[fishd]

Oh snap!
How many hours from now?

[shingo]

3!

[Sangria]

Actually, it's in one hour and a half :D

[shingo]

isn't BST = GMT?

[peeps]

correct. BST = British Summer Time. Which is GMT+1

It's 1.28 here so expect the news in an hour and a half

[Sangria]

Is BST = GMT+1?
Because here in France, it's 2:45 PM and we are at GMT+1, but London is also at GMT+1 and it's 1:45 PM :o
Edit: nevermind, it appears that in summer, France is in GMT+2...

[shingo]

Thanks for the correction guys :)

World War III in about an hour from now :O

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

Place your bets:

MGS4 -> 360
FF Versus XIII -> 360
Quantum Theory -> 360
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 -> 360
Ninja Theory -> 360
Mass Effect -> PS3
Mass Effect 2 -> PS3
Left 4 Dead -> PS3
Splinter Cell Conviction -> PS3
Gears of War -> PS3
Gears of War 2 -> PS3
Gears of War 3 -> PS3
Mistwalker -> PS3
Bungie -> PS3

I would list more from PS3 to 360, but most PS3 exclusives are guaranteed to stay exclusive.

Edit:

Well, I personally hope all of these happen, it would be quite an amuzing 2000 comment thread. Besides, all gamers would be equally happy.

And all games would be equally gimped. :)

[Tony P]

^^^Haha. Heart attacks would ensue over most of those.

My guess is exclusive DLC of some sort.

[sack_boi]

I heard it's DLC related.

[ShabzS]

SOMEONES GONNA LOOSE SOMETHING BIG!!... HANG ON TO YOUR SYSTEMS BOYS!!

[shingo]

i don't like to say this but i'm expecting it's good news for 360 and bad news for PS3 :(

i hope i'm wrong, but in all cases one side will get screwed lol.

[leila01]

Given that we always seem to hear the MOST whining about Wii related announcements, I'm expecting something bizarre to be announced for the Wii (primarily for the Wii or only for the Wii) that will irk the HD-guys to the core.

[sack_boi]

So... 43 minutes until some hot fanboy-on-fanboy porn is released?

[ShabzS]

http://twitter.com/guycocke...

something big is going down

[shingo]

i can assure you this is definitely 360 vs PS3 :P

[FreestyleBarnacle]

Modern Warfare 2 timed exclusive?

[BulletToothtony]

that actually makes a lot of sense.. in a way...

Not trying to be a fanboy but MS can't come up with an exclusive of their own.. Modern Warfare 2 will be the best selling game this year.. makes sense for MS to invest in it.. again.. they only care about smacking the competition.. not about innovating...

On the other hand they would have to pay A LOT of money for this.. since infinity ward knows damn well that they are gonna sell another 3 to 4 millions on the ps3.. and they may lose money by not releasing at the same time..

It's gonna be something along those lines thou... unless is some bullcrap article made huge by VG247

[sack_boi]

It's PS3 Fallout DLC...
and nobody gives a sh!t

[whoelse]

Fight!

/sarcasm

[leila01]

LOL and another megaton bites the dust

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

Never thought of DLC as relevant, none of my choices made it lol

[pixelsword]

...again.

This was not only predicted, but predicted way earlier than your announcement.

[Raoh]

I'd love to see a MistWalker game make it to the ps3.. its possible.

they are more like a second party developer.. all the 360 exclusives are because microsoft published them. sort of like how ninja theory is a third party developer but sony published heavenly sword

mistwalker is an underrated developer.

[-x.Red.x-]

let me start it...

*sigh*

[Shadow Man]

Microsoft would save that announcement for E3.

[deadreckoning666]

360 FANBOYS: Why is it ur biggest hope that a ONE year old PS3 exclusive arrives on 360, if the xbox 360 SUPPOSEDLY already has the better games and is better console.

ROFL, u started it buddy!

[Arnon]

Because a lot (and I mean a lot) of people look at MGS4 as one of the only reasons to own a PS3 (gaming wise).

[Omega4]

Apparently its something to do with DLC

I bets its GTA DLC but i cant see anyone getting pissed over that.....unless its on the PS3.

Or maybe the name of the DLC is the same as the Gamefork rumour, meaning what he said could be true...

[-x.Red.x-]

a sony exclusive going MP
or MS going MP

hmm...

