EGM's Massive Rumour Roundup!

In the latest edition of their weekly rumour column, the US games mag provides a treasure trove of gaming gossip. Included in their speculation is (take a deep breath...) a PS3 version of Ninja Gaiden Black, a massively multiplayer version of Burnout, a re-designed PSP (again), Kingdom Hearts PSP, a lightsaber-waving Wii Star Wars game, next-gen Star Wars: Battlefront sans Pandemic and an Xbox 360 version of PC MMO, Auto Assault. Phew!

Most of the mag's speculation sounds pretty straightforward, but Sony's supposed PSP re-design seems to be the rumour that just won't die.

[Cyclonus]

Itagaki not giving ANY details on NG2, does NOT = available on PS3. EGM picks most of their rumors out of cow pastures. bullsh1t

[joemutt]

You can play it on your 360 if you want its backward compatible.

[TheMART]

Well if Ninja Gaiden would be on PS3 I don't care really.

As long as Gears of War stay exclusive.

And PS lost their biggest exclusive GTA
Furthermore that Assassin's Creed will a real short timed exclusive.

And there are no other exclusives that are really worth the trouble and money to get them over. Because 360 has the best and most original upcoming exclusives.

So if they should get NG it would be allright with me...

[OutLaw]

Just kidding. Hey if they do get Ninja Gaiden it probably wont be for a few years. By then I think everybody would know if the PS3 made it or not.

[pandarus]

just to point out that this rumor is referring to black, not ng2. as far as i'm concerned, that's no big deal.

[Cyclonus]

it does say NG BLACK don't it? in that case who cares.

[ps3willrule]

its funny how no one comments on 360 page but u get all the 360 fanboys on ps3 page...lol

[REDMOND BOYZZ]

This is home page industry news it's on both PS3 and Xbox360. It's funny why you care where people post don't worry about it and make sure you know what you're talking about before you open you're ass (mouth)

[ACE]

lol wake up you fool,,,

smell the coffee ,,, yes thats right are you awake yet ?..... look sony aint what you think they are its the wool over your eyes remove the wool you fool,,,,,

sony fans are like gold fish they have a 6 second memmory so they keep for getting howoften fony fuk you up the arse wake up dude sony are lyers full stop ,,,,

i was a sony fan now am a 360 fan by fony you had me in a trance now i have woke up so fuk you

[silent ninja]

lets hope the future ninja gaiden games stay exclusive to xbox 360 if he brought it to ps3 i would feel betrayed. DOA and DOAX already are exclusive to 360

any way tgs is around the corner it should clear this confusion

[ps3willrule]

if x-box had good games even the over rated halo then y such a big loss.....dreamcast had some sweet games but that didn't really help there system same with the 360 only i think dreamcast had better games for its time then the 360 does. In this 1 year they shipped 10 million only sold 4 ....its still on shelves everywhere i go and i'm not lying. i dunno where u guyz live mab out in the sticks but 360's are on shelves everywhere i go....so r ps2's but there selling!!! o peter moore u screwed up with dreamcast u couldn't market hyp for it.....u screwed upx-box making it a loss....and ur screwin up 360 i can't beleive ur not fired or killed by a hitman yet from sega.

[The BS Police]

Calling Halo overated means that every other big francises like MGS and Mario are overated aswell!

Halo only has 2 games out and they allready outsold the MGS franchise.

So tell em how you came up with that ridiculous statement.

[THE TRUTH]

Calling Halo overated means that every other big francises like MGS and Mario are overated aswell!

Halo only has 2 games out and they allready outsold the MGS franchise.

So tell em how you came up with that ridiculous statement.

I agree that Halo is not overrated, basically the numbers speak for themselves but..... No WAY IN HELL does it compare to the way games like MGS, Mario, FF, Street fighter ect ect. have changed the way we play those games. Halo hasnt't changed anything, but it is a huge game. Developers like Kojima have brought us classic after classic while setting the standard as far as graphics, gameplay and story is concerned. Please don't make these statements as though you have any facts....... Halo has not outsold the entire MGS franchise no way, the MGS series started on NES and was/is on PSone PS2 and PSP that is just ridiculous for you to even think that.

