I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I can understand review embargoes....... but whats up with closed invite only preview embargoes????

Makes no sense to me at all. They give a select few a vertical slice of the game to play, then tell them they can't talk about it till such and such day and time? Just reeks of PR shenanigans if you ask me.

Because the American press didnt play it at the same time as the EU press (who played it a couple days earlier).

The embargo is to allow ALL media outlets to release their stories at the same time, for fair share of public attention on each outlets work.

if the EU press got to post their impressions before the US press even had time to formulate any, then what point is the info from those US outlets, since the base info on the game is exactly the same, outside of opinions? That is not fair to that sect of journalists. This is fair: they have all played it. They have all been given time to formulate their thoughts. They all publish at the same time for everyone to read. 

And are getting new info and new media for the game. The embargo is not any different from Sony (or any publisher) deciding on a specific date to release new info. 

If you can understand a review embargo then it shouldnt be difficult to understand a preview embargo. 

Thanks for that explanation. Makes sense now I guess... or at least in situations like these.

I could get review embargoes because i felt that gives or rather ensures that everyone has sufficient time to play the game and not just rush throuh it to get a review out ASAP. Well, except when the publisher is being funny and trying to ensure reviews aren't seen until the day of the games release.

Watched a chunk of a 33 minute video on GAF. Looked like an Ubisoft game to be honest. Very Far Cry-ish.

edit, here is the video if anyones interested. No idea about spoilers.

I've seen this comparison before but never quite got it, maybe a mix between Monster Hunter and Assassins Creed, but Farcry?

Not saying that you're wrong. I'm just missing the connection.

Oh fuckin' dear. Naughty Dog, for the love of God have a word. I'm going to have to play this game muted, it's THAT bad.
