The Power of Lies

This opinion piece from gameplayer examines one key competitive advantage Sony has over Microsoft: lies.

"To gamers, Haze was the biggest disappointment of the year. But for Sony, Haze served its purpose perfectly - it generated loads and loads of hype."

[Breakfast]

The Power of the Cell?

[cellypower]

Killzone 2 would like to have word with you.

[zapass]

GT5P too
MGS4 too
LBP too
etc...

I'll stop here cuz it's already way enough to prove that the lies are coming from developers who are challenged (to stay polite) while the really good ones do deliver.

nothing comes even close to these games and as we all know, there's much more to come.

wanna talk about lies?
how about all these months of massive bullsh!t about RROD stats in the media? yeah like "only 3 or 4% failure rate" while it's 10x in reality?

these are real lies and real coksuckas who buy them.
time to cut the crap and get real, buddy

[n00bzRtehgey]

wow. and it only took about 6 years to make each of these games. are you SURE they are finally coming out... when is it again? NEXT YEAR? lmao.

[LoVeRSaMa]

Lies are Very powerful, take M$ for instance =]

[Solid_Snake666]

JUST LIKE TOO HUMAN WAS IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 10+ YEARS AND SUCKED...NOT EVEN AS GOOD AS PS2 GRAPHICS

[BLUR111]

^^ Guess you believe the media all the time, well that was a lie about too human dev and not a fact.

Let me guess you might also believe that 9/11 was done by *terroist* ..sure that is what our beloved goverment tells you as soon as that happend, just do a little trick with the 20$ bill

...lol

[n00bzRtehgey]

Blur, don't expect these morons to know about the Bush Regime blowing-up WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 when they can't even figure-out Fony's lies.

[BLUR111]

Yea. it's just sad though how they always believe every little thing they hear

[Poor Xbots]

stupid article

[PimpHandHappy]

is it really a lie to create hype for a game? Come on ppl this is stupid and shows the problems with gaming media today! Its sick to think of making hype for a game is a lie to ppl! Finish the fight was a lie then!

The biggest lie ever was MS telling everyone they had a fail rate of 3%! If they told the truth about that one year into the life cycle they would be in third place today!

[prunchess]

when i read the line "we're not asking Microsoft to sink to Sony's Level"!

That site has no shame, Microsoft aren't the worlds most fined company fo no reason!

gameplayer.com.au - you truly suck ass with the best of them!

[Gam71]

M$ might be the most fined but thats due to the high amount of a small number of fines. £ony on the other hand are the most sued company of all time.

Type sony sued by into google and tell me what comes up.

You know why they are sued so often, the steal other peoples property then lie about it

http://uk.gamespot.com/page...

[prunchess]

Any Joe soap can bring a spurious case against a company claiming they've being ripped off. Most cases don't even make it as far as court and are thrown out. It is the cases that are upheld that count.

I've been in the games and PC trade since 1990. Microsoft are in a league of their own when it come to multinationals being fined and SUCCESSFULLY sued.

BTW Did you check to see how many hits you got for "Microsoft sued" when you put it in google?

[Gam71]

How many times have £ony been successfully sued?
How many times have they settled out of court?
How many times this gen?
More than anyone else.

And it's not just their gaming division.

Also the only spurious case I can think of involving £ony is when they sued Lik-Sang.
Don't like imports cos they can't rip-off the owners of their products then. (europe)

[TheDude2dot0]

@1.4

I can say that Microsoft has been the most sued company and that they are now in debt. Does that mean it's correct? It could be if I game some EVIDENCE. Notice that the all caps on "evidence" makes it seem more important.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

i Dont understand why haze scored soooo badly,the only thing wrong with it is the twitchy aiming system and weird..glitchy cut-scenes.

But the online is great,very addictive.tho it shouldnt of been so hyped.I really like Haze,i still play it alot.

[t-0_ot-]

Oh, please...

[ThatCanadianGuy]

please what? your b!tching about a game i thought was decent?

and why do you stalk me with your dumbass replies?
do you wuv me little tooty fruity?

[silverchode]

who sold more haze or ng2.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Ninja Gaiden has gone gold in one month and is about to hit 620,000 and is rated an average of 8.3. Haze sold 350,000 in three months and had average score of 5.6.

Ninja Gaiden 2 sales: http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

Haze sales: http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

Ninja Gaiden 8.3: http://www.gamerankings.com...

Haze 5.6: http://www.gamerankings.com...

