Starship Troopers is the most hilarious movie i've ever seen in my life.

back to topic.

it's great that NCsoft signed a few deals with Sony. City of Heroes, City of Villains, Guild Wars, etc. they make great MMO's and if there is indeed a Starship Troopers style MMO coming to PS3 from them, i'd buy it and pay monthly to play it.

TriggerHappy5944d ago

Yeah you right. Even though only artworks have been released at this point:

They do really looking interesting. It is somewhat similar to the upcoming Star Wars game. Well hope we get to hear more about this at GDC

destroyah5944d ago (Edited 5944d ago )

not hard to believe really M$ shafted Xbox owners and forced them to buy a 360 and now they're forcing even more people to buy a 720 which means, just like they did with the Xbox, they'll drop support on 360. Sony consoles are future proof. look at the PS2. launched before the GameCube and the Xbox and it's still living on.

sonarus5944d ago (Edited 5944d ago )

ps2 is very profitable i doubt sony would have continued support if it wasnt profitable xbox and game cube werent so profitable. I still strongly believe that not only does sony have everything it takes to win the generation of consoles(wii included) i believe it will. They just need to get their act to gether with all the delays with games, and quality of games being worse on ps3 e.t.c. They have the best line up in 2008 and it looks like nc soft might be trying to add something to that line up. Home needs to get released asap i believe it can draw potential customers not necessarily a system seller on its own but all these things added together will show ps3 as the dominant platform. Essentially everyone now says its xbox live that keeps them with xbox i stopped paying for gold membership a while back but i have to admit in this regard the 360 is significantly superior to the ps3. In fact software wise it was just a better designed console the live blades and the windows media extender as well as the ability to stream music and all is all done so much better on the xbox however with the release of home they can topple xbox live and all they need is an update for some kind of media player to arrange music and videos nicely and obviously and in game xmb update and they are good to go.

shoved bluray down peoples throats...

for NCsoft`s titles to start coming out.

FREE MMOs are a GREAT idea for consoles.

mighty_douche5944d ago

meh.... rumours never seem to come true.

bootsielon5944d ago

It seems that Microsoft wants to release a 720 before they are miserably beaten everywhere. I bet the 360 sheep will buy it immediately and buy even more games than before since that is all they have to spend their money in.

The Halo Wars Formula Has Potential to Fit More Microsoft Franchises

Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb402d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni401d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay38d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic711d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure711d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade710d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.

I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.

Popsicle987d ago (Edited 987d ago )

Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!

Deathdeliverer987d ago

I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
