First game: MDK 2. 87% at GameRanking. Already an amazing game for their first game.
Next came all the "masterpieces": Baldur's Gate. Baldur's Gate II. Knights of the Old Republic. Neverwinter Nights. Jade Empire.
BioWare has YET to made a bad game that gets below 80% at Metacritic or GameRanking.
BioWare does not make just games. They make MASTERPIECES and CLASSICS.
And you can't argue with the facts.
I was just comparing the TRACK RECORDS of Bungie to Guerilla Games.
It *is* about track record.
Just look at.... um, let say, Blizzard. BioWare. Bizzare. They have never made a game that's below 85%. (Activision's policy for acquiring a studio: all of the studio's games must score above 85% at Metascore.)
No offense, but Guerilla Games is not even good enough for Activision to consider "bu...
The FIRST Bungie game that's rated, Myth, actually was rated at 90% and above: 91% at Metacritic and 90% at GameRanking.
The lowest score Bungie has ever gotten was 88% for Myth II, a RTS game. That's the ONLY Bungie games that got below 90%, and it's still darn close to 90%.
Bungie has NEVER made a game as bad as Killzone, even back from the beginning.
The highest score Guerilla Games has ever gotten was 79% for Killzone: Liberation, a PSP game t...
And, as a reference, Killzone got a dismay 70% at Metacritic and 73.2% at GameRanking.
The second Killzone game, Killzone: Liberation for PSP, which is not even a FPS, got a 77% at Metacritic and 79% at GameRanking.
The other rated games made by Guerilla Games (the studio that makes Killzone are: ShellShock for PS2, got 58% at Metacritic and 60% at GameRanking. ShellShock is also on PC and Xbox, but those scores are even lower; Rhino Rumber for GBC, which got 6...
Let's the lesson commence:
Bungie's first game was Pong for Mac, called Gnop! That's a clone of Pong the ancestor of all games. Bungie made a Mac version that's just exactly like the original Pong and as a freeware. That's before Bungie was a commercial company.
Bungie's first commercial game was a FPS with adventure game elements called 'Pathways into Darkness' for Mac, which came out in 1993, three years before the Doom in 1996. It's one of the "pionee...

because it creates attention and hype for the two PS3 exclusives.
and if it's true and Sony hears the rumor that Microsoft is "close" to getting FF13 and MGS4, Sony will multiply their effort to remedy the situation and counter Microsoft's offers to Square Enix and Konami, which is what Microsoft does not want.

Apple will be dead in this race, simply because Apple's media center will not survive on iPod alone and without a console or any extra multimedia funtionality to support it.
I wonder if it has anything to do with what Bizarre had said about DVD size.
If you're not going to name your sources, you should at least give a rough time frame for how soon or late your speculations will come into fruition. A week from now? A month? Six months? A year? Never?
It's okay if you don't want to identify your sources - but you are putting up your own reputation and credibility to back up your claims.
Without a time frame, this sort of rumor is just useless. Let say it does not happen a year from now, you can still say, &q...
I think it's just a marketing stunt.
Sony is spreading deliberate rumors to hype up their own exclusives. By cooking up such rumors, Sony think they can create the expectations and demands for those two titles. Any sort of rumor to keep those two games in the limelight, make people talk about them and get excited about them, and up their profiles is good (for Sony and PS3.)
Which, in a way, is a devious, sinister chicanery to hype their own exclusives.
Three Speech identifies the editor Anthony Hanes (who posted the rumor in the forum) as a contributor and industry insider. 3Speech: "This one’s from American-based Three Speech regular and industry insider Anthony Hanses…"
So he's checked.

However, the forum DOES in fact identify the sources, clearly:
Author and Researcher - Jordan LeDoux

So we have their names. Let's check their backgrounds and credibility and see who they are.