Ninja Gaiden 2 has sold more than Ridge Racer 7, UT3, Virtua Fighter 5, Sing Star, Call of Duty 3, Hot Shots, The Darkness, Warhawk, Turok, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Condemned 2, Test Drive Unlimited, Tomb Raider: Legend, Battlefield: Bad Company, FEAR, Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars 3, Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2, Major League Baseball 2K8, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, Blue Dragon, Dark Sector, Condemned: Criminal Origins, and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

There were about 30 more.

[I_killed_TheMart]

to be honest, sony did under deliver with motorstorm, killzone 2...there biggest problem is target renders. And yet they still fail to realize it

[gundamx]

i enjoyed it. yeh it was a little bit short but i rekn it was fairly gd

[SmokingMonkey]

still better than PERFECT DARK ZERO
the only difference is RARE is a 1st party developer

[poopsack]

dont you know

haze was decent is the only thing thats illegal to say on the internet.

My cousin loves it though.

[mesh1]

perfdark was a ;uach title rare has said there we no 360 dev tools at that time but then haze which was hyped to be a halo 3killa (hhaha nothing is better than halo 3 this gen tbh) flopped after being released 2and half years laterwith all dev tools available and still perfect dark wasa better game than haze .

[juuken]

...-.-

[eagles1990]

agreed

[eagles1990]

Who keeps approving these fanboy articles? I don't care how someone thinks Sony is full of lies or how some woman thinks the PS3 is winning because her son brought a ps3. Can't someone post some real news for once?

[gamesR4fun]

meh just look at the approve list and who posted it just the usual losers trying to ruin the site for the rest of us.

[Gam71]

If you don't want fanboy articles then all of them have to be banned.

There are so many more slating M$ and the 360 which are from fanboys but most of the people on here complain take those articles as gospel.

You lot only complain when it's having a go at £ony.
Ninty or M$ are far game.

Double standards.

[GarandShooter]

And I want to know what douchebag wrote this..'This opinion piece from gameplayer examines one key competitive advantage Sony has over Microsoft: lies.'

Because the article says..'The whole Haze debacle has demonstrated one key area in which Sony is better than Microsoft: hype.'

Check any dictionary and you won't find hype and lie as synonyms.

I'm looking at you Mok Swagger...are you the vessel full of vinegar and water?

[Premonition]

The biggest lie i saw out of this whole thing was the term "built from the ground up for the PS3". They need to go back to the drawing boards cause ive seen games built from the ground up for the PS3 and this isn't one of them.

"THE ARTICLE SAYS THAT GEARS OF WAR2 LOOKS BETTER THAN KILLZONE LOL!!!!!!!! I NEEDED A LAUGH"

They aren't the only one. 1up says the exact same thing.

The power of lies > The power of the cell!

Don't even call this site an "xbot" site because they have had more negative 360/MS stories than any other australian website.

[reincarnated]

LOL U CAN ALSO TELL THE WORLD I LIKE PIZZA WHILE YOUR AT IT

[silverchode]

1up did say that in late 07.

[Mr BlueScreen]

Yea, and Microsoft didn't spend millions of dollars hyping a little game called Halo 3. Look how lame that game turn out to be. This article is not just a epic fail its also a falling down the stairs flop.

Sony didn't spend money hyping Haze. The only people that hyped Haze would be the consumers them self's. I am one of them. Sorry.

[NMC2007]

while I do not care for the Halo franchise you CAN NOT deny it's MASSIVE success, and just because there are people who do not think it deserves the success you must realize that millions of people do and they bought the game and are still playing it today.

Haze on the other hand was a massive disappointment, I am sure that there are way more people who were disappointed by Haze than that of whom were totally satisfied.

[Cenobia]

@7.1 - But Microsoft did hype Halo, and it didn't meet a lot of peoples expectations. It's true that it sold like hotcakes, but single player wasn't what a lot of people were hoping.

Haze is a retarded example of Sony "lying." I don't think Sony really hyped the game at all. It certainly wasn't as extensive as Halo 3's marketing campaign. All console makers over hype their games (or as he calls it "lie").

This article is fudging stupid. The entire website should be wiped off the face of the internet.

[Mr BlueScreen]

I do not think Halo is a MASSIVE Success story. Halo is just another generic shooter and only people who have played games for a long time know that.
Im sorry you think im drunk.( I don't drink, I like to keep my mind fresh) but why are there so many young people playing halo? Answer: they have never played a real GOOD game. That pluse Microsoft Shoves Halo down everyone's throats every two seconds.(Burger King reference)

And don't you know that Sony has nothing to due with Ubisoft?

