GDC 09: Xbox 360 gets nothing new while PS3 gets new MGS and Ratchet game

GB:

"GDC 09: Xbox 360 gets nothing new while PS3 gets new MGS and Ratchet game The Game Developers Conference is winding down and all has not been lost as several new games have been announced. The conference for the most part was made up of sessions where developers shared new insight into best practices into game development. Surprisingly Microsoft's camp stayed fairly quiet, while Sony's side was making a bit of ruckus with a tease of a Metal Gear game from Kojima and a new Ratchet & Clank announcement.

I was surprised that Microsoft didn't make much noise during GDC. The Twitter for the Official Xbox Magazine indicated that some cool stuff would be shown day 2 of GDC. However, nothing was really shown during the conference from Microsoft's side. Let me be clear here, just because nothing new was shown at GDC for the Xbox 360 doesn't mean that there isn't anything in the pipeline. I can only assume that the secret good stuff will be saved for E3 later this year. I am looking forward to at least checking out some Alan Wake gameplay. Gamers can now mark their calendars for E3 which takes place in two full months."

[qface64]

i must have missed something when did they even announce a new metal gear solid game? heck when was it even announced for the ps3?

i did see the ratchet game though

[Lucreto]

There was a screen at the end of Kojima keynote with MGS5 written on it.

It might be PS3 exclusive but we don't know yet. They are assuming that MGS4 was exclusive the new one will be as well.

edit: why the disagrees and the bubble loss.

[qface64]

oh really i didn't know that i didn't bother with the keynote kojima gave i didn't expect to hear or see anything at all

sounds nice if that MG raiden thing ain't true

honestly now a days it could be multi plat and i wouldn't be surprised at all
hell it could be for the wii or ds for all we know and i wouldn't be shocked i just don't even know anymore with all the turns the industry is taking

anyways if they do make a MGS5 i just hope its good also hope they work on the online more

[sonarus]

didn't microsoft announce some dlc

[qface64]

DLC is good depending on what kind
but in the end its nothing to get all excited about the way people would if it was an announcement for a new game

[Shane Kim]

As long as the new MGS isn't held back, it can be on the 360 as well as on the PS3. I don't care. I just hope it won't come to the Wii, or I'll take my life.

[Joe Dirt]

@Lucreto, if MGS4 could not fit onto a DVD9, i dont see the next MGS fitting on one either.

[qface64]

in that case i hope its on the wii
kojima would be doing the world a favor

lol im kidding

[Joe Dirt]

If a new MGS does go multiplat, it will be held back for sure, all you need to do is look at GTAIV, Rage, Burnout, Final fantasy infact all current multiplats as an example.

[Lucreto]

I know it can't fit on the DVD9 but I thiught that Kojima was not directing it this time. The new director might not be as big as a perfectionist as Kojima.

[Rock Bottom]

PS3 got 2 new exclusivs, that katamari game and the "not so surprising" new R&C game, but still, where's WhatThis and the other fanboys who kept saying "wait for GDC, wait for GDC,...", I bet they will be all like "but, eh, wait for teh E3" now.

Ok, that was a bet fanboyish of me.

@Lucreto: I think there's a big chance Kojima will be directing again, and even if he didn't, he will still be the producer, so the new MGS shouldn't stray away from Kojima's vision.

[sonarus]

lol there was a dumb fanboy called wrex the krogan running around screaming he had inside information on how Alan Wake would be playable and the graphics are 75% better than they were last time it was showed.

Then he also said the next COD was exclusive to 360 LMFAO

[Shane Kim]

Actually, I would love to have Shane Kim removed from the face of the earth as well.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

I'm not sure why I expected Microsoft to reveal some new IP's but I did and saw nothing. They tell me to keep waiting. Well, I've BEEN waiting and all I see is Sony showing us new IP's and sequels.

MGS and R&C are anything BUT new.

[caladbolg777]

A few too many kicks and punches all to the mind?

[locos85]

Kojima wants to make MGS5 bigger than MGS4... That why it will most likely be a PS3 exclusive. All his games are exclusive to some platform at the time of release. I doubt he will break his trend.

[ShabzS]

mgs 2 came out on pc didnt it? they CAN go multi plat if they want to

[StayHigh]

Even if the new Metal Gear Solid come to the 360 ...How many disk will it be on..and knowing Kojima his going to try to take advantae of the PS3 power and space..

