Microsoft Pre-TGS 2007 Press Briefing
>> Joystiq.com reported live from Microsoft"s Xbox 360 2007 pre-TGS briefing in Japan.
Here are the highlights:
* Unreal Engine 3-powered RPG Lost Odyssey is 95% completed. Lost Odyssey looks great, but the battle system appears to be quite dated (or traditional depending on which you prefer). Will be released on December 6th in Japan, February 2008 in USA, and the rest of Asia in January 2008.
* They're showing off the E3 trailer of Halo3.
* PGR4 is coming to Japan on 10/11 and Viva Pinata Party Animals is coming in 2007.
* Namco Bandai showing off a new trailer of Ace Combat 6 (which is an Xbox 360 timed exclusive if you'll recall). Will hit Japan on November 1st.
* Koei is showing off Dynasty Warriors 6, which will launch for PS3 and Xbox 360 at the same time this November.
* Trailer for the no-longer exclusive Devil May Cry 4, and say it will be on the Xbox 360 "early next year." It's unclear if the PS3 version has been delayed from its expected Q4 release or if both versions are coming out next year.
* Itagaki takes the stage and says this is the world premiere of Ninja Gaiden 2. He mentions the leak today (he calls it "the accident") so he's going to show off a new stage. The title is jam-packed with gore, handily earning it a Z (that's like an M/AO to us). Coming in 2008.
* They're showing off new pink and light blue wireless controllers coming 11/1 or 12/1 in Japan. They're also introducing the chatpad for the Japanese market, but there's no release date just yet.
* For Xbox Live Arcade, they're bringing Rez, Ikaruga, Every Extend Extra Extreme, EXIT, Omega Five, and Trigger Heart Exelica! Wowza!
* Square Enix shows Infinite Undiscovery, the fantasy RPG being developed by Tri-Ace, and Last Remnant.
