I'm not just talking about the PS3 here either, I started seeing this 4 or 5 years ago on PC games after developers were starting beta tests and had hundreds of thousands of people sign up. It seems that many of these (so called) betas now a days start far too close to when the game is released and don't have much of an impact on the end product. |
Yeah really. I'm not sure how much the Halo 3 beta is contributing to the game, either. The first I heard of this Halo 3 beta I thought hype, especially when it was packaged with another game purchase (Crackdown). Oh well, hopefully I can get involved in one of these betas...
