I suspect it will be a 2008 release... AFAIK the Wii is getting umbrella chronicles (a co-op "on rails" shooter) This holiday but there aren't any other RE games planned.

Looking at that list above it's probably a good thing RE wont be coming out this holiday, that list is crowded as it is.

most likely E3 will reveal all...

I'm really waiting for RE5 and DMC4 from Capcom... the upcoming Street Fighter HD and Puzzle Fighter HD remixes coming to the XBLA will be frigging sweet too.

I should note that the list I posted isn't even complete... I only listed the big name titles, there are a ton of other games coming out too... I also skipped over all the sports games, and other stuff.

Lost Odyssey

do we have any idea how accurate that one is? i personally can't wait to play this one. i'm more excited about lost odyssey then blue dragon. unfortunately, its been on gamestop/eb's web page with a temporary date since the system came out

on a side note, it sounds like i'm going to be locking myself in my room for a few months, as there are at least 10 must play games on that list coming out in such a short time span.

For all intents and purposes the accuracy on that list is absolute 0.

I completely agree that LO is much more interesting looking than BD.
I'd wait for some E3 data to start rolling out because I'm sure we'll get more concrete info this whole list could change next week.

FWIW I got the dates from Eb games and cross referenced with Team Xbox

Hearsay. I'd like something a little more tangible then pure speculation. Until I see it on the shelf for the 360 I'm not wasting my time with internet rumors.

The 360 and PC version have been removed from Ubisoft's release list and they are only confirming the PS3 release.

Ubisoft yanks Haze 360, PC from release list

Didn't we play this game already? After unleashing yesterday's avalanche of release dates and promptly crushing the month of November in the process, Ubisoft has removed any date and mention of the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Haze from the list. Speaking to an Ubisoft UK representative, Joystiq was told that the mysterious disappearance could be attributed to the PlayStation 3 being "the only confirmed platform for Haze." Oh dear, it's Assassin's Creed all over again.

Just last month, Ubisoft described the politically charged shooter as "leading on PS3," noting that "no exclusivity for any platform has been officially announced." Despite Free Radical's director, Steve Ellis, stating that the developer's chief challenge was "designing a solution that will work well across the platforms," Haze was theorized to be at the very least, a timed PS3 exclusive. The week-long release gap between the PS3's Haze and other versions shown on Ubisoft's initial schedule rendered such a conclusion comical, but not untruthful. What of the vanishing Xbox 360 and PC versions then?

When we asked directly whether Haze was a PS3 exclusive or not, Ubisoft simply reiterated that the system was "the only confirmed platform." It's the same line we kept hearing when Ubisoft was dodging questions about the exclusivity haze surrounding Assassin's Creed -- a game which started out on "PlayStation 3 and at this time, no other platform has been confirmed." Ubisoft later admitted a PC version would "indeed see the light some day" (the same day, actually) and then finally confirmed an Xbox 360 version to an unsurprised audience.

Then why even bother with the rumor that it's PS3 exclusive?

it's not official that it's exclusive, and it's not official that it's not exclusive. So why comment either way until you see it on store shelves. Yes it is definitely coming to PS3... it MIGHT also come to 360, and both Team Xbox and EB games seem to think that it is.
