**SPOILERS**I'm a big Gears fan but I hated a couple of the story arcs in Gears 2, in particularly the suicide of a new main character and the execution of Doms wife by Dom.
Sure, they wanted to pull some heart strings but it was uncalled for. I'm a lot older than most around here and it bothered me. Most that play this game are younger and I don't see the point of a video game bringing some of the more ugly parts of reality into the mix. Mercy killin...

The difference is minimal but I'm glad they are releasing this so hopefully the ( PC ) pixel counters will stop crying everyday about DX11.
Crysis looks fantastic to me and while NO game is perfect, it was a great pleasure to play and I still play, even the SP from time to time.
Here's and example of the HDR on consoles, 360 version on display here...

Where is media molecule???...lol...They sold the IP to Sony for peanuts and now somebody else is making the game. Sure it's the PS Vita, Quad core and all but the writing is on the wall.
Sac boy had a character and the game had a vision that the ORIGINAL creative's behind the IP made into something that people fell in love with. Great music and graphical flare ( at least the 1st one ) are trademarks of the series and franchise. It might turn out better th...
....that Dice said they were NOT a MW3 clone and that they would be different...o_O
Let's face it...they want to be exactly the same in terms of multi-player and special co-op additions like this. Where is the horde/firefight mode??? I'm sure that is coming.

On Live has a great concept but the infrastructure just isn't there and they have no exclusive Ip's to bring in the gamers so what's the point. Ea has started there own set up and of course Steam has a big following already as do some others. On live is the Odd man out. All pub's will start going their own ecosystem as it is the most logical and profitable way forward.
I have no idea what M$ is doing as they basically have stop investing in devs/I...

....actions speak louder than words and since all the devs are now concentrating on consoles, I'd say that consoles are the clear winner.
I see consoles and PC basically heading in the same direction with the same destination...including all tablets, handhelds and cell phones. Games will look and play the same, regardless of platform and in the short term, that will hurt gaming but in the long run, it will be a great thing.

...then the 360 version will be the best version BUT things have changed quite a bit. Bioshock 1 on 360 was 720p and looked fantastic. The PS3 version was 640p and was ok.
Bioshock 2 was developed by 2k marin and while the game was 720p, there was an obvious dumbing down of the graphics.
If Irrational games says the consoles will have the same visuals I guess we will have to take their word for it. Seeing is believing so when the game or demo l...

So 2007 is the new 2011...O_o...who cares about 2007 as if it matters...lol...Hey, how about the Saddam Hussein huh, boy was that guy a bad apple...o_O

Jack Tretton said he didn't think it was going to stay exclusive...his exact words were " it isn't going to make it "
L.A Noire was a one point an PS3 exclusive. If that had stayed that way the game would of failed. It actually sold more on 360, 3 discs and all. Even so, the game at this point after 7+ years of development time is being considered a underachiever and some calling it an out right failure. I'm not a fan of cut scenes and games...

Talk about grasping at straws.

...Sony and Nintendo should stay ( HOME ) in Japan and make JRPG's. They don't need the west and it's money...o_O

Going up against Killzone 3 while Sony spent the whole month with a beta and a Demo gave the game a very low chance of success on the PS3 platform. Sony not only sabotaged Bulletstorm but Crysis 2 as well. Epic and Crytek should of went exclusive with M$ and they would of done much better.
If Bulletstorm had gone exclusive on 360 with an exclusive Gears of war demo and a beta key for the multi-player beta, the game would of been a smash hit with well over a milli...

How insane does that look. The boss battles are going to be epic. Playing along side your friends fighting wave after wave will be something you'll remember for a long time. This Gears team deserves some sort of award for creating such beautiful animations and worlds. Crazy weaponry and of course the brutal melee...in a league all their own.
EVERYTHING about this game looks incredible and will be a fitting end for such a great franchise this gen.
.
Bioshock 1 was a master piece. This is the same tactic that ALL devs use and it's getting really old. It seems that the only way to market the new game is to destroy the last game.
.
This is something that is going on everywhere around the gaming world. Bungie and Insomniac are a couple examples. Ubi-softy is losing so many people they have threaten to sue. Lucas arts has had big people move on. The app phenomena has put dollar signs in a lot of peoples eyes. Add to that the motion controller craze going on with games that are not much more then one trick ponies and the chance to make it big has never been better.
Sadly, it's a casual gam...

EA changed the launch date because they know they can't compete with MW3...never could. The 2 E3 trailers said it all I'm afraid...MW3 was an adrenaline pumping, world crushing, bombastic, thrilling demo while Battlefield was a ho hum, yawning, oh look smoke in the distance bore fest. I would say the Battlefield 3 trailer increased the pre-orders for MW3 10 fold and is why 2+ million gamers scrambled to join the MW3 Elite beta.
EA/Dice are nothing more th...

I think Nintendo will be fine and like the article talks about...where are the big names. I couldn't bother reading all of it as it turned into an infomercial and it's to early in the morning for that silliness.
I think Nintendo will have it tough...especially when the PS Vita finally launches and the games for that device begin to pop up. The PS Vita is a true, next gen " hardcore ' ( hello...2 sticks ) hand held and 3dS gimmick aside, the 3DS c...

“ I’ve been playing Gears Of War 3 and the only thing stopping that looking like a movie is the Xbox 360, running in real-time "
So instead of the ridiculous amount of GB's Sony's exclusives waste on pre-rendered ( not in game )hd cut scenes, Epic runs them in real time, as does Crytek which is who Mark Rein is addressing. They don'...
