@KiLLaMaNiLLa69 You had seven months to think up an insult and that's the best you can do? Pathetic!

Well this is pretty sweet news, but will it be an 'Australian' accent, or will it be an 'Orstrahlyan' accent?

@kohle36 C'mon, Battlefront 3 and TIE Fighter 2 could easily and happily coexist. We all want them both.

Well... crap.

Putting DICE's own footprint on it is the last thing I want. They'd do better to study the hell out of all the leaked BF3 footage, and take note of how amazed everyone was by it. Failing that, just clone BF1 and 2, which just cloned BF1942 which is still far and away the best battlefield game. More like bf1, 2 and bf1942, less like any other battlefield.

No multiplayer whatsoever?

Good.

A lot of 'about times' here:

About time we had a Sandbox in Australia, about time we had an apocalyptic game all about the cars, and about time we had another game from Avalanche! Though I hope it feels a bit more Mad Max than this trailer did... Dunno if I could ever imagine Max doing something like that.

How do we know that public outcry had any impact whatsoever on Sony's actions here?

They had me sold as soon as they mentioned Rareware and the N64 in the same sentence

Unless it's going back... in time... because it's time... to split... as there's a new timesplitters on the horizon that has nothing to do with Crysis... then it's wasted news.

Of course only 5% play old games on new systems. New systems have such poor BC capabilities that for most people it's not really even worth it. The problem is the lack of proper BC support- the numbers wanting BC are most definitely there.
