Looks like it's coming to PC after all. Maybe it will also be an app on Windows 7 and other portable platforms. You can't disregard the whole Kinect game aspect as well.

Either way it's coming Fall 2011 and that means the reveal will be at E3. E3 is looking epic this year.

I don't think it was the best idea to start with but they could sell it at full price on PSn with the DLC included when this fiasco finally comes to an end.

BTW, Sony claiming the system was about to go back on line for weeks only to announce now it will be May/31 at the earliest is a crime. They obviously did that to make sure everyone that had planned to buy So-com, did so and now it's screw them all so ThQ and Brink lose out in a big way.

A new console with the latest and greatest would be the smart thing to do. Leave the 360 S for the casual Kinect demographic and the new console with upgradable and scalable graphics for the hardcore that put Xbox on the map.

The delay of Halo 4, which was scheduled to release this year in September is the strongest indication that they wanted it as a launch title for the new machine.

Many, MANY moons ago, Microsoft came to terms on the specs f...

Video games have always been art to me. Some games relay that impression more/better than others just like any art form.

It's a good thing to acknowledge and I suspect they did so since it will help to allocate monies to help devs along with tax breaks to encourage local development. So, it's a win/...

If it's undermine anything it's Sony's ability to run a secure system. People are banking on line everyday with hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars. Sony couldn't protect a simple password and that is why governments and privacy groups AROUND THE WORLD are lining up to rip the Asian company another butthole.

I agree alb1899, the game is looking great and will easily be one of the best playing and looking games of the year.

@Vhstar, Gears 3 will have singleplayer campaign, 4 player story based co-op campaign and the horde/beast mode as well as multi-player. Not many games are going to offer that kind of value but you know that don't you.

BTW, it's sad to see what's happened to the 360 community around here. It's a ghost town now with very ...

It's a cheap shot, plain and simple. Sucker punch, a third party dev isn't making games on 360 nor is Infamous going to be on 360. It may be humorous to PS3 fanboys and that's fine but don't complain when someone returns the favor.

Bulletstorm is an entirely different scenario because one, it's a multi-plat and two, ALL the doors on that level were either red or green and was paying homage to the 360, not cheesy little jabs from a butthurt dev. ...

...how older games like Halo reach and Black ops are climbing the chart. It would appear that Microsoft could very well be cashing in on Sony's misfortune since new gamers to the system would be buying the older title's. It's also worth noting that Kinect, having moved so many consoles and bringing in a very casual demographic have spurred new gamers to try the hardcore title's...either way Microsoft must be happy with the numbers leading into E3 and their big guns ...

Well, the proverbial sh*t is about to hit the fan in the console ranks.

This means that in all likely hood, Nintendo will be able to play the best of the best, including PC games. It also means that Sony and Microsoft will have to launch at the same time. If not, they will have a tough time, if not nearly impossible of beating Nintendo in the new gen.

I always thought that Microsoft delayed Halo 4 so they could use it as a launch title in 2012. Now...

If your going to do a preview of a beta or a game, maybe you should at the very least, know when the game is going to ship, in this case that would be September. It's one of the biggest stories surrounding gears as it was suppose to ship right now in April before the change.

Gears Of War 2 was not a " mess " when it launched, far from it. As a matter of fact, if you took the time to look, it's a top ten XBL title and has been from the get go.

Great post Brian, KZ 2 is to many people the best looking Killzone to date.

I have to say that Uncharted 3 is looking really good as well. Here's the latest trailer. NOT a fan of the music in the trailer and the level of graphics is not on the same level as the KZ 2 video but it is looking very interesting at the moment.

I wasn't expecting that. It looks like they are embracing the COD era and I think that it's a GOOD thing. New weapons with a nice upgrade system/perks and some interesting maps for the multi-player.

Found this NEW Multi-player trailer connected to the story. Wish they would of picked different music. Looks kinda like So-com.

When some one says something like " whats best for Rage " as a way of defining the multi-player, it can't be a good thing. It usually means you can expect a cop out in some way. They said the same thing about Bulletstorm and look how that turned out.

A game about crazy, over the top enemies and weapons NEEDS to have a deathmatch ( on foot players ) mode and I would say a firefight/horde mode.

Things have changed since Doom and the sooner...

Anything with a screen attached to it will be the console/entertainment hub of the future and we are almost there now. I suspect that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo will want to make the new consoles as soon as possible if they want to retain control of their systems and games. There only saving grace is the exclusive that will force gamers to buy their console to play their games.

You will be able to play EVERY game, no matter the name, on any T.v or electronic de...

Not sure what we are looking at, is it 360, PS3 or PC?

I hope they show the various versions at E3.

NPD was NO DOUBT, threatened with legal action and that is what has lead to the cease and desist order being given by them to analysts and other groups that depend and share the information. Trend watchers are always making predictions and share holders are ALWAYS watching. Somebody wants to keep their losses hidden from the public.
