| Dodece said: Microsoft makes it a point to showcase new titles less then a year before they arrive to market. Sony makes it a point to tease enthusiasts with games that are two or three years away from delivery as a rule. Honestly they deserve to get mocked for that. No matter how you look at it. Their behavior is just shitty. They even dodge questions about launch window as if they did not know. What have we here an exception, or perhaps it has more to do with the engine then the game. Many game developers license their engines to other developers, and that is often long before their own game launches. Has anyone else found it strange that the game in question is always seen in tech demos. Showing lighting effects, or tornadoes. Doesn't seem to be aimed at gaming enthusiasts as much as it is aimed at other developers. I see this as a positive honestly if anything it shows that Microsoft even being the publisher was willing to set aside their standard practice so as to enable a partner to market their other products. Regardless one exception means the PS3 gets a pass on well earned rap. Well that is childish bullshit. You guys really need to be ashamed of yourself. You know how the PS3 gets rid of this rap. They need to go a solid year without half a dozen delays in general, and most important of all. No delays of highly valued titles. In fact they need to actually commit to some dates now. Otherwise the impression is that all those titles are delayed. |
Let's take a look at the validity of your claim that Microsoft 'makes it a point' to only announce games less than a year before they arrive to market.
