Damn it Media Molecule, go back in time and start development 42 days earlier!!! And Sony, bring the EU release date forward to the same time as the US!!!
Hey JC!
And yes, this is really OTT. For God's sake it just a new menu system! It doesn't need 5 hours of non-stop coverage.
Typical MS. Anything can be solved by hurling unimaginable piles of cash at it. Nothing clever, just by your way in.
Still, I guess it's worked so far, but I really don't see how any of this is even nearly necessary.
And another thing, enough with all the 'Z's where they don't belong!
It hardly shouts "Quality product" at you.
...with Gears is that, for the most part, the only people getting it will be the ones who got the first one and hence already own a 360. Of course there will be people who have been putting it off and are going to get a 360 for 2 but sequels to hardcore games aren't sytem sellers when the previous instalment appeared on the same console only a few years before.
This is definitely the right move for MS, though. Lowering price will always equal more sales. Question is how many more...
You can make super-laser-death-donkeys-from -hell and pit them against Basil the overlord of dairy products and poly-vinyl-chloride guttering!
Shotgun on burning Zak Effron!!!
Also, this is a pretty cool piece of news and hopefully only the beginning.
Exciting times are at hand.
that for things like steering cars or planes, I find the SIXAXIS tricky to handle (there is no resistance so it's easy to over cook the movements). But I completely disagree that it is useless. It's perfectly suited for little things like tilting grenades on uncharted or waggling Sackboy's head on LBP. It's these little things that really add an extra layer to the game. When used sparingly and sensibly, SIXAXIS is terrific, when used for the sake of it, it falls down. You've just got to be cl...
All he wants is a little bit of Lombax action, but those meanies at Sony won't let him have it on his console. What a bunch of b*stards!
Quit ya whining, it's £10 on the UK Store. That's pretty much $20.
No, but seriously, it's good and you should get it.

Na Naa!
I think you're being a bit too cynical here. Yes, Sony are making a big deal over the fact that MGS4 is only possible on the PS3 but that's what anyone would do. They're just selling their hardware. Kojima will have wanted to push the system as far as he could, not as a publicity stunt, but because he wanted to get the game as close to his vision as he could. The man's a perfectionist.
"PS3 games are running better and better these days. Too the point that the PS3 version of a multi-plat game being the stronger version comes as no surprise." And the same goes for 360 games running better and better so whats your point?
Don't think I was taking a stab at the 360. I'm completely willing to admit that there are plenty of great games on that system. My point was that Valve are saying that the PS3 is really hard to develop for and are making out like getti...
I think the point is is that the 360 has over 5X less storage capacity on disk than the PS3 and there is no ability to cache data. These are the limitations that Kojima is facing.
The thing with Valve is that there really doesn't seem to be any good reason for the lack of support. There have been many games released for the PS3 that exceed the complexity of, say, Half Life 2 and have run as smoothly as lubricated butter yet for some reason Valve seem to struggle getting a 4 year ...
Valve just don't want to develop a new engine. Source has been good enough until the PS3 turned up and did things slightly differently so instead of putting a bit of time in to make a modern engine that runs on current platforms they say the PS3 is just a waste of time and no good can come from developing for it.
Funny, EA are probably thinking something a little different around now:
All the games I play regularly are really prejudiced against people who don't want to enjoy themselves. All the fun elements should be removed from games until you're left with controllers with one button that if you press, you lose and if you don't press, you lose. That way, no fun can be had and the unhappy people can remain unhappy.
I really hope no actual girls read these comments.
Lets be honest though, the only thing that could possibly appeal to the ladies in the same way the BB Corps appeals to the guys is that bit in act 2 when snake's got his top off, and that is a bit of a bum deal unless you're into old men or something.
Now that was a pwning!
