E3 rumours from our 2ch cousins

It doesn't have to relate to things that are currently exclusive...maybe something that's exclusive now that wasn't before?
In the other thread, people gravitated toward GTA being made wholly exclusive to PS3, or perhaps EA "skipping" X360 when it comes to certain big games (at least till PS3 was out..).
It could really be anything, though, undoubtedly expectations will get well out of control and no matter what's announced, it'll be disappointing. It is the way of the megaton.

Are you sure you aren't in Finland?
Clue: Will piss fanboys off
Clue: Izzy laughing at the suggestion of a defection, and how it is 'so not that'.
So its the opposite - Sony buying someone and therefore locking people out of their games if they buy other platforms.
Sony take a larger stake in SE?
Sony buy R*?
Sony buy one of the other major Japanese 3rd parties (Namco, Capcom, SEGA!?)

Honestly there's so many "mini-megatons" and "true megatons" and stabbings and death defying twists going on that I don't know WHAT anyone is refferring to anymore.
I got lost in the fray days ago

Either you're getting confused or I am
I think: Izzy was laughing at the suggestion that what they're talking about HERE in THIS thread is a defection. What they're talking about HERE in THIS thread is something to do with Cell and/or a possible scenario where Sony could screw early adopters (or so it seems to me).
The OTHER thread is talking about a defection..we had an explicit hint about one (KoTOR), and then there was talk of "betrayal" regarding another one...(though I don't think the word "defection" was used so much with respect to that) I don't think Izzy ever disagreed with these hints.

The thing they're hinting at in the other thread could easily be the prevention of what would be normally expected to go to MS's system, going to that system. Not necessarily a defection, but still possibly a betrayal (aka, "sorry, we can't put this on your system anymore").
Who knows though.

I wondered about this, but Izzy said something along the lines of "I can't believe MS didn't get this one". Which makes it sound game-related, but..
Have something to share?

I have no idea what this is about.
Though I might point to some vague posts I made once and pretend I did after the event...
*cough*

This was suggested in the other thread, and indeed it would be "teh megaton" (a big shot in the arm for Sony's online credibility, and simultaneous blow to MS's, one of their big strengths). It's feasible when you also consider EA wasn't exactly convinced by MS's online model..this way they'd have an excuse for not supporting it anymore, and gain something in the process.
But it seems a little big to happen IMO.
So basically
Nintendo have been bought by Eidos.
Eidos blew all the War Chest on LAra Croft merchandise.
No one bought it cos, PSP had PRON
Sony bought out Nintendo and used Mario and Peach as a pimp and Whore in new GTA. M$ bought Sony out after Stringer suddenly displayed strange behaviour and sold Nintendo off to M$. Namco then decided just to make a game for the hell of it with all KNOWN gaming IP's and made so much money they bought everyone out and closed down the gaming industry?
IS THAT RIGHT??

Sony will probably follow the same model as PS2 - free, but third parties are also free to charge themselves, encouragement to stay free asides - so this would be a given anyway. Don't expect Sony to follow a Live structure, at least from a backend/publisher point of view. I'll be happy if the enduser experience is seamless and unified across all online games on PS3 (as with Live)..beyond that, I'm not particularly pushed as to the specifics of the backend dealings and implementation, as long as it works.
Agreed. EA also accounts for around ~15-20% of PS2 3rd party license fees, I don't see SCEI dropping that just for online bragging rights. That'd be a huge money drain at a time they need to recoup investment more than ever (after just launching two loss taking platforms).gofreak said:
After Capcom's disappointing transition to Nintendo last generation, I could see them going back to Sony and becoming an exclusive third party, or being bought out. I find that the most likely.
Blizzard would probably go MS if anything, due to the similarity to the PC architecture. However, I know nothing but what my friends in MS tell me. And they only talk about the 360 architecture, not the games.

This thread is comedy gold.
I can't wait until E3. There's going to be something for all 3 major console maker fanboys to gloat about a little and there will be a "twist" that may bring GAF server down in flames when it gets announced.
Fun times ahead.
