We got the motion

Remember this post from over a month ago? The rumor won't die. MTV (feels so weird to say) had this to say. Ah, motion controls, how I love to hate thee.

and yes, the GTA IV bundle is real and yes, it's only for Europe. 

Sorry yanks, but you get the White 40GB soon (as in before the MGS4 bundle).

You should

You should HAVE:

- You wanted it, but you didn't buy it Xbox fans. VF5 sold more on PS3 than Xbox, this is why most people don't bother porting games late. MGS4/FFXIII aren't hitting 360, ever. The next VF5 "expansion" will hit both systems, obviously since they have the engine on both.

- Psi-Ops! Stranglehold wasn't a huge hit either, but it was ok, would've been better if you could telepathically throw barrels into people.

- The Outfit. I said it before and I'll say it again; you suck when you don't buy strategy perfection on consoles, yet you buy gimped ports of LOTR and C&C3. 

HAVE NOT:

- 50 Cent: Bulletproof 2 is so fucking goofy, I feel awful for the dev team. Why did you buy the first atrocity?

- Tony Hawk's Proving Ground... oh wait, haha Activision.

- Guitar Hero 3, if just for wanting $ for a plastic guitar to work with Rock Band. GH Aerosmith will hopefully bomb, so the other embarrassing band games don't come out, but they will. But seriously, don't even think of trying to get Zeppelin.

Surfergirl shoutout:

Her words:

5) In case you are wondering why Treyarch's Call of Duty 5 is an historical shooter, it started production following the completion of Call of Duty 3 (which Activision assured Infinity Ward would not be called Call of Duty 3 and would be a spin-off rather than an entry in the main series because they respected the work of Infinity Ward so much) when Call of Duty 4 was still a year from completion and not too many at Activision were confident that this modern warfare thing was going to be successful. Yes, unlike the nine month cycle for both Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Call of Duty 3, the development of Call of Duty 5 is about two years long, so expect this to be far better their previous attempts.

My words from over a month ago.

More cod in the boat:

Unlike CoD3, I will definitely see you online in CoD5. I'm calling it the Pandora Tomorrow Multiplayer Effect. Decent single player game, worth a playthrough (though not as good as CoD1,2,4,6, but closer to the latter) although the multiplayer offers a different, fun, addictive experience. I don't like Activision's business practices, but this game is a contender, not AAA, but I'm not sure if I'd denounce a $60 purchase just yet.

Don't bother going outside

I like new stuff

From Crackle: Firmware 2.20 demo

Mountain Dew is gross

It really is, how can anyone drink that nasty crap? I'm not even talking about that ass in a bottle Halo shit, the regular green crap, it's disgusting. Code Red's not bad, but I'm being nice.

- Gears of War 2 = 16 players online, 4 player online co-op, 4 player splitscreen is being attempted (as it is for 360 UT3, PS3 UT3 to get patch)

- Condemned 1 would have easily fit on Blu-ray, there were talks about a CE that included it, see; Stranglehold CE, hey Monolith, there's always PSN (just sayin')

- Don't be surprised to see a full sequel to Warhawk in Summer 2009/Spring 2010, Warhawk 1 is being milked like mad and was an experiment to see how retail on PSN faired (GT5P is trial #2)

- The Outfit was great and it's how you do strategy on consoles, but because you jerks would rather buy awful PC ports with gimped controls, The Outfit 2 was put on hold, of all the times to not listen to Major Nelson

- I saw Viva Piñata talking to XBLA, saying she needed more space or their relationship wasn't going to work out

Motorstorm 2 to have level editor?

Apparently, they're showing off Motorstorm 2 this Wednesday.

Look forward to a level editor, because Sony's all about user-creation. It's also going to have jungle tracks and *crosses fingers* ice tracks.

Splitscreen is there, but the whiners will just find something else to complain about.

Spiderhawk of Duty

Addendum to the previous post on CoD5:

Next Spider-Man and Tony Hawk games may use the CoD4 engine as well.

Activision is looking to compete in the game engine space, since shooting past EA has made them quite brash. EA owns Criterion who is responsible for the Renderware engine.
