I just got another EGM magazine today and read thru the rumors page...

here's what it says:

Dough rising

If you remember a few months back(October issue if you are alittle brain dead), I had a tidbit that the reanimated return of Dead Rising would land exclusively on the PS3. Well seems Sony's plans met an early grave. Yep, my undead sources tell me that Microsoft delivered a marvelous moneyhat to Capcom in order to keep Dead Rising 2 an Xbox360 exclusive.

Crossing Platforms

Before the PS3 joined the console race, Sony's beefy system gobbled up a bunch of great exclusives like Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, and Virtual Fighter 5. But now that publishers are seeing the system sales, the thought of exclustivity aint so lucrative anymore. In fact I caught wind many PS3 "exclusives" will either be pushed to 2008 or will also appear on Xbox360 to cover both the development costs and small user base of the PS3.

Now we've seen that Virtual Fighter 5 (Sega) is coming to the Xbox360 later this year...thats why we kept hearing a sea of rumors on MGS4's (Konami) possible port to the Xbox360 so even if Sony died trying to pay Konami a zillion bucks, Konami proably wouldnt care less and just port it to other consoles as they like. And with the success sales on Dead Rising (and possibly Lost Planet) on the Xbox360, it would be no surprise that Capcom likes to show off DMC4 on the Xbox360 as well.

Keep your eyes peeled.
 
Dante on 360...woooo cant wait im keeping my fingers crossed for DMC4 not to be a PS3 exclusive. :)

Reminds me today at the walfart I saw a lot of unsold PS3's so it might be a sign that the PS3 will have to share their exclusives with the 360.

Actually, Dante proably wont be playable in DMC4 thou a new "hero" will make his first appearance in DMC4...and his name is Nero. (dont ask me.)

Anyway, he is alot like Dante in some ways...with his style and action and his white hairdo, etc...he is related to Dante as well.

Hope DMC4 would be good thou even if it does port to the Xbox360 sometime.
 
MS better coming up to produce HD-DVD 50gb that devil may cry 4 and metal gear solid 4 need.
 
Dead Rising will port to PS3? You means that MS want Dead Rising 2 to be exclusive on Xbox 360 for short time, around 6-12 month?
 
I can careless about games to be exclusive cuz gotta both of them.

I'm still get PS3 because of Linux, BD movies, Getaway, Tekkan, GTA and Ridge Racer 7.

Who knows?

I wouldnt really be surprised if even the orginal Dead Rising ports to the PS3 someday. Same with Dead Rising 2, I wouldnt be surprised if it even goes to PS3 and Xbox360 since Resident Evil 5 will be ported on both PS3 and Xbox360 in the future.

If MS do that, then it will certainly upset some Xbox360 owners who dont even have a HD-DVD player and have to shell out 200 bucks just for 50gb HD-DVD games like MGS4 and DMC4.

MS has long ago said that they only made HD-DVD drive for HD-DVD movies only and I think that's plenty fair enough for Xbox360 owners...

we wouldnt want a repeat of Sega CD, do we?

besides, there's always extra discs and I dont think it would hurt either.

:werd: better to keep HD-DVD and regular DVD separate. Sega got burned so bad on the SegaCD and 32x. M$ is learning from Sega's mistakes and they dont want history to lump M$'s mistakes with Sega's. Damn Im beginning to think of my xbox 360 as Sega Genesis reborn :lol:

And Capcom is hedging their bets by doing ports on 360 exclusives cuz if they only did PS3 exclusives all the time they would be begging for mercy in bankruptcy court...

Saints Row will be porting on the way to the PS3 as well.



Of course, it's not all that suprising since no one said this game would be an Xbox360 exclusive anyway.

MS don't make mistake for not port 360 with HD-DVD on launch day but not release until 2006 and supposed to release in 2006, also there's pros and cons. If HD-DVD support ROM then allow developers to make games on this format and would find out that want compete with PS3.

I'm planning to get HD-DVD add-on in next month instead of PS3 but rather to get PS3 in March or April after get enough money from bank.