[vdesai]

Face it Halo is a wanna be Half-Life no matter how much you say no its not gonna change it does not deserve the recognition that it got. There I said it, I'm just saying what everyone is thinking. Half-Life = Grown up game, Halo = Kiddy half-life appetizer.

[farsided]

What is half life's multiplayer though? counter strike? tf2? (if you ask me tf2 is a lot more "kiddy" than halo) you would have been closer in comparing halo to the unreal tournament series in style of gameplay, even then there's the separation between the pc and console markets. halo is a massive success, it set quite a few records upon its debut, walked away with an impressive 9.5/10, and at this point it is the most played game on xbl (recently surpassing cod4, which you would be more accurate in comparing to counter strike), and comparing it to half life (just because the two have aliens in them/they're both fps's) is pretty lame (even though half life is an extremely solid series, it just isn't very comparable to halo as far as style of gameplay goes, they're just too different)

sure i think this article is bs, every company makes hype (hell look at kane and lynch...now that was lying!), but a lot of times it just comes down to looking at reviews/videos for yourself rather than listening to what marketing teams have to say about their own game.

btw...i did see a ton of haze commercials (nearly as many as i saw halo commercials) sponsored by sony, so saying they didn't spend money hyping haze is false.

[vdesai]

Half life has its own independent online and those are all source engine based online games. The Source engine is Half-Life engine it is not the game. Now if you are misinformed I understand but if you are ignorant and just wanted to gloat, you fail. Don't speak before you know what you are talking about.

[farsided]

what you just said makes zero sense. compile your sentences better before you start talking. i am not gloating, i am saying that halo was very successful, it is not a kiddy half life appetizer game (it's rated M! and it is in fact the most played game on xbl), and that while all things related to valve and their source engine (be more specific!) are extremely good and very successful, as far as i know, there are not any games that massively available on the console market that are very similar in style of gameplay to halo 3. Even if there was half life multiplayer on the 360, it would be more comparable in style of gameplay to cod4 (which is also very successful) unless you are talking about tf2, which is a complete style of its own (and the fact that the last time i checked there were only a few hundred people playing it vs a few thousand on halo says something too).

[GUNS N SWORDS]

yeah well halo 3 still practically beats HAZE, in both resolution and in story, and it pretty much has a WAYYYYYYY better sound track.

[vdesai]

"What is half life's multiplayer though? counter strike? tf2?"
My last comment was the answer to that question. Now open your mind gaming is not isolated to consoles, if you want to compare games to PC games don't conveniently forget the PC when you don't want to include it.

[dantesparda]

Are you drunk?

while I do not care for the Wii you CAN NOT deny it's MASSIVE success, and just because there are people who do not think it deserves the success you must realize that millions of people do and they bought the system and are still playing it today.

The moral of this story is sales do not equate good, sales usually equal popularity, that's all. As a matter of fact, i would argue that usually the biggest selling sh!t is some of the worst sh!t out there. Just look at NSync, Backstreet boys, New Kids on the Block, Britney Spears, American Idol, Wii, DS, Wiifit, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Halo 3, George Bush being elected twice, etc, etc. And the list goes on. If sale numbers indicated how good something really is, then Mario is far better than Halo. And Wii is much better than 360. And DS smokes em all, and lets not forget the PSP either. The sales logic is really, really dumb, simple minded people logic.

And p.s. Halo 3 sucks bad, it sucks real bad, major letdown, part one was by far the best Halo out there. And I've beaten all 3, and each one just got worst and i hate the online component of Halo 3 even more than the single player component. I think Halo 3's online component is one of the worst online games out there period, i dont care what anybody says, it sucks! And if you think im just bulsh!tting, just check my gamertag. Halo 1 was a good game for its time, really good, Halo 3, Ha! mediocre crap! Overhyped by every fanboy buffoon there is out there

[farsided]

christ you're a moron! i already said halo was more comparable to the unreal series (which is pc based, oh wow didn't i also mention cs which is on the pc as well?) how's that open minded for you? but guess what? you were too busy being off in your "everybody is close minded" rant to notice! even still, the vast majority of gamers can't afford to throw 1000 dollar updates into their computers every other year, and as a result, they stick to consoles, which multiplayer half life or whatever you obviously haven't specified clearly isn't available on. wanna call me a little kid cuz i'm in the same boat as most, and as a result am very indifferent to the pc crowd of games, because it's a waste of my money? that's what i call close minded!

