GTA IV 360 Exclusive confirmed!?

Ceric · « **Reply #2201 on:** July 17, 2007, 06:27:17 AM »

Nah, They just needn't bother. The video would be already shown at the MS event and they had given them some developement money to boot.

Also I just got a PS3 because I wanted the EE chip, Blu-Ray, and Media streaming. Poor thing will probably never have a full game owned specifically for it. Rented but not owned.

You mean you don't want to play Resistance Fall of Creativity or Ninja Gaiden Rehash 3?

I'm ok with just playing the demos.

Oh GP I know your are big 360 advocate. I just wanted to reassure you that I'm just biding my time until the new revision comes and Too Human.

I really hope the game has improved from a year ago (which it probably has). Mass Effect by Bioware is looking great as well.

I've read that Too Human has come a long way.... too bad the E3 trailer was absolutely pointless. Pretty cool (like the MGS4 trailer), but m-f-ing pointless. Show some gameplay, dammit!

Mashiro · « **Reply #2206 on:** July 17, 2007, 10:14:08 AM »

Too Human BETTER have come a long way! It's only been in development since the PSX days

Mashiro · « **Reply #2207 on:** July 17, 2007, 07:00:31 PM »

Looks like Sony has more up its sleeve.

Ceric · « **Reply #2208 on:** July 18, 2007, 03:35:11 AM »

Doesn't look to bad. Not really interesting except FFXIII.

Also Too Human is being developed, like Duke Nukem Forever, on the Fine Wine principle.

Though thats why I'm waiting on that system. I have to say streaming media from my Machine to the PS3 is a nice thing in my house.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #2209 on:** July 18, 2007, 08:58:34 AM »

The lack of a GTA trailer could mean big things. If the PS3 continues to flop around could MS afford to make GTA4 exclusive and completely bury Sony?

Ceric · « **Reply #2210 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:27:43 PM »

Just for Ironies sake. On the Pllaystation network their is a trailer for GTA. Its called E3 Trailer 2. I have not interest in the game really but I downloaded it anyway. Maybe I'll get to watch it tonight.

Alright, so Konami's secret, poetic announcement turned out not to be Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Xbox 360. It turned out to be Silent Hill 5 (which is actually bigger news for some people). Still, a good rumor never dies (and a great rumor comes true). While the MGS4 360 rumor has yet to come true, a reliable tipster tells us that Official Xbox Magazine has taken it upon themselves to toss another log on the fire. In the most recent Rumor Mole section, OXM declares that a "bankable source" told them that Metal Gear Solid 4 is definitely coming to Xbox 360. The game is reportedly being ported by a separate team -- which isn't headed by Hideo Kojima -- and should ship "a few months" after the PS3 version.

Considering the ever-mounting rumors and Konami's own comments on the matter, it's starting to look like the only thing missing is an official announcement.

Sony and Nintendo Make Akiba Store Switcheroo

Thanks for linking to that story. I saw the pics earlier and had no idea what they were about since I don't read japanese.
That is some pretty good news.... for Nintendo

couchmonkey · « **Reply #2214 on:** July 20, 2007, 06:14:53 AM »

Everyone knows that Nintendo has won Japan. The only people who haven't accepted it are Sony/MS fanboys and naysayer Nintendo fans.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #2215 on:** July 20, 2007, 06:39:33 AM »

I think the MS fanboys have accepted it, they are more concentrated on trying to keeping Sony fanboys down at their level. Sony fanboys are still riding the "wait till this game" train, and hopefully it will be derailed soon enough (Minna No Golf 5 launches this up coming week, next is MGS 4 & then FFXIII). All the naysayer Nintendo fans just need to get with the program, Japan = Nintendoland "."

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #2216 on:** July 20, 2007, 11:12:12 AM »

Sony fans acknowledge the poor performance of the PS3, but they insist that it will pull ahead eventually. After all, Sony has stated they are in for the long haul and that it will have a 10 year life.

Whether this is true or not is anyone's guess, but Sony fans buy it.

Kairon · « **Reply #2217 on:** July 20, 2007, 11:25:02 AM »

There is no Nintendoland without third parties.

Speaking of third parties:

Capcom Unhappy with Sony Hardware Sales

Kairon · « **Reply #2219 on:** July 20, 2007, 12:16:26 PM »

But Capcom is happy with Microsoft Software sales.

capamerica · « **Reply #2220 on:** July 20, 2007, 01:48:05 PM »

Maybe now that Capcom is finally realizing how bad the PS3 and PSP are doing maybe now they will start supporting the DS and Wii better.

Ceric · « **Reply #2221 on:** July 20, 2007, 02:05:47 PM »

Global the 360 isn't doing bad par se. Though I am surprised by the PSP comment it really isn't doing to bad at all with all things considered.

Well, actually with all things considered, including all those predictions that it was going to completely blow Nintendo out of the handheld market, I'd say it's doing rather poorly. I don't care squat about anything else. Everyone talked up the XBox as if it were this massive coup last generation, even though it barely outsold the GC. Whereas Nintendo was seen as a colossal failure. I don't give a damn what kind of connotations or exceptions you want to tack on to it, the PSP is getting spanked by the DS and that is a fact. Being outsold 2 to 1 by a severally weaker competitor is simply appalling.

PSP hardware install is fine. PSP software sales are... aside from one or two standout titles, not so hot.

Still, you have to give the PSP props. It's survived much longer than the GameGear.

True. The PSP has been far more successful in every respect than any other Non-Nintendo handheld to date, and that really says something. The Gamegear was the only other serious contender, and they've got them beat.

However, they didn't crush Nintendo's dominance of this market, and with the the way things are going it seems likely Nintendo will dominate the next handheld generation as well. Backwards support is the key.
