so technically InFamous for 360 is not impossible

I was doing a little research and I found out that Sucker Pawnch is an independent studio, they work exclusively for sony since the Ps2 era because they wish so, if they wanted to make a 360 port (with additional content) and have Microsoft publish it (technically, not the same product and thus not violating Sony's rights to the original) there'd be no legal issues with it right?

I know its only speculation on my part but seeing games published by one of the big 3 go multiplat is something just gross and awkward, its understandable with third parties

I doesn't work that way. Devs can not port the same and just "add" additional content and "call it" a new game under a new publisher. No copyright law works that way.

I think Sony owns the IP, so I think they absolutely can not have a 360 version of inFamous They could, however, have the exact same game, and change the name and bring that to 360. I think...

Just because they're both sandbox games doesn't mean they're the same game.

Since Midway is finished, you might as well forget about it and go play The Force Unleashed. It's probaly the closest you are going to get to it.

Yeah, it'll never be on 360. This is one of those titles you'll need a PS3 to experience. Smexy game, btw.

Even though I love crackdown. Infamous looks better so far in my eyes cause it actually has characters with personalitys,a story,Cool villians and choice that invols karma.

I don't care what score Crackdown got, It's one of the most fun online coop games this gen. There is nothing on the PS3 that even comes close.

When did sony buy them?

They didn't, Sucker Punch is still independent, they just work exclusively with Sony, just like Insomniac. I think they might own Naughty Dog though, I'm not sure.

Either that or someone can buy the IP from them. IM pretty sure they are willing to part with it.

Either way, those "Big 3" (Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch)of Sony will not ever make an IP for another company. Sony will throw millions at them to keep their biggest games from them exclusive (ratchet & Clank, Resistance, Uncharted, Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, and INfamous)

Infamous was first shown at E3 2007. I think you are thinking of Eight Days, the game Sony cancelled some time ago.

That's probably not even really necessary, the relationship they all have with Sony is so mutually beneficial, they probably don't want to go anywhere else. They get to have nearly infinite resources for their games--or as infinite as it can get, and be boasted as top tier titles on Sony systems. However it wouldn't surprise me if Sony did have a stake in everyone of them.

I was doing a little research and I found out that Sucker Pawnch is an independent studio, they work exclusively for sony since the Ps2 era because they wish so, if they wanted to make a 360 port (with additional content) and have Microsoft publish it (technically, not the same product and thus not violating Sony's rights to the original) there'd be no legal issues with it right?

AgentA-Mi6

Yes, Sucker Punch could go and make Xbox 360 games, however, SONY owns the IP for this game, meaning, that Sucker Punch couldn't take this game with them to go and work for M$.

Another example of a second party is Level 5, they can go and work with whoever they want (They do have a fued with M$ presently, due to TFLO), but SONY owns the IP's for Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, and the upcoming White Knight Chronicles.

Heavenly Sword was made by an independent studio, but again, SONY owns Heavenly Sword, just not that studio. Same for Resistance, Ratchet, etc.

Does that make sense?

oops yea that's it. HAHA, that crap looked better than this game though. for some reason this game reminds me of shadowman/psi ops. Where's a new shadowman? damn it the game doesnt look high quality though.

I'm assuming you are refering to Ninja Gadien 2 going to the PS3 right? I think the difference is Sony usually owns the entire IP, where as MS does not. They just have the rights to that one particular game. That's why PS3's version is called Sigma and technically has other content to be a "different" game altogether (there by not breaking MS's publishing rights)

IGN is very impressed by this game. The game looks fantastic. If the lightningboltsare any more satisfying as the lightning gun in Killzone 2 then I'll be impressed.
