Forza is Microsofts boutique racing franchise.
Dead rising is a Capcom ip

As for killzone, it strikes me as a poor answer to halo. Always has done always will. Infamous I think still has huge potential. Id agree that shadowfall will break even at best.
Its a shame insominac shit the bed with Resistance. If they just kept to the R1 forumla, they would have a COD/Gears competitor on their hands now instead of a dead franchise.
i have a killzone headshot kill chirp ringtone on my phone. crack indeed...

Sounds like you're mad because KZ2 wasn't a twitch shooter.

It's worth asking just to shut up the doinks that still insist that Sony really is still doing XBOne DRM.
Wow, thanks, it's like a real AMA, even the first question is a toughie about PS+

So, who was it from here that actually asked him about Jumping Flash?
Wha?
edit - seems Jim mis-interpreted the question about PS4 to Vita streaming. I'm pretty sure this will be available day-1.

One thing I don't understand. Why were Sony not hounded to reveal their DRM plans after their February reveal?

The rumor mill at the time from DAE, Kotaku, and the rest of the media had found leaked information that Microsoft was applying a stone cold DRM wall. Sony had yet to even suggest anything like that to third parties.

So they never clarified this, then a campaign was started to stop them doing something they had no intention of doing in the first place basically?
Because Microsoft didn't confirm the DRM rumours till May, and up until then everyone just assumed it was the status quo in terms of game ownership, or at least thought no-one was stupid enogh to try it.

Because they went silent after the February reveal. Which left only their PR people to talk and their response was always along the lines of "We haven't announced anything yet, but we've always tried to make the right decisions for both gamers and our publishing partners".
Not just MS, but people were campaigning against Sony as well. See the PS4NoDRM and XB1NoDRM twitter.

Yeah I am talking about Sony, I just was wondering about the timeline of the whole thing. They were smart to get good PR but it seems they had long ago decided against using any DRM, they could have said this any time from February and journalists could have pushed them to.
Instead they got a massive PR victory through not doing something they were never going to do with the PS4NoDRM stuff.
Just after the February event, there were a lot of interviews, and in one of them Yoshida answered the used game question by saying that the PS4 won't block used games (after consulting with a PR person). At the time it was good enough, but after the MS reveal people realized that "PS4 won't block used games" could still mean that there's some sort of back-end transaction model that's required to play them (despite the fact that would actually be blocking them unless you pay).

Yep. That's why I'm confused when some fans say Sony listened to the PS4NoDRM campaign. It's awesome they never had any intention of adding an always online check, but they were still playing a PR game by waiting to reveal their DRM plans at E3.
