TVGB: "Releasing something fresh and new is always risky, but especially so during the lead up to the holiday season which is when established brands tend to take up a lot of consumer attention. Add to that an economy that's not in the best shape and anything new and unproven has a few reasons to worry. Gearbox's CEO Randy Pitchford takes that a step further and admits he is "totally terrified" over the upcoming late-October release of their cel-shaded beauty Borderlands."
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
TheGamer Writes "I don't think my most controversial video game take should be that controversial, but it is. I'm a video game journalist, so you know I have some bad takes in this broken down serotonin factory I call a brain, but here's one opinion that receives universal pushback: I don't like video game music."
of Modern Warfare 2 I assume... but this is a good move.
devs should stop chickening out and have some more faith in their games.
Take Sony's first party for instance, almost no delays whatsoever even though there might be low sales, but you gotta admire the faith they have in making a quality product which doesnt need delaying.
Uncharted 2, Ratchet, Eyepet, Mag.
All 2009.
I understand that they may be scared to go up against the major players during the holiday season, but if it's good enough there shouldn't be that much of a worry. Sure MW2 is going to sell, but there are actually people who will be looking for something else. *gasp!*
At least you gotta appreciate his honesty.
But if your game is good, you'll be alright.
The only reason they should be terrified is if their game sucks. If it's a great game and scores 90 or above on metacritic, I will surely try and get it before Modern Warfare 2 or any of those superhyped games. But if the game sucks, then yeah, be worried friendo.
Since i havent played the game i cant really judge it but this holiday im already gonna be buying at least 4 or 5 shooters (some a little older Kz2, R2)so i doubt id go but the game, ill prolly give it a rent to see what its all about but i know i wont be able to afford it with the rest of the games im buying. I can see how he would be terrified though Mw2 is prolly gonna be what most people that can only afford to spend money on a game every few months are going to buy. Then you have Halo:ODST coming out proly around a month before so their goes 75% of your X360 people that will be too occupied with that game to play anything else. I will admit though i like the fact that this holiday has many good games coming out for both consoles(no i dont consider the Wii a console) now if only i could afford them all.
