I can see it going Respawn one year, Halo the next, like the Infinity Ward/Treyarch CoDs. Which is a bit of a downer. Next-gen should be all about new stuff.
What everybody else said. I've got so used to the 360 controller I have real trouble using the PS pad these days, it feels too small by comparison.
Genuinely surprised by how well it works. Faintly alarmed that Bioware can make Kinect shine, while 343 couldn't.
Funny article. That picture is hella disturbing, though.
omg bias!
I laughed.
Gotta be a lot of players who are killing time (and themselves) waiting for MW3, whereupon they're going to trade BF3 in for it.
Cue a lot of moaning about Online Passes when they pick it up pre-owned...
The first one is genius.
It's a fake: http://www.computerandvideo...
Surely everybody who wants it will have already bought it in stores?
"Don't Preorder" is an unusual headline. Makes it sound like a deliberate dig at the publisher rather than the game - there are plenty of indifferent previews out there, but they rarely lead with specific buying advice. That would lead to 99% of all IGN previews being PREORDER THIS GAME.
I think in future we'll look back on this as the moment when Molyneux truly lost it.
Can PS3 do it yet? I know Infinity Ward said it was going to have 'em for Modern Warfare 2.

It's about making stuff easier to use, isn't it. You could browse the web on WAP phones five years ago, but it wasn't until Apple made it all shiny and simple that people got behind it. This is the same principle - internet features for people who don't want keyboards on their consoles. Which is most of them.
Browsing's helpful - I wish GTA IV had it, for one - but matchmaking has its uses. L4D nails it, you just load it and you can then jump straight into a match in progress.
Who is? Now that Bungie say they're not doing any more?
They don't need Molyneux for that. I'd have thought him getting involved means *more* hardcore games - it's not as if Lionhead have ever done anything else.
You can't stop the Molynator.
At the moment there's still room for some surprises. Although there's also room for MS to accidentally leak them all beforehand. Like they usually do.
