Isn't that what Sony does best, hype stuff too early. I know they don't do it with everything but the big guns are hyped years before release.

Did it all start with the emotion engine?

Haha. Still love that one.

Problem is that some people still haven't learnt.

Kotaku, and Brian Crecente in particular, outed Home a week before GDC 07, even after Sony contacted them and explicitly asked them not to. Sony was pissed and blackballed Kotaku from then. It took a while for them to kiss and make up (and explains the animosity Kotaku has for the black box)

The point is, Sony had little choice but to spill all the beans after this.

Sooo... when a rumored price cut is reported, Sony comes out and says "there is no plans for a price cut"..

But they couldn't do that for this project?

I mean a simple reply to the article could have been (Sony) "we were looking into diffrent game types, but there are no plans at this time." unless they were going to release the info anyway at E3.

Also Home's game director Peter Edward said that Sony “probably announced it too early.”

No shit, Sony.

Youre learning slow but steady... now fix your fucking marketing and advertising department with airing Killzone 2 adds every fucking minute and you'll be on the right way.
