Sounds like these guys just broke a press blackout to try and tout a game, which could mean some baaaaaad stuff is going to happen. Major lawsuits, and possibly the end of the magazine. Obviously Microsoft wouldn't be giving some random British magazine a big exclusive like this. It looks like this is the game that was developed then not published because of licensing disputes, and from their wording nothing has changed, except this magazine's future. These people are going to be in trouble. Good to know it exists though I guess... I'm sure we'll find out more Wednessday, at the funeral of Xbox World 360 magazine. |
I'm not sure I understand how breaking a press blackout could lead to major lawsuits and possibly the end of this magazine, but maybe I didn't pay attention that day in law school (very possible). Can you explain?
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
