Rumor: Sony Makes Huge Exclusivity Deal

So this thread is still going, spurred by next to nothing. Fantastic.

That being said "a source close to the gaming community" makes it sound like their source is a GameStop manager.

My money is on IGN headquarters' janitor.

Good job Officer fortified_concept, I don't know what we would do without you policing every Sony thread to ensure justice for all console warriors. Keep up the good work!!

Oh please, don't put me in the same category as you (or 2 Minutes Turkish for that matter). I always give my honest opinion even if many times that means arguing against Sony, anyone who has read my opinion about Move and PSP Go can attest to that.

On the other hand we have you, a bitter fanboy that can't wait to find the opportunity to lecture us about the evils of Sony. Your opinion isn't honest, it's fixed and predictable. Your glory days of 2006 PS3 trolling are long gone, get over it.

Like I said to Woo-fu, if you add me to your ignore list it's a win/win since you don't have to read my posts and I don't have to hear you crying about them.
 
Hey guys, I got a "hot tip" from a "trusted source" that Sony is buying Microsoft and I posted it on my blog. I guess I better make a thread for it.
 
And the usually won't like at all:

But I won't take the OP link anyway. Maybe >IQ 80
 
Are you fucking cereal? That's saaaooo much bigger news than the 3DS.

Why the f*** do you insist on dragging the 3DS official announcement to a thread about a hint on a potential software announcement from Sony ?

Wait, what?? Where's the source for that? If they really did that, they're out of their minds..
Quantic Dream has always held proprietorship of their games. However, Sony paid for Heavy Rain's production, so I cannot imagine an appearance on another format…ever.

But... does't MS have first right of refusal? In other words, they get first pass on any new Bungie stuff. Even if the game concept is the most horrible, outrageous thing possible, MS would 100% snag it. So, unless I don't have my facts right, it's basically impossible for them to get on the PS3, no?
From what I understand, this isn't the case, actually. Though, with the mammoth price tag and lack of IP ownership, Microsoft is possibly the most likely candidate given that they have the most capital.
 
I remember back in my early days of GAF I had a burning urge to slap a nice chunk of brick tape across the mouths of the usual trolls.

But I guess since then Ive realised the more they talk big, the more they manage to shoot themselves in their foot then if I ever had put them in their place to begin with. The trolls just do all the work for you.

List wars replaced by hype wars? 'Our console gets more attention, we WINNN!!!'

:lol I'm sorry for derailing the thread, but this is too funny to pass up. This is a tag worthy metaphore for making absolutely no sense. First what is a bad penny and why would you tape it to a broken record? :lol

You're probably not old enough to understand the bad penny reference.

The saying is, "A bad penny always turns up."

What does OJG do? He turns up in every Sony thread.

The other saying is, "like a broken record."

Always trolling Sony, either stealthily, or not so stealthily.

Combine the two---by taping them together for instance---and you end up with both the conditions. You don't need a reason to tape them together, it is something that just happens, like stepping in dog shit.

Now that I've explained it it should make plenty of sense to you, and might even appear somewhat witty. Then again, YMMV. :D

Why not bring up the console that inspired the thread.

Makes sense.
 
Woo-Fu. OldJadedGamer. You both realize when I see you on the other forum, I'm gonna feel like the boy in the backseat sitting in awkward silence after watching my father bitch slap my mother?
 
What the hell happened to this thread? It sure got more crazy than usual.

Well, apparently OJG was caught furiously masturbating by Woo-Fu. They both engaged in a verbal fight that drained much attention...enough for some sneaky Nintendo fans to enter the thread and post about the next handheld...
Usual gaf !

I didn't know 2MinuteTurkish was a troll. You learn something new every day!

I knew the nintendo defence force was crazy but I didnt know how crazy... :lol

The Nintendo DF is crazy? Wow, you obviously don't post here much.

And now I'm a Nintendo fanboy? Cool, so I've graduated from Xbot then. Awesome.

I"m not. Some people just want me to be to make them feel better about themselves.

You're just confused *hug*

I did not even quote you or mention you yet you jumped in thinking its about you. There must be some truth to the statement.

:lol
 
Animator said:
Could have fooled me with the quoting.

If it's the quote I think it is we're talking about here.

I quoted you when you said you didn't know the Nintendo DF is crazy. I said you obviously haven't been here long since, the only rivals the GAF SDF have for pure insanity is those over at the Sega Forums Sonic section.

Is that what you were referring to?

edit: Just read the post again. Realised where the confusion lies. Sorry. Yeah I should have separated those statements better.

no this:

Arkam Asylum 2 makes sense. Can't really think of anything else.

Somebody mentioned Ninja Gaiden, which makes sense to me, given the post-Itagaki team's more positive view of the PS3. I just don't know if it'd be the megaton this rumor is implying.

Yeah, edited my post.

Realised where the confusion lay.

That wasn't a direct result of yours, just the general feeling I was getting. My response to you was actually only the first line.

Do Sony fans like Carmack? That makes all the difference in the world. Has he developed an exclusive game for a competing console, talked about PS3 development in a negative way, looked at an NPD, made friends with Gabe or anything else that gets you on that list?

I know he wanted to make a space bubble, but I can't see how that has anything to do with the PS3.

Although the last comments he has made on the subject seemed to switch to pro PS3, but I can't see him intentionally limiting the impact of how well the new engine is suppose to work across platforms, tbh.

Carmack said:
“The 360 was easier to certainly to get to where we are now. More sweat equity had to be put into the PS3,”

“There’s a little bit more theoretical raw performance on the PS3, so we’ve got a little bit more headroom.”
