Slayer X Mar 1, 2007 05:22 PM

This is the type of thing Sony usually does after their console launch. Like when the PS2 launched and the lack of games, as well as all the current ones sucked, Sony came out and announced a lot of stuff then too. Ex. Online features, ton of heavy hitter titles, etc. While this will be a hell of a gun to aim at the competition if it ends up being true, if more announcements like this follow through the year, it may actually make a dent in the 360's hull. Fingures crossed.

P.S.
Anyone know what this PlayStation card is? Is it like a pre-paid card for the PSN or something?

Soldier Mar 1, 2007 05:31 PM

That's exactly what it is.

Also, to keep the good news rolling, Sony and Immersion shook hands, kissed and made up.

Quote:

SAN JOSE, Calif. and FOSTER CITY, Calif., March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Immersion Corporation, (Nasdaq: IMMR - News), a leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) today announced the companies have agreed to conclude their patent litigation at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and have entered into a new business agreement to explore the inclusion of Immersion technology in PlayStation® format products.

"We are pleased to have put this litigation behind us," said Immersion CEO Victor Viegas. "Our new business agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment is specifically intended to enable advanced vibration capability for the benefit of the PlayStation gaming community. We are happy to provide our technology in this regard and hope to make technical proposals very soon with respect to use of our technology in the PlayStation products."

Immersion will receive the amount of the judgment entered by the District Court, which includes damages, pre-judgment interest, costs, and interest, in addition to retaining compulsory license fees ordered by the District Court which were already paid. Terms of the business agreement between the parties provide SCE with certain new rights with respect to Immersion's patent portfolio. Additional financial terms are not being disclosed. The conclusion of this litigation and the agreement will have no material impact on Sony's consolidated earnings forecast announced on January 30, 2007.

"We look forward to exploring with Immersion exciting new ways to bring the largest and best range of gameplay experiences to our customers," said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group Chief Operating Officer, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "We are very excited about our new partnership with Immersion and the potential for new and innovative products incorporating their technologies."
So yeah, new controller with rumble feature on the way, most likely. Kind of sucks, but it's not like anyone will be surprised when Nintendo makes their second Wii controller.

Oh, and Playstation HOME is now pretty much a given, as Sony just made their angry face at the leaked news.

On the other side, I don't really care if Bioshock comes to PS3 or not for the game doesn't interest. I might rent it for my 360, but other then that it looks too coring and without multiplayer probably won't have much of a replay value. Look at prey which was their last game. Great first time through, then it was an immediate trade-in.

Crackdown went to retail at 59.99, i know i bought the game on launch. most likely the reason you saw it at 59.99 CAD is because the store clerks got confused like most canadians and marked it cheaper then it should have been.

I personally don't care if Bioshock is exclusive or not, as i own all 3 systems. I just loathe any form of idle speculation espically when it comes from fanboys like SOLDIER.

If the SIXAXIS comes out with rumble features, it will be the best controller on the market. The SIXAXIS already is the only redeeming quality i've found abouyt the PS3 since owning my PS3.

Soldier Mar 1, 2007 05:40 PM

Uh, posting a source saying that Bioshock might hit the PS3 isn't speculating.

Yep, let's review your original post.

Quote:

Oh, and OPM UK confirmed that Bioshock is coming for the PS3. It was always hinted, but never actually confirmed, so this is certainly good news. I've been very interested in this game since the IGN trailer.
No link or anything. I would call this speculation at it's finest. Hell, their isn't even a such thing as OPM UK in the first place. It was also never hinted by 2k that Bioshock would be on the PS3, it was just a rumour thrown around and eventually some people took it as fact.

Soldier Mar 1, 2007 05:47 PM

The source was GAF. There wasn't a link available because it was from the magazine. I admit it was presumptious to say "confirmed" as I'm not familiar with that magazine's reliability, but whatever. Stop whining about it.

If it was from a magazine, their would be scans. The scans that were eventually shown, were proved to be false in all accounts. I'm generally easy going when it comes to games and rumours, but i don't like seeing rumours thrown around as truth espically from some fanboy like you.

