Rumours have been flying fast and furious since 1UP's speculation on a number of podcasts that Epic Games had plans to extend the Gears of War franchise onto the PlayStation 3. Understandably, the comments made in the podcast created somewhat of a storm in a teacup, with many Xbox 360 fans rather unhappy with Epic's apparently lackadaisical approach to exclusivity.
However, Epic's Mark Rein recently contacted PSX Extreme to clarify the situation.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
I thought the rumour was about the game being the gears of war universe.
"New IP"
totally crap.....gears is under development microsft..there no way there will be on ps3...
noone said that geow will come to the ps3. the rumour was about a similar game. but who cares, i say: "killzowned"!
Just finish up UT.
Get UTIII out now!
I doubt they'd put a BRAND NEW PS3 EXCLUSIVE out...if it were set in the GOW universe. That's the DUMBEST thing I've ever heard. They just said it would be a GOW-like game. That probably means Third Person Shooter.
Then again, they could put GOW2 on the PS3. That'd be nice. You know, of course, that MS doesn't own it in the least bit. They helped produce the first one, but that doesn't mean Epic is signed on for anything. Even with the MS name on it...they could revamp it on the PS3...possibly with a good draw-distance, more enemies on screen, and less glitches. Yeah...like Oblivion. That was a NIIIIIIICE port! I love when developers care!

It's like GAP...without the polo.
Achira...I like that phrase!
"Killzowned!"
EDIT: Let's use that...
Sorry to confuse you.
Seriously though, you can't see GeOW2 on the PS3??? Why not? It's a great franchise and I can see it selling well on the 360...but NOT as well as the first one did. The second one will be competing with Halo 3, UTIII, Haze, and everything else! It was innovative at the time, but I don't know how long it will last amongst the gaming masses...who are hooked on Halo. I still haven't figured out why...but they are. PC gamers are STILL in talks of why Halo got so big. It's pretty much a mystery to the pre-xbox gaming community.
EDIT 2: Show me again...where it says a PUBLISHER owns the rights to ANY game??? Ubisoft published DMC3 and RE4 for the PC. They can't do SQUAT with those franchises though.
Where did you see that MS bought the rights to GeOW??? According CliffyB...in an interview...Midway owns the rights to the franchise. Midway, who owns Epic now. Did no one bother to look ANY of this up? You heard rumors LAST YEAR that MS purchased the GOW franchise. Not true.
