@darthv72: "LBP was pitched to MS and turned down due to user created content. "
got a source or 2 to back that up? cause that makes no sense.
Halo, the biggest exclusive game of this generation, encourages and promotes user created content through Forge and creating your own game modes.
Forza, one of microsofts other biggest franchises, encourages and promotes user created content by having an in-game marketplace for users to sell ...
i had to reply to this since its somehow got more agrees than disagrees.
No, it wouldnt. Bungie are 100% independant. they currently have a PUBLISHING deal with Activision, meaning that activision are publishing their new IP for 10 years. Activision do not in any way, shape or form OWN any part of Bungie.
on the topic: lol at people saying that COD is a fad and will die out lol. the top 5 selling games for the PS3 is a "whos who" of COD. it doesnt d...
The original PS3 was ugly. The slim is butt ugly. This takes the cake in the ugly stakes though lol.
Do Sony not understand the word "slim"? The first slim was actually BIGGER in one dimension than the original, and this doesn't look to be any significant amount smaller either.
2 complete hardware revisions within 6 years, that's unheard of. Try getting it right the first time next gen. Like I said with the slim, I'm glad I don't hav...
lol @ Dante112, again with the "only 60k less than the 360".
you say that like the 360 selling a whopping 35% more than the PS3 in a month in the biggest video game market in the world is water off a ducks back to sony lol. thats ANOTHER 60k in front that the 360 is, to add to the 10+ million lead in the US that it already has.
60k is 60k - its not to be scoffed at. you can bet your arse that sony would love to have "only" another 60k sale...
well that confirms its not coming to 360 or PS3 sadly, as theyre not getting unreal engine 4.
actually, epic confirmed at comic-con that its PC exclusive now, though they left the door open saying that PC is the games "primary platform".

ive spent probably $2k on rock band when i go back and add it all up hahaha.
money well spent though, as that has given me (and my mates at parties etc) hundreds and hundreds of hours of entertainment
wow, cant believe people are disagreeing with PopRocks359.
the wii U is next gen, fact. "next gen" isnt a term relative to power or graphical capabilities - its simply used to describe what generation of video game consoles that a certain console came out in. the PS1/N64 was a generation. the next generation was PS2/Gamecube/Xbox/DC. the next gen was 360/PS3/wii. the next gen is, so far, *drum roll* the wii u!
power doesnt come into it, neither do g...
"The 360 only sold 60-69k more units lol."
*only* sold 60-69k more?!
Dante112, why do you keep saying that as if its a bad thing for microsoft and a good thing for sony? 60-70k is a hell of a lot of console sales in a single month. when the PS3 sold 195k, 70k is 35% of sonys entire sales for the month. getting outsold by your competitor by 35% isnt good news for sony.
the fact is that in the video game world, the US makes up ~50% of...
the PS1 and PS2 disk read errors are the worst hardware manufacturing faults by a country mile. they make the RROD and YLOD look like minor faults.
every single PS1 manufactured for at least the first 18 months was guaranteed to die if you even played it a few hours a week. for what you can only assume would be cost cutting measures, sony made the laser eye rail out of plastic. for those that dont know what it is, its the rail that the laser eye moves backwards and forwards a...
lol at people justifying the HORRIBLE installs in MGS4.
that was the single biggest clusterf#$k in game installs in history. want to replay a chapter? tough luck, gotta reinstall that chapter for 10 minutes. then wanna go back to where you were in the next chapter? gonna have to reinstall that chapter for another 10 minutes. it was absolutely terrible, and how it got released like that is beyond me.
all in all, this is about 4 years too late. anyone who want...
youre kidding, right?
i dont understand why people are getting their panties in such a twist over this? who gives a $hit if there are no female playable characters? is this just another one of those feminist things that they bitch about just because they can?
why does there HAVE to be a female marine?
why is this stupid? how does Microsoft releasing this stop you from playing any of the 600+ 360 games available? the people that made this wouldnt have been working on the next big AAA exclusive new IP.
you "xbox has no games" idiots just keep getting dumber. your non-existant xbox hasnt been collecting dust.
lol at people not getting it.
These 'drawings' are designs that someone drew up using the details that were outlined in the patent for the new CECH-4000 model PS3. you know, that document that had all of the dimensions etc of the new "super slim" PS3? all theyve done is take that document and render the specifications in a 3D-ish model so you can see what the CECH-4000 model will look like.
sure the PS3 has more games, but theyre all previously released games. the 360s are all new. on that alone, most objective people would give the win to the 360.
"That's exactly it. Tablet it'd be okay, but a desktop needs a OS with, well, a DESKTOP."
good thing windows 8 has a desktop, just like windows 7 lol.
the metro interface is the start screen, nothing more. press the windows button and you go straight back to the regular old desktop.
how so?
Polyphony Digital have paid DLC for paint chips! single use paint chips! theyve actually given out very few free DLC items. the Toyota 86 is about it really.
how so?
Microsoft already have HUGE plans for the cloud, and they already have infrastructure built for it and being developed constantly.
Zunes instant 1080p streaming videos, complete with dynamic resolution to keep the feed going even when your connection speed drops? built with cloud gaming in mind, absolutely no doubt about it.
Skydrive? cloud.
Azure? cloud.
Xbox live has been being prepped for cloud gaming for years,...
omg cant spell IGNorant without IGN! 10/10 GOTY!!!
lol at all the "3D is the future people are just stupid" people in here.
was 3D the future last time it tried to be pushed on the public 10 years ago? how about the time before that? or the time before that? maybe, just maybe, people dont really care too much about it?
I saw avatar in 3D and Prometheus in 3D, and thought it was excellent, but it didnt make me want to go buy a 3D tv and have to put up with wearing glasses to watch a freaking movie. ...