My prediction Mass Effect 1 will be announced for the PS3 and Mass Effect 2 will be a time exclusive for the 360..

Left 4 Dead will come to the PS3..There was so many rumors going around and if it isnt announced this E3 then it wont come to the Sony hardware..

[NickIni]

R&C is new. MGS5, we have no details. It will almost certainly be on PS3 (unless it's for iPhone, DS etc.), but to call it an exclusive is jumping the gun a bit.

[WeaseL]

It will be blu only, Kojima even joked about swapping discs during MGS4.

[Mindboggle]

Why would the next MGS go multi platform ? MGS4 sold over 4 mil on PS3 so there's no reason. Sony knows this and I expect them to jump on this game and make it exclusive just like MGS4.

Do you honetsly think Kojima wants to work with a less powerful format ? Probably not....

[eagle21]

Team ICO is hard at work for an E3 reveal. :)

360? *crickets chirp*

PS3 is HOT in japan with FFXIII this year. Japanese developers are having awesome success on PS3. *wink*

[Tomdc]

I think they must be saving everything for E3! There gunna have one stella keynote there! We know of very little exclusives coming this year for them at the moment... hmmm doubt it will be as great as the PS3 line up but we'll have to wait and see! I think doing what they could prove a very clever move, E3 is back to its big ol' size again and announcing everything there compared to the others which wont have as much new stuff to announce could win them the backing of the press.. we'll see wont we?

[Montreafart]

will be PS3 exclusive for certain.

MGS4,
"most epic game ever"
"greatest game of the century"

was released exclusively on the PS3 when its install base was at around 12 million and proceeded to sell over 5 million copies in less than a year.

There is absolutely no reason to believe MGS5 will go multi platform. Sorry, but MGS5 is PS3 exclusive sealed in stone.

And MGS5 will jump ahead in tech as much as MGS3 jumped up from MGS2 (lightyears).

MGS never disappoints.

[IaMs12]

lol im sorry but i have to say it, i guess its ok to make another MGS but not ok for more Halo? all well... But hey i do hope its a good game you know.

[Tony P]

Pretty much spot on. 360 had very little "cool stuff" come out of GDC besides a few DLC, a new dev kit, and upgrades for GFWL. And only one of those applies to gamers. Unless someone out there actually enjoys being forced to use MS's lacklustre Steam clone.

Compare that to the landslide of new games cropping up for the PS3 both before and during GDC and suddenly 360 looks pretty bare atm on the announcement side. We all know 360 is still getting titles, but you can't keep riding ODST and Alan Wake without announcing anything else.

Is MS saving up for some big news at E3? Probably. But then again, one wonders what PS3 will have to offer down the road. If Sony reiterates the same announcements made here, then MS will level the playing field. If Sony has MORE new games, then we can truly start calling this a PS3 year.

Please, take all that as my own personal analysis, not hard fact.

[FlameBaitGod]

I remember when i was paying MGS4 and Otacon said, insert disk too and i was like... what.... i looked for the box quickly and i was like F NO!!! my second disk is MISSING!.... then he says the blu ray thing and im like... you bastard you scared me :(

[theEnemy]

LOL.

Nuff' said.

[NIGHT_HAWK3210]

is this article serious? wow ps3 is really gonna catch xbox soon now. ive been waiting for a new ratchet game ever since i got my ps3. (SARCASM) i play both systems, but ps3 fanboys run rampant on this site and try to grasp onto anything that might catch 360. kind of stupid, but i guess thats what being a fanboy consists of.

[michellejbuss]

Would love to see a bit more of the Alan wake title. I am really hoping they will give us some news at E3

[Anon1974]

Alan Wake looks like the only thing on the horizon worth dusting my 360 off for. Well, that and the Halo expansion. Me likey Halo. Long wait for either of those, though.

[locos85]

Why are you guys excited about this game?? They still havent shown us anything about it except a trailer with a bunch of trees and screens with Alan hold a flashlight......

[Shane Kim]

"I was surprised that Microsoft didn’t make much noise during GDC."

Oh you were?

[GWAVE]

So much for "Bu bu bu but JUST YOU WAIT! Microsoft has a secret, magical vault full of awesome games that they're gonna announce in 2009!"

