You're assuming that MGS5 will have Snake as the lead character. The rumours are Raiden. And he's anything like he was in MGS4, an open world game could definitely work.
A lesson SOOOOOO many developers need to learn. It's true that when you risk big, you can win big, but not in these times. Stick with the guaranteed revenue. I'm looking at you Square-Enix.
I agree that SE are circling the drain with their lackluster titles, that they haven't made a single PS3 console game, and they are just money grubbers who (ironically, perhaps karma intervening) haven't made real money this gen yet but, did you just say Bethesda and Bioware? Please tell me you're joking.
So many dumbasses around.
Sony isn't buying the exclusive. Here's the simple difference that explains why. The developer/publisher retains ALL rights to their product with Sony, they don't with Microsoft. Microsoft buys the game, and all the rights to it, Sony doesn't. What this basically is is the following...
Sony: We really want your game to be on our platform exclusively, but we understand that you can make more money by putting it on all platforms. So, we are of...
I see one of these HHG articles posted, I'm reminded of the episode of South Park where the guys had a morning news show and started making up stories to beat Craig's show.
"it benefit Microsoft more if they pay square 100 Million a piece than to pay 2-3 billion for the company.... with that money Microsoft can buy 30 square games..."
WHAT?!!! So, what you're saying is, Microsoft benefits from forcing games to go multiplat, thereby still having to share any success WITH A COMPETING PLATFORM? As opposed to actually buying the company (which they can't) which would basically negate that entirely.
Are you serious? Do you even lis...
Seriously, I can guarantee you a marriage to Microsoft RIGHT NOW, I'll even throw in some viagra and fertility pills so you can have kids.
You think that SE's worth is the only determination as to whether or not Microsoft can afford to buy them? Are you forgetting things like, oh I don't know, THE ECONOMY?!!! The fact that Microsoft has slashed jobs just like every other big company? The fact that MGS is only ONE SMALL PART of all of Microsoft, and DOES NOT have access to ALL of ...
It is impossible for an inanimate object, such as the Xbox360 is, to acquire anything but dust. Microsoft can attempt to acquire SE, they'll fail, but they can make the attempt if they like.
HipHopGamer, you need to stop making assumptions based on nothing. Like the saying goes, stop making an ass out of u and me.
WRONG!!! They do NOT have the highest selling console in history. That belongs to the PS2. The Open Zone is your friend, so take your misinformed fanboyism there.
And this is the same company people praise in the gaming industry. I'm telling you, if there is one thing Microsoft ALWAYS does right, it's proving how stupid people really are.
They'll rake in a mint with this idea because of that stupidity, they'll be praised for their innovative ways of ripping people off, except it won't be called that.
We like to call ourselves developed countries, but it's clear that development in this case doesn't refer to mental development....
YOU'RE ACTUALLY DEFENDING THIS?!!
WTF is wrong with you? That wedding is still open you know. I can LEGALLY MARRY YOU TO MICROSOFT RIGHT NOW!!!
I didn't think ANYONE would be stupid enough to actually think this was a good idea, but you just proved me wrong. Un-frickin-believable.
I see you haven't changed at all from your Gametrailer days.
Anyone who doesn't know this guy, pay absolutely no attention to him. His home should be the Open Zone.
Is the largest, most successful, most influential JRPG in existence. They compare other games to it for the same reason you would compare anything to something similar that is highly successful, because more people will get the reference if something is widespread than if not.
I mean, they could compare it to something like Secret of Evermore for the SNES, but then people would be like "WTF, I never heard of that game".
Say Final Fantasy, and you'd be hard-...
Is an AWESOME game. 1up has never really known how to critique a game, and it's painfully evident in their assessment of Rogue Galaxy.
I wish 1up would just shut up.
Tell me you don't believe the 360 out-processes ANYTHING. Seriously. Come on, tell me you aren't THAT naive and stupid.
Out-Processes, LMAO. What will the 360 fanboys come up with next.
"Teh 360 IZ reliable, it'z teh uzers that aren't"
Troy Hurtubise, a Canadian, has already invented Halo-esque armor.

Sorry, but L.O. is no exception. It hasn't even sold a million units worldwide. If it was good, it should have sold at least that much.
Plus, it's basically FFX with more reading.
I think it's important to note that we're talking about JRPG's, because 360 fanboys will make that distinction eventually.
Second, no FFXIII will not save RPG's. The only way to do that is to stop putting them on the 360. And you fanboys can hate on me all you want to, but I defy you to show me ONE JRPG that DIDN'T underwhelm and/or underperform critically, commercially, or both on the 360.
When you change the style of development that has brought you so much success...
How is it that Sony is protecting their IP from themselves?
Let me make it clear for you.
LittleBigPlanet: The contest in question saw users WILLINGLY submitting content for a contest THEY KNEW was going to become the property of Sony. They understood that Sony could, at ANY time, use said content and DID NOT have to reimburse them because the submitter is taking a gamble at winning a contest in which they really don't lose anything and can potentially gain a small m...
why would you make a statement to which you already know the outcome? of course some would. LOL.
