With hundreds of development companies with many developers per company, Sony doesn't have enough first party devs to go around and help them. On top of this, not a single dev knows every single in and out of the system and the development process. Making a game is a team effort. Takes a whole company/ team. Most of the time, losing one person on the team doesn't hurt the team at all.

For example, You could take one programmer from ND and give him to EA. Do you think...

Going with the exam idea, you would need to alter it some. The pencil you write with is heavier and more difficult to manage and the paper you are using is more delicate. The heavier pencil allows someone with the skill to create much more elaborate and detailed pictures but for most, their first few goes at using it come out sloppy. The paper takes patience to use because if you rub it the wrong way it rips but someone who knows what they are doing with it can create works of art. Now, if So...

In the books, most recent collection of short stories, they have stories of events after 3 and while not all the elites have banned with the Arbiter the covenant is dead as a group. The war is over. Not to say that skirmishes aren't still present. Possibly go back to pre-covenant battles where outer colonies are fighting for their independence. Imagine these groups now cooperating with some of the covenant.

Now imagine MC having to fight against these people, maybe choos...

The re release of the Fall of Reach book has changes in it that explain any story holes from the game. That's what happens with stuff that is cannon. Sometimes it is updated and/or changed.

Why would I want to pay for updates when I get them for free from the same company on the same console? I already pay for one online service. I'm not paying for another.

Video doesn't show the guy getting 20k points. Also while it will get you a lot of points, the campaign score points decline the longer you go so it should not net you as much as this guy claims. Also, he got a commendation to help boost his points. Not sure how often that will happen while doing this.

Gears 2 is getting it too. With next title update.

Bungie always takes the time to stuff their games with these kind of secrets. Reach is awesome!

Dont do it yet as GOW2 may still get dedicated server support shortly.

Adding Blue ray this late in the game would be stupid. MS would split their market. It would be like a new console without any hardware improvements. It would fail as hard as the PSP GO. If they ever use BlueRay, it won't be till the next gen console.

Don't think he was saying 360 was future proof. I don't think ANYONE would argue that ever. Only Sony has claimed a future proof console. Which they also did with the PS2 btw. I wouldn't expect anyone here to say they are still perfectly happy with the PS2 games being released still.

No, the PSPgo limited the games you could play as your previous library became trash. Also there were games coming on for the PSP that weren't also coming out as a DD. The PSP go was a barely supported experiment that failed as it should have. A better example of DD is Steam. Look at how well it's doing for your answer. DD is a viable market and will eventually take over as it has for Music. If not the next gen, then the one after that. I suspect we see a combo next gen where every ga...

LOL. Too stubborn? You realize MS already pays royalties for dvd which partly goes to Sony right? Also Sony pays royalties to MS when they install Windows on their computers that they sell. These are just the two major ones. I can promise you MS and Sony are already paying each other lots or royalties.

Now what MS is really prob trying to figure out is this.

They didn't go with BR when it came out cause they thought it was too early and wouldn't catch...

If they do go with digital download only, I expect them to do like steam does and predownload the game before launch. Games go gold for almost a month (sometimes more) before the release date. This time is used to print all the materials like disks, cases, manuals, etc etc. If it is just digital, you can begin installing the game before it comes out. The day it comes out, you download a patch and it unlocks the files to play.

While this doesn't solve the no broadband issu...

Just waiting for next article stating hackers have re-enabled 3rd party devices. lol

Considering Gears 3 is going to have dedicated servers like SOME of the PS3 games, I don't think your argument holds true here.

It's a handheld. Why would you need 720 or 1080p? You wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Actually major companies like Sony hire "hacker" groups all the time to test out the limits of their security. Once breached (if breached) they collect the information and use it to further strengthen their security. Hackers can be very useful.

Also, hacks/mods/workarounds are how some of the standard features we have now came to be. Iphone wouldn't have wallpapers if it weren't for hackers.

It's because most companies expect to launch their "ME-TOO" mmo game and garner profits similar to that of World of Warcraft. What most developers have learned is that Most people only have time for one mmo and almost all of those people are already playing an existing mmo.
Now, I'm not saying don't bother. Far from it. I'm saying, don't release a game that competes with an already existing game that is 10 mil strong and has 5 years worth of content with...