[TheMART]

Well but but but we're just at the end of March 2009. Gears 2 was announced in the same years as it released in 2008. Microsoft could even announce something @ E3.

ATM I look foreward to Alan Wake. For the PS3 I am only looking foreward to God of War III. Question is if it releases in 2009 or 2010 otherwise this year no games for me on the PS3.

[PotNoodle]

The mart.. they announced gears 2 at GDC. So nothing on that scale this year then?

I don't want to sound like a fanboy because i too paid money for my 360 and i don't want it to go to waste.

[ColRomColumn]

Looking forward to playing L4D, fancy joining? oh that's right.

Guys you have been promised another platformer circa 1998, and we all know how well the last one did. Or another tired MGS sequel featuring your favourite (naked) blonde raider. No wonder you feel all tingly and special.

[Dimitri]

Microsoft likes to talk a lot in interviews, especially the fat one.

It seems they were all quiet during the GDC :|

[Montreafart]

Now its, "wait till E3!"

Buhahahaha.

And the bots acting that they were surprised, keeping hope alive for the fellow bots, is fking PRICELESS.

Hahaha I bet they are also surprised that the girl he saw at the bakery standing next to him, did not ask for his phonenumber lol!

Hahaha

@walmart boy.

Hahaha stupid xbot. I love how you idiots always compare last years GDC whenever it suits you. But stop doing so when it doesnt. WHy dont you stupid bots enlighten everyone here how MS GDC was last year? Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2 and Gears 2 announced and shown.

This year...dum dum dum dun! NOTHING. NADA. 360 FLOPPED AND DAMNED boy.

[talltony]

REALLY? all you want is God of war 3? I find that really hard to beleive. I am sure you want uncharted 2, Rachet and Clank, infamous, MAG, and Heavy Rain no matter what you say. God of war 3 will come this year cause they are talking about it too much for it not to. You say you want Alan wake that no one knows anything about, might not even be announced this year. God of war 3 has a much better chance of coming this year than Alan wake does.

Also You stated yourself that Gears 2 was a generic shooter, i dnt even know why you still support xbox by acting like you thought it was a good game in order to try and prove a point.

[infekt]

@ColRomColumn: What?! Last I checked there was only a handful of ppl on L4D. Oh look, they're all playing KZ2! Fancy that. Please.. Keep your over-weight "exclusive". Over-hyped and better on the PC. Lol. 360 is a joke now.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...Alan Wait is going to be on P.C to???
So i could buy it i.e a HARDCORE PS3 FanBoy!!! ;-D

"Gamers can now mark their calendars for E3 which takes place in two full months" ;-P ;-P ;-P Can't wait;)

Hmm...i wonder what Micro$luts will STEAL at E3 2009 tho??? Hmm...holds on to Wallet for dear life...
;-D

[Deadman64]

lil nervous sir ken?

[Why o why]

guess Ill have to wait until E3 too. I wonder what MS has up their sleeves if much at all. This is the beauty of sony/devs leaking info at times other than shows like gdc, E3 etc. Saves me the frustration of not knowing or 'waiting' as some n4g members used to say.

I dont expect sony or MS to announce a glut of high quality games at e3, both for different reasons but waiting until the year is almost half done before people know what's coming out is a bit of a joke, lets not kid ourselves here.

[SixTwoTwo]

Sony Press Conference:
M.A.G.
Uncharted 2
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
Heavy Rain
God of War III
One unnanounced 1st party title (Syphon Filter or Twisted Metal... maybe both?)
Kojima's next game

Microsoft Press Conference:
Halo 3: ODST
Alan Wake
Forza 3
Splinter Cell Conviction
Rare's next game
Exclusive DLC for 1 or 2 fall titles

Gamers Across The Globe:
WIN

[TheForgotten0ne]

They never confirmed a new MGS..They showed us an image that said
Mission:
The Next MGS

And it looked like Raiden was standing there aswell.

[OmegaSlayer]

Kojima was not even satisfied with the capacity of the BluRay, I don't think he can try to restrain his vision on a DVD.
A 360 would mean an audio su 7.1, a different AI, different graphics.

Remember also that Sony has only allowed the use of 5 SPU from Killzone2 onward, like they allowed the full use of the PSP since Chain Of Olympus, it's their way to make the life of their consoles longer.

