They didn't want to cede over creative control to a publisher, thats why they sort out funding so they could release their next game independently.
Sucks that they aren't what they used to be, but it isn't out of a lack of trying. So far this gen they made Kameo, Viva Pinata, Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark Zero outside of the Kinect games. They've worked on 5 different IP's this generation, thats more than most studios.
I'm just glad Microsoft didn't decide to shut them down after their fourth IP didn't sell like hot cakes, I'm pretty sure the people at Rare who still have jobs are glad they aren&...
Gearbox does it again.
With games already looking as good as Halo 4, Max Payne 3, Witcher 2, Crysis 3 and Uncharted 3, one can't help but get excited about the graphics next gen will bring.
Even if it isn't a giant leap, if all next gen games looked even marginally better than the above mentioned games and had better AI and improved immersion and gameplay then I cannot see myself being disappointed.
Man who on earth comes up with these game titles??
Gears of War didn't feel less magical with foul languaged beeped out. Again, I don't mind simultated violence because I know when I shoot at someone online, they aren't really dead. When I see a naked woman on God of War, its not an actual naked person. I don't like hearing foul language though and a mute option is always a nice option.
It's good to have options
Nudity in gaming - not real, pixels can't be naked.
Violence in gaming - again, not real, pixels don't feel pain.
Foul language in gaming - them words is pretty real.
Is it a crime to not want to have to cringe every 2 minutes because of all the f-bombs? Gears of War had a foul language bleeper, I can't understand why it's so ridiculous for other adult games to come with the option.
A jump button and a foul language mute option.
They just figured this out? Duh Sony.
Assassin's Creed and Gears of War started out as pc exclusives?

How'd you figure they are back in the black? They made yet another loss this quarter. That Reuters article hadn't factored in taxes and other fees yet which why they reported just the operational income. In the end they were still 115 million in the red.
They are expected to pull out of it however through more job cuts and building sales.
Ah jees get a room you two!
Wow. So much ado about nothing. Vita sub 6000 though. . .not good.
I will play this some day. . .I've heard good things.
As you can see from the games I listed, I have not played Journey.
@below: UC 2 was the first ps3 game I got because I'd heard so many things about it. I literally had had dreams about owning a ps3 and playing that game.
When I finally got to play it it fell way way below my expectations. In fact it kinda made me mad thinking I'd had such expectations of it.
Maybe I was a bit jaded but I found it predictable and found the characters a bit annoying (Sully and...
"Activision-Blizzard Q4 FY13: profits hit $4.86 billion, digital nets $1.54 billion" - this title is not the one on the headline and it is not factual.
Have people not learned the difference between revenue and profit yet? Could a contributor please report the headline so it is changed to something real.
You and me both brother. I cannot stand people wanting to push their agenda onto the rest of us. You like interactive movies, great for you, but don't try shove it down all our throats and complain the game industry needs to be more like you and make point and click games only.
You do you David Cage. I'll stick to my "childish" Rayman/Mario games and violent Bad Company 2
So excited! Bring it!
I've played 1 and 2 but not 3 yet, so this would be great for me. . .if I lived in the US and not South Africa.