Speaking of PS3...I've went to target today with my brother and saw at least about 5 PS3 packages in stock around 4pm but havent seen a single Wii in stock at all! not even in Wal Mart, Best Buy, or Circuit City, etc... and my gf got the last wii at toys r us afew days ago as well.

so obviously, from the sales chart we saw, the Wii has been selling pretty well during the holiday season but for the PS3 has been sold around 1 million while the Wii has been sold around 4 million so thats a big fat ouch for the PS3.

Let's see what the future holds for the PS3 and Wii, shall we?

Wii? What's point? I'm talking about compare with PS3 and 360.
 
If PS3 is going outsell Wii soon then would be possible to happen that, also doesn't compare with 360 and PS3.

because wii is part of videogames, thats the point...

people buy wii because they love videogames. wii have full backwards compatiablity with gamecube games and include a wi-fi feature with virtual console gaming, weather forecast, news, and the opera (internet) etc... but mostly just games, thats for sure.

PS3 is a mulitmedia console and most ppl believes that the PS3 should be a videogame console but do you really need blu-ray for hi-def movies? most PS3 games on blu-ray discs only run in 720p. not 1080p. thou Sony bragged about 1080p and 60fps on such games as motor storm and ridge racer 6 but Sony lied so its most definetly 720p and 30fps. When playing PS3 games on a 1080p TV, it doesnt upscale either. Not many PS3 games are being sold very well since there were alot of the same games on the Xbox360 anyway.

Most ppl would buy a PS3 for blu-ray movies because it's cheaper than a stand alone blu-ray player, or sell them on Ebay for more hard green cash.

MAYBE the PS3 could rise alittle higher once some big games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4 gets released, we'll check on the sales chart again after the next holidays season. Right now, we can just sit and watch how it goes. ;)

RR7 does support 1080p, that one of few games that support 1080p, also some new games will release that support 1080p too. Only reason that Sony want BD for more capacity and almost rest of PS3 games are made on BD. Why does you complain about BD? DVD is fucking limited and some game developers are going cut on storyline or removes some feature to make fit so well. I wouldn't surprised if MS want go ahead to make Halo 3 or GTA 4 on HD-DVD and doesn't care about some gamers that can't afford but only want compete with PS3 then would make fair for MS to do that.

When back in 2001, Gamecube is used sold so well and went down after few years for some reason, such as lacking of third party games and feature. Now, It can be happen to Wii and it was impressive right now but not know about would going happen same as Gamecube does. For me, I'm not get Wii because of motion sensor, also I hate motion sensor and PS3 does have options to enable or disable since Wii don't have it.

For me, Wii isn't compare with PS3 and 360 or whatever then fuck them.
 
I think BD is great for collecting information, but for games and movies? I dont know about that as for HD-DVDs it seems to make sense to me that they can be used for games and movies since DVD is in the HD form.

So...some companies such as porn industries complain the cost of developing BD for adult films while they find HD-DVD to be cheaper and easier, but of course, that being said, even the BD agency proably refused to let porn industries support BD on some of their adult films because to be perfectly honest, porn is a FUCKING HUGE ASS business lol so of course years ago there were porn on betamax too but rumors had it that porn were put on vhs than on betamax but I wouldnt know cause I wasnt born yet.

I can see that BD is getting alot of sales than HD-DVD but what confuse me is that the PS3 is slowly being sold now while the Wii is being sold pretty damn fast as a bullet train. Since you work in Wal Mart, would you mind telling me if you seen any Wiis in stock? and how many? and how many PS3s in stock? etc...since your the employeer at Wal Mart, you do the math.

Anyway, it would suck to see MS making games on HD-DVD...thou I already have one but I would rather use it for movies anyway ah well.

That's sad about most big store like Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target don't accept to sell porn movies but rest of porn movies are on DVD and that can get from Sam Goody.

For Wii and PS3, we don't receiving Wii from truck for almost one month and does got PS3 about most weekly since Sony shipped more PS3 every week, unlike 360 and Wii does. I went to EBgames and saw some Wii is stock in.