[GamerX2]

All Blueray players delayed...Fact

[TheMART]

-cut- wrong place

[TheMART]

So the PS2 is not on the shelves? Man products have to be on the shelves to be sold. MS has stated that they will sell 5 to 5.5 million by the end of June. So if you say they sold 4 million up till now they are going to make it. They will sell 10 million by Christmas. Just because Gears of War will be a huge system seller.

Look products not laying on the shelves, that's the Sony strategy. Not able to produce enough still even not months after launch.

I spoke to some shop owners about the PSP for example. He said the Nintendo DS outsold that thing, but even if he would like to sell one to a customer, he had to say: well I don't know if they will be here this week, this month or in 3 months. Just check regurlarly.

Selling no is the worst thing one can have. So that you see 360's on the shelves is a good thing.

But hey PS3willrule is the same person as PS3Lord alias ssj04 so we all know where this came from...

[shoota33]

yeah ms also said halo 3 will lauch with ps3.ms does not contol how many units they sell people do. and the fact is no one are buying them and thats a fact everyone i know is waitting for ps3.they will be lucky to sell 5 million by the time ps3 launches,Gow is not a console seller only you think/want it to be. there is nothing special about this game or any other of the millions of shooters for the xbox 1.5,you just shoot some aliens and the game is over.

[TheMART]

Ofcourse, that's why it got the most awards on last E3 and became the best game of the show

So stay at your PSZero with only MGS4 as a good game for the rest CGI no real footage

[ps3willrule]

do u know anything about buisness or anything the fact that the blu ray players are delayed is for the ps3 to gain ground u do know sony has royalties over blu ray they call the shots its not that hard to understand y other companies are delaying it..simple sony has royalties to it ..use ur head dumb fuk instead of throwing a useless comment out there...look behind ur dumb facts to realize sony has royalties over blu ray if other comapnies came out with it first the could get in legal battle......and blu ray comments are really dumb cause its an estimated 70% of production companies and film indusrty support blu ray over hd dvd sooooooo u really have no point there if everybody supports blu ray then hd dvd is going to fail hell its not even out yet and warner bros announced its switchin to blu ray and hd dvd....incase u didn't know warner bos. was hd dvd bigggest card LMAO now they pretty much got no one.

[OutLaw]

You should be happy to know that the Samsung Blu Ray isn't going to be delay. It was someone jumping the gun

[ps3willrule]

acually i'm not those ppl those ppl were dumb and jus said ps3 is better i'm stating facts

[ps3willrule]

do u know anything about buisness or anything the fact that the blu ray players are delayed is for the ps3 to gain ground u do know sony has royalties over blu ray they call the shots its not that hard to understand y other companies are delaying it..simple sony has royalties to it ..use ur head dumb fuk instead of throwing a useless comment out there...look behind ur dumb facts to realize sony has royalties over blu ray if other comapnies came out with it first the could get in legal battle......and blu ray comments are really dumb cause its an estimated 70% of production companies and film indusrty support blu ray over hd dvd sooooooo u really have no point there if everybody supports blu ray then hd dvd is going to fail hell its not even out yet and warner bros announced its switchin to blu ray and hd dvd....incase u didn't know warner bos. was hd dvd bigggest card LMAO now they pretty much got no one.

[KoRnALIVE]

Most of the games for the PS3 are pretty much sequels so that means boring same old stuff like Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, DMC, Grand Turismo, Tekken etc. and those are the best games they have! so yeah ... the only thing people are looking forward to is the Blue Ray dvd player not games. The PS3 is a next Gen DVD player, not a gaming console.

[shoota33]

besides halo what does xbox 1.5 have NOTHING.DREAMCAST 360 IS JUST A LAST XBOX PIANTED WHITE.

[MoonDust]

Good one-Bs police

[REDMOND BOYZZ]

Don't listen to this idiot he flames every day and tries to make points that only hardcore PS fans care about, the gaming world see's PS like Coke/PS3; it will be seen sooner than later that Soda is bad for you...

