If NBA Live 13 Doesn't Hit an Oct. 2 Release Date, It's as Good as Failing to Launch
Strong words from Kotaku's Owen Good, in his latest
NBA Live 13
article
. This isn't Duke Nukem Forever or Half-Life 3, love it.
Quote:
EA Sports has aggressively pushed the talking point that NBA Live 13 isn't coming off a three-year development cycle, and that's reasonable. Elite represented an entire year of wasted development. The project was reassigned to a different studio, and the new team had to tear it down and understand what it was working with. That accounted for a lot of 2011.
But this isn't Duke Nukem Forever or Half-Life 3. The release date of a simulation sports video game is predictable years in advance. If NBA Live 13 misses that date, for any reason, the reaction will be swift and merciless. It'll be as good as failing to launch.
