Im really curious about how they'll be handling the magic and magic skill system. The game looks great in so many ways (innovation, graphics, story) -- but they havent given us enough on mechanics yet.
The idea of bringing your RPG character into a Friend's game and playing for loot that you return to your game is fantastic.
And, you can join at any time without leaving the game!
Imagine how excellent that will be. When you're on LIVE, you'll be able to see what other's are playing and send them invites to be henchment for your adventure.
Totally, 100% epic.
RPG of the Year 2008.
Write it down.
Thats so funny! I had a PS3, but it got the BluRay Disc of Death, but it wasnt under warranty, so I had to sell it as-is.
I bought a Xbox 360 and have been so happy since, I didnt know what I was missing.
I am so happy that I'll be able to get the Exclusive Episodic content for GTAIV, it would suck if I still had my old broken PS3 and couldnt play the whole game.
"...the PS3 is getting DLC but I think most of us will have moved on by then anyway. "
15 Agrees and 2 Disagrees?
This is why we know that N4Sony-zealots has a problem.
Read this loud and clear: THERE IS NO IN-GAME CONTENT FOR PS3. You will get "DLC" -- but themes and other such non-game content isnt what *anyone* cares about.
Its the *IN-GAME* content -- you know, more *GAME* -- that the PS3 will not be getting...
Ha! Look at all the PS3-owners in denial. What a delight. People want the Xbox 360 version for the superior multi-player experience via LIVE, and for the option of buying the Excluisve Expansions.
It is just hillarious watching you zealts try and tell us the Sky is Purple.
Oh, shine on you crazy-diamonds, shine-on!
"feeling the Ps3 might be better"
Right, because on N4Fanboys, "less is more" as long as its the PS3. Gotcha.
Do you people think that Sony (or MS) pays for advertising 3rd party multi-platform titles?
No.. I dont imagine they go out of their way to help sell games that they recieve the least revenue.
Sony (and MS) pay to advertise their own 1st party titles, or perhaps they'd have a co-marketing budget arrangment... but its not like they pick-up advertising shorfalls for 3rd parties.
Killzone hasnt a chance. KZ2 has been delayed and delayed by a no-name developer who's only previous work was a single mediocre game.
Gears of War 2 will certainly be the best shooter of 2008.
Why are PS3 owners so happy to wait? Why are you so eager to play "in the past" in everything?
Every time I hear "oh, I'll just wait", i wonder "What the heck for? Just buy an Xbox 360 and play today's best games instead of hoping and waiting and hoping and waiting".
@jmare
"Or a campaign longer than 6 hours." When you say such stupid things, we know you havent played Gears of War.
We *really* recommend you do. It has a higher review score than *any* game available on the PS3. And, it won piles and piles of Game of the Year awards.
You *clearly* havent played the game -- if you havent, your missing one of the stellar games of the last few years.
"Gears is only the biggest game this gen for 360 fanboys. Sony fanboys couldn't care less aout Gears. And reasonable gamers will agree, that while it was good, Gears is nowhere near the biggest game this gen. Especially this year when GTA4 and MGS4 finally release."
That is just fcuking dumb.
Gears of War won *piles* of Game of the Year Awards. "Reasonable" gamers know that Gears is one of the best games of the last two years, bar none.
"I'm looking at the scans and I don't think anyone doubted they were in-game. They look great but nothing that would cause an uproar of disagreements like e.g. that KillZone 2 trailer did..."
The scans are horrible quality. Printed and reproduced, they look like shiat.
Now, the fake-pre-rendered bull-video that Sony tried to pull over on people, yeah, that caused disagreement that caused Sony to have to admit they were pulling bull-video.

"The financial report also stated that fellow Take-Two title LA Noire is due out in fiscal 2008. The spokesperson suggested that both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases are likely, stating, "LA Noire is being developed for next-generation systems."
Maybe they will finish LA Noire, then do another game...

This site has story after story after story after story that trashes the Xbox 360 and praises the PS3.
Stories that dare question the PS3s "superiority" are ruthlessly reported -- against the N4G Posting Guidelines.
This site's approval system is broken, but that is because the zealots for the PS brand are in control here.
Anyone who's interested in reasonable discussion has long-ago left this site, I only stay because I'm a glutton for p...
You're out too lunch man.
1. The only thing better is the DLC.
There, I fixed it for you.
2. No one knows if the PS3 will have in-game messaging yet.
Messaging, Game Invites and Friends managment on Xbox 360 is GAME AGNOSTIC. You can send all those things across all titles.
3. The PS controller is much better for this game.
What? The Xbox 360 controller is built for 3D games like this. The PS3 controller is not. That's the ...
What happens when home gets released?
Will you be able to send messages across all games?
Will you be able to send game invites across all games?
Will you be able to send messages from *inside* your game to a PC?
Home is not the answer to the lack of in-game features that the Guide provides.
Home != Guide. Home == Second Life.
@2.1
Having the option of getting the Exclusive Expansions is better than NO OPTIONS.
Having the option of custom soundtracks is better than than NO OPTIONS.
What colour is the sky in your world N4G?
Ha, look at the 19 agree v 21 disagree. Only on N4G does PS3's less equal better.
Even if the two were *exactly* the same in content -- they arent, because Xbox 360 is getting the Exclusive Expansions -- the Xbox 360 would be better because of LIVE.
@sonarus: Can you read the title? "GTAIV *intro* leaked".
