsguy]

2k Games told me last week that Amped 3 would be late. Don't know if it's only for Europe or also for US though.

A great current gen vs. next gen comparison would be Amped 2 vs. Amped 3 IMO. Both @720p on a 720 native display, that would be great for a "real world" comparison.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

I'll get Gotham 3 and Ridge Racer 6. Two racing games with probably a lot of depth to them but its the only ones that are more likely than not must-haves.

 

[FightyF]

Just pray it doesn't suffer the dropoff the PSP did. It had a great launch and it's been dry season since.

That's a good point.

I fear the same here...except that some launch titles will slip into early next year, and then there will be nothing much for the summer. So it should be bearable.

Plus, I can see so many more great titles here than for the PSP launch.

# Amped 3 (2K Games) MAYBE
# Call of Duty 2 (Activision) FO SHO!
# Condemned (Sega) MAYBE
# Dead Or Alive 4 (Tecmo) DEPENDS ON GAMEPLAY
# Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter FO SHO!
# Madden NFL 06 (EA) RENT
# NBA 2K6 (2K Games) RENT
# NHL 2K6 (2K Games) FO SHO!
# Perfect Dark LE (Microsoft) FO SHO!
# Project Gotham Racing 3 (Microsoft) FO SHO!
# Ridge Racer 6 (Namco) FO SHO!
# Saints Row (THQ) RENT
# Top Spin 2 (2K Games) RENT

So that's around $300+ on games at launch. The rest I might depending on how I feel after rental.

 

[Tedesco!]

NHL
Ghost Recon
Tiger Woo

All mine!

 

[newsguy]

NHL
Ghost Recon
Tiger Woo

All mine!

You might want to rent TW Golf first. I love to watch 360 vids and this one looks shit man. Maybe you could save $10 and get the current gen version.

 

[IJoel]

This is a case of a lot of very good games, but no killer app (though Oblivion and PGR3 for me are definite system sellers.)

# Amped 3 (2K Games) - Potential Buy
# Call of Duty 2 (Activision) - Definite Buy

Damn... that's a lot of games I want.

 

[_Angelus_]

I've got two friends who may buy a X360. They haven't pre ordered but they'll more than likely be in a Best Buy line at the last minute. Thats going to work out quite well,especially with the games costing 60 dollars now.

 

[Speevy]

I'd buy Oblivion, Kameo, and Top Spin. Possibly another one, and rent the rest. But then again, I'm not buying the system at launch. How much does it cost to rent systems?

 

[Mrbob]

Damn fine list of launch titles.

 

[Mashing]

Hmm, Kameo and Oblivion would be my two buys. I'll probalby not buy a X360 at launch but with that said I'll probalby break down and do it anyway... I say the same thing every year and I always end up buying them at launch. Especially since PS3, Rev and X360 are spaced far enough apart as to not put me in the poor house if I bought all 3.

 

[trmas]

No way Ridge Racer is available at launch - that is a pipe dream. Maybe half of those games will be available at launch. That is the "launch window" list... what a stupid term

Also, PD0 will not make launch. I mean, it has a long way to go to just be an acceptable next-gen game.

From the article:

Microsoft representatives officially re-confirmed with IGN today Rare titles Perfect Dark and Kameo would definitely launch day and date with the system, echoing Vice President Peter Moore's comments prior to E3.

Didn't Namco just say it would make launch a week ago?

You're right about PD0 but not for the reason you stated. It won't be a launch title because Rare is making it. Have they ever had a title ready at launch?

Edit: how many times has a developer said so and so game will be a launch title and then it inetiviablly gets delayed? I'll believe it when I see it on store shelves at launch, not before then.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I pre-ordered my Xbox 360 at the local EBGames today...They told me I'd be able to get one if I pre-ordered now I launch day, so I'm holding them to their word. Starting to think about which games I'm actually going to get.

In the running is...

Call of Duty 2 (Activision)
Condemned (Sega)
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Bethesda)
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Perfect Dark Zero (Microsoft)
Burnout Revenge (EA)
Frame City Killer (Namco)

 

[Beer Monkey]

Put me down for GRAW, RR6, PGR3 (only if 60fps), and lots of renting (2 free per month, plus probably a couple more each month). I might buy a few more but only after renting.

This quote will go badly for you.

 

[Zeo]

Man, you guys sure let the hype get to you.

I'M DEFINITELY GETTING THE FOLLOWING GAMES:

(list here)

Except you barely know about them. :\ PDZ? How is that a must buy yet? We know little to nothing about it.

 

[newsguy]

(list here)

What? We may not know what the single player campaign will be like, but there's been tons of stuff released about multiplayer.

 

[trmas]

I hope PD0 doesn't make launch, because it looks like ass currently. If Ridge Racer made launch that would be interesting, considering we haven't seen ANYTHING for the game but some beautiful car renders on a black background.

 

[PG2G]

Yeah, I know people say dates all the time and there is a good chance that they'll slip. But I can't predict the future and neither can anyone here, so all we have to go by is what they are planning. The plan for Ridge Racer seems to be launch. Maybe we should wait until X05, where we can get a better idea of how far along these games really are.

 

[Speevy]

I can't wait for launch day.

You know, it won't even matter if the XBOX 360 is over-priced. I just won't buy them.