[titntin]

Much as I'd be happy to see the next MGS title go multi plat (the more gamers get to play these games the better I reckon), I somehow doubt it.
With each new release, the series has always been at the leading edge of tech, and you can guarentee they will be looking to 'push it' for the next title. Though he's always been politic about it, he has expressed that the last game used a lot features of the PS3 architecture and the large data space they had available. I can't see them wishing to start the next title with the 360's DVD space as a limitation from the off. There has to be very good chance that the next title will be PS3 exclusive too.

[Kratos19]

Just wait, Xbots. Just wait and wait and wait and wait. Perhaps your "console" will finally get some good exclusives again. Just wait.

[TheMART]

Like you waited 2 years on the PS3 for the first good game?

[nix]

awww... someone's feeling little touchy here...

[ActionBastard]

Mart's just butthurt he's still playing Crackdown. Not because he likes it, but because it is one of the few 360 exclusives left. Hahaha. You were sooo looking forward to GDC. Hahaha.

[Shane Kim]

As did you Mart, Halo 3 wasnt released till 2007 you know.

[Kratos19]

*Looks at Xbox 360's 2009 lineup*

Yeah, have fun....

[jeseth]

Does microsoft pay you for being and ignorant fanboy? Knock it off man. All the crap makes you sound like a fool.

[Firstkn1ghT]

A new MGS5? So I guess we'll be seeing it in 2012??? Sheesh. I guess Microsoft could of easily said Halo 4 is coming out.....eventually!

[Why o why]

...but they (MS) didn't even have that just some DownLoadable Nothing with a bit of Timed Nothing;)

he asked 4 it plus he's a good sport

[Pennywise]

I dont expect anything else from your comments, but you fail to realize that MGS engine is already in place and the new game would take significantly less time to make.

They probably already have a story line for the game... I expect it out late 2010/early 2011 the latest.

[himdeel]

...hits it right on the head. The engine is already in place and thus significantly knocks down production time. Likewise they'll have an even better understanding of how to use and now better use the tech of the PS3.

I know Kojima has been seeing other titles created exclusively for PS3 and thinking to himself I like that and I'm sure I can get more out of the PS3 now than I did last time. So far no game developer is really squeezing the last bit of juice out of the PS3 but Kojima would be a good candidate to give it a go.

I'm certain if Kojima could revisit MGS4 with their new information and understanding of the tech they could optimize the game even more. I have noooooooooooooooooo doubt about Kojimas prowess with his game production and whether his next MGS game is exclusive to PS3 or multiplatform or exclusive to 360 it WILL BE an amazing game.

[Consoldtobots]

I agree, these rabid 360 fanboys are starting to look insane. Im surprised they even have the ballz to show their face here after MS fall flat on its face this year.

[NIGHT_HAWK3210]

you goddamn fanboys are so ignorant. firstknight didnt even say anything bad. hes prolly right, but fanboys think that the ps3 is as untouchable as god himself.

[Danieru sho]

is a f--- genius

[Why o why]

will only acknowledge him as a genius if he uses that black hole compression to make it fit on the 360.

@Joe....maybe half of it:)

[Joe Dirt]

If Kojima uses this new black hole compression technique, and he plays his cards right, maybe just maybe he could fit the opening cut scene on a 360.

[Lawliet]

LMFAO! Joe Dirt that's a good one.

[Nelson M]

Haa Ha

[Droid Control]

If we don't see or hear anything new in June, then i'lll start worrying...

[Montreafart]

Hahaha

[TwistedMetal]

thats pretty much right its becuase they got no games lol. No

[Daz]

or maybe thye dont reveal games till there about 4,5 months from realese instead of 1 and half years or more like sony :p

so if there nothing at e3 then you can say it has no exclusives ok?

[cayal]

Which game did Sony mention is coming out in a year or more?

Ratchet and Clank is out this year.
God of War 3 is out this year or early next year.

MGS5 isn't announced.

[ceedubya9]

We new about God of War 3 last year. Same with the new Ratchet. Can't wait for the new Ratchet. God of War could slip to next year.

[SuperM]

I have yet to see Microsoft announce anything other then casual games at E3 that actually makes it out the same year. If they announce core games at E3 then expect them to hit next year and not this year.

