TGR's Rumor Killers: Left 4 Dead PS3, Xbox Price Cut, and Max Payne 3

TGR - "After churning out the great Grand Theft Auto 4 on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, and with Midnight Club LA coming very soon, what else has infamous developer Rockstar got in store for everyone? According to the Official Playstation Magazine, Rockstar is hard at work on a 'new' IP based on a 'cool license.'"

Left 4 Dead might come to PS3 but wont be in till 6 or so months if that.

360 Price cut is going to happen and when it does things are going to get interesting to say the least

Max Payne 3 would be amazing...lets hope on that one

I just hope that Left 4 Dead gets ported well if it gets ported... If not don't even bother doing it.

L4D on PS3?, nah.

It could come at some time, if there is a company wanting to port it down the road assuming what ever deal MSFT made is over.

To say it is coming to PS3 because it can is bold(FF13 Versus can/could come to 360 but the devs say no right now).

I really want a Max Payne 3. The first one was pretty good.

If Left 4 Dead doesn't come to the PS3 then that's a lost for EA, and Valve. Just less piles of money for them to collect. I want to play this game but it's nothing to cry over with so many great games coming out this year and beyond.

I never got into Max Payne, but I'd love to see a new one... As long as it doesn't coincide with the movie...

Well, maybe I'm alone with that, but:

No L4D port > TOB-like port by EA

If they ever port the game, I want them porting over the quality as well and don't just cash in with it.

Sorry cain, didn't mean to copy you. Just followed some links and landed in the Open Zone section (take a look, you might understand me then) of this article and didn't read the Gamer Zone afterwards, just needed to type something on topic to cool down again.

4 - Price Cut
Could be a real big deal this holiday season. I hope they both cut prices so that more can enjoy HD gaming. Sony needs to come up with a lower SKU if they are going to phase out the 40 gig model. I think they should keep the 40 gig and lower it to 299. which would be the same price of an Xbox. and do a 120g model with backward compatibility. Then just remind people in their marketing strategy that the 360 has a 80% failure rate and add 50 bucks a year to the console cost for Live and the fact after 3 years they will have no warrenty on the machine so they will have to buy a new one. They should do just fine.

I doubt it is as high as 80% for the failure rate... But Sony needs to make people think it is that high...

I dissagree with that goofy take.

4.3 - a few interesting points...
80% failure...that is funny.

$50 for live, maybe if they stress competitive play. Otherwise MS does a good job of saying %90 of live is free for silver members.

3 warranty ending...not really. Maybe for the 05 systems considering this is 08. Yet MS has said their coverage for RROD is 3 years from mfg date (or was it date of purchase??). How long is Sony's warranty?

Sony should bring back the 60gb sku (sans b/c) and sell it for the same price of $299. That way people will see they are equal on the hdd storage and it will have to come down to quality of games and inclusion of bluray.

Yes the 80 % number is a joke, but I think it is really high. Seriously I mean this, I have never met anyone that owns a 360 that has not broke at least once. Which is why so many own both consoles. As far as the 3 year warrenty goes. It will expire and the 360 in my opionion has a 80% mortality rating. Sony doesn't need a Warrenty. Last I checked they where not charging people to fix problem machines from firmware updates. There is a manufactures warrenty on all Sony products but we are not as aware of it because the machines are some of the most relilbe in the world.

anyone think the 360 will start to outsell the ps3 in the US with the price cut?

5.1 - In all honestly...
Yes. But for a brief period of time. A price cut gives those waiting to buy a console a good enough reason for them to get out there and finally buy it. I don't see it changing things in the long run though. The 360 just doesn't have the games for the future, Gears then Halo then Gears will get boring and won't work, they need more 1st party innovative games rather than games they've bought from Sony...

Price cuts work, most of the time anyway, but the Ps3 will still have the big games this year (and Home) to push it's advantage. It's sold better than the 360 for a while now.

So are you saying that Versus has a better chance of going to the 360 than L4D has going to the PS3?

Valve says there isn't a PS3 version of the game in development, but the last time I checked SquareEnix haven't started on the 360 version of XIII yet either.

Left 4 Dead will eventually make its way to the PS3, but I won't buy it. Not just because EA is horrible with the PS3, but also Valve always seems so determined to harp on the PS3 every chance they can get lest they eat their own words (which surprisingly is the only thing Gabe Newell refuses to eat.)

As far as the 360 price drop goes, that would be a great move for Microsoft assuming that Sony's surprise announcement won't steal all their thunder.
