actually a gif fight like this is very easy to win. just get a few good clips from ryse decapitations and amputations, and change some heads making funny expressions and a punchline
wanna go crazy? use mayhem clips from dr3, squashing of pilots in titan's hands, etc

no i don't think you follow

i find the idea of a 'gif fight' uncompromisingly lame
 
Yup, gifs celebrating games, and not antagonism between personalities is what I want to see. That hype engine, for instance, is fantastic.

I like that too actually i noticed that is one major difference hope it continues that way in regards to the gifs but the sony thread always has the superior well crafter gifs lol

Microsoft can secure the exclusivity by cofunding the development and marketing for the sequel(s) like they did with GoW (with EA getting primary investor status, meaning they get paid first before anyone else) . Now before people get up in arms with "No way will EA leave all dat PS4 money!" EA is in a win/win with this deal: if the game tanks/doesn’t hit the projected numbers, Microsoft takes the hit since EA will get paid off first and won't have to front all the capital for game, the game does well EA reaps the profits. That kind of deal off loads most of the risk to Microsoft and allows EA to use its development dollars on IP that the company itself owns.

One thing that a lot of people don't understand is that companies do not like risk, which is why you see sequels and reboots. If a company can do anything to reduce its exposure to risk and still maintain a healthy profit it will do it.

Surely they could only do this if Respawn wants to go exclusive though? EA or MS couldn't force them too since they are independent, no?
Haven't they said a few times that they'd rather be multiplatform?

Otherwise it sounds like something that could happen, so long as MS see it as a worthwhile investment.

I don't know the how the contract between EA and Respawn is written but if you take Respawn's reaction to the Xbox One exclusive announcement, which I think was fake, into account then it looks EA decides the platform to publish on.

I would like to add that I am not saying that Titanfall is going exclusive, but giving a reason how it would make financial sense if they went down that road.
 
So, just to make sure no one makes a silly one like the Fallout 3 or Dragon Age 2 one, I've put myself up for the E3 conference OT. I didn't tink anyone else had volunteered. Any suggestions?
 
I have to ay, as a Silver Xbox Live member I'm surprised at all the free content. Every weeks there's a movie free, varied too. Last week they had season one of Fairy Tail and this week 6 episodes of Archer.

Just checked the last few pages and you guys are awesome.

FordGT is making a great work making things fun in here as he did last year (I want to be in one of those hype trains!) and Caboose is the new challenger with the amazing Game On and A New Hope pics. Keep up the good work everyone. :)
 
Well, it was last year so they might do it again.

Awww yiss!!

How are you guys going to watch it? I'm assuming is 12:30 eastern time. So I'll take a free day to do some "errands" and be done so with those early in the morning. Oder a Pizza and watch it on my computer with Gamefaqs on the side (GAF will be likely dead) or maybe that chat room fordtv talk about.
