taken from ntsc-uk forums, probably is bull****:

"Grand Theft Auto IV October 2007! EXCLUSIVE to 360!"

monkeyfudge

But they said GTA IV will be available on the 360 from day one... that doesn't sound like it's going to be exclusive.

evad_lhorg

where does it say exclusive?

honru

By the sounds of things it will be exclusive for a period of time, like the PS2 GTAs.

I've got to take my jacket off ... Some of you may remember this ... It's no big secret that I saved the big guns for the bog guns! Some guys do rubber ducks, so guys do tattoos. Moore takes off his jacket -- to show off his Halo 2 tattoo. The other arm has a Grand Theft Auto IV tattoo! October 16, 2007 in North America, October 19 in Europe.

3:26 pm - Microsoft and Rockstar games have entered into an exclusive partnership to provide exclusive episodic content through Xbox Live. Moore is interrupted by applause after this announcement. The crowd was not expecting this, and is pumped to hear it.

nah, at first available date, which means it ISNT an exclusive for anyone, most importantly Sony.

Info on Halo 3 trailer, nice plot line, I wonder if the movie will take place between Halo 2 and Halo 3 or will it be a prequel to 1

evad_lhorg

the game is not exclusive the extra content will be on xbox live though

honru

Looks like those live feeds were exclusive to Gamespot subscribers only.

I lol'd.

hmmm Live Anywhere, seems like an interesting idea, dunno how successful it will be

flogen

Yawn... Yawn and more Yawn... MS detailing their plan for world domination.

As I said to evad, it was to be expected that they'd use their PC muscle (aka Windows) to try and squeeze Sony and Nintendo out of the picture.

Goodshape

All this Live Anywhere stuff and vista-integration sounds pretty neat from a computer/networking POV.

Pity I hate MS/Windows so much. Here's hoping for some Linux/OSS hacks for the better stuff

The trailer is on their site now:

I'd say it might work against Sony, who can't hope to pull of the same level of cross-platform integration, but I think Nintendo have safely distenced themselves from that. They just want to make good games, aparently.

GTA 4 is coming to PS3 and 360 same date, no exclusivity:

It's playable on PS3 at the show

kaisersose77

i wont pay attention to ntsc-uk forums then

edit

from eurogamer's live text coverage:

"The only place to play next-gen Madden will be right here on Xbox 360," he says, cryptically. And he mentions Pro Evolution Soccer.

They're still delivering software for first-gen Xbox as well he says. Though mainly it's third parties, in this case

??

suppose whoever that is speaking means they think the 360 version will be better than ps3, wii then

yeah, not sure what they meant by that, that it will be the only next gen platform for madden, maybe they're still saying that Sony and Ninty aren't next gen enough... pfft

anyone looking for the trailer, bungie seems faster than marketplace, at seventyfive percent now

Straight from Michael Moore.