[peeps]

well they say they think it will provoke a nasty reaction unless they're mistaken. So it can't be super big else they'd know for sure it'll cause fanboys to argue (but whats different on this site lol)

The next GTA DLC coming to PS3/360? would be big news but not that amazing cus of rumors (altho i doubt it myself).

GTA DLC being announced and for 360 only (which we'd expect) but it would get fanboys arguing, 360 fanboys laughing at ps3 fanboys and ps3 fanboys saying things like 'well its a boring game anyway'

not long anyway and then we'll prob all be dissapointed :p

[gravv]

lady gaga the videogame.... exclusive on one console

[poeo]

Team Ico going Xbox exclusive.

I CALLED IT!!!

j/k. what is this?

[Nambassa]

nope its heavy rain going multiplatform. wanna bet? its not even listed exclusive on wikipedia..... ooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Fishy Fingers]

"not even listed exclusive on wikipedia"

Wiki, is user edited. It's not a reliable source for sucj info.

Either way, I'm not sure David Cage would of claimed "360 cant run it" if it was a multiplat game. You obviously aren't following the game, the guy is practically in love with Sony for allowing him such freedom.

[adriano999]

heavy rain is published by SCEA/SCEE....

[siyrobbo]

i think he was being sarcastic

[Fishy Fingers]

Ah, your probably right. It's difficult to tell from text alone. :/

[Nambassa]

@ 4.4 WELL DONE!! i was being sarcastic. why would it go multiplat? and yes, i know that wikipedia is user edited and is not reliable. seriously i didnt even check wikipedia so it probably is listed as a ps3 exclusive. next time i'll try to be more clear.... but i was kinda pretending to be a desperate 360 fanboy who wanted heavy rain to go multiplat cos it looks so AWESOMe!! (now i'm not being sarcastic, just in case ur wondering...)

[Roper316]

Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 with ME1 on the same blu-ray disc for the normal U.S. price of $59.99 + tax

[siyrobbo]

that would be good news if so, im currently playing mass effect now and its fantastic, the more people that play the game the better. They will make more money and put more money into the next game

[Forrest Gump]

You don't want Mass Effect on Ps3,trust me,after playing it you'll wonder why the hell you didn't get it on PC in the first place.

[TwistedMetal]

also can someone post us times like new york time or something?

[NewYork214]

at 10 AM eastern time. 35 minutes left.

[Christopher]

I buy for console now just so I don't end up sitting at a desk my whole waking day or use a keyboard mouse all day long. I'd love to see PC-quality graphics on the PS3 or 360, but I'm not throwing a gaming PC next to my living room TV just to get that quality. I'm more than happy with the console graphics honestly, and the game was good enough on the console.

[NewYork214]

is vb247 biased at all? if they lean more towards 360 its probably something bad for the 360 and vice versa but i have no clue bout this site.

[Baka-akaB]

So far unlike too many sites , VG247 just deliver news , without adding their personaly opinions , wich is great .
Now the comments are of course the usual sony drones vs xbots fest .

[NewYork214]

maybe i should add them to my videogame site list then lol. sick of all the fanboy crap on all the other sites.

[Dave2001]

Gamefork is more reliable then Sev so i think this will be about MGS4 on the 360 or maybe the next metal gear is 360 exclusive ether way whatever it is it's not going to be good news for the Sony droids.

360 FTW.

[Aggesan]

I don't think it is about MGS4 coming to xbox360. Kojima already have that counter going on, so if something like that would be reveled it's going to happen on july 1

[peeps]

Even tho the fanboys are shouting about how that countdown ends on microsofts E3 day...

So if it was something MGS related don't you think it would be saved for the end of the countdown rather than saying "the embargo lifts at 3pm today and we've given it to a (no offence) reasonably small site."

And for Gamefork to be reliable i guess he's given a rumor thats turned out to be true?

even though a spokesperson for MS, himself, said that this 'Gamefork' guy didn't know what he was on about

[Baka-akaB]

What about bungie going MP or sony ? lol

[siyrobbo]

bungie may well go multiplat. they have worked on sony hardware before, Oni was released on PS2 before they were bought out by microsoft

[mintaro]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned MGS4 360 OMGBBQWTF!!

[gravv]

nintendo buys sony and microsoft.... hd gaming gone casual

[techie]

It's about GTAIV DLC.

[Fishy Fingers]

Know that for sure, or speculating? It's a good shout, and Gamezine probably have the same embargo, so you'd probably have a better idea than any of us.

