Official XBOX 360 Thread: Tekken 6 on 360!

[nnarum]

Yesterday was a sad day... I sold all of my HD DVD's except Planet Earth... Going to fund my Blu-ray collection... Not right away though. I'm waitingfor prices to come down. Damn I wanted HD DVD to win too... I think it's better than Blu-ray, the best feature was the DVD on the other side of some. Youcould easily borrow your movie out to friends and family.

BTW, Bestbuy still hasn't sent my $50 HD DVD card

[h2]Ancient picture possible first glimpse into Halo 3's Purple Reign[/h2]

Plugging Halo 3 Purple Reign into your favorite search engine will link you to almost every major message board ignited by the discovery of an image used in a NY Times article from October 2007. Halo fanatics are adamant that the image (above) is the first real look at the upcoming Halo 3 map, Purple Reign.

Based on the description from Bungie on the recently delayed map this image could be a section from Purple Reign. Skeptical message board users claim the image could be a stock photo from Bungie's Halo 2 Midship days, pre-destruction photos of the Cortana level or even shots from the High Charity section of Halo 2's campaign mode. One commenter is sure he heard former community lead Frank O'Connor and Luke Smith talk about this image claiming it wasn't the new map but we couldn't find a source to validate that point.

Be it Purple Reign or not one thing is certain, gamers are still itching for more Halo action. The official description of Purple Reign, which adds weight to this image being true, after the jump.
New maps already?

[h2]First glimpse of the Rock Band Stage Kit[/h2]

If you recall, this past February a new (and still unannounced) Rock Band peripheral called the Stage Kit was spotted over on Gamestop's website. Back then, we were only given images of what the light and smoke peripheral's box looked like, but it was enough to warrant Stage Kit / WALL•E / police spot light comparisons. Now, Gamestop has since updated their Stage Kit pre-order page with a new picture of the peripherals including what looks to be a 360 controller / strobe light hybrid. Gamestop also pegged the (GASP!) $100 peripheral for an August 15th release, so gather what info you can from that.

Guitar Hero > Rock Band IMO.

Don't count on Call of Duty 4 style XP or perks, Cliff says they will not be adding these types of character building elements to the Gears universe.

Oh man, one thing I was really hoping they would add in GoW2.

Rumour: Killer Instinct 3 Heading To Xbox 360?

27/05/2008 | 13:09

DC R1D3R, 27/05/2008 - The latest rumour to hit the interweb (and the latest edition of EGM magazine) speculates that the folks over at Rare HQ, are now secretly working on a sequel to their combo-breaking beat-em up, Killer Instinct 3. The first Killer Instinct hit arcades around the globe in the early 90's and gained quite a cult following due to it's ground breaking visuals, brutality and the infamous "Ultra Combo". Killer Instinct 2 released a few years later and despite not being as popular as the first, was an awesome fighter to play none the less. With over a decade since the last iteration, Killer Instinct 3 would be a very welcome addition to the series and although these are just rumours for now, let's hope Rare come up with the goods! I also found this image on eurogamer.pt:

This could be big...unless the big N knocks it down like GoldenEye...

 

[j steezzz]

Awesome if true!! my 2 characters were orchid and the chief.. forgot his name, but i mastered those 2 in KI 1

[h2]Rare at work on Killer Instinct 3? Nope![/h2]

Filed under: Fan stuff, Rumors
This rumor has been circulating the web for years now, and from the looks of things Rare actually wants it to be that way. Coming to us via Joystiq and beginning life over at the Quartermann rumors section of 1up, the latest incarnation of the rumor holds that Rare is a working on Killer Instinct 3D: Death! Destruction! Doom! in addition to Banjo and Viva. There are other details in the Quartermann article, but they don't matter much, considering that the source of his rumor seems to be a poster hung on the wall of Rare HQ (pictured above) which actually uses old Killer Instinct art, basically proving that Rare put it there to mess with us. Besides, what kind of subtitle is Death! Destruction! Doom! anyway? That's sillier than what MDK supposedly stands for!

So what have we learned? Quartermann's rumors are often suspect, Rare has a strange (but awesome) sense of humor in messing with the press, and we quite likely won't ever, EVER, see Killer Instinct 3.
Not to be a party pooper, but... I don't think we'll ever see it. Nintendo will try to pull a Goldeneye...

Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, and Blue Dragon are pretty good.

I disagree. Thank GOD they didn't add this to Gears. It would really change the whole dynamic of the game. If I want perks, I'll go to COD 4.

Killer Instinct 3? I wouldn't mind that, but I would rather see Killer Instinct 1 (the arcade version) on Xbox Live Arcade.