MS actually said that this year they might focus more on the casual audience. I think they will announce core games for next year at E3 and casual games for this year. Its getting very late to announce anything for this year. If we are lucky they might announce Forza3 for this year, but thats about it i think.

[hfaze]

"or maybe thye dont reveal games till there about 4,5 months from realese instead of 1 and half years or more like sony :p"

LOL... two words... Alan Wake :-)

[ssipmraw]

xbots were all, M$ doesnt announce their games until they are nearly finished!!!

[news4noobs]

so another kiddies game, ratchet&wank 873 and msg 73923.

it's much better to announce nothing than that.

[Shane Kim]

It is? Then why did you bought a 360? For DVD's?

[PS3Freak]

I truly feel sorry for anyone who labels ratchet and clank as a kiddie game. You are missing out on an AMAZING series. I've played EVERY single game and have never felt like it was a kids game. Wake up, and play some games.

[ultimolu]

Then what the f!ck is Banjoo Kazooie then?

You're an idiot.

[nix]

last day isn't over yet! keep your fingers crossed!

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...they(xBots)might get a Few more 'Wii-Looking' Avatars!!! ;-D

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

R&C kiddies game, have you even played it, and dont say you played the 1st game because that was probably the hardest game i played in my life up until i played MidNightClub2 and KZ2

[divideby0]

same will happen at E3..
MS will only have RaRe and Alan Wake...and maybe but a long shot, show something about their next xbox
Sony and Big N will totally dominate the show..at least if they dont its their loss

[ceedubya9]

Wouldn't be the safest bet in the world, especially if last year's E3 is an example. Sony and Microsoft did about even while Nintendo pretty much bored everyone.

[SuperM]

Well nintendo has said that this E3 will be big and they will announce games.

Microsoft has said they will open the doors and look abit further into the future which probably means they will announce games for next year or later.

And sony has alot of games coming up, so showing gameplay of those is getting them along way. They could give first real look on the actual gameplay for heavy rain, first look at MAG gameplay. Uncharted gameplay, god of war gameplay, ratchet & clank, GT5... That alone would make e3 rock for them.

And we know Twisted Metal is coming, so thats likely to be announced, aswell as rumors of Syphon filter PS3. And will we finally be able to see the "secret game"? Team ico games could be announced, so could the next warhawk game(warhawk in space?). If we are lucky we could see the rockstar game for PS3 or even MGS5. I think its a given that Sony will kick some butt this E3.

[weezy12]

great post superm i think the only ones you missed were that data-fly game infamous and ninja gaiden sigma 2 cant wait for E3!

[ActionBastard]

I like how the most exciting news was a new debug kit, a Kodu demo and...*drumroll*...XNA has access to Avatars! Hahaha. Keep holding onto E3 like MGS4 360. Which reminds me...Kojima's keynote, where he specifically mentions the "power of the PS3" in a non Sony sponsored event, should answer the MGS4 360 questions.

[NMC2007]

Brought to you by, Writing4Hits, if you want hits to your site or blog just open your ass, drop a few nuggets of sh1t and they will come.

This is about devs, not game announcements, when will people get that through their......... nevermind. -_- *walks away*

[nix]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[bob saget remix]

360s lineup stinks.

[heyheyhey]

don't forget.. Sony also announced the new PSN games being made with PhyreEngine 2.4

meanwhile MS..... nada

[hunter21]

who knows what MS keeping, and then surprise us all' in the future.

[EliteHITMAN]

I think microsoft knows they can't compete with sonys first party titles so their only hope is to blow their whole load at E3.
Sony E3 Conference will be
god of war 3
heavy rain
Mag
Twisted Metal
UNcharted 2
PSP2
Syphon FIlter
MGS5
Rachet and Clank
Gran Turismo
and possibly a teaser for the new evolution and wipeout teams game
Team Ico's 2 games

Microsoft E3 Conference
Alan Wake ( they have too show this)
killer Instinct 3
Halo ODST
Forza 3
That wiil remote thing MS made
Kodu
Maybe Perfect Dark 2 but I'm pretty sure Rare is just workin on KI3
Either Alan Wake is there big suprise or gears 3?

[StayHigh]

You forgot some more games for the PS3

The Agency
Fat Princess
New Socom
Infamous
War Devil
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

As you can see the PS3 gots lots of exclusive games lets see what would Microsoft announce this E3..

