Where is Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction's Launch Center?

Gamespot has given five games Launch Centers recently:

1. Bioshock
2. Halo 3
3. Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass
4. Madden 08
5. Guitar Hero 3

Now, I agree that the first two deserved Launch Centers, I sort of agree with the third, but the last two I don't get at all.

I mean, of you people on this forum are or were extremely hyped for Madden 08 or Guitar Hero 3. First of all, most people that buy the Madden games are casuals and aren't visiting Gamespot on a regular basis. It's just big because it takes America's biggest sport and puts it in game form. Guitar Hero 3 is also played by casuals who don't spend their time on Gamespot. Besides, what's so special about Guitar Hero 3 besides new songs and boss battles?

So, if Madden and Guitar Hero get Launch Centers, why doesn't Ratcet and Clank. I mean, that game will be epic, and it certainly seems like it should get a Launch Center in comparison with Guitar Hero 3, Madden 08, and Legend of Zelda. So, c'mon Gamespot, where's the Ratchet and Clank Launch Center?

Sony didnt pay for itR-Dot-Yung

Oh, so the Launch Centers aren't picked by Gamespot, but paid for by the game publishers? I feel stupid now... I'll just keep this thread anyway.

I didn't realise they were ads...

lol, no i dont know that for sure, but im assuming there is money involved, it is huge advertising

Then wouldn't Sony be the most dominant in this area?

Ratchet deserves a launch center :'(

That's like asking why Heavenly Sword and Lair didn't get a launch centre. I'm pretty confident that the people who have played the games further than any of us know which games deserve a launch centre :)Nemme

Then how come Madden 08 (8.5) got a Launch Center and The Orange Box (9.5) didn't?

Hm... fair enough.

Ratchet is not a big game.

Honestly, other than Cows, whos pumped up for Rachet and Clank?

Gamespot makes launch centers to attract viewers, and R&C isn't big enough to warrent its own center.

PS2 owners that don't have PS3s yet are excited about it and many will probably buy PS3s just for it.

Why would you? Not one RnC game has even sold over 3 million worldwide. RnC is not as big a seller as PS3 users make it out to be on this forum. Last one only sold 2.17 million out of 120 million PS2s

:lol:

Can you rephrase that so I can sig you? Something like "Sony's marketing campaign is more aggressive than Microsoft's would do nicely.

back to topic, I don't really think that it deserves it, but what does really deserve it is SMG.