[techie]

Ask Gamespot

[Morbid Bulldozer]

Since Sony fanboys are easiest to provoke, I'd say it's bad news for PS3. Basically say anything that is not Sony praise and you've got yourself a flamewar and an SDF assault. It's not that easy with other platforms.

[xlx-russ_92]

O RRY?

[ultimolu]

Because 360 fanboys aren't easy to provoke either.

EDIT: That's bullsh*t and you know it. Good going using SDF. You know, because all PS3 fans are part of this imaginary SDF I hear about these days. Meanwhile, the MDF looks for ways to bash the PS3 and Sony...hmmm...

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

I would expect someone from another fanboy faction to say that though. It goes both ways, but only fanboys would deny it.

[Morbid Bulldozer]

I'm not saying other platforms don't have fanboys. But SDF is the most vocal and easiest to provoke. On the other hand, if it's such a big announcement, even the Wii fanboys (both of them) can go wild.

EDIT: @ultimolu: no, not all PS3 fans are considered to be "in the SDF". Where did you get this idea from? SDF consists of people who somehow came to a conclusion that they have to fiercely defend a corporation they feel loyal to - in this case Sony. And from what I've seen here on N4G, the SDF is much more vocal than any other platform fanboys. You think it's not so?

[Tony P]

"360/Sony fans are worse" is fanboy thinking. Both are incredibly dense.

Any fanboy of anything actually. Not restricted to games.

[ultimolu]

Morbid, 360 fanboys do it too. They both do it. Leave it as that.

[Morbid Bulldozer]

@ultimolu: Fine with me. I still bet a bag of instant puree lying on my desk that I'm right. Which is a safe bet, because I don't feel like eating this crap :>

[SL1M DADDY]

There's fans on both sides of the fence. Only thing is, Sony has about 100 million more of them...

Install bases for the PS platform is well over 150 million while the MS fanbase in gaming is about 30 million. If you have more fans, you have more voices.

If you have more fans then you are going to have more fanboys. It's just simple facts. It doesn't mean they are more vocal, it just means there are more of them.

[ultimolu]

*puts on helmet and hides under a bunker*

Whatever it is, I'll be sure not to be caught in the crossfire.

[-x.Red.x-]

lock and load

it's going to be hell today

LoL can't wait for the action to start...

[ultimolu]

Must...stay...under...bunk. @-@

Whatever it is, it's not really surprising me.
Nothing surprises me anymore after that FFXIII announcement.

[Tito Jackson]

You know you'll be one of the first to run out of your foxhole, guns blazing. ;)

[ultimolu]

Not this time Tito.
EDIT: That's err...flattering. ^^;

[Tito Jackson]

But dont worry, Im sure someone will call you out, its N4G after all. People have nothing better to do than piss each other off.

Edit:Sorry. I took down what I originally said because I thought it might be "weird". But yes. Its been driving me crazy for a while now.

[xg-ei8ht]

I just found out. It's modern warfare 2 PS3 exclusive.

[siyrobbo]

being as call of duty 4 and 5 sold more on 360 than any other platform (and by a fair few copies too) i really doubt it. Activision like money too much

[peeps]

lol i have a feeling it was sarcasm

[SL1M DADDY]

But more revenue was brought in off of the PS3 versions. ;-)

[siyrobbo]

@SL1M DADDY

dunno how that would be possible....

[kewlkat007]

it was more expensive to buy the game, on the PS3.

[gravv]

april mop..?

[Forrest Gump]

I smell something exclusive

[Cajun Chicken]

Whoa ho, lets see what takes place...

[peeps]

well i'll be back in around 50 mins with some popcorn lol whoever it's 'bad news' for, should be a laugh

[gravv]

i could be anything....
but i hope the wait is worth, because i postponed my plan to go to my gf house for the megaton news.... if this turns out to be something rubbish and i didn't have sex tonight.... hhmmm

[Shadow Man]

I think I know what it is, Lostplane2 coming to the ps3, or MassEffect coming to the ps3!!! or DukeNuke4ever Xbox360 exclusive.

[BX81]

How funny would it be if they announced Sony and M$ were stepping out of the console business and all we had left was the WII!

[TwistedMetal]

gonna go shower and be back here with popcorn and soda.

[Bioboy]

I thinking ice cream.

[news4noobs]

360 exclusive

or

VG247 successfully hunted for tons of hits

[SickNote]

Excited.

[Kratos19]

It's going to be a huge anti-climax.

