tada der neue thread ist da :v:
ja ja ich weiß es gibt schon einen thread der sich nur um das lineup der xbox 360 dreht und von 2010 bis 2012 geht aber es gibt ein problem
der thread ist meiner meinung nach einfach unübersichtlich und man verliert sich bei spielen die 2012 oder überhaupt nicht erscheinen werden
deshalb habe ich einen thread aufgemacht der sich nur um das jahr 2011 dreht
hier werden alle spiele aufgezählt die 2011 erscheinen können und werden ( also kein lost odyssey 2 und co )
ich hoffe ihr bekommt dadurch einen besseren überblick
verbesserungswünsche sind natürlich sehr erwünscht und wenn ich ein spiel vergessen habe dann bitte ruhig bescheid sagen
ich wäre euch sehr dankbar wenn ihr den thread nicht ins lächerliche zieht, keine absichtliche vergleiche mit der konkurrenz macht ( es soll hier nur um die xbox 360 gehen ) und wenn der thread nicht geschlossen wird

Fantastic Pets
THQ hat jetzt das Kinect-Spiel Fantastic Pets (Fantastische Haustiere) angekündigt. Laut dem Publisher ist Fantastic Pets das erste Augmented Reality-Spiel für Kinect, bei dem man sich selbst auf den Bildschirm projizieren kann, um mit eigens kreierten Haustieren zu interagieren. Zunächst beginnt man mit vier verschiedenen Haustieren, Hund, Katze, Pferd und Eidechse, die nach Wunsch in Fantasiewesen wie Einhörner oder Drachen verwandelt werden können.
Mit Hilfe der Spracherkennungsfunktion geben Herrchen oder Frauchen in Mini-Spielen und Talent-Shows Befehle an ihre Liebsten, um den Rang eines professionellen Tiertrainers/Dresseurs zu erlangen. Während des Spiels können fortlaufend neue Gegenstände und Aktivitäten freigeschaltet werden. Eine Fotofunktion erlaubt es den Spielern, eigene Bilder von sich und den Tieren zu schießen. Fantastic Pets, entwickelt von Blitz Games, wird im März 2011 auf den Markt kommen
„Fantastische Haustiere bietet einen unglaublich hohen Grad an Interaktivität, Kreativität und Originalität”, sagt Martin Good, Executive Vice President, THQ Kids, Family, Casual Games, und Global Online Services. „Wenn man erst mal den Charakter seines virtuellen Haustieres richtig kennengelernt und sich in die Welt eingefunden hat, wirkt Fantastische Haustiere mehr wie ein personalisiertes Abenteuer als ein Videospiel.“

In his last podcast 'Show 382: 2010 end of year wrap-up', Major Nelson reveals that the week after CES11, he'll be going to New York to do Press Event for a 'Really,Really Good Game' coming up that he can't talk about.

Next November marks the 10-year anniversary of Microsoft's entry into the console market and to celebrate, they seem to have an amazing line-up set to go. The big game announcements haven't even begun, but from what I know 2011 should be a killer year.
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1138527p1.html
Microsoft is closing out 2010 on a high note.
The company is on pace to hit its goal of 5 million Kinect sales, and for the past six months, Xbox 360 hardware sales in the United States continue to lead competitors Sony and Nintendo. According to research group NPD, U.S. Xbox 360 console sales have reached 4.9 million in 2010 through November, and is on pace to have its best-selling year since launch in 2005.
On the software side, Microsoft's heavy-hitter Halo: Reach flew off stores shelves this past September, selling 3.3 million copies in the Unites States alone during its launch month, making it the fastest-selling Halo game to date.
But what about 2011?
Microsoft has been pretty quiet about its plans for next year. Gears of War 3 and Forza Motorsport 4 are the only two major exclusive titles announced so far that have release windows. A plethora of 2011 Kinect-exclusive titles were also unveiled at this past year's Tokyo Game Show, such as Project Draco and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, but we haven't seen much of anything from those.
Xbox Group Product Manager David Dennis explained to IGN in a recent interview, however, the company has even more in store for fans next year, including a variety of still-unannounced exclusive titles.
"We have other games in the pipeline, Kinect games, non-Kinect games, core and casual games, and other third-party titles," Dennis said. "We've also got some tricks up our sleeve that we haven't announced on the Xbox Live front as well. I think we certainly feel like we have the setup for great, continued momentum."
"I don't think we'd trade places with anyone at this point in time."
Microsoft's internal goal of 5 million Kinect unit sales worldwide by the end of 2010 will likely be met. In the first 25 days on sale the company sold 2.5 million Kinects. Microsoft isn't satisfied with having a stellar launch, though. Dennis said the motion camera will be a big focus for Xbox 360 going forward next year.
"Our business is about long-term sustainability of the platform. We have internal [sales] numbers that we're forecasting but haven't put anything out there yet," he added. "It's going to be central to the platform and everything we're doing in the future will be centered around Kinect," Dennis added, who quickly clarified saying he doesn't mean every core game will necessarily include Kinect features.
"We'll continue to invest in Kinect games but then also invest in the core franchises and new IP that are centered around core gaming."
Fans likely won't see or hear about Microsoft's plans for next year until the company's annual press show, which typically takes place during February of each year.

