Fils-Aime: “Look, we know that the fans want a straight Samus Aran game. We also know that the best way to launch a game like that is to surprise and delight them, to give them a launch date, in an environment like this let them play it vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see for five, six years. It’s just not the way we do things. We know the community wants to see a straight-up Metroid game. We know it.”
His quote is a judgment statement on what other companies do, since they are saying that their way is best.
It's also such an exageration, other companies implies far more than the select few that have titles that were anounced a long tim ago, and 5, 6 years has pretty much been just a few square-enix titles that they tease people with way too soon with not even plans of the games being out that soon. TLG was supposed to be out 2 years later. Had he just said 3,4 years he would have been right about a few more devs but even then most games are faster from anouncement to release than that. had he said 2,3 years more acurate still, but even then while it would need to be checked I still think most games come out faster. Though several big titles from this years e3 will probably fall in here.
