Cross game chat and easier friend spotting and inviting cross game would perfect an already great online setup, it's just MS's Live service has these two edges, and they do make a big difference when hooking up with mates online.....especially the cross game invites and putting a game straight in and being able to join a friends game from the xmb, without having to go into the game and have to contend with each individual games screw around methods of doing so.

Who would blame Insomniac...After Sony failed to help properly promote the last Ratchet, given Insomniacs loyalty and admiration to Sony...and Sony don't give them a helping hand when there last potential blockbuster launches....in fact, Sony actually promoted the hell out of another game or two that launched at the same time. It's a shame that Sony are unable to keep another stellar developer, but given todays climate and Sony's stance on paying for exclusitivity. Plus as a PS3, 360 and W...

I already know what this is as I'm an industry insider. The big news is that the MP part of Halo Reach is going to be released on PS3 as an online game only. So while the single player and multiplayer portion of the game come exclusive to 360....the PS3 is getting the online portion of the game as a standalone game. This will be Bungie's introduction to PS3 fans and owners, and the start of there multiplatform endeavors.

As long as its a good port and doesn't suffer the way other 360 leads have, then the level of Sony-fanboyism on this is out of control. Plenty of games that were lead on 360 and ported to PS3 have turned out just fine. With the exception of Bayonetta, mostly every multiplat released recently, regardless of lead platform, have turned out equal. The Club would be a good example, as it was actually made by Bizarre, and both PS3 and 360 versions were basically identical.

Sweet...Bring on a merger with these IW guys and Free Radical guys, and give us Haze 2.

Gabe Newell the attrocious fat bastard can keep programming for pc and 360 only. I loved Orange Box and bought it on 360 (as was better version). I then bought Left 4 Dead 1, but found it to be 1/4 of a full game for a full 100% price tag.

I think they tend to milk consumers, and release a real deal game once in a blue moon. Half Life 2 was awesome, and The Orange Box was excellent value for money, but these little half games they release in between are major milkage. Mu...

Could happen. And Eiffel, Insomniac could go multiplat at any time too. You would have to be a fool to think that Bungie doing a new multiplat ip would alienate there current fanbase....Yes, the FANBOYS would be butt hurt, but rational gamers realize that Bungie probably want as many gamers as possible to experience there masterpieces.

They are artists and creative people after all, and most creative people want as many people as possible to experience there work, while the ...

Just bring out cross game chat already, and a system that allows me to join friends games from the xmb bar. Too many games have too many different ways to try getting into friends games, and some games system either doesn't work, or doesn't exist.

Those 2 things would be perfect for me. I don't care for custom music in games, or too much of the other garbage....just these two features would make it better than Live.

Also Sony, start giving away headsets with a...

I really wish they would take this series back to it's linear routes. I'm not for open world Burnout. I would love to see both Burnout and SSX new versions that harked back to there humble beginnings. SSX1 & Tricky had the best track designs of any racing/extreme sport game to date, they were awesome, yet EA have turned both there own original IP (in SSX) and Criterions game into open world type affairs.

Let the next need 4 speed go for open world structure, and after y...

I wanna see Activision take a big hit. I hope EA can manage to get Medal Of Honor up to COD online standard, then it's just a matter of making a MW2 single player beater, which once 60fps and smooth controls are in place shouldn't be that hard, as MW2's single player was way over rated, and way under length.

Everyone used to hate EA solely as the milkers of the industry, but they have at least always funded some top notch new ip's with there sequels, like SSX, Mirror's Edge, D...

I would buy a Dreamcast 2, if it were to ever happen. I would also believe in The Bible and God if Jesus was making a 2nd coming.

Unfortunately both are fairy tales, that people still like to believe.

I'd also like to say that Capcom seem to fly under the radar, while EA and Activision take the hits for milkage, when Capcom are one of the worst offenders.

They get praise for SFIV, which is essentially every other sf's 20 yr old stale gameplay, with shinier 3d graphics, then comes the Super ed. 10 months later that will do nothing but add a couple of the worse characters of old.

They charge a doozie for d/l content.

And release sub par games li...

Bye bye all those PS3 sales in Japan Capcom.

Yeh, I hope Castlevania is as good as early glimpses promise. It has failed to make the 3d transition, as all attempts have been lacklustre...but seeing how Kojima is involved in the process of this one, it may have a chance of being good.

They really need to broaden though. Kojima wants to make a fps badly I think, and seeing as the rabid MGS weirdo fanboys would rather him die (and make silly death threats) than move onto another series or genre, it seems he is contemplating...

I agree with this score. The game pretty much feels like a solid attempt at a God Of War-esque game, but is several rungs down the quality ladder in every department from the benchmark GOW series.

I played the demo, and while fun, it looked like a hybrid game stuck between last gen and this gen graphics. Even when I put my PS2 version of GOW2 on to play through some more, it just feels better, animation look better, the game is faster and more fluid feeling. GOW3 will bury ...

The game deserves 8-9's across the board IMO. All these clowns like IGN just have to take a step back and realize that this game ain't MW2, and ain't trying to be.

I got up to level that enables 256 player games, and 1st 5 mins felt over whelming, then after that it all clicked, and I was just amazed at the scale of the battles and the size of the maps.

I have the game on import from Playasia (as doesn't come out till 14 in Aus. and will be $90-100). I liked...

I swapped disks on PS1 over 10 years ago on the cd based machine. I have 360 and PS3, and no matter what way 360 fanboys cut it, it is bad. 360 fanboys were bashing Bayonetta for fractionally longer load times on PS3, whereas this 3 disk crap has your game time getting interrupted, and forces you to further yourself from the immersion of the game, to get up and change out disks.

They should have committed to either HDDVD or Blu Ray, as much sh1t that is put on Sony, they have...

I hope it's great. Who cares if it went multiplat. COD series is multiplat and it does not hurt there quality or appeal.

And even though Dantes Inferno really wasn't impressive for me at all, and felt like a poor mans GOW, many people were impressed by the demo. So if this game can be of a similar quality compared to Gears (as Dante compared to GOW) then it has a good chance of selling. In the vids I saw the game looked quite good, so hopefully a demo in the not too distant...

There both neck and neck...and arguing over 2nd place is arguing to be the 1st or 2nd best loser. Wii has won the war this gen. I own PS3 and 360, and my little boy has a Wii (so I guess I have all three).

I only play my PS3 and 360, as the Wii's kiddie casual flavor only caters for a quick hit.....Unfortunately that formula has worked to sell to the masses of casuals and Nintendo diehards. Good on Nintendo for being smart enough to pull this off. It just scares me, where a...
