*claps hands* Bravo Starcraft, beautiful spin!

I think that it was delayed due to the PS3 version, and while the money wasn't directly applied to the PS3, it helped cover the costs that they had associated with overhead and whatnot. I do believe the XBOX 360 version of the game was at stake also, early reports stated that it was very choppy, and not put together, and it was shown on 360.

But that was some beautiful spin.

You blatantly ignored the crux of my point.  By your logic, MS must have had a TONNE of leverage over TT, which means they probably got some AWESOME DLC.

In any case, I thought you were getting this game for the 360? 

 

 

Yeah, since it's all that I have.

I just love the principle of the fact that they could have paid to have another version turn out well.

While the crux of your argument is Rumor and Speculation, since R* doesn't want to release what the EEC is, while mine is truth and logic, since the PS3 has been stated the reason for delay, and the 50 million has been stated as truth.

What? Is this a joke?

It's certainly a passive-agressive burn to MS fanboys, imo, lol.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

 Blame Rockstar for bringing the game to the 360 then if you truly believe that. They didn't have to develop the game for 360, but they did.

I believe I remember reading that the $50 million was *originally* to buy an exclusive window and when it finally came out that the game wasn't anywhere near ready for prime-time, R* changed the deal with MS to developing exclusive content... I may be wrong, though. If that is the case, then R* played MS for a complete fool. $50 million was probably more than the entire budget of the game so basically R* used MS's money to develop a game for both leading platforms... I believe it goes something like: outplay, outwit, outlast... or something like that. Well Played, R*.

They must be hating themselves right now! IGN gave BOTH the 360 & PS3 versions a 10, so the 360 MUST be in the inferior version.

And when it comes down to exclusive DLC for the 360 version... poor, poor MS...

PS3 fans can laugh all they like.  360 fans will be busy playing that DLC in the meantime.  ^_^

Lol.  Thats a good point huh?  In the past, IGN have given different scores to different versions of games when they were better on the 360.

The difference here must be so minute if they still gave them the same (perfect) score.

Now there would be something to argue if the same game got a different review, but there isn't.

I don't like the attitude of this thread full stop.

Be thankful to Rockstar.
