Yeah. I read that tweet. But what about the other 2 guys who've said they think it's odd that they have to go to an event to review games instead of by their lonesome? |
It's not easy doing a global launch of a console. This is not easy for either Sony or MS...
Doing a 2 day review allows them to do Massive PR and get people all in one place. It also means they dont have to necessarily ship lots of dev kits worldwide to these people. It's funny how these journo's expect to get kit for free, but thats another argument. If they are working on a patch, perhaps they dont want to send out dev kits and update them all... perhaps PSN isnt ready yet...
So i personally dont find it strange, and I wouldnt blame MS for doing the same. This is a massive day for both companies, and will be their launchpad to the next few years, of course they want to control it. These Journos need to just go to the event, play the games and tell people their impressions.. if they are not able to look past the free food/goodies/drinks then they are not worth listening too.
If day 1 all new consoles blow up, we will know about it from users not these leeches called journalists.
Making an indie game : Dead of Day!
