I would say Perfect Dark, Kameo, DOA4, Madden, NBA, Tiger Woods, NFS, pgr3, and Tony hawk are likely all locks.

COD2 and one of SEGA's two games is also likely.

One of the MS/Mistwalker RPGs and Gears of War is a possibility too.

We will know more at E3.

[MooglePorn]

I'm pretty sure Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a lock... Ign seems to think it is, and Bethesda said it would be on the next-gen XBOX for sure a while ago.

It's probably the game I am looking forward to more than any other...

[sub780lime]

i am most looking forward to perfect dark so a launch title would be great. i am interested to see how much the gameplay will have changed, i know artistically it looks different but i hope they hold onto a lot of the same features, such as stats and bots and all that good stuff

[Ruined]

updated!

Note that 2K Games (of former SEGA/ESPN fame) has more sports titles on the roster than EA

[Ruined]

updated!

[Notoriousaurus]

Are any in the thriller/horror catagory going to be launch titles?

Dead Rising looked like a lot was finished from the E3 demo, it may be able to launch with the console, or shortly afterwards. It's sort of like Dawn of the Dead meets Dead Alive. You are trapped in a mall with hundreds of zombies coming at you and have lots of innovative ways to massacre them (yes, including a lawnmower!) It is third person, and looks to focus on action/thrills/humor/gore more than being scary, sort of like a schlock-horror film. X360 has Geometry Instancing capabilities in the video hardware, meaning it can handle hundreds of detailed enemies on the screen at once with no problem.

Demonik is a 2006 release. SEGA's condemned also looks nowhere near complete. Not sure about the others.

That sounds like fun, but I hope it is more involved then State of Emergency, which is what this brings to mind.

updated with most likely launch titles and a couple of new games based on retailer info and announcements! News has it that XBOX360 will launch with 15-20 games and have ~50 games available within 3 months of launch

Did you say that Madden '06 is an XBox exclusive?

That list is enough to make me wet myself!!!!
Except for the mortal kombat game. I wish they'd just kill that franchise and get it over with.

[Notoriousaurus]

Guess I won't be buying From Russia With Love until I get a 360.

[sub780lime]

my most likely launch purchases will be perfect dark, DOA, and Marrowind

[Notoriousaurus]

Goddamn, I want this shit like there is no tomorrow. To finally be able to play FFXI without paying extra is going to be a dream come true.

November - December, the Xbox 360 will be mine along with these (if they come out)...

James Bond: From Russia With Love
Ninja Gaiden 2
Splinter Cell 4
Dead or Alive 4
Halo 3
Perfect Dark Zero

Just an FYI... I seriously doubt that Square-Enix is dropping the monthly fee for the game, it wouldnt make sense on their end to do that...

Sorry to shatter your dream, but odds are the monthly fee for FFXI will remain, just like it did on PSO for XBOX1.

November - December, the Xbox 360 will be mine along with these (if they come out)...

James Bond: From Russia With Love - TBA
Ninja Gaiden 2 - TBA
Splinter Cell 4 - TBA
Dead or Alive 4
Halo 3 - Summer 2006
Perfect Dark Zero
Top Spin 2 - TBA
Dead Rising - Q1 2006
The Godfather
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
The Darkness - TBA 2006
Project Gotham Racing 3

I would have never said this 5 years ago, but "Microsoft, I love you."

I bolded the titles that are slated to be out by xmas 2005 (though that may change - there could be more or less).

BTW, on the survival horror front, it looks like the title that will make it out by xmas 2005 will be SEGA's Condemned: Criminal Origins:

A demented horror game from Sega and Monolith, designed for next-generation consoles and game systems. You are an FBI agent on the hunt in this gripping and sickening hunt for serial killers. The game is played in first-person perspective, and with the use of the Havok 3.0 physics engine and other advanced techniques, players can utilize anything in the area as a weapon when they've been cornered by their prey.

From the look of things, Capcom's Dead Rising will likely hit Q1 2006, while Majesco's Demonik will likely hit Summer 2006, leaving Majesco's The Darkness for a holiday 2006 multiplatform release.

Bond also might make it out by XMAS, but strangely there is no official announcement of the x360 version of the game from EA yet, so it might not. Many sources have indicated it is in development though, so it should be out by Q1 2006 latest.

Sadly, it also seems that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has slipped back into Q1 2006 from its original Q4 2005 release date.

[furthest1]

The Godfather will suck. The fact atht it's made by EA ensures there is no violence and gore. Which will ruin a game about the mafia. I hate EA, they have ruined just about every franchise ther could. Now they ruined football by buying out ESPN.

Well... piss on you! I will still probably do it anyway, just for the ease. Everything bold I will probably pick up. What the deal with "FRWL"? I thought that was coming out for all platforms this fall. Why wouldn't it be out for X360?

I also thought this and it was on the upcoming release list in OXM UK and several other places, but EA still hasn't officially announced it for X360 or the date it is coming out yet, which is odd, as they have announced all of their other games coming out in the Fall for XBOX360. That is why I am unsure of the status.
