IO on Gerstmann-gate

There's a Kane & Lynch 2 Interview on IncGamers in your choice of video or text, going in-depth with Carsten Lund and Hakan Abrak of IO Interactive about Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, the upcoming action sequel. On a related note, VideoGamer.com also spoke with Lund and Abrak and asked about the 2007 scandal dubbed Gerstmann-gate, surrounding GameSpot's Kane & Lynch review. Of the scandal, Lund says: "The Gerstmann-gate thing we know nothing about, actually. We know as little as you guys might know. We were watching from the sidelines as developers, and it was sad. It was not really nice, but we couldn't do anything about that. So there's actually nothing for us to say." Abrak, however, does not shy away from the game's shortcomings, which were to some decree at the root of the controversy: "The whole controversy with Gerstmann kind of got out of hand," he says. "You maybe even could say some of the criticism was given by people that haven't played the game but jumped on the carousel with the whole thing. You can't do anything about that, so we just tried to listen to constructive critique. Let's face it, we had some problems with the mechanics, right? I mean, that's the honest truth. We spent a lot of time trying to fix it this time around."
