magik Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Microsoft today announced that Koei and From Software have confirmed three of their titles for release on the Xbox 360 next Spring in Japan. Armored Core 4 had already been announced for Xbox 360, but has been missing in action recently with so much focus on the upcoming PS3 release on December 14. The other two titles, Fatal Inertia and BladeStorm, were both announced some time ago for the PS3, but have now been announced for the 360 too. There were murmurings of this happening around Tokyo Game Show, but many shrugged it off as a baseless rumour.With the higher budget requirements this generation, more and more small publishers are dropping their platform discrimination in favor of keeping their potential audience as large as possible. Will we ever see the big guns following suit? Wishful thinking, perhaps, but it can't be ruled out at this stage. 1up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFerIt Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Just one thing to add.. From Software have always been a huge xbox supporter. Whether it was the silent hits Otagi and Otagi 2, or Enchanted Arms.. Plus many many other games, they've definitely been one of the few Japanese developers who've given the Xbox series of consoles a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerhkjp Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think its Sony's strong arm tactics, combined with the "we're delaying the console for a year, can you wait around?" Koei had never gotten along with Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Teej Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I hope it's true! :o Konami has wanted to do this for a while, but nothing has ever come of it. Maybe Kojima finally broke down after the repeated asking? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
