[Rumor] Sony to drop exclusive bombshell announcement


Recommended Posts

Exclusives are so lame - I don't understand why big names even bother.

In the other thread, FFXIII for 360 has 40% of the vote now surely those sale numbers would far outweigh anything Sony or Microsoft could offer a developer. :angry: I'm certainly not going to buy the other console just because of one game, no matter how good it may be (I still haven't played MGS4, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Little Big Planet...)

I'm sorry but the God of War series and the Uncharted series alone are worth having a PS3.

I know they're bloody phenomenal games, which is all the more reason why it doesn't make sense for them to be exclusives since they'd bring it way more money if they were on multiple platforms. I already have a Wii collecting dust between titles so I don't need another console. =\

*mouth waters*

Its not even funny to jokingly get our hopes up!

birthday & veteran tag.

*bow* well done, sir.

The studios are outright owned by Sony, which is why they're exclusive. And the fact that they're exclusive is about 60% of the reason they are such phenomenal games (same goes for 360 exclusives as well) -- most (not all) multiplatform releases are held back by having to factor in each hardware's weakest link. And a smaller dev with a new IP, like Media Molecule, was helped by not having to expand their resources for a multiplatform release.

TimeSplitters :D

/dreams alone

Free Radical (now called Crytek UK) have already announced & confirmed TimeSplitters 4 last year. It's on hold for now until they think the market is ready for it. Or some BS like that...

Personally I don't rate them as a very good studio anyway. I mean Haze...c'mon :no: TimeSplitters wasn't much better either. Probably going to get lynched for that last comment, but it's success was only brought around cause it was the only FPS to make do with :p

Half Life 2: Episode 3

Portal 2

PS3 exclusives.

That would be a bombshell and would raise alot of PS3 console sales.

mmm impossible not to see them on PC, and Valve never hide their PS3 hate, so no (N)

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
