I'm calling Assasin's Creed 3. It's the French mag so Ubisoft would tie in. I cant see a Kojima game being revealed by PS France.
I know DICE have a bias towards PC but if EA have any hope of catching COD it's going to be on console; if they skimp on the console version then they might as well hand Acti the FPS crown.
Edit: some one disagreeing with fact; well we'll see if B3 sells 15m+ copies on PC.
Shenmue was actually on the Dreamcast; Pt2 was released on the Xbox later but it flopped badly. If Sega want the third to sell it's obviously going to have to appear on a console in Japan; so common sense says it'll be multi.
What's up with all the disagrees. Edge gave U2 a 9/10. There's an ace search site called Google that you guys should check out.
No they didnt.
These guys are just trying to get their games high on the search sites by mentioning their games with popular ones; this happens all the time with CoD.
I wish sime devs would stop talking about others' games and focus on making their average games better.
A beta code comes with KZ3.
"I don't pick up a handheld so I can play the same damn games I already do on my consoles."
"Nintendo's incredibly popular first party titles (Zelda, Mario, Pokemon) also play a factor here."
Strong contradiction.
Cant wait to see what this guy is working on. Also i hear that ROckstar are working on the NGP. I think this could be San Andreas Stories-the one they still havent released. If so then NGP has Kojima, GTA and CoD - what an answer to the 3DS.
"if provide information on how to do it rather than any actual code or keys then i can do as i please without legal repercussion. they could sue me all they want, but their case wouldnt hold much water"
The crux of Sony's case is based on economic damage (a technical legal term); you can be sure that the hackers' conduct has cause Sony material loss; this is what they are suing for; if you tell people how to bypass a security system you might as well give ...
@ bodybombs
You're right it's not illegal, but this isnt criminal law, its civil law (big difference). According to IP and trade secrets law you cant distribute codes/keys without the permission of the owner, in this case Sony. Causing economic damage is a wrong in civil law which entitles the wronged party to sue the wrongdoer.

I'm surprised the judge even had to raise issues of jurisdiction; choice-of-law and jurisdiction clauses are meant to do away with these issues and Sony has chosen CA as their jurisdiction in contracts/term of service.
All companies do this; take a look at your car insurance policy for instance; mine says th policy is subject to English law (even though i'm in Scotland) and that any disputes must be tried in an English court; i had no choice in the matter.
@ xCaptainAmazing
This isn't about going to prison; it's about Sony trying to stop these guys recklessly (or intentionally) promoting piracy. All hacking is bad for people other than pirates.
Those hackers that are paid by companies to hack their own products arent really "hacking" in the true sense; it's more a method of quality control; they're made to sign very strict contracts for doing this but also paid a lot of money.
It's not so much a matter of straight copyright law; rather it's based on statutes which exist in the US. Sony are trying to bring their keys/codes within the various definitions used in these statutes.
Whether they can or not we'll have to see. But the hackers better get some good lawyers - Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton (Sony's advisers) are heavyweights in IP litigation.
I would have to disagree that they stand for something important; the whole reason IP law exists is to protect intelluctual and financial investment (by companies and people); without them there would be no incentive to innovate since everyone would just copy/exploit the idea.
If you study computer science then you're exactly the type of person that these laws are designed to protect; if you come up with a genius program/software i'm pretty sure you'd want the l...
"Nobody at least acknowledges how smart you have to be to hack something."
I dont see why we should; it's like bankers creating complex financial instruments to make money for banks (and huge bonuses for themselves) but then bringing the world economy to its knees - both these groups of people are very clever but that doesnt mean we should condone their actions.
"Hackers are like the modern day Robin Hood"

It would've looked better if the "h" was the right way around.
You have to remember the difference between IP law and general law; the engine is covered by the latter whereas Sony will be relying on the former and under the US Code unauthorised access of computer info is illegal whether profit or not is involved. It is up to Sony to convince the court that their case comes within the wording of the section.
When you switch your PS3 on you agree to the terms of use but no one ever reads these.Google: "SYSTEM SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEM...
"Are you telling me that I cannot "use and dispose" of a PS3?"
No, I'm telling you that that is the definition of ownership.
The car analogy is also way off; you are not interfering with/damaging GM's economic interests by removing the brakes; hacking into a console and posting it online so that others can copy pirate games is compltetly different which is one of the reasons IP law had to be developed - to account for the uniqu...
Some misplaced sense of justice; these guys obviously havent read the court reports - all i hear is "hacking isnt illegal" and so on. But Sony arent suing that loser for hacking, theyre suing him for distributing codes thereby recklessy facilitating piracy.
They should get some real jobs programming software and see how they feel when some hacker steals one of their "brillaint" software ideas - they'd turn their argument around then.
