He said multi-plats don't count.

Also, according to Gamerankings, Forza 2 has an 89.8% average ratio. Which happens to be the same ratio as Uncharted. Since Starcraft likes to so often remind us that Uncharted is not AAA, I guess by his definition, Forza 2 isn't either. I guess I can cross that one off the list as well.

Except the entire argument is based on Metacritic, where FM2 is 90 and Uncharted is 88.

After the Orcarina of Time fiasco, I'm surprised anyone still uses GR.

Somehow I knew you'd try to get out of it.

As in go buy us some coffee.

I have to buy a PS3 to play MGS4. The only games I can't play without buying a 360 are Forza 2 and Halo 3. It is only a matter of time before Halo 3 appears on the PC.

The definition of exclusive isn't: not on PS3.

Still you were close with 7

I didn't say that was the definition of exclusive. In fact, the two posts where I mentioned the seven AAA titles the 360 has that the PS3 doesn't made no mention of the word 'exclusive' at all...........

eah but I said 1-1 in exclusive AAA games. Your comeback to that was to say that the 360 had 7 AAA games that the PS3 doesn't have. Then, in the same post, you said I was wrong, when in-fact what I said will be correct once Halo 3 inevitably gets a PC release.

At this point in time, my statement was correct, yours was incorrect.

If the point means that much too you, bring the thread back if Halo 3 goes to the PC and neither console has got another AAA game in the meantime.

Actually Mine was correct. I was going by gamerankings where Forza 2 is at 89

Everyone knows the only reason you chose metacritic is because it works in the 360's favor. If it were the other way around (or changes any time in the future) I'm sure you will change your mind and support gamerankings, because in the end, you're a shill.

I doubt you have a real opinion on either site, you don't care, as long as one makes the 360 look better than the other.

I say just average together GR and MC...

But back on topic, I'm not sure how I feel about this. While the ideas sound pretty good, I can't see them straying from the formula so much. Sure, Cory Barlog is gone, but if anything that would encourage them to stick with the proven formula, since they know it works. Going into uncharted waters with out Cory at the helm could lead to trouble, and I don't think Sony would want to risk the franchise like that.

And, tbh, I can't see some unknown site like this getting the scoop on something big like this.

For now, I'm filing these under the rumor category. If they turn out to be true, I hope they are done right, but I have my worries given Cory's absence.
