Peter Moore, former Xbox head, now at EA as the head of the Sport division, probably the single most important game division in EA.
Don Mattrick, former EA president, now at Microsoft as the head of the Xbox division.
Both can leverage tremendous influence and connections in EA... which can and will benefit Microsoft, one way or another.
An "unreliable cook" is a person.
A "lollipop" and "the Best on menu" are food items.
Jack Tretton failed to use consistent analogies for the comparison. It seems like he wanted to use food items as analogies to compare the consoles, but he's too much of an idiot to realize that an "unreliable cook" does not match with "lollipop" and "the Best on menu" in the context of an analogous comparison.
Peter Moore is held accountable for putting out 11.6 million flawed boxes and costing his company 1.1 billion dollars.
Bush is still not being held accountable for all the messes he got America... um, no, THE WORLD, into.
I guess Bill Gates does make you accountable for putting out 11.6 million flawed boxes and costing the company 1.1 billion dollars.
Microsoft did allow Halo and Fable to be published for Mac after all, even though Apple has always been such an ass to Microsoft, Microsoft has always treated Apple with tolerance and kindness.
(Heck, Microsoft even bailed out Apple in 1997 by injecting cash into a dying Apple back when Apple was almost bankrupt and all other buyers were just interested in taking apart Apple and selling it piece-by-piece.)
Legendary.... THE BOX (!?!) Worst. Title. Ever
Legendary.... THE BOX!?!
If Epic puts its game out on Linux, all the open source evangelists will constantly harass Epic to "share" and give away the source code of its 3D engine.
And if Epic refuses to "share", those evangelists will just whine and complain and threaten and even terrorize. I see them in forums of major game developers asking (or more like demanding) companies to publish their source codes from time to time. Those people really think of open source as some sort of...
Not this BULLSHIT again. Mark Rein PERSONALLY came out and posted in a forum to debunk the persistent rumor that Gears of War would come to PS3:
"This story is complete bull****. I emailed the site and asked them to take it down. We're very happy with our relationship with Microsoft. If it weren't for them Gears wouldn't be the huge hit it has become."
Here, the source, see for yourself:
2. Folklore
3. Rachet & Clank Future
4. Heavenly Sword
5. Killzone 2
They are more varied than Xbox 360's offering, but most will not be out until next year.
Here are the really bad news for Xbox 360:
-The top number-one game on the list is a MULTIPLATFORM game. (i.e., Call of Duty 4.)
-3 out of 5 best 360 games are multiplatform. (i.e., ...
and now it's not even the best FPS on Xbox 360.
8 millions translate into about $80 million at the box office - assuming everyone who bought Halo 2 will go to the theater to see the Halo movie when it comes out.
That means the Halo movie is not getting a budget that's more than $40 million. Period. That's in the low budget range. Even then, most studios would pass because there are other more profitable ways to spend the $40 million.
Microsoft naively thinks it could hookwink a movie studio into spending $15...
based on some speculations and rumors of some "Gears of War" like IP is coming to PS3. Like always, the title for that news is misleading.
I listened to that podcast, and the guy actually said Epic would continue to work on more 360 games. The guy actually did NOT say Epic is working on Gears of War or any similar IP for PS3. That title is again totally misleading.
it shows that PS3 boys really want to have Gears of War or something like it, even though they deny it.
You guys don't work in the film business. Here the jokes are on Halo and Microsoft. Microsoft actually had someone dress up as a master chief and show up at a studio to deliver the spec script to an exec. What an amateur. The exec was actually embarrassed for having master chief idiot showing up outside his office. (Imagine how you would feel if some guy dressed up in the master chief suit and show up at where you work to see you when it's not Halloween.) Microsoft pretty much killed the...
the disappointing piece-of-crap that is living off its past success and really does not deserve to sell millions of copies.
like the speculation that Sony would get its exclusive IP from Bioware at E3...
... didn't happen.
