EA: Next-gen Xbox rumour a “complete fabrication”

@49 I love how these shitty consoles games still manage to get GOTY every year from your highly praised PC Now go change your diaper kid and go play that crap fest Crysis 2 (what a joke that garbage should have stayed in the trash PC)

@51, that crap fest like Crysis 2 was consolized so yeah i agree, it should stay for the PC from the start.

also, i don’t remember so much of a GOTY at this year, except for the fact that GOTY games like Witcher 2 soon, Portal 2 (It’s Valve and PC is always a priority) and SHOGUN:TOTAL WAR 2 are already on the market and GOTY.

So as always, you are wrong, playstation slave.

@1

Why should Nintendo be kicked out of the gaming world? I bet you are a 15 year old pussy who has a 360 and does nothing else but play crappy FPS like COD: Black ops. You don’t have to agree, I know I’m right. Who do you think formed the gaming industry to what it is today? BTW who would Sony and M$ copy if Nintendo would disappear? And no I’m not a Nintendo fanboy. I haven’t bought a Nintendo console since the N64, but I do respect them for all they did and will keep on doing. I’m pretty sure both Sony and M$ will copy their new controller at some point..

@52 if you think Portal 2 is going to get GOTY you’re stupid especially when reviewers were giving it a 10 at the start and then later retracting their statements.

Witcher 2 HA! PC pirates already have there P2P file sharing clients ready…that game doesn’t have a chance of getting GOTY.

Now a console game…you bet your ass. I’ll even give you a hint as to which one. Its the game you keep claiming will look worst because its now supporting 3D Tell your mommy to boost your high chair a little back from your telly because those graphics are going to blow you away kid.

@55, retard. I don’t know who will get GOTY. But Portal 2, Witcher 2 sure will be nominated for GOTY. Thats enough.

“Witcher 2 HA! PC pirates already have there P2P file sharing clients ready…that game doesn’t have a chance of getting GOTY.”

Dream bitch, because last one sold really well and this time it will sell even better. We all know that PS3 sales are always shit compared to Xbox 360 or PC.

Do you want to know sales of Starcraft II or World Of warcraft:Cataclysm? Go figure, child
or maybe Xbox 360 multiplatform titles or Halo and Gears Of War?

” I’ll even give you a hint as to which one.”

same you said about your SHITZONE Three that is 80+ on metacritic. Hahaha

Do you actually get more stupid each day? That’s to 55 and 56.

I do think microsoft will unveil the new XBOX this e3, now they feel the pressure from nintendo and they dont want to be caught up, they want to steel momentum to nintendo and thats understandable, that is why i give this news credibility, but one thing is for sure this e3 will rock if we we are going to have two consoles anouncements.

“Erthazus:We all know that PS3 sales are always shit compared to Xbox 360 or PC.”

joke of the century!!I can’t stop laughing
What was the last multiplatform game on PC that sold better on PC compared to ps3?!oh I remembered!!Call of Duty: Black OPS, Modern Warfare 2, Assassins Creed 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, GTA IV …

Fact is only Blizzard and Valve can sell on PC.

@59: Portal 2?

@60: sorry. only Blizzard and Valve! post 59 edited

Civs sell really well too. And the Age of Empires games. And The Sims games. Not to mention countless casual games that while might not be as manly gamewise, can’t discount them either.

So ya I would agree, Blizz isn’t the only ones able to move a PC game.

As for multiplate games, sure a console game is prolly gonna always sell best on a console.

Damn, there are a lot of stupid fanboys on here, it’s so annoying seeing your wall of text arguments, which most of the time have nothing to do with the topic.

Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if microsoft are thinking of rushing a new console, now that nintendo have something comming.

I just wonder though, if you think back to the first 360 games, it didn’t seem like a big step from the previous generation, they just gradually got better. Where as the PS3 seemed to have better looking games early on. Just my opinion.

What it can do is not important… its NAME is what I would like to know. I mean Xbox 720 is fucking retarded imo, i’m hoping for some imagination. A guy mentioned Nextbox earlier… that’s kinda catchy

@ 63: Early PS3 games looked exactly the same as early 360 games.

@63 Indeed, this thread went to shit in record time.

#28 “there is no point for Microsoft to show machine at this E3 when they just relesed kinect in 2010″

there is no point for nintendo to show machine at this E3 when they just released 3ds in 2011

..oh wait

@65 They really didn’t, I remember when 360 came out, I really wasn’t impressed. I remember some games that looked worse than some origanl xbox/ps2 games. I’m sure I heard that some games were rushed in development to keep up with the launch date.

When I think of the early ps3 games I think of resistance and heavenly sword, which have some nice graphics, just saying it how it is.

That wasn’t my point anyway and the graphics on both consoles now are very close, the ps3 might take the edge when it comes to exclusives graphics.

The point was that microsoft want to be ahead of the competition and that’s good, look how the 360 has done. I’m sure people don’t even remember the crappy looking early games.

I’ve updated it. EA’s said outright this isn’t true.

Nothing to see here then.

Move along please.

Whatever happened to good old “we don’t comment on rumour and speculation”? I’m not sure I can handle this new-fangled “that’s a complete load of bollocks” line!

@71 – they use that for when its actually true XD

Right. Nonsensoleum-fuelled console slagging aside, I agree with OlderGamer and drew.

I don’t think we should be pushing gaming hardware these days, but high concept gaming ideas. I’ll cite some examples. Guild Wars 2 is trying to move away from everything that makes a traditional MMORPG what it is whilst barely remaining a MMORPG and being better for it, it’s got a lot of ideas in there that could go terribly wrong, but someone has to try these things! There needs to be evolution. And another great example is the likes of flOwer and Journey on the PS3.

We need to look at games and think, okay, we know what sort of game that is, now let’s try doing something new and interesting with it. It won’t work every time, but it should be done regardless. Another of my favourite examples is Spore and Darkspore – brilliantly progressive games, but it was only a niche audience that actually understood them, it seemed to go over the heads of many and few understood the point. But they need to exist.

Things can be learned from every experiment, and these things will be filtered down into countless thousands of future games. For example – Spore/Darkspore has an absolutely astounding procedural animation system that Maxis will continue to try to use. Spore itself allowed you to put together almost anything you could imagine, if you had the right mods and you were talented/imaginative enough.

There’s worth in every experiment, whether it succeeds or fails. Even if it only has a tiny bit of critical success, it moves the entertainment industry forward. I think the only problem at the moment is that we’re heading the way of Hollywood – endless, mindless blockbusters with not much worth to them, and very little innovation. Better hardware has never and will never fix that.

I have a lot of hopes held with certain big developers, some independent ones, that I know to watch for interesting ideas (and they rarely disappoint me). And hopefully they’ll continue dragging along the metaphorical metathorax that is the rest of the games industry. Doing exciting new things which may have no commercial worth at all.

One other thing I’ll note that I’m intrigued by is the new spat of Minecraft-alikes. At first it was cheap cash-ins, but now we’re moving beyond that and some people are genuinely trying to iterate upon it and even revolutionise the idea. Have you seen Terraria? If not, look it up!

CVG.com is reporting this is true. http://www.computerandvideogames.com
Can you say PS3 price drop?

@76

Yeah and yet they don’t update the site about EA claiming its false along with other sites claiming its false. I wonder why that is could it be it makes more hits keeping the false version up?
