I wonder why...they certainly would've had to make a compromise on something to get out of that agreement, and the Xbox sales of GTA were incredibly poor compared to PS2 sales (mostly because of the timed exclusivity, one would assume)...was it worth it? :/

I think its because they wanted money. It also shows they don't want in another exclusive deal like that. But yah I agree there was likely some deal they worked out for Sony to agree to letting the deal go considering how much GTA sold.

Maybe the deal was a timed exclusive for the first next-gen GTA game.

I'm guessing Take-Two being able to continue making PSP and PS2 versions will serve as sort of a kind of leverage for Sony on Take-Two.

I'm HOPING for a next gen WipeOut to be shown...and available for launch!

I can't see Sony Liverpool being able to complete 2 games for launch. So either F1 or Wipeout would have to come out later.

I'll take F1 if it looks anything like the E3 2005 video.

Hmmm...it would be a tough choice if the F1 game was known to play well (gotta wait for E3 impressions).

Ah well, as long as it's in the works. I was kind of hoping it would be ready for launch a la PSP.

Damn, I was all giddy inside. But at least now I have a realistic expectation. :p

I don't know, seems like Amir0x's source and Skip's source were drinking at the same bar when they overheard what they did. How many people make up a conspiracy? two or three?

WO is one of those recognizable Sony series which means there's a chance you could see it at Sony's E3 conference. I'd love for Twisted Metal to also be there but I don't know how possible that is. I think Incognito is working Project HL and Warhawk right now so they have their hands full.

Haven't they already confirmed that?

I haven't heard anything official just rumours. The most appealing thing about the 360 to me at the moment is Live Arcade. If Sony match it MS have lost a selling point which will make waiting for Halo 3 and few price drops much much easier.

Here it is

If WoW is coming to the PS3 wouldn't that pretty much confirm that system is coming with the harddrive? I doubt Blizzard would put it on the system if it was just optional.

Wouldn't have to also confirm that k/b support will be used for this game if true? Who would want to play WoW using a controller?

Again who started this rumor?

Did the PS3 controller having gyros come from the 1up podcast?

That doesn't mention arcade games though. It's not very specific. I want things like SF2 like Live Arcade is getting with online play.

I don't think they've mentioned anything about that, but given what Harrison said about it i'd imagine they're working on that.

Could be tha announcement that'll change peoples opinion on the PS3.

so ign insider does not offer a LIVE stream of the sony conference but gamespot does - for FREE?
Click to expand...

This whole gamespot feed is free deal better not impact their servers. I mean i have nothing against everyone being able to get the feed for free, but for those of us paying, it better be fuckin smoooooooooooooooth. Otherwise someone needs to get shot!

I suppose their servers will priorize gamespot plus users, and if they run out of bandwith will kick random "poors" away :lol

So then it's purely wild speculation?

Yes. Lots of speculation overfloweth from that 1up podcast, but it's all speculation.

Less than 12 hours to the real deal :)

Well aside VF5 which has been confirmed to be a PS3 exclusive, the rest is still speculation. But I can easily see one or two things amir0x hinted to become true.
