It'll all come down to price. I think they'll release pretty close to each other, unless Microsoft surprises us at E3 this year.
For me to get back on the Sony wagon they would have had to of learned from their mistakes and offer an affordable console for a change. If they can get on par 3rd party support and some major online overhauls than I'd be more inclined to pick it up earlier on. I did get a backwards compatible PS3 pretty early on in the PS3 life cycle, ...
This game proved a lot of Kinect haters wrong for a couple of reasons. It got a solid score from everywhere and its not on rails.
I was pretty sick of hearing how Kinect could only do on rails games.
So far I've played Kinect Star Wars, which has some rails but isn't fully on rails at all, Kinect Rush, Haunt and Rise Of Nightmares that all were fully functioning.
Have you ever played a Steel Battalion game? They are violent already.
I don't think Microsoft feels any pressure to make core or casual games for Kinect, they've always took a stance that "Kinect is for gamers". They didn't pigeon hole it.
I think every type of gamer can get enjoyment out of a lot of what Kinect offers, even if its just added features to Halo, Forza, Mass Effect or Ghost Recon.
This isn't a Microsof...
This is actually a true rumor, I remember hearing years ago that Slant Six was working on an online on SWBF game. I also heard it was taken from them and given to another developer. One of the best parts about the SWBF games have been the offline modes, Galactic Conquest and all of the campaigns. So, hopefully if Spark Unlimited is working on the next SWBF game, its a full game with offline modes.
I hate how some games this generation offer no offline campaign.
Well again this is all just rumor, Microsoft knows that not everyone has their current Xbox 360's hooked up to the internet and a lot of the casual crowd that they've captured with Kinect don't go online as all either, so I am calling that part of this bogus.
The Blu Ray I expected, I mean Microsoft put the DVD drive in the Xbox and the Xbox 360 and Sony owns patents on those. Blu Ray is cheap enough now to not drive up the cost. I just hope they go with a faster ...
The people here seem ready to pounce on this game in a negative way. I was expecting a lot of 7's, but the game will sell well and will probably offer a lot of fun game modes for a lot of different types of gamers.
I've had my copy reserved for a while now, I think people are jealous that a game for Kinect is going to sell well, when some of the games they might like and might consider more "hardcore" doesn't sell at all.
I think they mean Mr. GaGa. That is definitely a dude.
Best Buy had Batman Arkham City on sale for $29.99 and Assassins Creed Revelations for $19.99. I ordered both of those bad boys.
That's a solid list, cant really go wrong.
Mine would be:
1.Halo 4 obviously
2.Tomb Raider
3.Spec Ops
4.Forza Horizon
5.Last Of Us
Of course Star Wars Battlefront 3 would be my most welcomed addition!
Am I the only one that thinks this was mismanagement on Sony's part? Zipper did nothing but great things before Sony bought them, nothing but mediocre things afterwards.
I think MAG was interesting, but the lack of any single player campaign really hurt it in my opinion.
I was in a clan called -Merc- and than later was in a clan called {MOH}. We were actually very successful and sometimes some of us will get on the game on the PS2 once and a while.
I rented a server on that game for almost two years. There is still a small community on the game and a site or two dedicated to it as well.
I was a Battlefront 2 player on the PS2 on the day it released back in 2005. I was in a clan and everything, one of the best things about those old SWBF games were the community. I think at this time a new game in the franchise would eliminate what made those older games so great.
The SWBF3 footage we saw from Free Radical looked great, we can only hope that this is on par or better than that footage.
I know I'll probably personally be disappointed with ...

Microsoft doesn't look at the PC as a competing console, I don't really care what you think personally. I don't look at a PC as a gaming console.
Microsoft allowed Remedy to publish Alan Wake to PC. Why? Because Microsoft owns the publishing rights and didn't feel the PC to be a competing platform and its not.
I don't use PC gaming, I don't own a PC for gaming, more power to those that do, but it doesn't mean you ca...
PC is not a console, I realize its an argument that people like to use, but console exclusive is exclusive nonetheless.
The games I listed are all available on a single home gaming console.
I'm not a huge shooter fan, love Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery,Last Remnant, Crackdown, Ninety Nine Nights, Ninja Blade, Halo Wars, Viva Pinata, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie Nuts And Bolts, Kameo, Dead Rising, Prey, Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4.
...
There is no other reason to own a 360? Gears Of War, Lost Odyssey,Splinter Cell Conviction, Halo, Forza, Fable, Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead or some of the better third party games that actually play better on the 360?
Cant believe you have agrees instead of disagrees. I'll be happy to be the first disagree anyway.
They just never captured that glory that was Socom 2. That was one of my all time favorite titles. It seemed to me that ever since Sony acquired them that they lost a bit of their edge.
I think as an independent studio you tend to try harder for success.
Sucks to see another company go in this economy.
This is one of the drawbacks to all the exclusives Sony has released lately, there isn't money for all. Advertising, development and everything ...
There is a difference between buying an online pass for something and having it completely console locked. I really don't mind the online pass thing, because I buy the multiplayer games I like new anyway, but I have issue to the no used games whatsoever thing.
Also, there needs to be backwards compatibility. I'm sure people will just say "Keep your PS3" which I probably will, but I already have a PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and Dreamcast all hooked up, I don'...
Riiiiiiiidge Raaaaacer!
I don't see how the console makers can take used games out of the mix next generation and get away with it. Gamestop isn't the only ones who sell used games.
Best Buy, Walmart, Play N Trade and even Amazon take trade in's on games.
If I were a store that sold used games, I wouldn't stock the next generation consoles if it were true that they wont play used games.
It starts with no used games, than it'll be digital games on...
There have been some Youtube reviews that were pretty good too.

That one got a 4/5 and said the main game modes were fun. People keep going back and making fun of the dance mode, which is just something for people that might be into that type of thing.
Granted, I wont be doing the dancing, b...