[KR1ST0F3R]

my guess is something hideo kojima related on 360. if not today then at e3

[news4noobs]

finally declaring bankruptcy

[tudors]

lets see it.....

[NewYork214]

its fallout dlc news. bethesda just twittered few moments ago sayin some dlc details comin in few min

[NewYork214]

how can you disagree? and i ended up bein right too lol. prick.lol

[Lucreto]

Lets hope this is not appropriate
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Kain81]

http://www.gamespot.com/new...

[Morbid Bulldozer]

And so I was mistaken. What do you know...

Who wants puree?

[Arsenal4Ever]

fallout 3 DLC, lol and??? is that it? Not fanboy action to me lol

[tudors]

big wow, some sites will do anything for hits even though in the end people will visit less, proper news would be nice.

[Sangria]

So much for the fanboys, only that story about the Fallout 3 DLC, i think it will make everyone happy instead and not really baiting.

[Zhuk]

This is great news for Xbox 360 enthusiasts everywhere, another nail in the Sony coffin and finally consumers will be free to enjoy the ultimate in home entertainment and to be fully empowered in their digital lifestyle with the penultimate unparalleled features, graphics and power that the Xbox 360 provides.

[digger18]

bwahahahaha..what an idiot. Mind you, he's always good for a laugh :)

So how is Fallout 3 DLC coming to the PS3 in June, is great news for the Xbox 360 enthusiasts?

Microsoft should stop wasting their much needed money if you ask me, because Sony always gets it in the end ;)

[TheBand1t]

I kinda doubt Zhuk takes this seriously.

Between him and DarkSniper they're just too funny.

[Snake Raiser]

Yes. The PS3 is doomed now that it has more dlc....WAT?
Either way this was kind of pointless.

[KR1ST0F3R]

what an anticlimax. what a steaming pile of horse.... err armour.

i was hoping it wasw going to be something relating to a GOOD game

[Daz]

Its good for who only have a ps3 but IS that it. all for dlc LOL.

[news4noobs]

it's good DLC. bit old but good.

[siyrobbo]

so the big announcement is fallout 3 dlc going to ps3? wonder if it'll actually work properly straight away

[FragMnTagM]

But it is good for PS3 owners that want to go beyond the rather short fallout storyline. The game was good, but I did not buy any DLC for it. If you own both like me, you could care even less. I was expecting a game to go multiplat, or be timed exclusive.

Who honestly didn't have an idea that the DLC would go multiplat some day anyway?

[NMC2007]

Oh wow, someone call the fire marshall, it's gettin hot in here from all the *yawn* fanboy action.

Seriously people, these sites are going to boost all types of uninteresting stuff to get hits, it's too close to E3 and that means it's time to con the hits out of eager gamers, I knew it would be something lame, unfortunately most people didn't.

Listen to nobody, wait till E3.

Next up!
Popular franchise makes a comeback!!!! Find out at 6pm pst.

*6pm*
The Adventures of Dizzy for the Nintendo DS.

*kills self*

[TwistedMetal]

I played enough of that game as well as gta4 lol. only x360 onwers tout dlc as something worth mentioning on games that clearly do not need it lol.

[Goldsack]

..who needs this buggy dlc.

[TheBand1t]

Fallout 3 DLC?

That's it? Seriously?

[Baka-akaB]

I usually like you vg247 .... but please ... please dont hype DLC dammnit ....

It's already tiresome with a few games without journalist going silly on dlc ...

[TheBand1t]

Fallout 3 DLC. That's the big annoucement?

Talk about an unsatisfying experience. I'm getting my pants back on.

[kingboy]

Is that it? pufff!

[na2ru1]

pack your bags and leave in peace. no gun blazing is needed here.

*lights a cigarette*

[Mr Face Creamer]

Since when was Fallout 3 DLC a 360 exclusive? Bethesda just never released it and they will next month, so what the hell was supposed to start a fanboy war?

LOL! That's like saying DMC5 is coming to the 360 and expecting Sony fanboys to be mad... Wtf.

[cheapness1]

Now I can ignore it on PS3 and 360!

[jonnyvito]

This is an embarrassing news article. The last time I visit this site. Pure desperation.

[wanderofys]

Fallout 3 sure has a nasty reputation around here, considering it's the only game from 2008 I still play a lot. With the inclusion of Broken Steel's level cap increase and two more DLCs, this game is becoming MASSIVE. Add some of the great PC mods and it's even bigger. I agree that this isn't really a fanboy fight starter, though. This is good news.
