yeah .. and gears lifted its mechanics from killswitch... so whats your point?

i'd hope that it isn't that gears revolutionised shooters with its brand new mechanics

They still got tons of time to improve it so i wouldn't worry too much.

Duh, I've said this many times before. In order to get the attention American public you must make a shooter or some form of military shooting game. Uncharted used to be a fantasy game and Sony told them to shift their focus to a shooter. Sony doesn't want to be the Xbox, they want the American sales which tend to be focused in that slim genre. The only thing they would ever want from Microsoft is the formula to a top notch multiplayer shooter (Which Microsoft doesn't even have themselves, because they bought the company that thought it up), they are just working off of the skeleton with 343 that Bungie left behind and they are building around it. It's the same thing with Infinity ward and Trayarch. 

Outside of finding the perfect military shooter and the proper online formula, Sony needs no other inspiration this gen from Microsoft. Quite frankly that is all Microsoft has truly brought to the industry. If you ask me as well, I've also been saying that if Sony was smart that they would keep investing in Japanese titles to keep the Japanese focused on them. Funding JRPG's instead of expensive militarys hooters like M.A.G. would've made them major profit and probably would have created newer mascots for the company than they've already gained. Think about it, that little two million gap between Microsoft and Sony would be erased, but guess what? Sony made the mistake and their sales in Japan are stunted when they could've been flourishing.

I don't see why Santa Monica can't have XBL sessions of games during breaks, but anyways, I actually canceled my pre-order recently because Bayonetta 2 will be on Wii U and I still have a lot of PS3 games I will have to buy(Last of Us, Beyond 2 Souls, Ni no Kuni etc...) so this is no longer on my list of PS3 games I'm going to buy.

You - Guy getting head ripped off

Santa Monica - Kratos

In God of War, Pre-order cancels YOU!

Im so hyped. Multiplayner in God of War Ascension looked better than most single plaqyer games.

Cant fucking wait for that epicness.

I gotta say I was a bit skeptical at first when it came to God of War multiplayer but from the looks of it they are making it as awesome as possible. I mean do you see that huge titan in the background as you're fighting. That's what I really think most games don't pay attention to. What's happening in the background as you're actually fighting another person. It just makes the experience feel that much more better. 

GOW III was one of my favourite games this generation and the multiplayer component of Ascension looks like it's going to add a lot of replay value. I'm still more excited about the single player, but from the scant footage we've seen of the multiplayer it's truly going to be something unique.

Well, I just don't see a huge difference since 1-3, I think they are a little stuck in the past with this game(not going to play it online since PC online gaming is superior so I'm too occupied with that for online gaming) so I'd rather support a newer IP, not that Bayonetta 1 surpassed God of War 3 since I consider Bayonetta an unfinished game but I'm just waiting to see what 2 will bring since I do like Bayonetta combat a lot more. If Bayonetta 2 is a complete package this time, then my bet of not buying DMC and GoW will pay off since I have a lot of other games to play along the way.

Not hating on you for cancelling the pre-order. I'm just being silly =P