[KingKionic]

lol at your list of games.

[OSIRUSSS]

360's best game to date is called "price cut"

[maverick1191]

we all know mart fails at life hes a fanboy and the comment he made 2 full years for a good game what about uncharted graphically its pretty much better than anything on the xbox mart runs off when people have a pop at him

[EliteHITMAN]

but wow u hit that one outta the park

[ShabzS]

wuld love to counter this ... but its true

[ShabzS]

i hope they bring something new though ... atleast alan wake.. other wise bioshock 2, MW 2 and gta dlc 2 are the only things i'll be looking forward to this year ..

[ZEEBO4LIFESTFU]

the sony fanboys go nuts. your all excited cause you got good games coming out in a year and they are pulling the old Eventually scheme with MGS. sony and its tired franchises.

[dustgavin]

Better than Microsoft and its diminishing franchises.

[jBat17]

and i won't mind if rose is back.. as long as she keeps her mouth shut and her boobs still jiggles using the sixaxis.

im sure mgs5 will be a ps3e exlusive. otherwise, it will be a case of the sequel loolking worse than its predecessor.. i mean, the crapbox can't do mgs4 graphics so mgs5 will be scaled down to accomodate the 3fixme..

and yeah, R&C, kiddie game or not, i'm buying it day one like all R&C before

[Montreafart]

With over 5 million copies sold in LESS THAN A YEAR.

Yes, it came out ATFER GTA4. Hard to believe, aint it.

Dont worry, with this success, its guaranteed exclusive.

Remember how all the xbiatches tried to claim how MGS4 would come to flop60? And when it didnt, they tried to call it a flop. And when it outscored everything on their flopsole, they tried to convince us how MGS4 flopped sales wise.

Xbots are proven idiots. Nothing but lies and shiat comes out of their mouths.

They went so far as to pitch NG2 against MGs4. Even claimed how NG2 would outsell MGS4.

Even Tecmo joined PS3 now and we are getting the superior gaiden experience. Sucks to be an xbots.

Even as we speak, the foundation of xbox 360 are eroding and collapsing. Brick is falling on top of their heads, but these delusional bastards are still talking crap about PS3. Even when brick, thats 360 brick, is falling on top of their heads!!!

Talk about stupid.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

They've announced more new IP's this year than MS has ever done.

[joeyisback2585]

microsoft pulls the same scheme with halo and yet another halo comes this yr haha it will suck like the one that was just release haha halo 3 was better and they fk bungie over so they r screwed

[zainkool]

Micro might still have something up their sleeves that there leaving for E3, but so does sony. E3 will be very interesting. Sony needs to pull something like Micro did with FF13

[deshon09]

that goes to show you that sony is putting more into the ps3 and if kojima should have any thing to do with the game it will be a ps3 only game even if it not he is still the boss a kojima productions as for publisher you nerver know sony could publish it if not we know konami will and that bring to the next question who funded it moer than likely sone put money into it and plus kojima dose not like the 360 to much

[AnttiApina]

I really think that they have something big coming... They are really not showing all cards once. Let's wait and see. By the way, what was the big annoucement multiplat game?

[EliteHITMAN]

are you ready MODERN WARFARE 2 OMGZZZZZZZZ SHOCKER...
i think everyone and their grandmother knew it would come this year.

[anubis12]

mgs....poop

ratchet and clank...my nephew should like this game

[jeseth]

Ratchet and MGS Sequels !!!!

Already knew about the new Ratchet but I'm excited to see that they are working on another MGS !!! The Raiden storyline should be awesome and i can't wait!!!!

METAL GEAR RULES !!! I love it.

[jeseth]

More MGS and Ratchet an Clank.

Ratchet and Clank is one of the best platformers ever! And now it'll have trophies!!!

I wish they'd do a trophey patch for MGS4.

SWEET !!!

[xg-ei8ht]

M$ have run out of exclusives to buy off, that's why nothing new.

I overheard on the the M$ execs during the show.

He said to another MS Guy, Wtf are we going to do, we have nothing. and the PS3 has woke up.
The other guy said to the barman, make mine a double.

[fr0sty]

My take on a new MGS:

Will probably not have Solid Snake as the main character (kojima repeatedly states MGS4 was the end of Snake).

