Oh for sure. It just comes across as so poorly planned. The thing is launching in 3 months and they basically wall of texted everybody
Worse, they turned what should have been a reveal of a bunch of stuff that the rest of the world
can't play because we're not in Japan into a text adventure. I'm still reeling from the fact that there was so little actual video shown of the games themselves.
I mean, I get it. If all my years in the industry have taught me anything, it's that 99% of games come together in like the last
week before a game hits gold master state. I don't think devs have the luxury of forking their code to make a TGS-only build when they have to hit launch (though there are a
lot of playable games at the show, obviously). I know some studios actually make specific builds just for trailers, and maybe that won't work.
I guess I'm just pissed that TGS is, yet again, ignored by the west. GamesCom has become a major milestone. TGS? Ha! Stupid Japanese kids won't see new versions of
our games! Rargh rargh rage about having to cowtow to NDAs and friends that get me all hyped for a no-show.
Holy crap, all my responses are turning into novellas. Sorry. I'll shut up now and get back to work.
