I can't imagine that FFXIII wouldn't come to Japan. Not that the 360 is big there, but if they've got it made why the hell wouldn't they?

Between that and SO4 the 360 has rising appeal to Japanese RPG gamers.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Not like japanese RPGs are still a nice field to attack in this generation :x

its only day 1 and the 360 is lookin mighty good already.

i bought a PS3 for MGS4, they had better come out with something spectacular so i wont have regretted getting it.

also, i really really like the way star ocean 4 is looking. especially since i enjoyed the shit out of the others.

[Vangulus The Great]

Nintendo is keeping their mouth shut about something,

Something BIG that we don't know about and could easily guess at, but whatever it is I guarantee it won't come out this year.

EDIT: No I'm not talking about Valley Of The Deluge or whatever that Zelda game rumor/fake interview was.

Highly not believing a slimmer DS Lite WITHOUT a GBA slot.

Why?

Fucking goddamn Pokemon you retard.

· Play from hard drive. Copy your games from the game disc and play directly from the hard drive. Not only will the drive not spin, but load times are quicker, as well. Of course, you will still need the disc in the tray to prove you own the game.

· Access Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web. Browse and purchase Marketplace content whenever you want from Xbox.com and it downloads automatically to your console. Purchase that new map, television episode, the latest Xbox LIVE Arcade game or set up a movie to watch when you get home from work.

· Dashboard built into the new Xbox Guide. For everyone who loves the blades interface, it’s not going away; they are now built directly in to the new Xbox guide. Every feature and option is available right from the guide. You can even access your full games library at all times. No matter where you are (in dash or in game), immediately call up your games played list and directly launch a game.

· LIVE Party system. Create a party of up to eight friends, and stay with them from one game to another, or watch a Netflix movie together, or share a slideshow of your personal photos. It works with all Xbox 360 titles, not just upcoming games. LIVE Party allows up to eight people to chat in the dashboard, so you can meet up before playing.

· Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games is going to give you more reasons to get online with your friends. Games will support everything you’d expect, like Achievements and leader boards, but many of these games will include real prizes. You can invite your friends, and even set a reminder for an upcoming show. Each game is broadcast simultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions. Many events will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen.

· Avatars. Your online identity started as a Gamertag - it then grew into a personalized Gamercard. Now, it has evolved even further into avatars. You can express your style, check out new outfits and share this with the community. Avatars will also be integrated into Xbox LIVE Arcade games, LIVE Party, as well as retail games.

· New display support. Because you asked for it, we are adding 16X10 over VGA or HDMI, and support for 1440x900 or 1680x1050.

HOHOHOLY shit the 360 just got better in my eyes

mostly stoked for the expanded HDD use and improved party system. 8-way chat on the dashboard hell yeah

Fixed.

Why?

THEY ARE MAKING A SILVER DS LITE (Guitar Hero DS minus the logo and more shiny)

[Kyosuke Kagami]

The idea to play games directly from HDD is something I wouldn't expect to do it... legally :P

But well, that was a rad move. Will surely reduce the possibilities to see RRoD now.

... I want a fucking 360 now.

[The Butthole Surfer]

I was on the phone with my manager for the entire Microsoft press conference, and when it got the the FFXIII announcement, I yelled out loud in the store.

Good thing I was the only one there.

[helix eternal]

I'm totally butthurt about Final Fantasy XIII being on 360 as well. PS3 version will still be better since it'll only need 1 disc rather than like, 5 or 6

[Reenee]

Who's saying the game will use the full 50GB?

[Mangojoyride]

YouTube - METALLICA!

i present to you, this years "ridge racer"

note the "rock on" hand gesture and one "woo" in the background

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Swapping discs isn't something that would hurt anyone, anyway.

The "zomg multiple discs = obsolete" argument is weak and totally pointless. So if they make FF XIII a more-than-1-disc game, that's perfectly fine.

Not that I'm interested, by the way. I'm more inclined to see SO4.

[BemaniAK]

I'd say the PS3 version is the definitive version more for the fact that Versus is exclusive, I'm not sure if it will be a kind of "continuation" or help you understand things in FF13 better, but yeah, 2 FF13 games versus 1, I know which system I'd buy it for.

I was a little disappointed, I was going in expecting lots more gameplay, I would have loved to see even a snippet of guitar hero: world tour.
Instead they change the already-good dashboard design, make wii ripoffs and make a bit of a HOME ripoff, and announce their singstar ripoff, their eyetoy: play ripoff etc. etc.
Needless to say I'm still not getting a next gen console after that presentation, I can only hope Nintendo and Sony have something to sway me to buy one...

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Wasn't Versus supposed to not be a RPG?

Anything non-RPG related from Square is usually... well, not good (see: Dirge of Cerberus, The Bouncer).
