Out of interest, what events and announcements are you talking about?

I remember him hyping up a non-port big title which turned out to be Football Manager.

I remember him hyping up Gamescom because that was where he got to go crazy with indie announcements.

And I remember him at various stages saying that #JRPGVita was coming along but it was tough work.

I don't remember him announcing any specific dates (other than Gamescom) which you seem to be making out he did.  So do you have any proof of that? 

"Oh and there is an AMAZING big title coming to Vita. I can’t tell you anything about it, except that you are gonna be hooked for hours."

"I’m sure you will enjoy the show, nobody has forgotten about Vita, trust me

And I’m hoping to get some more stuff signed before E3. Something for everyone"

Another tweet said that “its not indie, it’s not a port.”

Yet E3 came and there wasn't anything we haven't heard of already.  The man is full of bullshit 99% of the time.

Tell me, does "hoping to" mean "definitely" to you?

None of those quotes specifically says it would be e3, and there was plenty shown at e3 which justifies the direct comment about the show.

That was Football Manager. Shahid redeemed.



If he is responsible for the Vita's stellar 2014 line up then I am a big fan of the man.

"Hoping to get some more stuff."  In order to get "more stuff," you already have to have stuff to begin with.

Perhaps you need think a little harder, he says hoping to get more stuff SIGNED, just because a developer or publisher signs does not mean they're ready to lay their cards on the table a few weeks later at e3.

 

Just because you can't comprehend what is being said or misintepret it, or take it upon yourself to come up with your own idea of what titles he could be talking about, doesn't make him a liar when they don't turn out to be what you thought, or if things he signed don't magically go from signing to ready to show the world within weeks.

So a game that was only released in Europe hyped up for a big convention that takes place in the US?  A game 99% of the gaming community couldn't give two shits about so he's redeemed?  Was Football Manager even shown at E3?

What region does shahid work again? Let me see.. hmm

He's been signing games since the console launched.  I'm pretty sure that counts as "stuff".

Looking at the tweets you linked me, I fail to see any problem.  The game he was hyping up was Football Manager.  Sucks, but he wasn't lying that it was a game he had signed.

Similarly, if you're suggesting he was saying there would be E3 reveals, "getting stuff signed before the conference" =/= "revealing stuff at the conference".  Especially since he's based in Europe, you'd expect him to reveal at Gamescom.  Which he did.

He was lying when it came to being a really big title and the way he presented it didn't make it seem exclusive to one region.  He's even defended himself against people for hyping the Vita so much because of all the complaints he's been getting.  Technically he's telling the truth, but he does it in a way that could easily be read differently and it's clear that he knows this and does this purposefully.  He words it in such a way that gives people false hope. He should honestly stfu unless he has some information that he's going to give out in a timely manner.  He does nothing but piss people off which is why there are a lot of people who complain about him.  He should do what most people do.  If you're going to reveal your information then do it, don't be a douchebag and tease the fanbase that you have information about a game you're not allowed to talk about, and don't make it seem like a game that is coming to the Vita for all regions when it's only coming to one.  He should have made it clear that it was a Europe exclusive.  He works for Sony Europe, but the games are released in English so most people will assume it's it's going to be released in the US as well.

If he made the same remarks and he was on the Xbox side, I guarantee many Sony fans would be complaining about him.  I'm a Sony fan, but I'm not sticking up for some guy who twists his words to hype up and disappoint the fanbase on several occassions.

Twitter is global, and Shahid didn't say anything about the game being at E3. You just made an assumption.
