This sucks if true, wish those guys the best of luck with where they end up.
But this has to start throwing up some red flags. Does Microsoft now have any internal, first party development going on besides RARE? I believe they now have that interal Halo team they're creating but they've yet to release anything and who knows if they can deliver, I'm sure they will but it's not proven yet.
Seriously, awhile ago they said "exclusives are less important" bu...
good then stop giving sites hits for making all his personal blog posts news stories. he doesn't want the attention, it's there for those who want to seek out what he things on certain issues. he doesn't come to us with his ideas, we go there and then turn them into worthless news stories to drive clicks.
i'm glad there is only one part of the video posted too.
don't approve this stuff anymore.
jaffe says its his PERSONAL blog, its there for that reason. we go to it, he doesn't come to us trying to spread his thoughts. give the man some room to talk instead of turning everything he says into a new story. it's getting old.
No surprise here. I figured this would of been announced at E3 this year.
Really? I think they're just trying to get some hype out there for the game. I still think this is gonna be a repeat of Lair. Just because something sells over a million doesnt mean its any good, look at Kane and Lynch. That game was sold on false hype and controversy, much like Too Human in my eyes.
Oh well, I wish them the best though.
First gameplay video? Where have you been?
Like GTA 4 right? .. oh wait.
This is what happens when you dont have much in terms of first party stuff. You're able to toss around the millions of dollars that would go to your first party studios at third parties to tie up exclusives.
Personally I'd rather invest that in exclusives the competition will never have in their library. Sure they'll lock up some pure exclusives but from here on out I see studios handing out timed exclusives and thats it. Budgets are too high to exclude millions of potential cu...
This stuff was probably already planned before any of these movies or at worse the same exact time. It's like Armageddon and Deep Impact, both came out within a year of each other. Do you think one copied the other? No, it was just similiar projects happening at the same exact time.
I think this guy is just looking for a reason to hate on the game. And like any game is ever original. Every game copies another.
Couple things that make me just wanna slap whoever wrote this. Insomniac is opening a studio in North Carolina, not Georgia. And didn't Jaffe already confirm they were working on a new Twisted Metal until Sony told him to keep quiet? Other than those two things it's a good look at their dev studios.
Of course Live is better, but not $50 better.
This movie should of been CGI not live action. It will be horrible. I hate how they're about to ruin a franchise I love.
How about not tie it into the movie at all?
I still dream of an open world Nolan-styled Batman game. But sadly I dont think there is a developer up to the task. Rockstar would be #1 on my list because after seeing Liberty City in GTA4, I think they could recreate Gotham City very well and they might be able to pull off a good story. But I dont think there is one studio that could do it on their own and I doubt you'd see high profile studio teaming up.
Gotta love Zipper.
Considering I didnt even see that in the actual article, I'll take it as author speculation.
"We said we were committed to supporting Mass Effect as a franchise and have the trilogy on the Xbox 360, and that's still our goal"
And the author goes on to speculate that means exclusively. No where does he actually say it. But what do you expect, its a platform specific site?
After looking at the article, where is this exclusive comment? Aside from the author basically making up the comment and making a leap based on what is said to him. All I see is "we're committed to bringing the mass effect triology to x360", no where do I read exclusively. So nice assumption.
Hopefully Pandemic is working on this like the rumors say, cause I dont see them picking up a better dev studio sadly, even though the game deserves top notch development.
How does Microsoft "outshine" anyone when they showed nothing new, showed off third party games that are coming to the PS3, show things that clearly rip off the competition, and show FF13 .. which is coming to the PS3 and probably wont hit the US until 2010?
The VP of Product Development already said MAG was in internal beta tests. At the 1:15 mark.

AoE has sold over 20 million units as a franchise. So to say "nobody will miss them" is a foolish thing to say.
