They have already done the work to make the game Multi plat. If Sony wanted to publish it they would have to remburse Activision for the development cost, which includes the other platforms the game was built for. Like someone said earlier they wouldn't make up the loss if they released it for one platform. What Sony could do is find a publisher for this game (EA, Activision, Ubisoft) and then if the game is really good and sells well then they can buy the studio from Activision and have them...
I think your on to something. they did a Warriors game so I think we can start naming cult action classics of the 70s and 80s and hit one plus the movie would probably be owned by Sony pictures.
Escape from NY?
Mad Max?
Reading a couple of top ten list for the fall this game is flying right under the radar. It is certainly on my list of must haves for the holiday. This game looks beautiful
Does anyone know when this is going to be released?
Naughty dog is owned by sony. Insomniac and sucker punch are independents but I believe they have exclusive contracts with Sony.
The load times are quite longer than I thought for one. I was only able to play Team Fortress 2 once in about 30 trys. The lag was so bad that I would literly see an enemy then start shooting and two seconds later he was standing in front of me blowing me away. that was my only problem with the game really. I think if they include an install like they do for alot of third party games it will fix the problem. I have played COD4, Madden and other games online alot and never had any problems wit...
I don't see what this guy it getting at, I read more than one review for a game before I buy it. Like the PS3 orange box. The IGN review didn't make it seem like the slow load times where a big deal but GT reported it exactly right and also mentioned how god awful Team Fortress was, that it was barely playable. They gave it like a 7.5. I see that fans of games are often really hard on the reviewers when they rate games so low (See Lair), and if a reviewer gives a game less than an 8 which alo...
Damn with all those studios, Sony really does have a bunch of stuff they haven't shown yet!
@ Deviant
No Naughty was bought by Sony, Insomniac stayed independent, and Ready at dawn broke off from Insomniac to make PSP games (God of War). You may be right about Ninja Theory. Who are the ones that Made Heavenly Sword? it was Ninja Something I thought?
There is obviously some Japan studios that I am not thinking of. In fact I think Siren Was done by Sony 'Jap...
I was looking forward to this game as well but when you look at the release schedule if your the publisher your going up against, LBP, Gears 2, Resistance 2, Fallout 3, Farcry 2, Banjo, Star Wars Unleashed, Dead Space, Mortal Vs Dc, MotorStorm 2 Fable 2, Too Human Bioshock, Prince of Persia, the list is almost endless. That is a hellava lot of competition for GB. I am sorry if GB was #1 on your list but look at that list I just posted and tell me Ghostbusters Trumps all of that?
If you...
Well a good fanboy dream would be for Sony to buy the studio that is making the game forgive me the name escapes me, Publish it for multiplat and make money from game sales and also gather up another 1st party studio.
How many studios does sony have?
Naughty Dog
Insomniac -- Independent but Sony exclusive
Bend
Zipper
Factor 5
Ninja Theory
ICO-- same as Insomniac right?
London
Santa Monica
Media Molocule
<...
Just what we need another delayed game. With a crowded Fall schedule It may be best to delay it anyhow.
And please don't let me hear somebody say Sony should publish it and make it exclusive. I love Sony but it wouldn't make any sence with all the development money spent to make it Multi-Plat
MS have to come out first what are they just going to keep extending their warrenty. It is cheaper in the long run to just build a more relible console with a Blue ray drive. probably with a reg controller and motion and camera.
Graphics just can't get much better folks the next gen will see further integration, meaning HD drives, 250-500 gigs memory standard for HD downloads, 2g-10g ram and more features like Cameras and motion controls in the box. Graphics will be a little better bu...
I think what is very important to realize the HDTV component in all this. Last I checked there is only about 25% penetration in the US. So it makes more sence to buy the wii if you don't have an HD TV. When HD becomes more of the standard then you will see the real battle between PS3 and 360. wii will be the console in the kids bedroom on the 20 inch standard tv with 5 party games.
Personally I have my must buy list for the fall which includes 15 games before X-mas and 0 are f...
David Jaffe is the man, but needs a few more titles, same for Ted Price and I know I will get smacked for saying it...Gulp.. Cliffy B. Sorry Gears is just a fantastic game/now franchise, plus I think he is behind the Unreal series as well.
But my fanboy stuff aside as much as he sucks at playing Wii Music, Miyamoto (however it is spelled) is number one. I mean come on DK, Mario, zelda, metroid. I mean the only thing that is missing is frickin Pac-Man from that list. I know Koj...
I enjoy the games on the 360 but.. 50 gigs is always going to be bigger than 9. Seeing the length of most 360 games and the fact that most 360s warranty will expire in 2 years it is easy to see that MS will have to come out with a new console, which means they will leave the battle to early to win. If they don't then that means most of their hardware sales in 2 years will be replacements and attach rates will magically drop.
and I don't have the game yet but this is a true problem. I found this on Youtube.
they should enforce for all M games. GTA4 is really a game that needs to be enforced. I don't mind playing COD4 and hearing those few pubessant voices through my headset but if I hear the same thing on GTA4 I may just be livid.
It sounds alot like a third person COD4 game. I love the perks system and I think we will start to see it as an after thought on multi-players from now on. Kinda like the auto heal feature.
Shinobi for PS2, I don't know anyone that beat that if you did you are a god.
The game to my understanding isn't canned it is still in development it just doesn't have a publisher. You are right PS3 is the lead platform. Believe me I would like nothing more than for Sony to gain another exclusive, but I think they would have jumped at the chance to publish this if it made finacial sence. Which leads me to believe that they have to pick up the bill on activision's already spent production cost. And with the voice talent and with Ramis writing the script I am sure it wou...
