I don't think GTA2 is set in Liberty City.

It's not even a discussion, everything in the trailer suggests it's Liberty City. Since Liberty City is based on New York, it can have several landmarks and location look the same, but at the same time have the freedom to make up their own structure.

I don't care so much for the amount of MMOs. What I do dislike is the amount of FPS/shooters that comes out. I'm sure that more than half of the games on the shelves are some kind of shooter like that. For gods sake, it's been more than a decade since Doom came out now, aren't people getting tired of playing the same concept?

If people want to chat, they'll buy a headset. If people don't want to chat, there's no reason to complain. And here's a little tip: http://www.gadgetmadness.com/archives/20061209-how_to_use_any_bluetooth_headset_with_your_playstation_3_ps3.php Seriously, people don't chat on the PS3 yet because, frankly, not that many people OWN a PS3 yet. It's yet to be released here in Europe, and it's not sold a gazillion units in neither the US nor Japan either. Personally, I don't like using headset to chat. I prefer to use a keyboard. I guess I should complain to Sony for not including a keyboard in the pack then? And I hate XBLive for not having the option of using a keyboard, not even the software keyboard, to chat in 99% of the games.

How about instead of blaming Molyneux for your own dissapointments, we stop having extreme expecations to ANY game that gets release EVER, and just let the poor guy be passionate about his games. Seriously, if you get disappointed, you set yourself up to it. Never in the entire history of videogaming has there been ONE game that suddenly moved gaming twenty years into the future - but some people still manage to expect this. Oh, and I don't think he wants the player to care about the character, we always had that. I think he wants us to feel loved, to have the "relationship" go both ways.

Unless you want to outdo your competitor. And I asked many many times already. Can you not watch movies on your PS3 now? And will the implementation of Home remove this feature, or will it just offer an alternative way of doing things? We haven't even seen 10% of how Home works, and it won't start until October, and will be a less than 500mb download. People are assuming incredibly stupid things, and for some reason ignoring the fact that Sony themselves most likely know what they're doing. EDIT: or, I can give you some actual written proof: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/771/771763p1.html

You still have to boot it up IF you want to use Home that way. But I think they're going to implement everything into the XMB. So it'll be like Live as well. I misread your post. Anyway, it's the same with the X360, isn't it? And voicechat is probably low in Resistance because first of all, the console hasn't been released in the EU yet, and second of all, they didn't have a clear strategy, so people weren't sure if buying a headset was necessary just yet. Ah, so you don't like choices? You can watch videoclips on the PS3 NOW, can't you? Why would implementing an additional way of watching these videoclips change anything? Just watch it the normal way, if you don't want to go into the 3D world. You're not using your imagination here, there are TONS of solutions to your issues, yet you seem to think that Sony won't know about this? And you also assume that the XMB will stay exactly like it is now, and that there won't be additional menu commands. The XMB will probably end up pretty much like the Xbox dashboard, in functionality. Just think of Home as an alternative way of using the dashboard. It's not a game, it's an online community where you control your character around instead of menus. And if you want to use menus instead, you can probably do that too. It basically offers the exact same as Microsoft, but to a larger scale. And it won't force you to use the 3D version, you can most likely do exactly the same from the XMB.

That was not my intention.

1. You don't have to use a disc, that's for sure. I think they already said it's accessible from the menu. 2. No it's not. You can use a built-in software keyboard (is that what it's called?), connect a USB keyboard, or using a wireless headset. 3. I'm pretty sure they're going to implement shortcuts accessible from a menu - and if not, at least have fast-travels like in Oblivion. And can't you already watch video-clips the normal way on a PS3? If so, why would that change? It's probably just an alternative to the more traditional method, plus added stuff.

At least, if it works out as well as it sounds, they may very well have outdone Xbox Live. And offer it for free. MS suddenly has no big advantages if it turns out like that.

Who knows? Anyway, the story can have different meanings. If only one of them is true, I guess it would be yours. It sounds more likely. It's been a while since I read it.

It is, kinda.

No, that's not a good analogy. The rapist doesn't have much choice, he is taken to jail by force. Sony wasn't. They had the rights to carry on fighting the decision, but they didn't. And I never said we should "forgive" them for their past actions. You know the tale of the prodigal son? It's an exaggeration to say the least to compare Sony with the prodigal son - but the point of the story is to give credits when its due. I believe in rewarding when they do something right and punishment when they do something wrong. I don't believe in punishment when they do something right just because they did wrong in the past. Now, it's kinda weird to use that kind of analogy, but hopefully you know what I mean. I'm not comparing Sony to anything here, I'm just trying to get my point through. Truth is, I'm not sure about the issue anymore, I originally saw Sony doing something right, but since so many people think otherwise, I may very well be wrong. As long as their perspective isn't clouded by anti-Sony sentiments.

They gave in to something they could've kept fighting for years to come, and opened up the opportunity of an official rumble featured PS3 pad. It may be three years too late, but it's better late than never. And how isn't following the law right?

I'm not saying they aren't arrogant pricks who takes some outrageous decisions. I'm just saying that they deserve credit when they're doing something right, like everyone else.
