Must be a long way off if they aren't even confident enough to put "Coming in 2009" on it.

After CoD4, a new BIA game is going to have to come with sex and free beer to get anyone to even give it a glance.

So this is this E3's top contender for "Sony's Purest Vapor Award" held last year by "Eight Days"? Let's see if Sony goes a full year before quietly canceling it.

Over promise and under deliver is the Sony way. Weren't we promised at the last E3 that we would be attending E3 2008 virtually via Home? I guess that went the way of "full PS2 compatability".

The last Wheelman trailer looked like the lamest Driver/GTA ripoff of all time. MK vs. DC looks like a worse idea than Marvel:Rise of the Imperfects.

How are you supposed to tell the zombies from the people playing the slots?

Obviously they had enough calls relative to the number of downloads to decide to pull the release. If it was some made up issue by 360 fanboys, Sony wouldn't have pulled the firmware. They also pulled it before noon on a weekday, so most people with PS3 (who have jobs) were unable to download the firmware assuming…

They had a year after the 360 launched to add all these features to the PS3. Now they are trying to shoehorn them into an OS that wasn't designed to have all this stuff running in the background and they're surprised there are issues? It's like the Blu-ray profile fiasco all over again. "Sorry. Your $1500 player can't…

It is petty crap like this that makes game developers stop listening to the Web for customer feedback. Any useful information gets drowned out by all these whining, backseat game designers that real designers figure "I will get complaints no matter what I do, so I might as well do what I want".

Might as well make it sound like a Xerox machine.

"The majority of games support it". Those are some carefully chosen words. He didn't say "the vast majority of games", or "most games", of "almost all games" which leads me to believe that a lot of games don't work well or at all with the in-game XMB.

How meta is this? The original Discovery Channel version features the voices of the Red vs Blue guys as the astronauts and now their voices have been put back into their original Spartan bodies.

It will take about ten seconds (but still cost the state of New York several million dollars) for this to get struck down by the courts. The government can't make games be rated by a voluntary institution like the ESRB. Also, this legislation could easily be used to block the sale of any shareware game, any XNA title,…

After being rated by the BBFC they can be sent for rating by the Department of Redundancy Department. Of course, if the BBFC had to start rating games, they'd need more funds and more employees, but I'm sure that wasn't their motive at all...

"seems pretty harmless to me" I guess you haven't been on the Internet lately where people from Europe and Australia constantly bitch about how other countries get games late, censored, or not at all because of their respective ratings boards with their crazy ideas about what constitutes "acceptable".

@lordkertaz: That's the problem. Movies, music, and books DO NOT have mandatory ratings (and for very good reasons). Can you go into Walmart and buy a DVD that is the "Unrated Director's Cut"? Of course you can (and Walmart will card you if you look under 25)! But if NY gets its way (it won't because this is 100%…

I'd buy it if they included a coupon for a 3D figurine of one of your creatures like these:

Probably not a joke. I remember Moranis on the Letterman show shortly before HIStK came out and Dave was making fun of him. Ghostbusters 2 had just opened and Dave asked if he got any share of the profits and he said "No but I got a huge part of Honey," and Letterman just laughed at him and said something like "Better…

Big secret? You mean besides the fact that the character you play R:FoM2 and all your squad members are clones of the main character of Resistance 1 and that's why you only have 19 hours to live? Whoops. Did I just say that out loud?

@Tyrannical: "Small loss"? Think about this. The PS2 hardware is being sold for a profit. So is the PSP. All the peripherals Sony sells have relatively large profits. They sell a PS3 remote for $20 that probably costs about $4 to make and the official PS3 HDMI cable is $50 when you can buy a no-name cable retail…
