Major League Baseball 2K10: MLB Developer Insights - Art Direction

Re: Major League Baseball 2K10: MLB Developer Insights - Art Direction

More than when this information comes out is whether or not it works. These blogs are all good, from all the developers, but at some point they need to bring home the goods.

We have seen several promises in these blogs, insights, etc. The problem is the track record of performance isn't too hot.

I agree and you know what else.. I think that if they were proud of the gameplay, they'd be leakin' some footage of it. We haven't seen any. All the videos we've seen so far are ya know, real players talkin' to each other and glimpses of the game's graphics, but not actual gameplay. It's more like replay footage, but it's touched up even beyond that.

We want raw gameplay footage. Hopefully we get it soon. I'm not impatient, but they're havin' trouble meeting deadlines on their insights, which isn't a good sign. It's sloppy.

I forgot that Chase was going to preview the game today, so we should get some info by the end of the week. I really want to see a video though of pure gameplay and not the trailer that are touched up.

This logic is flawed.

except for this one they didnt set a deadly. They said Approx. It gives them a few day of wiggle room.

This logic is flawed.

And it's frustrating. Give us a minute of pure gameplay. They should show their product.

That's what looks bad to me, that they've cancelled things at the last minute because of some [seemingly] obscure issue. As someone else said, they should be attempting to under-promise and over-deliver. I'm sure they're crunching to get the game complete, but it lowers people's opinion when they can't deliver on things like a regular blog. But, better to not release information in a blog that doesn't make it to the game and have everybody screaming that "they promised us [this] and didn't give it to us - liars!". Some games can get away with it just because of perception; this one wouldn't be able to at this point because of how it's perceived

Sure its frustrating, but doesn't mean they have something to hide.

Though I agree 2K always seems to fudge-up scheduled announcements, but maybe the Insight has been pushed back because they are showing the game today to OS & probably a couple of other media outlets.

I said if they were proud of the gameplay, they'd leak some footage of it and you said what you see above.

Why ? You probably knew I was gonna ask why, so you should've just explained yourself after commenting.

To assume a company is hiding something because there are no gameplay videos a month and a half before the game is released is not sound logic. 2k has always had a "different" marketing plan with all their games. This is just 2k being 2k. If Sony wasn't such a big part of CES we wouldn't have any gameplay videos for the Show yet either.

Yea, you got a point there with the CES.. I honestly just don't like how sloppy their announcements become. It's whatever though. I can't change it and it doesn't seem like they can either.

I agree 100% Its so frustrating. I was looking forward the new insight all day yesterday, only to be let down. Again.

I hope he can give us info before the end of the week. I understand the write up takes time, but I atleast want to hear his impression on the game so far atleast by tonight.

with mlb2k's past record. 2k should be eager to show their game.
