From a story someone posted yesterday, "Official Xbox Editor Jon Hicks has told CVG that the mag will next month reveal the return of a "substantial franchise" - as an Xbox exclusive."

Okay, so running down the list of "substantial" franchises that were once XB exclusives and then later were not.

- Ninja Gaiden

- Dead or Alive

- Ummm... what else?  Obviously games that are still exclusive don't count.

- Splinter Cell (never going to happen)

- Did Bizarre Creations ever cross over with Metropolis Street Racer?

That's all I can come up with.

It's Xcom.

Well that's unfortunate that the original Xbox Live is shut down as of today but then again I don't play any original Xbox games online anymore so, meh. At least on the positive side they say this will allow them to make enhancements to the current Live model so it should be interesting to see what these enhancements might be.

FREE would be a nice enhancement.

If you need a video to explain the controls it is NOT intuitive.

I don't, you did. MY GUY DID NOT MOVE LIKE THAT!

Agnates said:

Does too. Intuitive means you don't need practice? I suppose even Wii Sports isn't intuitive then. They're comfortable, context sensitive to streamline them further, and mostly make sense (ie tilting left and press attack with the longsword will do an attack and left dodge, if you tilt right then a right dodge, stuff like that). That's intuitive.

No not exactly, just trying to challenge what you posted. Intuitive means the controls make sense. Sorry but none of that is intuative, turn your wiimote in different directions during an action game does not make for good controls. And turning your control to the side does not mean you will attack in that direction, it is a different attack for each weapon. You need like a map to understand the controls, they are not intuitive at all.

I found those scans, I have seen them. They still dont tell me anything. I want to know how the battle system works.

 There's tons of details in the thread. Penis. 

Did you see my penis yet? Shall I show you? Leo says its flaccid but that's a lie.

They're intuitive as game controllers allow them to be, how is it any less intuitive than moving a stick to a direction or pressing two buttons together to do an attack? The buttons don't indicate a direction either. And as said already in some weapons the direction does translate. Not every game works like tekken where you have left punch right punch left kick right click, and even in that you still need combinations that don't make sense (ie, pressing buttons together won't always result in a move that uses the specific limbs). That doesn't make games unintuitive, not by actual gamer standards who understand certain concepts already at least, I suppose they're unintuitive for casuals hence why they don't play such titles. Few main attack buttons and slight twists to activate specials are more intuitive than having even more attack buttons and combinations imo though.

I cannot believe this discussion is happening, this is like me arguing that MGS has an easy storyline to follow.

Definition of intuitive: perceiving by intuition

When I pick up the wiimote in any game my intuition does not tell me that tilting the controller in certain ways and pressing buttons will have varied actions for every single weapon and that it is up to me to figure out how to use these actions together in a way to fight effectively. This game uses practically every button on the wiimote, buttons that should not even be used in that configuration. It is a game with lots and lots and lots of buttons and that does not translate well to a wiimote at all.

Agnates said:

Really? A controller with tilt sensors doesn't hint that tilts will have an effect to the gameplay?

How many wii games have you tilt the controler to the side and then press the button as a totally separate move. Name me ONE.
