Re: How dumb is Xbox.IGN?

In Response To: How dumb is Xbox.IGN? (Picky) : Okay, I just lost all faith in xbox.ign, as they have to be the dumbest group : of people I've seen. I don't believe anyone was ever allowed to play the : PC version which leads to me wonder, how they know choppiness isn't : up to par, not to mention the fact that the visuals CAN'T be worse : because the water and island are both BRAND NEW. They have nothing : equal, visually, on the PC, I'm hoping this will change when they port : (atleast by allowing us to set this stuff ourselves - I WANT THAT WATER). The press may nevcer have played PC Halo (though they may have, I'm not sure), but they were certainly shown it. At last year's E3 and on several occasions before that. And they aren't particularly critical of the framerate either. They express faith that Bungie can fix it before the game ships. : Further more: They are the dumbest people I've seen, as they go on to : use only PC shots in their p/review (As it's a preview, but with hands on, : that sort of makes it a review, but you can't review a pre-alpha game). That's not true. There are some PC shots in the archive section, but when those were added, the Xbox version hadn't been shown yet. All their new shots and half the old ones are from the Xbox and the PC ones are clearly marked. : How can you review a brand new product, yet use something from : something totally different? They might as well have used Tribes 2 shots, : as they didn't even show the proper PC marine shots. I don't get what you're saying here. Are they not allowed to talk about what they think of the E3 games because they aren't final? They'll give another preview or two based on later versions by the time the game is released and a review of the final product when it's released. And the PC marine and Xbox marine are the same, so I don't know what you're talking about there either. : They suck. I believe your handle is fitting. First you complain about some of theiur information being old, even though it's clearly marked as such, then you complain that their new information is wrong and won't reflect the final product even though they've seen both versions of Halo, and you haven't and they point out that the problems will most likely be fixed by the time Halo ships. Would you like them to give no real info about games until they ship? The public demands more than that.
