So I'm wondering what gets moved forward to escape the black hole of sales that is Halo 3.  There is no way that MS is releasing Blue Dragon or Mass Effect anywhere near that monster.  If Blue Dragon is set for August, does Mass Effect get pulled forward to July?  Or does it slip to November?  Lost Odyssey was set for December, but maybe that slips to 08. 

The Fall release schedule is getting really crowded when you factor in Half-Life 2, GTA IV, BioShock, Assasins Creed, Mercenaries 2, etc.  There are going to be a couple of these games fall through the cracks, and it won't be GTA or Halo.  I pray it's not Blue Dragon or Mass Effect either.

I agree that if you can't shoot the dog, then why bother.  I've wanted revenge against that mut for 20 years.

I'm torn because Sega has some franchises that are top notch, but the quality has been horrible lately.  The managment of that company has been atrocious since before the Saturn launched. 

Still it might be hard for me to resist console exclusive versions of JSRF, Shining Force 4, Phantasy Star 5, Virtua Fighter 6, Panzer Dragoon Saga 2, Streets of Rage 4, a good Sonic game, etc.  Problem is most of the talent behind these series is gone.

I'm fairly impressed.  The maps looks nice.  The new Spartan laser looks really stinkin powerful.  And I like the new vehicle.

I'm excited for the game.  Hope I can still get into the beta.

Assuming nothing goes horribly wrong in the final version of the game, I've made my selection amongst next-gen racers.

Same here. We'll definitely have to get a Gamespot/OGU thing going once the game hits.

Sounds good.  We should start a thread at the OGU when the game launches and have a race night.

We're getting not one, but three new Star Ocean games, and that's fine with me. I thought tri-Ace was finished with Star Ocean.King9999

I thought it was one new Star Ocean game and two remakes of the first two games.

Also Dissidia looks to be some sort of fighting game similar to Ergheiz.

I plan to download it tonight before playing Halo.  Sucks to hear that the graphics aren't as impressive as we thought they would be.  This is still a must buy for me even before I play the demo.
