Killzone? There is no Killzone... did anyone see it at E3 this year? Yeah. :)
Warhawk video: Would "owned" be appropriate? Sony, Sony... :D Great video!
(but Warhawk-PS1 is an awesome game...)
Sony simply doesn't want to pay Immersion the $90 million plus settlement that they'll have to before Immersion will liscence them rumble tech (and Immersion has said that it'd be simple to put tilt tech in the PS3 controller if Sony would just pay them the settlement money and get the liscence), and they are evidently unable to come up with their own method of rumble like Nintendo has (Nintendo's rumble isn't liscenced from Immersion and they've never been sued over it, so obviously it IS possible to make rumble without infringing on Immersion's patents...), so...
Of course, the problem is, they almost certainly will eventually lose in court and will end up paying the money anyway. The only question is, how many more years can they drag it out...
I was in the game store today, looking at the shelves... stupid PS2, why are most of the games that look like they are worth buying on that thing? Annoying controller, poor design, not great looks... I'd rather have a GC (well I do, but...), Xbox, or Dreamcast, but the good games to games available on other systems ratios are SO much lower on the Xbox and DC that it doesn't seem worth it at all... but the PS2 has that same stupid controller and involves Sony. I'm trying to tell myself "just get nothing (more consoles wise) and try to save it for more Wii stuff..." but that's hard with the Wii still quite a ways off...
And how about that Neo-Geo Pocket Color sitting in the store, I want one of those too... :)
