Show me where MGS4 was hyped for 5 years and shown on PC or 360, then pulled off that platform to be a Sony exclusive months before release...then we'll talk about it being the same.
I'll let you work on that
Maybe he lives in a 3rd world country. PS2 just released in Brazil in Nov. 2009, for US$462.

I honestly think natal will be worse off from having no controller. People like having some kind of tactile interaction. Remember how much flack Sony took for not putting vibration in the original PS3 controllers? Tactile feedback is important. I assume Natal will work along side with controllers, otherwise I don't see how shooters/any game that requires multiple commands being issued for game play will really control with that much precision or accuracy. Did you see that episode of the J...
"Knock it out the part Bungie!"
lol man:)
The expression is "Knock it out of the park", as in a "home run" ;)
"It makes sense to say a game is exclusive amongst the consoles because consoles are a unique subdivision of the market"
Well then, using this logic I can say that Modern Warfare 2 is a PC exclusive, because PCs are also an unique subdivision of the market.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense /S
I think you're missing the point here. Its not that Remedy decided to make it only for 360 and didn't develop it for PC. They had already developed it for PC. The game engine was already in place, all the original in game footage was running on pc. Its fancy lighting was designed to show off new quad core processor capabilities. It was created on pc then ported to 360, and in the process dumbed down a little. True, the final polish is probably only going on the 360 version, but it would...
Its fine for 360 to have exclusives, but don't develop a PC version along side then kill it at the last minute. Thats why people are complaining. And people don't complain that the 360 has no exclusives because they are on the PC too, we (pc gamers) just have the stance that you can't call a game an exclusive if it is on more than one platform, since the majority of console gamers don't think the PC counts.
"Why the f would MS want their exclusives for PC?"
Guess what? This game wasn't an exclusive until Remedy took it off the PC (paid to do so or not). Thats the whole point the real killer is making.
@Herpo-
The main reason its bad is because the game was already developed for other systems and microsoft canned it. Its not like GG or ND made multiplat games, then sony came along, bought them and canned the 360/pc versions. Its good to have your own...
they (not these people, dice) said that they do want to put co-op in the game, though didn't specify if it would make the release or even be realized anytime soon.
Yeah, you're pretty much right with that statement. I have all three consoles and a gaming PC. I use the PC the most, followed by the PS3. I don't even turn the 360 on anymore. I don't hate it, but I have no reason to use it. Its just too loud and on its 3rd replacement, and my live sub ran out. Too much money invested in it previously to sell it (20+ games that would probably trade in for like $2-$10), not reliable enough to invest more money into it. So yeah, I guess the point would ...
"It will be ready when its ready."-Their general PR quote.
They just announce games a generation in advance :)
Not trying to start anything here, but I was under the impression that they lost 5mill subs or so due to the game being banned from China, putting the number around 6mill subs total. True/false? Can anyone explain if they know?
I know that its probably not the case, but will unlocks in the PC beta carry over to retail because they are tied to your EA account? I haven't seen any information regarding this at all, though like I said, I assume they won't.
No, it probably has to do with destructible environments. Come on now, you're smarter than that!
"However, multiplayer will now feature the inclusion of experience points that can then be used towards class and weapon customization. A move ripped right out of Modern Warfare 2’s playbook."
I stopped reading this article right here. This system has been used in Battlefield games long before MW and MW2. Saying that Dice ripped off the system from Infinity Ward is ridiculous, and completely inaccurate/uninformed.
This article is about the PC version, which has anti-aliasing and is getting better textures :) Problems solved.
I assume the answer to this is no, but I can't find information anywhere about it. Will any unlocks achieved during the PC beta stay on your EA account when the full version releases, or will you have to earn the better guns/extras all over again?
A mac is a personal computer.
It's not Adobe's fault. If you try to use flash with the iPhone, you get this message-
“ADOBE FLASH PLAYER – Flash Play not available for your device, Apple restricts use of technologies required by products like Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates these restrictions Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for the iPhone or iPod Touch.”
One can only assume its the same way with the iPad. Apple wants to create a closed system that they have total control over, and Flash ...
"You-can't-play-it-on-you r-PS3 , therefore, PC/360 are CONSOLE exclusives."
Using this logic, I can also say that it is a PC exclusive. Halo 1 was a pc exclusive, as are ME2 and Splinter Cell Conviction, cus they aren't on PS3. Yeah, that makes alot of sense... and PC isn't a console...