Will probably stay exclusive to PS3 (MGS4 sold over 4 million copies on PS3, negating a need to go multiplatform. Plus, there's any cash Sony is willing to give up for exclusivity like they surely did with MGS4, and Kojima is a visionary director that likes to have his games take advantage of the latest tech. MGS4 filling a dual layered Blu-Ray is evidence of that).

Probably won't see the light of day until 2011

Have you noticed that all "new" games are sequels or spin offs? It sucks, i remember going into gamestop or EB and seeing new games everywhere differend IP. Now its the same mainstream games for everything.

PS3
-R&C
-MGS

Xbox
-Gears
-Halo

Multi
-Call of Duty

And thats all we hear from now a days and every blue moon we see new ones

LittleBigPlanet

and still in the blue moon Alan Wake.

sigh please New IPS please..

[weezy12]

sony has there consistent ips then they have new ips, keep in mind resistance drakes come from this generation, heavenly sword was a fresh ip then just this year mag heavy rain and infamous are all coming

[IaMs12]

that is true, but if i remember not too many sequels were last generation. Its awesome to hear Max Payne 3 is coming because a Max Payne wasnt already in this generation. If they took last gen comes and went with the sequel this gen that would be a little different because thats what we are asking for. instead of going Gears 1 then gears 2 then 3. Resistance 1 then 2 then 3. so all we get is the same story sane generation. Make new IPS from this generation instead of continueing from this generation. EX. Gears 3 on the 720 and Resistance 3 on the PS4 etc.. This kind of contricdicts my statement but if you look at it, it makes sense.

Long story short, New IPS for this generation, later on the road continue with current games. instead of EPIC working on Gears 3 have them come out with another game in between there or 2 before Gears hits us.

Hopefully MS has some New IP's at E3 and not just former Sony Exclusives.Otherwise..seriousl y..what's the point of owning a 360?

Last time i even turned mine on was when Fable 2 came out.
Useless machine.

[Thoreau]

the 360 does not have much juice left in it. disagree if you want to with me, but it is true. sony is going in the right direction.

[artsaber]

Alan Wake has been in production since before the 360 was launched... it is vaporware right now, the Duke Nukem of the 360. Microsoft shoulda spent some of that GTA4 DLC cash to pay for more people to finish that game up.

The 360 is gearing up for an exit, while the PS3 is making moves to ensure longevity... just like Sony said they would. you can see it in the forecast.

[Xbots play games]

There is only ONE date that matters and it's only 2 months away...E3..June 1st 2009...

This is the first E3 where WE the public will behold the spectacle once again. And NOBODY is going to care about games announced two months prior. History has clearly shown that even when you announce big games prior to E3 the public and the gaming press don't appreciate it. Look PS3 owners will be excited as well..but let's keep it real...we've seen your lists 1000 times over..God of War 3 (2010) won't scare anybody into running into the stores to buy a PS3..and if Killzone 2 didn't work..why are people screaming 'Fat Princess'

Let's finally tell the truth..the only games that 360 owners are going to care about are games that are coming to the 360. Gamers like me will salivate at a new game from Team Ico..but the bottomline is the majority of public will lose their minds to footage of Halo:OSDT, Modern Warfare 2, and the next Final Fantasy.

GDC came and went and the only thing people are talking about is whether a small peripheral will take the place of consoles this holiday (never). Bring on the big boy conference. THEN we will readdress what in store for each console. Because from where I stand..nothing is going to change until it happens.

[dar36]

ms is saving all the big guns for e3. when aaron greenberg walks on the stage with kojima the roof will come down. i think sony has some megaton announcements also.

[chidori666]

ITS NORMAL......

[be_wrong]

because halo's the only thing it can offer :P

...

[onijutsu]

this is GDC which stands for game developer conference, yes the press is there, but GDC is almost a summit for gaming, about learning from everyonoe in the gaming industry, sure sony revealed some titles, maybe its just in microsoft's plan to reveal everything at GDC where they will get more press coverage.

still it feels good to know the future of my ps3 is busy :)

"Wait until TGS"

my take is that MS is swinging the way like Nintendo, trying to appeal to the casual crowd. That's why it is shutting down studios left and right and did not announce any titles that appeal to the hardcore crowd.
