As I read the preview, I thought to myself, were are all the videos to back what he is saying, because to date what he wrote ain't been seen. Ill concede the benefit of the doubt because the guy has played the game, but this is all very similar to last year. Great pre-release write ups then the actual game comes up way short.
Save this preview and document it. Come July we will find out if this was gospel or snake oil.
I have said it a lot. If your game is really good and you believe in it. You wont have nothing to hide. In fact you cant wait to show it off. If you want your pre-orders to go way up and what you have made is like crack, you are gonna show it off. If its garbage, then yeah, you gonna hide it, and sell hype to try and get them pre-orders up.
This aint no "we gotta hide our tech from the competition" thing going on here. There aint no college football competition. This is the only game in town. No real reason to hide anything at this point. Which is why I cant understand the "it was a mistake game play release video stuff" OK, it was a mistake......where is the video you meant to release ?!? That HAS to be in existence NOW, else how was what they showed labeled the "mistake" show me the money....where is that video they wanted to show ?
I have been holding my tongue on most of this "release info" because I want to wait and see what the final product will be before passing judgement. However I just found it odd, they release a crap gameplay vid, then say oh nah that was some old build, but then don't release what they planned to release. Then on top of that, see your madden brothers release a video and the game play looks a lot like what we have in our hands already.
No judgment yet from me....just things that make me go hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
