I AM NOT SAYING MS IS A SAINT!... not by any means... I AM NOT SAYING THAT MS DOESN'T NEED THE EU TO MAKE MONEY... that would be stupid... WHAT I AM SAYING IS: It is wrong to force a company to share their 'secrets' (code). Microsoft NEVER stopped people from buying RealPlayer... People didn't buy RealPlayer because it SUCKED. Period. But RealPlayer b!tched and moaned and the EU saw a chance to make some easy CASH for themselves off a 'BIG EVIL CORP'.
DO YOU GUYS EVEN KNOW WHAT...
The point is, they shouldn't have to give up their code, it's theirs. If they do then so should every software company in the world. Why punish them for making a good (well decent) media player simply because the other 'pay to use' ones suck balls (I'm looking at you RealPlayer)? They made that stupid media player free xp and guess what no one used it... so basically the EU wasted tax money and MS's money fighting for a stupid cause... Hurray communism! EU says "lets force everyone to sh...
I disagree, just to list a few good new IP's: BioShock, Gears of War, Uncharted, Mass Effect, Resistance, Too Human, Geometry Wars, Everyday Shooter, The Dishwasher... Ken is right, it's all about talent... unless you like boring sports games with $60 annual roster updates... but as far as the rest of the gaming world is concerned, talent is key.
Oh, and Fox is not part of Sony they simply helped back blu-ray... two totally different companies.
@nicholascage24 you are a total idiot. period. you should shut up when you dont know what you are talking about.
MSFT's Market Cap is 257.62B http://finance.yahoo.com/q/...
SONY's Market Cap is 46.92B http://finance.yahoo.com/q/...
which is bigger? microsoft is worth 5 times as much as sony is, they have ZERO debt and hav...
the site isnt sucky its the fanboys... stupid fanboys.
yeah you might but lots and lots more don't... people said the same thing about cd's "well i like to have the disk bla bla bla" and now look at everyone with thier fancy ipods and whatnots... DLC is already here... it's only a matter of time before its the #1 way to get your movies.
well you clearly dont know anything about the drm issue so i would stop talking about it if i were you. the content can still be used you simply have to sign on to xbox live to do so. while it is an issue if say your internet goes down, 90% of the time you wouldnt even notice it, since if you have DLC you most probably are signed on most of the time. i know this becuase i have this same "problem" and it is in no way near as big as the hardware issue. so please piss off.
ms already own all the rights to killer instinct... nothing to work out with nintendo there. ki3 will be a new game. goldeneye is a remake hence the problem with nintendo.
they have been working on it for quite some time. i saw an interview of cliffyb with him saying how nice it is now that when people ask him "hey what you working on?" he can say "well gears 2" instead of "umm... nothing.. *wink* *wink*"
both not comming out this year... sure you get that $50 gt5 demo but not a full game...
i hope that wasnt directed at me because i own the original metal gear for my NES... you are lying to yourself if you think MG as a series is an online game... but whatever fanboys are dumb...
that was funny... not. ignore.
how do you even know that these tools are any good? all you people make me laugh... i mean there are three whole games listed that used this crap and one of them (dirt) probably didn't even really use it since codemasters already stated many times before that they used their own neon engine for that game so... whatever if it WAS all the great companies like EA and Valve i'm sure would have already jumped on this long ago (how long has dirt been out now) in order to avoid the massive quality g...
still all facts... so whats your point?
the guy that leads take-two got his job there last year... hardly a lifetime...