comparing half life to halo is like comparing assassin's creed to splinter cell (they may both be about sneaking around, but they're so vastly different that it's pointless)

get it straight: both are good in their own right, both have a massive following, and both are successful, and frankly i love all of hl2 single player content (i was just playing it this past weekend), but sitting here touting your pc fanboyism because it's for "adults" is utter bs.

and @7.10 if halo 3 sucks so bad, how come after almost 10 months is it the #1 most played game on xbl? it couldn't possibly be because it's actually a good game, rather than your suggestion that everyone is just a halo fanboy is it?

[Gam71]

Halo's success is it's multiplayer which is still the most played on xbl.

It's the £ony fans who don't like it and thats out of jealousy.
I guarantee if it was announced for ps3 you would all be singing it's praises (bioshock anyone)

The single player was great.
A lot of fun and the last level really got the adrenaline pumping. Might be generic but sometimes when you buy a sequel you buy it because you liked the first one and want more of the same. The single player in co-op was so much fun as well.

I know you can say well cod4 was better. Thats your opinion not fact, but I played both in single, multiplayer and co-op over xbl and do you know what that means.
I had the choice to play both. You don't. You're stuck with haze. A bland, even more generic, delayed, hyped, last gen shooter.

If you can't play games don't hate them for that. Halo 3 was a success and the vast majority of people that actually bought it enjoyed it than didn't. The only people you hear hating it are those from the £ony end who didn't buy (though i'm sure they will all be on here saying the did and still didn't like it but i thought no ps3 owner would ever buy a 360?) the ninty lot don't seem to hate it.

Know why, it's not a threat to their machine.

[prunchess]

Are you sure about Halo being the most played on xbl? I thought COD4 held that title.

[Gam71]

It was until last week when halo reclaimed it.

[TheDude2dot0]

If Halo 3 had come out for PS3, I wouldn't have bought it. Halo 1 on the other hand, I would have bought. Having online doesn't make a game. The game being fun, fresh, and well made, makes a good game. Saying that a lot of people bought something isn't a real sign of it being good. It could still be crap.

[kittoo]

I thought gameplayer was a credible and unbiased site.....

[Snukadaman]

step back before you get sucked into that vortex.

[games4fun]

i never knew it was sony who made this game i was under the impression it was from ubisoft, maybe its just me or maybe its because i would use facts when i write an article. If sony wanted to generate hype they would have marketed MGS4 a lot more.

the following is opinion but i didnt write an article about it:
its also laughable that he said gears 2 looks better than killzone 2, killzone 2 currently looks better and is almost garunteed to since it comes out a month or two later than gears.

All this did was open up more fanboyism if msoft saying they had a 3% failure rate isnt lies to keep up the hype i dont know what is, point is all sides are at fault for something, nintendo in the early days of the wii tried to act like it could do awesome graphics and keep up with the ps3/360

[proArchy]

I don't really recall all that much hype around Haze. Near the beginning of its existence I remember there being a little, but for the most part the game spent most of its time under the hype radar. Also, saying that Killzone2 looks equal to Gears2 I could handle, but its my personal opinion that this guy is batsh!t crazy if he thinks Killzone looks like trash. The animation is solid, graphics are solid, and the multiplayer looks like I finally will have a reason to drop CoD4 for a while. Just another one-sided editorial from someone trying to sell opinions as facts.

[solsub]

We need more tools like this writing editorials! Let's ruin the industry together!

[DiabloRising]

The media feeds and generates hype just as much as Sony, MS, or Nintendo does. And the fans feed into it, and help it grow. We are ALL to blame. But to single out Sony just reeks of typical Sony Hatorade that the media loves to spew. I could at the same time bash MS's lack of originality, Nintendo's turning its back on its fanbase, and more.

These articles are silly, silly fanboy fodder.

[Max Power]

right my fellow gaming compatriot!

[Max Power]

just wow. i think this guy has mental problems to be taking all of this that personally.

[Aclay]

Another Xbox 360 fanboy article.

That Killzone 2 trailer was a "target video", it was never meant to be perceived as actual in-game footage. Basically Guerrilla Games set the bar very high and they wanted to show people what they wanted to achieve in Killzone 2 in terms of graphics.

