Cell phone pictures of a blockbuster video computer screen seeming to show 3 new 360 titles, thats right, ace combat, katamari, warhammer, 360.


What do you think?

data entry error?

As a note : What’s interesting is that all these titles are published by Namco and Namco is supporting Microsoft’s next-gen platform more and more since it’s launch. The amount of Namco games on the original Xbox might have been pathetic, the amount of 360 titles from the Japanese publishing house has already outnumbered the Xbox releases

    Yes because I'm sure they would tell blockbuster about the games before you know.. Making a press release talking about them.

    yeah, like a team disbanding has ever stopped a company from making a sequel before :P

    also

    Namco has registered a trademark for the name "Beautiful Katamari Damacy," adding legitimacy to the Katamari picture.


    the ace combat is the one that is hardest to believe. but the one i hope so hard to be true.


    Stranger things have happened randombattle.

    If/When Katamari comes to the 360 is when my wife will buy one before I can even ask her.

    I doubt Namco has any interest in keeping AC Sony exclusive any more.

    I'm not denying that it wont happen, but if it does it definitely wont be by the original Katamari team. Devil May Cry 2 wasnt made by the DMC team, and we all know how that turned out. So I await it with cautious optimism.

    If not, oh well.

    But still, Katamari on the 360?

    Yes please!

    could be placeholder or something, odd, but it could be.


    if you were trying to fake something though, i dont know why you would put nintendo and not a more believable namco or Microsoft or something.


    Mark of Chaos is a game already out on the PC, pretty good reviews, looks like an RTS linky to review

    Haven't you heard? Nintendo owns Microsoft now. It also owns Sony. The whole console wars are just a sham to make consumers think they have a choice.

    Ace Combat 360? I don't got that kinda money!

    For the love of god that's the only reason I'm hoping it's not true!
    (other wise, the series could use a fresh coat of paint and some.. online play...)

    I always thought Ace Combat was one of those games that people stayed away from, yet still sold a lot of copies.

    I guess not.

    Actually, I know a few communist AC fans... so really, no boundaries.

    Katamari 360 would be weird. I thought the highly pixelated graphics were part of the charm. Why polish it up?

    AC is the "serious, but still not a sim" arcade flight sim.

    Easily the best arcade flight series ever.

    The new 360 will be $479.99

    and come with HDMI cables

    the 120GB HDD will retail for less than $200

    it'll be out in April

    I'm like 95% sure it said April

    Which means I want to hold out on buying the used 360 I have stashed away

    because that system should make the core system drop in price

    and the hard drive drop in price

    maybe

    i hope

    well, as opposed to hiding bits of information that could very well be mistaken for real throughout the magazine, Game informer has a special section called "Game InFarcer" where they put all their april fools jokes.

    Cover story = Naughty dog's previously unannounced PS3 project, it looks pretty bland

    Ace Combat's already been on a non-Sony system. There was an Ace Combat Advance.

    ...I'm just sayin'. They could've held off a couple months and released a PSP game if they wanted the series to stay Sony-exclusive.

    Yes. Very yes.

    Fires of Liberation is even a promising title. It seems to imply that you'll be fighting to free an occupied nation from brutal invaders. Your wingmen might not all be whiny pacifists for a change.
