That said Makin' as for the rest of us, I hope our "megaton" is Zelda. It is the only game that is an exception to the "expected" rule. Any main console Zelda games announcement is always a megaton. Even if people hate it, it is still probably the biggest news of the show, and the entire industry pauses to examine, and comment upon it.

 

I'm afraid it won't happen.  Not until after Spirit Tracks is released.  =(

To be honest, I was somewhat disappointed when Spirit Tracks was announced because of exactly that.  I'm not much of a handheld gamer, and the thought that we'd have two handheld Zeldas released before getting even a teaser for the next console Zelda was a letdown.  =/

But if it's announced at this E3, it'll be E304 all over again.  And I'll be extremely jealous, because a good bit of the site staff will be there to see it happen, and I will not be one of them.  >=(

One of the megatons is a new Metal Gear game (probably a spin-off) directed by Hideo Kojima exclusive to the 360. There is a lot of evidence that points to this.

As for the other megaton I really only see two possibilites: Kingdom Hearts 3 exclusive for the 360, or Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 (to be released at the same date as the 360 version).

Sony doesn't have the money to buy any big third party exlusives, but they *may* have been able to convince EA to port Mass Effect 2 and keep it secret untill E3. Bioware have in the past clearly stated on their forums that they fully control the Mass Effect IP, and that nothing prevents them from porting ME2 to the PS3.

AFAIK Microsoft owns the Gears of War IP. The game started out as a 360 tech demo that was bought by Microsoft, then later expanded into a full game.

Versus on the 360 is not a megaton. The game runs on the same graphics engine as FF13, which makes a 360 port easy and inexpensive. So why keep it exclusive to the PS3 ? Contrary to what some people here like to believe, big companies like SquareEnix isn't run by fanboys.

I  believe most people here think Square Enix is a bunch PS3-hating dirty whores. Or at least that what I get out of most of them.

I see your point, but I disagree about 2 things.

A. People who really care about MGS4 haven't necessarily bought PS3s. People can really care about something, and not have to spend at least 460 dollars plus tax in order to enjoy it. There will ALWAYS be those who haven't upgraded to this gen. Truth of the matter is, all people who cared about Metal Gear haven't necessarily upgraded to HD consoles yet. MGS4's home will probably be a factor in their decision, just as it was in mine, and probably yours when you upgraded.

B. I've expected it from the beginning, however, it is not highly expected. In fact, the reason I think it is a big announcement, TO ME, is because most PS3 fans that I know, still, to this day, absolutely deny that it is even possible. You and I expect it. People on this forum don't. They have set themselves up for this annoucment to hurt, for years, and when it does, every quote they have ever made about how ONLY the PS3 can do MGS4, and how MGS4 will NEVER come to the 360, will be thrown in their faces, and they will eat crow. More crow than has ever been eaten before.

Can you name me one time when more crow would have been eaten, than the day after MGS4 with new content is announced for the Xbox 360?

Megaton? No, it's expected now, via rumor. Big from a console war perspective, and great news for 360 owners? Oh hell yes.

 

Note that only people who said things that proved incorrect will be wrong.  There is no general, blanket fanboy pwnership of one console's enthusiasts just because some of them said things that later turned out to be wrong.  Since you're saying this will be the "most crow" eaten, you seem to think the MGS4 comments were ultra-widespread.  But I'd say, for instance, that comments from 360 fans that Killzone 2 couldn't live up to the trailer and wouldn't look as good as Gears were MUCH more widespread.

Care to balance crow?

On Tuesday, Nintendo of America showed to a selected press an announced games. And this post came from the following day. So yeah, one game is definitely Nintendo related.

I think the balance got broken on account of the weight the FFXIII announcement carried.

Why Gears of War 3 should be on the PS3

Posted by BadassGamer | Saturday, April 25, 2009 | 37 comments »


Most of you would have read the title and screamed "Blasphemy!!" but if you read on you will see there are many a valid reason for Epic games to release Gears of War 3 on the PS3.

Firstly, by releasing the game on a second platform you are guaranteed an increase in sales, it's simple logic, the more people you offer your game experience to, the more people will be able to buy into that game experience, being exclusive to the Xbox 360, has certainly worked for EPIC games, they make a great cash return on every title released due to huge sales, but there's no denying that if the game was available on the PS3 it would make even more money for EPIC games, remember this is business.
Secondly, the PS3 has a lot to offer EPIC games in terms of technical power, so they can really achieve their intentions, goals and dreams with the series. Looking at the visuals of Gears of War 2, and comparing them to Gears of War 1, you can be forgiven for thinking they are the same game, the difference really isn't much, although fanboys would love to spin it in a way that suggests it is. If however they utilise the PS3's capabilities we can really see a Gears of War that rivals games like Killzone 2, and Uncharted 2 in sheer technical brilliance and physics.
Thirdly, with the Blu-Ray disc, there is no doubt EPIC games would have less constraints on what they can offer the player, larger levels, better sound, more content in every area of the game, it would be a real shame for Gears of War 3 to launch on the Xbox 360's DVD9 disc, and due to size constraints become a shadow of the game EPIC would have wanted it to be. Think about it.

In conclusion, I think EPIC games would be doing a major service to themselves and games alike if they choose to develop GeOW3 for the PS3, and a major disservice to gamers if they don't, no one wants a gimped game that is a shadow of the game it could have been. Gears of War 2 is a strong sign that the series is faltering due to constraints and poor execution.

 

if you havnt noticed on the picture is shows that MICROSOFT help develop it. they would not make the game for ps3 also because it would put there sales for there xbox down. Some people might buy an xbox for the gears of war advantage. No one is dumb enough to make a game for the company they are against for this type of product. so you can wish and hope but this will NEVER happen... just go out and buy an xbox! Gears of war will only one more game and will99.9999999999999999 to the power of infinity% not going to also be for PS3...

FF14 & The Agent

or MGs Rising & so on
