That is, if you're a title dev/publisher and it ends up as an inferior end product, then... hyping it up BEFOREHAND with misleading demos and articles and then calculating how many will be reeled in, and going from there may be the new wave of selling games.

I am really tired of this bs, last time I care about anything out of Gearbox, as for SEGA I just hope Relic will not be destroyed by them.
Instead of crying for them to comment and have cry fests about it on forums you could decide not to ever buy anything out of GearBox developer and maybe even SEGA, thats how you make a point. |

I felt bad for Sega until I read the bit about how they wanted it to be like Call of Duty fighting marines. Not anymore. Along with Fox and Gearbox, they can go fuck themselves too. True story. |

Based on the visuals of the E3 demo there's no way it was too demanding for the average PC, unless the engine itself was very poorly coded. I mean, games like Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 managed just fine with scalability and they actually looked decent. The reality is the entire development cycle was a clusterfuck and the PR was WAY over the top considering the quality of the game.
Also, the idea that older PCs would have struggled but consoles weren't an issue is simply ludicrous. |

Based on the article it looks to me that they had cut back graphics because of console ps3 limitations. I wonder if the game would have looked better if they didn't "lower common denominator" the game. Another lesson I learned a long time ago, don't pre-order shit unless there is a playable demo or better yet just wait until the release and youtube the footage/reviews. devs are getting bold with letting this type of bullshit fly out their doors lately. |

| I'm not sure "shit went terribly wrong" and a lot of finger pointing constitutes a "postmortem" but I'm guessing it's the best we're going to get at least until the fear of lawsuits goes away. |
