they can buy the name and the engine, they can't buy the people that create it.
with Rockstar to get the GTA francise. Rockstar is only under contract to Take Two not owned. And if Take Two is sold they can be free.
When it costs them money to make the extra content?
With EA growing so large they just may be able to force the one console future. I can see them dictating hardware specs to manufactures, especially with Criterion, bioware and rockstar in their stable of developers.
Just remember as with movies art doesn't sell to the mass market. Game development is still too expensive for them to be art. Any film maker can make a thoughtful film for under $100,000. Just try to do the same with a game. Games are interactive and it is much harder to get someone to feel something when you don't control everything.
doesn't take crap from anyone. lol. they have gotten very blunt lately.
though that my elite has a lighter power supply. funny thing is I broke my ankle a bout 2 1/2 months after I got my launch system. was stuck at home for 5 months. Played that thing for 15 hours aday for those months. Just wondering why mine lasted then? because it more than average use in that time.
just press the X button and goto personal settings and make yourself appear offline
But I also understand contracts. And basically the only way to break one is to pay up. Sorry if it miffed you off but I get tired of people thinking these things are about the games at that level. It is only about the money. It is the same way with MGS. Only money would get it on another system. To be honest i think it is fabulous that both company's are going at it tooth and nail. In the end it just drives the price lower for when i pick up that black PS3 to sit next to my black elite.
and that lawsuit that would put Rockstar out of business would be funny too
but the ps3 version held it back. so they have had plenty of time to work on the new chapters while getting the ps3 version up to par.
and never a problem a launch system which i gave to my brother after I got an elite. Sometimes I gotta wonder what people are doing to their systems.
I just would like to see a one or two man team develop a game for the PS3 without Sony coming in with massive support like everyday shooter. The PS3 is just to complicated for one person to make games on by themselves. I guess when he says small developer he means studios of 20 or more people.
They want Digital Distribution. HD was only supported because of they used MS Hdi interface, which works just as well with Blu-Ray. MS duty is to look after MS first.
Tell developers how to spend their money. Will you reimburse them if your way flops? They have to make decisions based on sales and time tables. Sometimes the fan boyish behavior is so dumb. Developers are running a business not a fan club. If they don't have to do something it saves them money. If it takes more time to develop on the PS3 that costs them money. Insomniac makes games for Sony because Sony pays them. Period!!! None of these developers have the luxury of making games for fun if ...
Pay for LA Noir and GTA V?
Let people do what they want to. It isn't your money that is being wasted!
Don't go around kicking it. Leave it be and move on.
I am playing it right now and it is a great game. And I also liked Oblivion and Mass Effect. They are all good RPG's he just an not a fan.
FF3 in US was the best Final Fantasy. The series became great then, 7 just made it popular.
