Silent Hill - Image 1 


Rumors freshly churned out from the rumor mill - or rather, from a certain individual known as Quatermann, and they all concern some of the most beloved franchises ever to hit the video game scene. Take these as you will, but remember that they're only rumors - nothing's set in stone just yet.
  • PaRappa the Rapper 3 to be released on the PlayStation 3
  • Silent Hill 5 to be released on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, to be developed by US team
  • Electronic Arts isn't just satisfied with NFL, they also want MLB and NBA to be under their wing, too.
A next-gen sequel to everybody's favorite Hip-Hop Hero? Awesome. Silent Hill 5 to come out on both the PS3 and the Xbox 360, but made by a US-based team, the same as Silent Hill Origins? Bit undecided about this one, as I don't know how the PSP offering of Silent Hill actually plays like - but it'd certainly be interesting to see how it matches up to the original Team Silent's previous titles.

And EA planning to take over MLB and NBA - the firm can certainly handle another sports franchise, so more power to them if the rumor turns out to be true.

More updates about these rumors as we get them - and remember, they're only rumors until we actually get official word from those involved.

Just stop buying EA sports games. They'll either up the creativity or get the message.

All Pro Football 2K8 is coming out next month and as long as that series lasts I'll never buy another Madden again.



And it goes without saying EA can't touch MLB 2K series. 2KSports has gone too far. And EA hasn't made a baseball game in 3 years. Besides the director of the EA MVP Baseball series works at 2KSports now as does other team members.



EA should really try to tighten up Live and Madden before they start trying to takeover other franchises.

» The reason why Halo 3 is garbage [Fact Sheet]

I own all 4 platforms: high-end PC, X360, PS3, and Wii. I also have numerous older generation’s consoles, too. I only AND ONLY support best (triple-A) consoles and games. I am a huge supporter of X360 and PS3 consoles (Wii is garbage). I am a huge supporter of Gears of War, Oblivion (X360 version), Call of Duty 3 (X360), Forza, and MotorStorm (Halo 3 and Resistance are garbage). In conclusion, if it’s not the best than those consoles and games are garbage from my point of view.



- There’re more than 200 games which are better made, superior, more advanced, and more fun to play than Halo 3. That’s the reason why Halo 3 is trash.

- Upper games are better than lower games

- [X]: The existence of this game is publicly and widely known, but hasn’t officially confirmed



- World of StarCraft (GameSpot had an exclusive interview with Blizzard back in 2005; later Blizzard requested to remove all info related to WoS because of its early developmental stage; go to google.com; click image so you can do image searching; type world of starcraft; you can see 2 exclusive in-game pictures of WoS)

- Jak & Dexter (Naughty Dog is currently making this and Uncharted at the same time)

- Call of Duty 5 (Infinity Ward developed CoD4 since 1 year ago; CoD5 has been made by Treyarch since 6 months ago; 2 different companies are making CoD4 and CoD5 at the same time)

» hmm

sigh, I had high hopes for shadow run and halo 2 for windows vista PC



halo 2 PC got the average review score of 62 out of 100 from various publications



shadow f*ck got the average review score of 54 out of 100 from various publications



FASA studio made shadow cr*p. Bungie made halo 2 vista version. Rare made perfect dark zero crap a while ago. All 3 companies are subsidiaries of MGS (microsoft gaming studios under gaming division) All of the above 3 developers share all kinds of technologies which can be used to make DirectX 9 and 10 based games (not OpenGL 2.x based). That%u2019s why halo 3, halo 2 vista PC, shadow crap, and perfect dark crap all have very similar graphics qualities (artistic design, visual direction).

You the same dumb ignorant geek who keep LONG stupid fact sheets against the 360, and this is another example.



As other have said, you are a just a sad loser with nothing else in your life (what's the matter? mummy and daddy don't give you enough attention?).



I'm a PS3 fan (not fanboy), but to me, you are an example of the kind of person gaming could do without!



Idiot.

He doesn't even have the intelligence to post his long pointless posts in threads where it actually belongs, but instead posts the same text into a few threads choosen at random.



So the best thing to do is to ignore him (just pity the fool, he probably can't help it!).

Dude...seriousy get a life...I'm a girl and I don't complain half as much as you do...

» NOOOOOoooOOOOoooeS!

Silent Hill 5 handled by f***** US team? Why not just outsource it to India and hammer in the last nail in the coffin of that franchise?



What's happening to these Japanese developers I used to admire so much?