As far as Gears 2 looking better than Killzone 2, that's a joke. Killzone 2 is still far off from being released, and since Killzone 2 got pushed to Feb. 2009, Guerrilla has more time to polish the HELL out of the game.

And if you want to talk about hype, Microsoft is the king of hyping up game titles, just look at what they did for Halo 3.... Halo 3 on Mountain Dew cans?!

When it comes to Sony's games, I think that the media tends to hype up the games more than Sony themselves.

[t-0_ot-]

@AclayPS3 - "That Killzone 2 trailer was a "target video", it was never meant to be perceived as actual in-game footage." No? Then why did they say it was In-Game footage?

[PirateThom]

Does it matter?

They exceed it anyway.

[Halochampian]

what are you talking about?!!?

[mistertwoturbo]

"Then why did they say it was In-Game footage? "

They never said it was in-game footage. Jack Trentton was referring to the Resistance in-game footage.

Secondly, only 360 fanboys are the ones that keeps using that same excuse over and over again.

Then the actual Killzone 2 videos are pouring out now, which surpasses the E3 2005 trailer in many different aspects.

[treereet]

Waaaaaaa? Was Haze even hyped much? I don't remember hearing much about it until it got a 4.5 from IGN. and wasn't Ubisoft the publisher? How is that Sony's marketing department.

Not only that but Gears graphics makes Killzone graphics look like school fete? I mean Gears looks great but Killzone looks pretty great too. The graphics actually looks better than the original trailer in many regards.

And didn't Microsoft play a CG trailer to announce Halo 3.

[farsided]

nope, bungie stated that it was in game footage, much like their cutscenes which actually feature the character models. now there was one they released later on with the kids and the bubble shield that was rendered...

[RAM MAGNUMS]

I think some people bought halo3 because of target renders?
nope same old graphics.
KillZone Fckn Kills in graphics.
Hold on let me quit playing warhawk for a second

how did a self-proclaimed "opinion piece" get approved for this site? N4G has it rock bottom. nothing in it was even loosely based on any facts whatsoever. and that shouldn't be labeled as an article. it's an insult to legit stories. it should be labled a fanboy rant if anything.

[Gam71]

It goes with all the other "opinion piece" which get approved by £ony fans daily that are acceptable.

Listening to the hypocrisy on here is astounding.

All of a sudden opinions are bad?
These type of articles should be banned?
who approved this?

I'll tell you what happened to N4G. It became a ps3 fans site.
Pro £ony anti M$.

I guarantee when an anti-M$ or pro £ony article is put up later today (it will happen) all the people here saying all of the above will be quiet.

Well not quiet but shouting about how it proves £ony is best and M$ suck.

[TheDude2dot0]

@Gam71

Why do you keep calling it £ony?

E =/= S

PS: Look at the title of this article. Read the article. This is not news. This is a fanboy rant full of garble. This should not have been approved.

[Ps3Fanboy777]

*Snooze.

[silverchode]

i think a bigger lie was that the 360 didnt have hardware problems. also sony said it would have 4d and 120fps but its not really a lie till this console generation is over, who knows maybe in a couple of years the ps3 might get a 120fps game with 4d.

[Mr Marbles]

b4 that happens Sony will at least need to get games running on PS3 at the same level as 360, consistantly. Since they are having such a strougle with 720p and 60fps, i dont see 4d and 120fps happening anytime soon.

[mistertwoturbo]

It doesn't seem like people understand the whole "4D Gaming" thing.

4D gaming is referring to real-time changes in atmosphere or even physical things. Which is something we've already been playing all along.

Just like Motorstorm, when you drive around the track and split the mudd. You go around the track in the same location and split the mudd even further. Then lap after lap etc.

Fry Cry 2 could also be a good example of "4D gaming" where the weather , plants, and trees all change according to time. A small seed will grow to be a big tree. Something that was not possible on previous generation consoles.

But to have real-time events like those, is what's the theory behind "4D gaming"

So think about 2D. You look at the game directly. Then 3D, you can look around the world. So the only thing next is 4D which is referring to time and space.

[silverchode]

kojima did say he wanted to make a game where the enviroment changes as time passes so maybe his next project will have some 4d elements to it.

[1stKnighT]

"...Fry Cry 2 could also be a good example of "4D gaming" where the weather , plants, and trees all change according to time."

I guess you can say the first Fable was the first to do 4D since it did all that.

