If this title is a timed exclusive for the PS3 they just put more scrutiny on their game...
Everyone knows a PS3 release is put under the microscope and nitpicked to death.
I already started to see different impressions of the title stating it does not look as impressive. :lol:
That may very well be the case. It's already a laugh to see all of these "Why would they do that" and "Now I don't want it" type of bitchy comments. :lol

This years Assassins Creed?
I certainly hope so. I liked Assassin's Creed.

So, has this been confirmed or not? Blim says yes, dice says no. There's no additional source other than the initial interview, what's going on?

I just want to know whether I can cross this from my fall shopping list or not.
I only said that a lot of people were talking about this as if it was a done deal in the press room. Personally no one "officially in the known" told me anything one way or another.
It makes some sense though, so I consider it more than likely. Whatever happens I'll get this game on day one anyway so... :)

Thanks. If that's not unofficial confirmation, I don't know what is.

Of course, not the final word etc. etc., but.. *crosses it off the fall shopping list*

Why does it matter where your friends are.

And I know you have some smartass answer. But I wanna hear it.

Well, it's nice to compare achievements and discuss the game while playing. I especially like to spend time chatting with my brother while playing the same game. It probably would have been the other way around if the PS3 was my first console of choice.

What the hell are people so excited about this game for? I predict the hype will run out when people realize they just burned $60 on a six hour long obstacle course.

If you want to give simplistic definitions of games, couldn't you describe any platform game like that?

Thankfully for the rest of us who want to play this game, DICE has never made a bad first person game.

My friend and I will go into a private chat as well while we are playing different games or the same single player game. It's funny though when he just starts randomly cursing though.

Any specific reason you think it makes some sense?

DICE didn't say no. There won't be any "official" confirmation until Monday at the earliest.

Probably just time trials with leader boards. I doubt there's actually any real MP.

Time trials isn't multiplayer though. Most are speculating that they'll allow you to race against other people to a certain point. Or possibly have a tag mode in it. ME is EGM's October cover story so maybe they'll finally get DICE to talk about it.
 
These types of threads make me laugh. What, because a game is not coming out FIRST on your console of choice, it's no longer a buy? Hell, a year later I am looking forward to Bioshock on the PS3 and will enjoy it every bit as much as if I had played it last year on the 360.

Once you get over the "I must have it first and have it NOW!" mentality, gaming is much more enjoyable - you play the same games, only for a less expensive price by waiting a couple months. It's like a good book - is something like Lord of the Rings any less enjoyed by those reading it for the first time in 2008 than it was for those reading it in the 50's when it was first published? True, you can't wait THAT long to enjoy a game, but running a few months behind the launch window for games is where it's at, IMO (unless you are hardcore online).

It has multiplayer, we haven't heard about it yet.

We don't know. Assuming this is all true, I'd ballpark it around the end of Q1 2009 so it makes the fiscal year or gets EA off to a good start.

Good post. Just because a game doesn't come out at the same time as other versions doesn't make it any less good.

i looked for all of these meltdowns and all i saw was one.....that's it?! the way some people were talking a few pages back i thought that xbots were commiting suicide. all i see is a few people questioning the 'officialness' of the news and a few other people happy that it's only coming to PS3 for a while (though i don't understand why if you'd still get to play it day one).

really GAF? you can do better than this. i thought it was going to be some FFXIII type shit going on in here. oh well, it's still early.

*edit* and i guess it never will. damn. well......i guess that's that.

Too fucking funny. I think it will die in November on the 360. Too many games coming out. They should wait till December.

Based on previous history and not seeing anything with superstar written over it like Assassin's Creed, with the exception of Fallout 3. Gears 2, Fallout 3 and and Animal Crossing are the only locks for tremendous sales this year, here in the United States at least. I think that this is the case for games coming out in that timeframe.

Can we see the press release instead of some blog stating EA said something, putting text in italics doesn't make it official.

Ummmm I am pretty sure that italics are only allowed to be used if it is true.

But yeah, companies don't usually issue press releases when someone form another company says something stupid/wrong. They do however reply to emails from media, even if it is just "some blog"
