I heard Ankh is coming to the DS. Don't have any source to verify it, though, so....whatever.

Dang. I wasn't at all interested in this game until I happened to pick up a copy of Edge today, and read an article on how the Wii controls would work with Manhunt 2. It actually sounded like it would be quite fun to play.

Previously Unseen Gears of War Gameplay Footage posted on YouTube

This YouTube video has already become the object of intense speculation, as it contains footage of, among other things, the famous battle between Marcus Fenix, the franchise's main protagonist, and the brumak, the largest of the Locust and a visual icon of the game. It has, however, been concluded among the majority of speculators as footage from the rumored PC port of Gears of War, while the minority generally belives it to be leaked footage from Gears of War 2.

Lucien21 · 07-07-2007, 10:53 AM

Can't be a straight port as you never fought a brumak in the 36 verson.

Starflux · 07-08-2007, 09:48 AM

Then again, a keen person spotted the 'A' button from the Xbox controller flashing in the movie, which would be illogical if it were the PC version.

Sony cuts price on PS3 - New York Times 9 July 2007

Quote:

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Sony Corp. <6758.T> cut the price of the PlayStation 3 by $100, or 17 percent, in the United States on Monday, a move that should boost the video game console's lackluster sales.

The PlayStation 3, which includes a 60-gigabyte hard drive and a Blu-ray high-definition DVD player, will now cost $500, or $20 more than the most expensive version of Microsoft Corp.'s <MSFT.O> Xbox 360.

The PS3 still costs twice that of Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s <7974.OS> Wii console, whose $250 price and motion-sensing controller have made it a best-seller despite its lack of cutting-edge graphics and hard disk.

"Our initial expectation is that sales should double at a minimum," Jack Tretton, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America, said in an interview.

"We've gotten our production issues behind us on the PlayStation 3, reaching a position to pass on the savings to consumers, and our attitude is the sooner the better."

The price drop was widely anticipated by industry analysts despite Sony President Ryoji Chubachi telling Reuters last week that the company had no immediate plans for one.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter said Sony's price reduction would not double sales but may boost them by 50 percent to about 120,000 units a month.

"The greater significance is that Sony is signaling to the market that we're coming down the cost curve pretty fast in making this thing. It's a pretty consumer-friendly move," Pachter said.

Sony's move comes two days before the start of the video game industry's annual E3 trade show in Santa Monica, California, where some expect Microsoft to respond with its first price cuts on the Xbox 360.

Nintendo, whose Wii is selling so well that it is still hard to find in stores eight months after its launch, is not expected to budge on pricing.

The Xbox 360 and Wii have outsold the PS3 by several times in the crucial U.S. market, leaving Sony, whose Playstation 2 dominated the last console generation, in the unfamiliar position of playing catch up.

Sony is counting on the price cut to help it significantly grow sales of the PS3 ahead of the crucial holiday shopping season that accounts for most of the annual sales of highly profitable gaming software.

Sony is also introducing a new version of the PS3 featuring an 80-gigabyte hard drive and a copy of "Motorstorm," an off-road racing game that has already sold a million copies.

The new model will sell for $600 and is aimed at gamers who expect to download a lot of games and other content from Sony's burgeoning online network.

Sony also hopes the PS3 will win some converts following Microsoft's admission last week that the failure rate of its Xbox 360 console had been unacceptably high, forcing it to book $1 billion in repair costs.

"We're especially proud of the fact that the PlayStation 3 has the lowest failure rate of any PlayStation product. It's absolutely the gold standard," Tretton said.

"The quality of the product and long-term viability is what ultimately wins."

It's a good thing if you waited for the price cut.

Not at all, support for the PC version of the Xbox 360 controller is mandatory for games bearing the Games for Windows logo (I think, not sure about RTS games and such).

RLacey · 07-09-2007, 07:17 AM

I think it's only mandatory for games that have gamepad support (I assume that games like Zoo Tycoon are exempt), but yes, I believe it's on the list of things (along with 16:9 and 16:10 widescreen support).
