Spencer: “I’ll line up against Sony’s first party any day”

Fightin’ talk!

Tell us what’s out next year instead of smack-talking, you braggard.

He just won’t, Blerk. Not until he can guarantee the quality to the customers.

Is this the point where someone mentions Too Human?

Number of Too Human games released on the 360: 1
Number of Too Human games released on the PS3: 0

I’m not sure Too Human counts as a metric.

Or the fact that you’ll have to pay for the TF2 update on Live when PC owners get it free. Although I suppose there’s one solution to that…buy a PC!

It might be cheaper just to buy the update.

I miss Peter Moore. He managed to say stuff like this without sounding like a 13 year old internet troll.

Peter Moore was a god amongst men.

Huh?
Since when is “Gears of War” a first party title?
Does Microsoft own the IP? Not Epic?

Yes, Microsoft owns the IP.

I’ve got a habit of being wrong lately… do I don’t really want to disagree with Blerk, but I don’t think it is.

I think they have exclusive rights to publish the Gears of War games but Epic retains the IP.

I have no proof, other than a half-remembered article somewhere at some point which I may have dreamed. So you could be right.

I’m 99% sure it’s an Epic IP.

Pat agrees with me… I’m guaranteed to be wrong now.

Let’s ask Pachter, just to be sure.

The cheek of it!

Well, Pachter, Pat and Psychotext all agreeing at once is like the unholy trinity (PPP). Put all your money on the complete opposite being true!

Heh. A “triple-P prediction”. That’s in the canon now.

Glad that I pu No in front of my name, and my answers follow suit.

I am guessing it’s a matter of odd or even. One P will be wrong, 2 P’s will be right,, 3 P’s would be wrong, but luckily Pachter isn’t here.

And both Psychotext and patlike are right as far as I know.

And this guy is right about the success, Sony just don’t put as much marketing force behind their games. Especially in America (apparently).

But there’s some points I wouldn’t want to be arguing on his side.

GEoW is owned by EPIC, MS have publishing contracts for 2 GeOW titles, though they’ll no doubt revamp it to 2 more, atleast thats what i heard.

As for 360′s first party, i dont really agree with the man, mainly because, for one, most of their first parties are just bought publishing rights, and as soon as that contract ends the devs can take the games where ever they want, and second MS have a tendence to release their stuff on PC whilst its still exclusive to their name, not really changing a titles quaility, but more or less voiding the whole “You need a 360 to play it” thing.

As I thought: the GEoW IP is not owned by M$.
So Mr. Spencer should be more careful with his words …

Technically he never said who it belonged to…

Sony hasn’t even commented on who owns the rights to Rachet and Clank/Resistance. So I suspect it’s Insomniac.

The only proof Sony owns it is the Wikipedia page, and that’s not exactly proof. So both heavy hitting shooter exclusives this fall aren’t 1st party, 1 might be I guess – I don’t know.

It’s mine, actually, but I let them use it.

On another note, all this “We’re better!” talk does not really show a great deal of professionality, or confidence for that matter.

With FPS, coming out this fall why the hell is knowone talkin about Sony’s line up. Even if yor not a fan you got2 admit we got a few nice lookin 1′s droping this fall.

PS3 is moving alittle quicker.
