Most people dismissed my admittedly flakey news as 'that's what always happens.' I've talked to more people since then though and this isn't the usual jostling for publishers on stage that happens at E3. Microsoft is throwing BIG money around to reverse course on idea that they aren't a games console. The rumors are that PS4 versions of multiplats, by those who do take the money, won't be shown AT ALL. Not on stage and not on the show floor. I don't feel bad for Sony because business is business. I'm sure they will find a way to have a decent show... or they will have to recover afterwards. That's not really my concern. Now, there's no need to take my word on this if you don't want to. But do keep an eye on E3 next week. With them buying up everything in sight and now potentially cutting an open roundtable out(to assumedly talk one on one with friendly press) and word that finding multiplat games on the ps4 on the show floor will be much harder than anticipated.... just keep an eye on it. Maybe my sources are wrong. But I feel confident enough in this info to share it. I'm not saying to jump to conclusions. I'm just saying it may be something to keep an eye on." |
what the hell does that mean?
that a game will be multiplay (xbone/ps4) but MS is going to pay them big money to deny the existence of the ps4 release at E3? what's the point? anyone that games will see though that illusion in less than a day. ..and then the negative press will follow MS on that scandal as well.
