Sony Announces New Exclusive Rockstar Title 97
The official PlayStation blog has the word that Rockstar is gifting Sony with a brand-new franchise. Gift is probably the wrong word; I'm sure it cost a pretty penny to obtain those exclusivity rights. Just the same, as Gamespot notes, this is a good sign for a company that's lost a number of fish to Microsoft over the last year: "Recently, more and more titles which were previously thought to be exclusive to one console or another have been announced as multiplatform, including Assassin's Creed, Fatal Inertia, and Devil May Cry 4. Some media speculation stated that former Sony chief Ken Kutaragi's 'slowness' in tying up the red tape of the deals had led to Sony losing exclusives for the PS3." No word on what the game is, other than it is not L.A. Noire.

It only has a working title that I barely made out.
It was "Bloody something Murdering Rapist something something Detonate something Slaughter Kill Kill Kill something If I Could Walk That Way something Linoleum something."
Most of the discussion of the game play seemed to involve the phrase "crushing the heads of small handicapped children".
I was very very afraid.

Are you honestly trying to use Digg as a source? (Seeing as how that was the first link that popped up, and seemingly the only relevent one on the first page of links.)
Why don't you give us an actual source, rather than asking others to do footwork to bolster your (apparently made-up) point?

GP was wrong about the XBox drive - it's DVD, as you mention. However, you're wrong to compare the speed of the drives. A 12X DVD drive, like in the XBox 360, reads 16MB/s. A 2X BluRay drive, like in the PS3, reads data at 72MB/s. So, all things otherwise equal*, the PS3 should load much faster than the XBox 3

*all things are not otherwise equal
From what I've read, the ps3's BD drive is slower on seak time due to the data density while it's read time is faster. So on average a Ps3 game loads a bit slower

Rockstar was never a "PC focused developer". DMA Design created the first-ever GTA game for the PC first, but that was before Rockstar had anything to do with them. As soon as Rockstar took over, consoles came first.

I want to see the results of this. I'm tired of waiting for all these promises. I'm tired of being disappointed. I want it to be delivered not stated and put off till god knows when.
Sony stated it the best a while ago. Your investing in potential. As much as I hate them, they admitted to it. For the first time a console company in the industry admitted that your buying potential in a console.
All its been is this. Microsoft and Sony are bickering over who has more or better exclusive titles. And Nintendo keeps promising us online game play and their real flagship titles this fall.
I own a 360, I only play Guitar Hero 2, its the only game that screams "come back and play me". I also own a Wii, a complete disappointment, once I finished Zelda there was nothing left. Nintendo leaving out online multiplayer right off the back showed me that they are still behind. There was no excuse for that not to be there at launch. As for the PS3, I cant justify the steep price right now, blu-ray or not I want a gaming console not a blu-ray player.
I will say this though. For the first time in a while I was floored by a single game this generation. This has only happened a few times, Doom, Mario 64, Half-Life, Starcraft, and now Gears of War. As for Guitar Hero 2, the only game that has made me go back and play it again like this is Starcraft.

Although actually, now that I think about it, I hope that those wouldn't be Sony exclusives, as both of those games would be awesome with a Wii control scheme. A Wii Remote would be great for controlling the Lemmings cursor, or twisting around to perform Uniracer stunts.
