Gears will be going against the PS3's shooter Resistance. Is there room for both? CliffyB thinks so:
"I played Resistance at Digital Life last week but looking at the way the game is played with your backpedaling shooting at lots of these little spider guys and you're, you know, you're running around all crazy and rushing right up to these guys and going through these kind of concrete pike filled tunnels; that's it's own game.
Gears is just not that game. Gears is much more about hide and go kill and flanking your foe and dealing with the scenario that we've proposed of enemies bursting forth from beneath you all the time, and they really feel like drastically different games. So, I mean, to play fair and be honest, I think that there's plenty of room for both products."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Props to him for being polite to other developers. And he's right, they are two completely different types of games.
But they're still in the shooter area. And when someone is in the shops this Christmas, looking at demopods and see Gears and Resistance besides each other, they'll choose on what they see.
And Gears will win hands down. Gamers that like all systems will buy it ofcourse, but they'll but it anyway. Not seeing demopods in the shops running the two besides each other...
Good to see Cliffy B is GAMER and isn't close-minded, even though some of the people who will be buying his game are. Fanbot: "NO you can't enjoy two consoles, only Xbox360..(crying inside, why cliffy why :( )
Of course there are open-minded gamers buying as well and they far out number the vocal fanbots here.
I'll be playing both for the win :) Plus Red Steel ;)
Because the devs that made GOW PUSHED themselves! They were having problems developing it. Ir was on an MTV show, They were STRUGGLING. And they said '' If it sucks, it sucks!'' They were worried. 360 is already going to throw their big guns, Halo 3 and GOW. After that, they're done. The PS3 has'nt even thrown theirs yet and I bet u they will pwn the 360 along with those 2 games.
He is right, way to respect other devlopers works. I can't stand all the mudslingging that goes on with gaming.
