[Rumor] Sony to drop exclusive bombshell announcement


Recommended Posts

....or it's just an attempt for a crap site to get hits. I report, you decide.

We have received a tip from a source close to the gaming community that Sony plans on announcing something(s) at E3 that will be on the scale of "when Sony announced GTA: San Andres' timed exclusivity". However, our source was also keen to note that because they used GTA as an example, it did NOT mean this was going to be a game from Rockstar. They also did not specify whether this was a timed exclusivity agreement, a "stolen" former exclusive to another console, or just an exclusive high profile third party title (and no, it isn't Agent). The last time we heard a rumor on exclusivity, or in this case, lack thereof, they hit the nail dead on the head over a year in advance of the actual announcement (Click the here to read that rumor).

Here is the actual quote:

"For this year E3 I've got just one hint. Do you remember the E3 where Sony anounced they have GTA: San Andreas as a time-exclusive deal? Expect huge bombs at this E3. I used GTA as an EXAMPLE - it does not mean Sony will anounce anything from R* !! I just meant what they announce will be as huge as the gta deal - you get it right ?"

Update: "There will be a few

announcements, not one. I cannot tell you anything more."

While we have no idea of what the actual games are, all we can speculate is possibly Final Fantasy 14 (It was announced as a PS3 exclusive last E3, but Square did say they were considering other consoles.), or possibly Grand Theft Auto 5. Maybe even Metal Gear Solid Rising. What do you think it could be?

Oh the suspense.

I'm curious even though I am not a hard core gamer I have a PS3 and Wii. PS3 was a Christmas gift and it's got me into playing some again. I haven't touched the Wii in quite some time ;)

please GT5

methinks GT5 has already been announced as exclusive, no?

See, bombshell announcement would be "We just signed the guys who involuntarily left Infinity Ward to their own studio and a 4-game deal".

Gears of War 3 ..... headed for the PS3

Unlikely, but only plausible if you take into account the recent Epic comments of "We can do what we want with Gears IP" and "We're taking on Naughty Dog (in visuals)". But I doubt it.

All of you are wrong.

Sony is moving with ATi on the Playstation 4

only two out of the three console makers can afford to consider making a brand new console and releasing it in the near future yet. And Sony isn't one of them. and since Sony can't afford to do it, the other are holding of as well, makign as much money as they can this generation. While secretly doing some back room developement on next gen so they can be ahead of Sony by the time they finally have to bite the bullet and make a new console.

Unlikely, but only plausible if you take into account the recent Epic comments of "We can do what we want with Gears IP" and "We're taking on Naughty Dog (in visuals)". But I doubt it.

At no point was I being serious.

Wait wasn't there a super fun, exciting, mega announcement with a similar level of hype that turned out to be the super awesome game that everyone wanted? You know socom 4 oh wait...

Speak for yourself! I, and many, many others are looking forward to SOCOM 4.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