[KoRnALIVE]

you shouldn't be on this web? last time I checked this is a Xbox 360 forum I think you should leave because your just a troll, and no one cares about you.

Xbox 360

1. Gears of War
2. Lost Planet
3. Mass Affect
4. BioWare
5. Huxley
5. Too Human
6. Blue Dragon
7. ShadowRun
8. Prey
9. Chromohounds
10. Oblivion

and none of them are sequels! SONY you loose.

[pRo loGic II]

You know those games kick ass and will sell like hot cakes and sell the console, so how can you let this Sony game-troll get under you're skin. He's a friggin idiot if he thinks these games won't be popular with gamer's and soon to be gamer's. He's just Bitter because he's a super hardcore Sony fan, the frustration of Sony and his favorite console in a mess has him lashing out at Microsoft. Who really care's that much about a company, Sony's practices is the only reason people care about Sony (if you're not a fan of Sony)Im a news buff and i follow up on companies but i never get passionate about it. He's mad at the wrong company... #21.1 that's you're opinion that 360 has a wack ass game list but it seems the games you speak of are not wack to many, many people. You would have to be an idiot to say that these games would suck to the average or casual gamer...

[pRo loGic II]

{{{How do i know they will sell like hot cakes?}}}becuase #1 they're the best of all next-gen console's have to offer... #2 most are new and fresh ideas that's when MS will crab alot of the young players(happens to be a huge part of Sony's fanbase)...#3 trust me when i say that when you play the fu*k out a series; people will be looking for somthing fresh, and just how many genre's do think there is... [you must let go of you're feelings use the force]

[Madmax1281980]

sorry to say this snow white but oblivion is a sequel it the elder scrolls franchise but the others aint sequels btw im a hardcore xbox fan so dont take it the wrong way :)

[KoRnALIVE]

Xbox 360

1. Fable 2
2. Forza 2
3. Halo 3.
4. Grand Theft Auto 4
5. Resident Evil 5.

[TheMART]

But they took GTA as the most important exclusive from PS and get downloadable content exclusive.

And Resident Evil another exclusive they took from PS

[KoRnALIVE]

I just woke up idiot! and I just finished playing Hitman 2 and today I will be playing Moto GP.

and next month Prey, and Chromohounds! what about you?

[KoRnALIVE]

You've lost your mind and it makes no sense as you babble and slobber all over yourself.

leave already

[Unknownunknown]

What is with all the people thinking MGS sells as well as halo.. no it doesn't. The 360 easily has the more interesting game lineup. Square Enix will announce big 360 titles for the 360 at TGS (which will make the purchase of a ps3 even more pointless)

Forza really does whoop gran turismo's butt. Gears of War will be a monster title, GTA 4 on the 360 (which has superior graphics and will be cheaper to own than the ps3 version) Resident Evil 5 same situation as GTA4, Halo 3 enough said this will dominate the game charts all of 2007 and it will severely hurt the Playstation 3 when its released as tons of people will be making their decisions to jump on the 360 bandwagon instead.

[shoota33]

if these crappy xbox 1.5 title where so good i would not see pyramids of the sh!t in every store.your a moron face it ps3 is more powerful live with it gta 4 will look better on ps3 you ingnorant fool.no one is going to buy halo over a ps3 you are really stupid if you believe this.ps3 will sell 3x more than xbox 1.5 just like last time.

[The BS Police]

I know people who would by an XBOX 360 and Halo 3 over a PS3 anyday! PS3 is just to expensive.

[joemutt]

Those pyramids of 360's you keep seeing are empty boxes. They are for display purposes. The real 360's are in the back.

Microsoft has numerous assembly plants, thats why they can produce so many. They dont want to fall short with production again. I am glad to see them on shelves. This christmas when you cant find a PS3, go ahead and get a 360, I know you want one.

[Jay da 2KBalla]

HALO 2 sold more than any other game on any other console in the history of the industry and generated 125 million on its launch day.

