He is getting a lot of distraction from people around him (I note at the beginning he describes the head tracking as "brilliant").

Not only that but he's also missing the single biggest thing that would help him - the thing that drivers use the most in order to understand what the car is doing.... Proprioception. Without it, he's only got a portion of the data a driver in a real car has.

Move is already a "hot holiday item" - I guess you missed that though.

Why the list of non-releases?

360 - no GeoW3, No Halo 4, no Forza 4, no AW2

See - a list of games never planned to be released - so what?

Get a clue dude.

Or to put it another way, MS has no upcoming exclusives of note, so, while they try and get the casuals to buy a $20 web cam for $150, they can keep their shooter hungry owners happy by re-releasing a few games.

Even MGS can't screw that up - can they?

Also the car suffered no apparent handling/mechanical damage.

This tells me it was not the Sim/Pro damage model being applied, just the arcade level.

No. Valve isn't for sale, but even if Apple managed to find enough cash to make it possible for Valve to be bought, the talent there would leave and form another company and Apple is left with a name - see Rare as a great example of a company that is bought for it's talent which then simply moves away.

If Apple are looking to buy something they need to either buy product, or at least a company with willing employees. Bungie is probably a better target - Bungie's s...

Both TFU games have been bad Star Wars game since they don't reflect the SW universe lore very well.... Saying that there ware worse games doesn;t make these two any better.

Guess it's time to accept that the days of the good SW games was the 90's and earlt 00s - since then they've become progressively less SW and more generic with SW license slapped on :/

Which is a good thing since otherwise this might get missed :

"The Need for Speed Hot Pursuit demo will be available for download October 26 on Xbox LIVETM Marketplace worldwide and the PlayStation®Network in the UK on October 27 on the PlayStation Network."

Looks like UK Only for the PSN demo....

EDIT: It is weird - but the latter part of the sentence seems to be badly formed so maybe it's a typo...

Vanquish is the game Gears of War 3 wishes it was (minus the broken MP though).

Why does the length matter when a game is fun enough in SP to want to replay it?

I also don't think that 3.5 is the reason - or if it is, then PD and Sony are even less professional than I thought (and I have a pretty dim view). However, technically speaking they need to build the GT5 code with the 3.5 SDK, otherwise hacked PS3's could just skip the 3.5 firmware install and run GT5 anyway.

GT5 is a big deal for Sony so no surprise they want to protect their investment as much as possible.

But big surprise if no one at Sony/PD spot...

^^ Wow - is someone pointing a gun at your head and making you come here?

This is a news aggregation site - it's for news. People can comment on the news and that's it. There's no right to a discussion or anything else here. If your comments are boring or stupid, other people get to shut you up. Perfect.

If you want to chat with like minded people, go to a forum (try www.xbox.com for starters eh?).

At first I thought Ninty were going for their price point since the hardware was so expensive they were barely making a profit thus explaining why it's a seemingly high price.

However, the specs are becoming known and the 3DS is about as powerful as a 1st Gen iPhone/iPod Touch 2G which suggests that Ninty are perhaps pumping their price a bit - certainly I'm struggling to see where the high price for the 3DS is coming from in terms of hardware.

Wii gamers lol - had a console for 18 months and feel they can make derisive comments about games on other platforms.... heh, GT5 - half the sales of Mario Kart, but 10 times the gameplay ;)

Rubbish. GT5 is a big title in its own right and certainly not something for the non-gamers that MS is targeting with Kinect.

Either way, this is not a marketing thing - you don't get this close to release and pull the plug for something like that - stores had already advertised their midnight opening, pre-orders were in, the various packages are announced.

I imagine it's bugs that caused this delay - even now we've seen so little of the features ...

Fanboy? Lolz yeah that's right I am a Fanboy - of GT!!! I have both a CE and SE edition on preorder and have had since last year (for the SE). I also have a G27 wheel and wheel stand for it, the latter purchased solely so GT5 would be easier to play (my wheel normally stays with my PC).

So you see, I feel this additional delay much more than the transients who pass through here - however I can see that this is a ridiculous state of affairs from PD in particular and Sony i...

Awww come on now - don't get all mad, it's not like there's no other great exclusives for PS3 this "holiday season" is it? Oh there's not? whoops....

Well, um, there's like some DLC or something so chin up.

So which will be first Duke Nukem Forever or GT5??

Wow, 2 months ago, GT5 was a cert and DNF was still in no man's land - youch.

Well SOCOM was delayed but it was a bit of a surprise announcement and early release anyway.

However, GT5 has already been in the pot a long time - you have to wonder if Polyphony really have the resources to complete games in a reasonable timescale now - this is costing them and Sony a lot of money (and alienating previous fans into the bargain).

I guess we'll see what this delay is like - the original Russian source said a couple of weeks so not a major...