Avatar Kinect revealed, brings gesture to 360 chat
Microsoft has unveiled Avatar Kinect at its CES 2011 keynote presentation. The social suite uses the peripheral’s motion sensing capabilities to translate the user’s gestures and facial expressions into Avatar animations for multi-user chats.
The new application drops players’ Avatars into a variety of differently-themed environments, where they can engage in “face-to-face” chat through their virtual personas. Seated in a circle, the avatars act out players’ physical movements and expressions.
Somewhat like text-to-animation service Xtranormal, users can record their sessions to create webisodes or vodcasts, which can then be shared on the web.
Existing social services like those packaged with ESPN will be able to utilise the application’s features.
Free to all gold-level Xbox LIVE subscribers, Avatar Kinect launches in Spring.
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, introduced the software in his avatar form, showing off the Kinect’s ability to recognise gestures as small as waggling eyebrows.
Further, taped demonstrations showed Kinect Avatar animating hand and arm gestures, and translating facial expressions into emotes. There were no “bam! there it is” moments.
The existence of Avatar Kinect was leaked on Tuesday.
There a video of the Avatar Kinect part of the MS keynote below (thanks, Prof.Dr.Moertel):

CES: Microsoft on Kinect, the 360, and the future of Xbox Live
We chat with Microsoft about balancing Kinect, the core, and more at the 2011 CES.
This week at CES we had the opportunity to chat with David Dennis, Group Manager for Public Relations, Interactive Entertainment Business (in English: PR Manager for Xbox 360/Kinect amongst other things) briefly about the Xbox 360, Kinect, and Xbox Live. While much of our conversation reiterated points made during Steve Ballmer's CES Keynote for Microsoft the night prior, Dennis shared a number of important bits of information on Microsoft's philosophy moving forward with the Xbox 360 and Kinect.
On Kinect and the Dashboard:
"Obviously we continue to work to add Kinect functionality to the Xbox 360 experience. We're still working on adding additional language options and voice commands to (it)." Dennis was less clear about the Kinect Hub adding support for media streaming outside of the ESPN/Netflix/Zune/Hulu ecosystem; when asked whether Kinect and voice playback of media streamed from Windows PCs would be added to the Xbox 360 dashboard, Dennis demurred, stating that Microsoft's ultimate goal was parity between the standard controller driven interface and Kinect.
On Kinect vs. the Hardcore
"Obviously we're very excited by the success of Kinect," Dennis said. "But we have no intention of abandoning the Xbox 360 audience that bought in originally. We're very aware of the key role the enthusiastic core audience played in making the Xbox 360 what it is, and we'll continue to support and develop (titles) like Halo and Gears of War." Crytek's exclusive Codename: Kingdoms was mentioned and Dennis stressed that there are a number of core-focused titles in development that have not been announced.
On additional improvements to Xbox Live:
"A lot of the improvements we've made to Xbox Live over the last year have been behind the scenes -- a lot of work went into making sure Xbox Live was ready for the release of Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops," Dennis said, tacitly acknowledging the previous issues the service has experienced in the wake of high profile releases like Modern Warfare and Halo 3. "But," he continued, "we're very aware of the kinds of improvements Live users want to see, and we'll continue to work on developing the service." When asked what the biggest player priority seemed to be off the top of his head, Dennis replied "the friends list issue, which, you know, only affects a certain percentage of users, but clearly it's very important to them."

Microsoft is closing out 2010 on a high note.
The company is on pace to hit its goal of 5 million Kinect sales, and for the past six months, Xbox 360 hardware sales in the United States continue to lead competitors Sony and Nintendo. According to research group NPD, U.S. Xbox 360 console sales have reached 4.9 million in 2010 through November, and is on pace to have its best-selling year since launch in 2005.
On the software side, Microsoft's heavy-hitter Halo: Reach flew off stores shelves this past September, selling 3.3 million copies in the Unites States alone during its launch month, making it the fastest-selling Halo game to date.
But what about 2011?
Microsoft has been pretty quiet about its plans for next year. Gears of War 3 and Forza Motorsport 4 are the only two major exclusive titles announced so far that have release windows. A plethora of 2011 Kinect-exclusive titles were also unveiled at this past year's Tokyo Game Show, such as Project Draco and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, but we haven't seen much of anything from those.
Xbox Group Product Manager David Dennis explained to IGN in a recent interview, however, the company has even more in store for fans next year, including a variety of still-unannounced exclusive titles.
"We have other games in the pipeline, Kinect games, non-Kinect games, core and casual games, and other third-party titles," Dennis said. "We've also got some tricks up our sleeve that we haven't announced on the Xbox Live front as well. I think we certainly feel like we have the setup for great, continued momentum."
"I don't think we'd trade places with anyone at this point in time."
Microsoft's internal goal of 5 million Kinect unit sales worldwide by the end of 2010 will likely be met. In the first 25 days on sale the company sold 2.5 million Kinects. Microsoft isn't satisfied with having a stellar launch, though. Dennis said the motion camera will be a big focus for Xbox 360 going forward next year.
"Our business is about long-term sustainability of the platform. We have internal [sales] numbers that we're forecasting but haven't put anything out there yet," he added. "It's going to be central to the platform and everything we're doing in the future will be centered around Kinect," Dennis added, who quickly clarified saying he doesn't mean every core game will necessarily include Kinect features.
"We'll continue to invest in Kinect games but then also invest in the core franchises and new IP that are centered around core gaming."
Fans likely won't see or hear about Microsoft's plans for next year until the company's annual press show, which typically takes place during February of each year.