[bunbun777]

I look at the 4th dimension in terms of duration- and since time is the way we measure duration, as it affects the 3rd dimension LxWxH, then 4-d gaming would be the complete end of cycled, replayed games. Imagine a video game that out of the box has the capacity to display EVERYTHING you've ever played on it saved to the game. Every bullet hole, every corpse- and then you wipe the board when you so choose. that's 4-d gaming in my mind, just a closer synthesis of virtual life.

edit- ARGH oh well

They said there still ahead in Europe when Grand theft Auto IV was out and they said there going to win back Europe after reshuffle and they said there going to invest to win in Europe

"Subsequent trailers of working builds running on actual PS3s have been far less impressive. The latest trailer for Gears of War 2 makes Killzone 2 look like a school fete in comparison. But Microsoft can thank Epic Games for that injection of interest, not their own marketing department. "
i m no expert but is it really true that gears 2 is much much better than killzone 2?
thanks

[fablib]

I start to raise the problem of Sony Lies months ago...
They have managed to cheat million people (including myself) only thanks to their lies... They lied pratically on everything: from hardware capabilities to software line up...
And people still believe them...

The truth is that Sony had delivered an avarage, expensive & not developers friendely platform that still today struggle to reach the level of 1 year old xbox360' games (Bioshock.. 4 teams of developers only to try to match 1 year old 360 version.. with mandatory installation...).

I recentely bought an Xbox360... Great machine, thousand great game!!!
PS3 owners leave Sony to their fate of lies.. And start being videogamers!!! Open your eyes!!!

[rakgi]

wow what a fanboy

[THAMMER1]

SONY has not delivered a game that matched all the hype until MGS4. If you look at all the crap fan boys have been spewing as a result of SONY over hyping it just add insult to injury with every lack luster games and delay of critical features like HOME.

[Common Sense]

Ratchet looks like a Pixar movie.
Heavenly sword had 1000 enemies on screen at once.
Uncharted was the best looking game till MGS4.
GT5P ran at 1080p at 60fps.
Killzone 2 matched and surpassed the target video.
Resistance 2 matched the teaser trailer.

I am one satisfied PS3 owner and to me, that's all that matters.
I've enjoyed Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and Warhawk and I will buy MGS4, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, GoW3, and inFamous.

[Dolemite]

Yeh you have to admit. Haze REALLY SUCKED. Before it came out everyone was talking about how it "couldn't lose!" and listing it as a reason to buy the PS3.

KZ2 might be good, just not as impressive as GEARS2.

[DFresh]

Xbots are totally in denial.
MS lies way more than Sony.
MS lied about fixing the hardware issues w/ the 360's RROD.
MS lied about the fake advertising of 1080P games played on the 360.
MS lied about being long term w/ the 1st Xbox and was discontinued after 4 years and 1 year after that in 2005 the 360 was released.
MS lied about Vista claiming it can do all these features and it didn't deliver.
MS promised to show Halo, Alan Wake, and Splinter Cell Conviction at E3 2008 but didn't deliver and all those titles got pushed back until 2009.
MS promised to support all their old products and failed on their promise.
Where's the 1st Xbox?
Where's Windows XP?
Where's anymore commercials of the Zune?
Where's any new Microsoft products for that matter?
Instead of getting on Sony's ass why don't you look at the big picture with what Microsoft is doing to this gaming and electronics industry.
I can understand Haze and Lair didn't live up to the hype but what about Too Human, Crack Down, Hour of Victory.
Come on now Silicon Knights spent 10 years developing this Too Human game and now they couldn't live up to the hype after a decade of making this game.
I thought Crack Down was going to be ground breaking for the 360.
What happened there?
People complain too much to Sony about losing exclusives what about the 360.
Remember Bioshock?
Remember Mass Effect?
Remember GRAW 2?
Remember Elder Scrolls Oblivion?
Remember Eterna Sonata?
I can go on all day.
Sony may have lost FFXIII as an exclusive but Microsoft lost a lot more than Sony did for that one game stolen from the PS3.
Let's not forget FFXIII Versus and FFVII Remake are still PS3 Exclusive.
Also FFXIII doesn't come out until 1 year after the PS3 Version does.
PS3 FFXIII comes out 2009 so that means the 360 FFXIII comes out in 2010.
All you guys need to stop sucking Microsoft's d*** and actually think like a human being instead of a fan boy for once in your life.
I'll admit I like Gears of War, Banjo Kazooie and so forth but I know treachery and lies when I see it.