I'm sure if i went around spouting that FFXIII will be on the 360 because of some shady flippant magazine article, you'd get all defensive and scream foul. Before you post shit, check the sources to make sure they check out in the future, mmkay?

This will save you from being called out in the future for being a dumbass.

Soldier Mar 1, 2007 05:54 PM

For the record, GAF doesn't allow magazine scans, therefore the lack of any.

Slayer X Mar 1, 2007 05:54 PM

Here's what he's reffering to.

P.S.
Sucks for you Americans cause Crackdown was 59.99 here from WalMart to Futureshop.

Soldier Mar 1, 2007 05:55 PM

Nah, I photoshopped those. That's the kind of fanboy that I am.

I know and those were proven to be doctored scans. If he took the time to verify his sources and doublecheck, he would have known that. I'm not in america, i'm currently living in japan and get my 360 games from the import shop. The retail price according to the distributor of crackdown is 59.99. You, canadians probably just mistook the $ symbol for the CAD symbol and underpriced the games, great for you the consumer, sucks for the retailer.

I'm just awaiting the fallacious rumours that Gears of war is PS3 bound.

Quote:

I wouldn't doubt it espically with your latest journal entrys were you contiounsly try to say ports to the PS3 are far superior then the 360 versions, when you haven't even played the games yet.

Slayer X Mar 1, 2007 06:25 PM

Ports in general suck 80% of the time, I don't care what system they're for/on.

You're always going to hear rumours that X game is coming to Y system because people don't want to buy the system it's for whether it be for $ or fanboy reasons. So to dwell on something like this beyond saying that a port is unconfirmed at this time is pointless and a waste of time.

For something a little more productive, is Tekken DR up yet?

SouthJag Mar 1, 2007 07:20 PM

Oh goddamnit. Sony's gonna remove the EE chip from PS3s now? I'll be getting a new PS3 after that and once the new controller is unveiled. Still, I'm glad to hear Sony and Immersion are getting along now.

Soldier Mar 1, 2007 07:31 PM

Tekken 5 is Go.

Yeah, makes it almost sound like having a PS2 to play PS2 games would be better huh?

But Kudos to getting the Rumble thing taken care of. I still ain't gonna get one until its much cheaper though, if I even decide to get one. I still haven't gotten the Wii yet -_-

Soldier Mar 1, 2007 07:57 PM

Go fucking figure, the server got borked just as I was downloading. Not fast enough. :(

Inhert Mar 1, 2007 10:28 PM

I just hope that the sixaxis will work well with the new rumble feature. I'm glad i didn't buy another controller yet, I'll wait till those new one come out.

btw what happen to tekken 5 DR? it still not up in the ps store >.>

Additional Spam:
WTF!! so apparently tekken 5 DR is only for the US??? what about canada damn it ; ;

Slayer X Mar 1, 2007 10:50 PM

So it's not just me who's as confused as hell.

Inhert Mar 1, 2007 10:53 PM

damn it this just so fucking lame! I just hope it's an error that they kind of "forgot" to put it in the Canada store, I surely hope they will add it and not give us the lame thing "sorry it's US only".... well they can,t really do that since europe will have it too... I just hope we don't have to wait till the PAL release before we have it... damn I'm piss now I wanted for this for a long time and even refuse to buy VF5 at a discount price because I wanted to test tekken first >.<

Metal Sphere Mar 2, 2007 06:29 PM

Hmm, to calm all of you who are rightfully annoyed at T5's handling here are some scans of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Someone over on PSINext scanned these:

These are from the new EGM, for those who want to know.

SouthJag Mar 2, 2007 07:02 PM

I can't wait until the new R&C game comes out. They've always been superior titles and this one looks incredible. It's too bad the title doesn't have any sexual innuendo (none that I can see, anyway).

Hauton Mar 2, 2007 08:24 PM

Ahem, "tools" of destruction?

SouthJag Mar 2, 2007 09:15 PM

But compared to Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, and Size Matters, Tools of Destruction is rather tame.

Slayer X Mar 2, 2007 10:05 PM

lol, yeah, but you've got to admit that their titles rock because we get a chuckle out of them and the young ones have no idea why.
