True, it'll come to 360 eventually if not same day as PS3. Thank God EA isn't developing it though. :) Never played the first, was it any good?
Honestly I didn't buy the PS3 version being delayed when I saw the new "confirmation" from Midway. The PS3 version was the first version to be shown and they've had it up and running on the PS3 engine since E3 '05 so Epic should be pretty familiar with how to program the PS3. That and they're probably one of the studios that is most familiar with multi-core programming. Mark Rein said the other day that they were wanting to make UT3 their flagship title for the PS3 like Gears was...
Sony has said they've never ponied up cash, can't find the quote but they've always refused to do that. They don't "moneyhat" titles to make them exclusive. I believe it was Kaz Hirai that said this in an interview, does anyone remember the particular one?
I don't have a 360 so I haven't seen DVD's on it yet. DVD's look fine on my PS3, I'd be interested in seeing this group run the same test on it. I've run DVD's on my standalone Toshiba DVD player that has progressive scan (not upscaling) so they should both look the same, and they do.
Are there any 360 owners on here that have seen jaggies on their DVD's? Let's get some user opinions on this. Maybe MS really does need to fix the playback. Of course it's a game console, but...
More games is always a plus and I'm pretty sure the game will sell well on PS3, but it's just not my type of game anymore. I've just grown tired of GTA style games, and I won't be buying the next GTA either. Now, if/when news comes out about some games for 360 that I'm actually interested in like Mass Effect and Bioshock (this one is already rumored to be PS3 bound), then I'll be happy.
Not surprising. This has been a rumor for a long time anyway. I'm tired of this type of game but I know a lot of Playstation fans will enjoy the GTA style gameplay. Anyway, maybe I'll check out the demo if they put one out.
14.2- I'm not saying it's a good game, I'm just saying that the "Only on Xbox 360" doesn't mean a thing. I could see a bunch of Xbox 360 games moving over to PS3 as well: Saints Row, Lost Planet (more of a long shot on this one as I think Microsoft has it tied up pretty well), Dead Rising, Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc. Get used to it, exclusives are going to be rare at least for a while. First party size and quality will matter more this generation than ever.
Remember when the "Only on Xbox 360" sticker was on Enchanted Arms? That's being released on PS3 in March. But the other point that you were making is correct, all of the consoles have too low of a userbase for companies to sink millions of dollars into at this point. They're better off making multiplatform releases now, and then going exclusive later when there's a clear winner.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if any of these jumped consoles. Games are just too expensive right now for the publishers to sink so much money into when each console has such a low installed base. But yeah, just based on these statements, the DMC4 to Xbox 360 rumor seems to be squashed.
Thank you very much for adding the ignore feature. I've been asking for it for a while as have others I'm sure, so I'm glad that it's finally here. Site looks great, looking forward to the new changes.
You could very well be right, I'm just saying I wouldn't be completely surprised if Bioware figured a nuance in the contract that allowed them to bring Mass Effect to the PS3. I'm thinking it's maybe a new iteration of KOTOR, Jade Empire, or something along those lines. I doubt it would be a PS3 exclusive at this point though, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Troll much?
Good news, although I haven't played any PS2 games since I got the PS3. Been too busy playing Resistance, Ridge Racer 7, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
Have you seen the "Only on Xbox 360" sticker on Enchanted Arms? Yeah, that's coming to PS3. Exclusives are going to be very hard to come by this early in the game with all consoles having a low installed base. You'll see that more in a couple years I think, if at all. Games are getting too expensive to make.
It's about time we saw some new environments on this one. Looking good.
Yeah and Bill Gates tears cure cancer.
Xtrm L1481L1TY- Agree with your comments until number 23 in the last sentence. We'll see what happens over the next year or so. The Wii sales are completely expected by me. It's a cheap system, appeals to kids, and was on sale at Christmas. The real test for Wii is in the next several years, or if it gets some more good games in the next year.
"Speaking on the console wars, Gates told an interviewer prior to his speech, "It's a complete reversal of last time. Last time, we tried coming in a year late with a big, clunky box that cost more and having less titles. We tried that and it's not that much fun." He added, "Sony is our most direct competitor. Our goal was to not be Sony, not be a big box, not be expensive.''"
And people say Sony is arrogant... I didn't think Gates would go that low. ...
I agree completely. Sony has the Jak and Daxter series, Ratchet and Clank, MGS, DMC (at least for now), Socom, ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Devs, Resistance, Factor 5's Lair (as well as future iterations) and their EDI games, F1 games, Motorstorm (future iterations as well), God of War, etc.... First party devs will be extremely important this gen, Nintendo will rely on them even more than Sony, IMO, as it will be harder and harder for devs to develop cross platform between PS3/Xbox 360 and W...
100 first party titles in the works, however, I'm thinking the number of actual disc based games is probably half that, which is not bad considering these are only the first party games.
Microgamer- What in the heck are you talking about? How can having a large game library coming be a bad thing? You are forgetting that Sony's first party studios are probably at twice the size of Nintendo's and Microsoft's combined. They have plenty of first party resources to dedicate to ...
It's probably going to the 360, get over it man. It's not the end of the world, do you really think it's going to be that great? Granted I didn't play the first one but I don't remember it being a huge system seller or anything. But yes, they did say it's exclusively for PS3, but I really don't think that means anything other than they haven't announced the 360 version yet.
