Sony acting like all big corporations then! Corruption and lies is the way to go in business.


Ten whys in gaming.

1) Why did Capcom make Resident Evil 6 so bad?
2) Why did Capcom never remake Resident Evil 2 like they did the first game?
3) Why did Square Enix try to make Final Fantasy XIII for everyone?
4) Why are we still getting 50hz games in 2013?
5) Why did Nintendo just not at a little more power in the Wii U?
6) Why did Nintendo not make RPG as standard on their already blurry N64?
7) Why did most magazines and reviewers give Street Gangs on NES low scores when it is in fact amazing and now a cult classic?
8) Why did Sega never incorporate Chaos Emeralds into the levels on the Mega Drive Sonic games like they did with the MS games?
9) Why did Nintendo ever think the blue shell was a good idea? It never helps the person that actually gets it!
10) Why can't I play Power Drive Rally via an Atari Jaguar emulator? It's 2d!

On a similar theme, i was thinking of doing a Top 10 way's i've been lied to by the industry over the years, post, but you've beat to to most of them with the above :-)

I will add:

Zzap 64 reviewing unfinished and then canned C64 code for Operation Thunderbolt, version they reviewed looked fantastic and got a sizzler award.Auctual game released was rubbish.

Bungies 9-Min Halo 2 E3 Single Player demo, (Xbox), looked fantastic, plus MS ad campain made out fight would be all about saving your homeworld, only spent a level or so on Earth and game was no-where near what Bungie later admitted they knocked up just for E3.

Edge:Airbrushing screen shots for Xbox DOA 3 (Never knew why, game looked superb as it was).

MS claiming the Xbox would be Region-Free and then saying NOTHING on subject when it turned out it was'nt.

Peter Molyneux, with his claims for:Fable (You could have kids, they'd be inttegral part of the game, which would be THE best RPG, EVER!-You could'nt, it was'nt).

For Milo+Kate, which he then said 'We' were'nt ready for or willing to accept (you faked it Peter, i can accept that).

He's since gone onto say 'I can name at least 10 features in games i've made up, just to stop jurnolists going to sleep'.

Elite 4 is coming David Braben, in numerous mags over numerous years, pre-Kickstarter.

Then you've Square Enix putting up side by side shots of PS3/360 FF13, saying both versions would look the same, then admitting the 360 shots were in fact the SAME PS3 shots just with 360 control inputs laid on top.
