GT5 - The most expensive game ever made[ $60Million ]
It's no secret that Gran Turismo 5 is one of the most anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusives
ever. As it turns out, it's also one of the most expensive. Two years after a Dutch newspaper pegged the budget of Killzone 2 at $21 million, Autoweek has revealed that the expansive racing simulator will cost nearly three times that.
Speaking to the magazine, Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi said the budget for the game is around $60 million. That makes it among the most expensive games ever made--but not the most expensive, according to Yamauchi.
"There are other games that cost more," said the famously perfectionist designer "Considering the size and scale of the game, I think it's probably a fairly small amount."
Yamauchi wasn't shy about telling Autoweek what Gran Turismo 5's massive budget produced. The game will have nearly 1,000 cars sporting 400,000 polygons each--100 times more polygons than Gran Turismo 4's vehicles had. However, unlike its predecessor, the cars in the game will take actual damage when they crash and will be fully customizable.
As outlined in GameSpot coverage of Yamauchi's presentation at the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, the game will have 20 locations and 70 variations of tracks to choose from. It is also an official license of several prominent racing organizations, such as NASCAR and the World Rally Championship. The game is due out in March in Japan, with a Western release "probably" happening in early 2010, according to Yamauchi.

Private Investigators Capture Major Modern Warfare 2 Pirate
Modern Warfare 2 has been leaked onto the Internet, prompting Microsoft to announce that they will actively pursue any Xbox 360 piracy. In the meantime though, it appears that the original perpetrator has been arrested.
Venturebeat is reporting that Christian Del Amo, an 18-year-old from Miami, initially cracking the game's code on Monday, which was followed by a flood illegal copies on torrent sites.
"It all happened very fast," said Rob Holmes, owner of IPCybercrime, a private investigation firm.
"If these guys get their stuff out, then they can do some major damage to sales and spoil it for everybody. We plug leaks every day, but this was one of the biggest ones of the year."
The investigation began when a "box boy at a major retail chain" stole a crate containing Modern Warfare 2 bundles from a "major retail chain" and began selling them on Craigslist. IPCybercrime was able to put an end to the sales, but not before the listing attracted the notice of hackers.
Del Amo posted a request for donations to buy one of the bundles on an Xbox piracy forum, and was able to obtain a copy of Modern Warfare 2 on October 30 before cracking the protection that weekend. IPCybercrime was able to track Del Amo through social networking sites like Facebook to his modding business in Miami, where he was selling modded Xbox 360s along with pirated copies of Modern Warfare 2.
With the help of IPCybercrime, Miami-Dade Police Department were able to track Del Amo to his home and arrest him, but the damage has been done. A cursory search for Modern Warfare 2 on any torrent site will reveal multiple listings for the game. However, at least one of the culprits appears to have been caught.
"Hopefully it is a lesson," Holmes said.
"If you try to do piracy on a large scale, you will get caught. When you use the Internet, you always leave tracks somewhere."
Legal copies of Modern Warfare 2 will be out November 10.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Beta Coming Soon
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Beta Coming Soon
It's a great day for PS3 owners today, as DICE, the Swedish game studio behind the always entertaining Battlefield series, has announced that the first multiplayer beta for its upcoming Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming November 19, exclusively for the Sony console. The multiplayer beta will include a new map, Arica Harbour, and one new game mode, Rush, for up to 24 players to play. (The full game, due out in March 2010, will feature four multiplayer modes.) This map is said to feature a balance of vehicle and infantry combat, with the American forces attacking a Russian army base and moving through a desert town on its way towards trying to overtake the Arica Harbor.
PC and Xbox 360 fans? Yeah, we hear you. We're crying a little inside, too. But don't despair completely: Your turn shall come. DICE will be inviting PC gamers to participate in an open beta in December, while another multiplayer demo for all platforms is due to arrive early next year. Actually PC gamers shouldn't do much but rejoice, since the first game wasn't available for them at all, so a big huzzah there for bringing this newer wing of the Battlefield franchise back to the platform it all started on. (And good grief, has it really been seven years already since Battlefield 1942? That's just frightening.)
So, yay for PS3 owners, and DOH, for now, for everyone else. And what have we learned? That the only safe bet is to just own every platform, all the time. Be platform agnostic. Sony's happy, Microsoft is happy, you're happy. Everybody wins.
For the full report, read the official press release. And for more information about the game, visit the Official Website.

^ there won't be games like GT5. Chances are that there will be games that can easily cross GT5 in pc. But Racing games are best experienced at Consoles because of two reasons..
first.. Standard performance of the game for every player. Which is not all possible in PC.
Second...Analog controller, yes.. Racing games are best experienced with a racing wheel/analog controller..
lolwut, you don't like playing GT5 with DS3??? What is your problem?

^ you mean Max Payne 3???
Many days ago, on IGN Daily Fix, I heard that it is going to be on RAGE engine with the help of euphora animation engine pretty much like GTA IV. And the game will be set in São Paulo, Brazil, where Payne is working in the private security sector for a wealthy local family, set 12 years after the events of the second game

Stores in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio have broken the game's Nov. 10 street date.
*media.1up.com/media?id=3769374&type=lg
Reports have been floating around the net that certain stores in these Northeastern states have broken Modern Warfare 2's November 10 street date and are selling copies today. Strangely, Kotaku originally reported that an employee at a GameStop in Bowling Green, Ohio stated that they were given special permission from Activision to sell the game early after local mom and pop stores broke the street date first. But a statement from Activision later denied this claim, saying that they have "not given any retailer permission to sell Modern Warfare 2 prior to the Nov. 10 street date. The company fully supports the Nov.10 street date."

Even MP1 had that kinda narration. I love the game, especially the background scores were too good and the action is mind-blowing.