[Moostache]

You could buy an XB360 Premium (probably at a reduced price of $349 in spring 2007) and a copy of Halo 3, and a second controller, and a year of XBL, and a recharge pack for the batteries and STILL not spend as much as a single PS3 with NO GAMES, NO BLU-RAY MOVIES, NO SECOND CONTROLLER.

To say something like PS3 will outsell XB360 and Halo3 just based on tech specs, demos and rumors of its "possible" power is really not very bright at all, but more power to you all. Fight the good fight all you want, and please stay off of XBL. You Sony fanboys are not the kind of gamers I would care to meet anyway...

[Unknownunknown]

Much cheaper than a ps3 and just check out the awesome games on the way. If you want to be stupid and pass up the opportunity to be able to play Gears of War, Halo 3, GTA 4, Mass Effect, Forza 2, Fable 2, Blue Dragon, Ninja Gaiden 2, Lost Odyssey, Lost Planet, Resident Evil 5 and many other awesome games available to the 360 and pay more on a ps3 JUST for a blu ray drive and miss out on these games its YOUR problem. I wont try to convince people any further its just shocking how people can be willing to turn down such an awesome deal. I'll say it again if you don't care about getting the most for your money go right ahead and pass up a 360 at such a nice price.

If you feel the ps3 is the better value THEN BUY IT, but don't do so without first weighing your options. Halo is NOT a terrible game don't have people fill your head with nonsense.

[joemutt]

You say everyone passed up the xbox, and in the same sentence you say it sold 25 to 30 million units. Why do you keep owning yourself?

[KoRnALIVE]

Don't buy GTA4 for the PS3.

Rockstar will create downloadable episodic content for the Xbox 360 version.

[The BS Police]

Best of all people with a PS3 won't be getting that GTA downloadable content either!

[shoota33]

im upset that rockstar has to hold back on gta because of the weak powered xbox 1.5 its sad ps3 has to suffer because of this.

[billybob]

why don't you stop spaming this site an dgo wait for your gs3?

[ps3willrule]

i know because sony has top developers and peter over there is begging them for a hand LMAO SQUARE GAVE U A 3 YEAR OLD GAME AND U PLAYED MILLIONS AND IT NEVER SOLD ANY SYSTEMS IN JAPAN LMAO o peter u really know how to give the people what they want.

[billybob]

you really don't have a life do you?

[Moostache]

WOW....an actual comment from this brain surgeon that hasn't been banned as spam yet....I thought such things were in the same rumor category as the working, production model PS3's....you know those 2 million or so that are going to be available at launch and the otehr 2 million more that will materialize in the 6 weeks from launch to the end of 2006 and the 2 million MORE PS3's that will suddenly take 3 months to manufacture by Spring 2007.

I wish someone would explain that math to me like a 7-year old. It sound like a bad SAT question in the States:

If it takes 6 months to produce 2,000,000 PS3's and then only 6 weeks to produce another 2,000,000, how long will it take to make the NEXT 2,000,000 PS3's?

a) 3 months - end of Q1 2007
b) 3 weeks - we are making them much faster now
c) 3 days - if we can make the second million in weeks, when the first million took months, then of course we can make 2,000,000 more in DAYS - didn't Ken hold that press conference yet? Oh, he didn't? Well fear not he will soon....

[billybob]

go find a B F you loser

[KoRnALIVE]

Assassin Creed was the only impressive game for this last year on the PS3 and it's coming for the Xbox 360.

SONY you loose. ;)

[shoota33]

You have zero proof, this was an old rumer and you xbots keep stating it like its a fact we all know you are in love with ps3 exclusives it ok

[joemutt]

I dont have time to find the article for you, because you wouldnt read it anyway, but yes, it is a FACT, not a rumor, it will be on the 360.

[Bam]

How is it that the topic is about rumors and it has turned into a debate over which system is better. PS3 is not even out yet but PS3 fanboys claim it is better than everything out now. And 360 fanboys talk crap about the same system that I repeat is not out yet. I will hold my comments and decision till they are both out on the market and I can decide for myself.

[KoRnALIVE]

for this last year E3*
