Vivendi Reveals E3 Lineup |
Listed in: Nintendo DS, PSP Tags: e3, industry news
Ó
Just a day after dropping "Universal" from its name, Vivendi Games is back in the headlines as it reveals its E3 games lineup. Vivendi is prepping up the debut of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon at next month's big trade show. While Crash Bandicoot will be exclusive to Nintendo DS, Spyro will breath fire on the Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, DS, and Game Boy Advance. Sorry folks, no PS3 and Revolution for now.The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning is a recap of the purple dragon's origin story. It will include flying levels as well as stronger focus on combat. Krome Studios will develop the game for the console and GBA versions, while the DS edition will be handled by Amaze Entertainment.
Bandicoot will debut on the DS with Crash Boom Bang! It features 40 mini games, wireless multiplayer, and a communication system that allows players conspire against each other midgame. This is Bandicoot's entry to the party-game genre. Players will also be able to bet on the outcome of the matches, earning points that can be traded in for 80 different game-altering items.
But wait, the Vivendi lineup doesn't stop there. Other games that will be feted at the Vivendi booth are as follows:
- PSP version of 50 Cent: Bulletproof
- Scarface
- Eragon
- PSP game based on the upcoming Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx film Miami Vice
- PC: World in Conflict, Caeser IV, Joint Task Force, Freestyle Street Basketball.

In most of Europe? DS is beating PSP.
And in March's NPD sales, which just came out, DS had two games in the top 25. They both sold over 100k (the first 15 games did). PSP had one title at #25.
1 PS2 KINGDOM HEARTS II Square Enix
2 360 T. CLANCYS GHOST RECON: ADVANCED WARFIGHTER Ubi Soft
3 360 ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION Take 2 Interactive
4 PS2 BLACK Electronic Arts
5 360 ELDER SCROLLS IV:OBLIVION CE Take 2 Interactive
6 360 FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 3 Electronic Arts
7 PS2 MLB '06: THE SHOW Sony
8 PS2 FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 3 Electronic Arts
9 XBX BLACK Electronic Arts
10 PS2 THE GODFATHER: THE GAME Electronic Arts
11 GCN SONIC RIDERS Sega
12 PS2 GUITAR HERO BUNDLE Red Octane
13 360 BURNOUT REVENGE Electronic Arts
14 NDS METROID PRIME: HUNTERS Nintendo
15 NDS SUPER PRINCESS PEACH Nintendo
16 360 THE OUTFIT THQ
17 360 CALL OF DUTY 2 Activision
18 XBX THE GODFATHER: THE GAME Electronic Arts
19 XBX FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 3 Electronic Arts
20 360 BLAZING ANGELS: SQUADRONS OF WWII Ubi Soft
21 PS2 24: THE GAME Take 2 Interactive
22 PS2 GOD OF WAR Sony
23 360 COLLEGE HOOPS 2K6 Take 2 Interactive
24 PS2 ONIMUSHA: DAWN OF DREAMS Capcom
25 PSP MLB '06: THE SHOW Sony
And that is by $$$. Keep in mind those two DS games are $35. PSP games are usually no less than $40.
Now here is the top 20 in terms of units sold:
1 Kingdom Hearts II PS2 Square Enix
2 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Xbox3 60 Ubisoft
3 Black PS2 Electronic Arts
4 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Xbox 360 2K Games
5 MLB '06: The Show PS2 SCEA
6 Fight Night Round 3 PS2 Electronic Arts
7 Black Xbox Electronic Arts
8 The Godfather PS2 Electronic Arts
9 Fight Night Round 3 Xbox 360 Electronic Arts
10 God of War PS2 SCEA
11 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Xbox 360 2K Games
12 Metroid Prime: Hunters DS Nintendo
13 Sonic Riders GC Sega
14 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PS2 Rockstar Games
15 Super Princess Peach DS Nintendo
16 The Godfather Xbox Electronic Arts
17 Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence PS2 Konami
18 Fight Night Round 3 Xbox Electronic Arts
19 Gran Turismo 4 PS2 SCEA
20 24: The Game PS2 2K Games
Of course I dunno 21-25, so MLB The Show for PSP could still be there. (It's probably 26-29 though.)
And now the March hardware sales numbers:
NDS 184K
PSP 186K
GBA 201K
Here is February's (no GBA numbers available):
DS = 150,000
PSP = 170,000

Me & My Katamari
Untold Legends 2
Metal Gear Acid 2
Daxter
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
Mega Man Powered Up
Persuit Force (late Feb)
Not a SINGLE one of them were in the top 25 for $$$ and they all cost $40 I believe (except Mega Man).
PLUS, the "price drop" happened where you could get PSP for $200. If PSP couldn't break away from DS in March, I'm sorry to say, it never will. ESPECIALLY with the DS Lite coming out in May. I'm fairly sure DS will be outselling PSP for the rest of the year at -least- thanks to the Lite.

And #1, your an absolute retard. The PSP games were already previously covered and their names even LINK to the pages they were covered on! Now if the links didn't just take people to a forbidden page they might actually be useful.

I demand only PS2, PSP, and PS3 titles from them. Or else I'll have to get out my ninja mask and cut off some executives' balls.

I heard lots of rumour about it
Ex:
The main director was fired after the first half year of process ,because he took off the souce code from GTA and put some bs stuff in there . Finally the game f|_|cK up so bad and he got fired completetly ! the whole company had to start over from a blank code !
I only have 1 screenshot of the Xbox version

Here's a question for you, do any PSP owners find it a little hard to find teh games that are 'just out' for the PSP? I usually end up finding them about a week after they're out in the big box retailers and the day of their release in teh smaller stores.
Maybe distribution is having an effect on sales? I know if I wasn't bound and determined to find Daxter and Worms: Open Warfare that first week they were out I would have given up. I had to go to three stores just to find them the day after they were out!

Crash hasn't been exclusive to Sony for some time, so get over it. As for the DS and its success, some people like to touch, but touch too much. Give me a PSP and EMU city...we need a functioning GBA emu, not news on what we dont have

It was very original back then and introduced us to some very cool innovative gameplay elements made possible by the 3d worlds and camera movement. (Jungle Rollers, Boulder Dash, Hog Wild, Road To Nowhere... anyone?)
... Damn, those were the fun times...
