You know, if I were Henry Electronicarts or J. Garrett Activision, with all this preemptive buzz I'd use my financial power to buy the IP for pennies on the dollar, employ a handful of the dispersed staff, promise a speedy sequel and come out smelling like a rose.

But then again money overrides evil in my mind, so it'll never happen.

Damn piracy!

@X-RS Too much what?

I'm sure it took quite a bit of unpayed overtime to make a world so rich and vivid.

Seeing as how Rhode Island has got 100% of the tab for ol' 38's production costs, I wonder if a week's interest earned from one of Curt Schillings's various investments or endorsements might cover payroll... you know... next month.

The non-mind numbing interview I would have rather had: "We made a modern game like DOOM except the monster closets have aliens instead of demonic monsters. And the graphics are prettier."

"We made the multiplayer like Splinter cell, except spies are now aliens and mercs are now marines."

"Any questions?"

"Good. I'll be at the bar if anyone needs me."

Ever notice everyone is an "editor" these days? What ever happened to the title "staff writer"?

I guess we're the Everybody Gets a Trophy generation.

@EPaul: Probably higher than a 6.0 now that you make me think of it. Still better than anything in Turok, though.

Is it just me or do I smell a brand new "Greatest Video Game Ending of All Time" brewing?

I'll give all of my wool (and a $5 pre-order months ahead of time) just to play five minutes of this! BAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Ah, sure, I'll buy it. Why the hell not?
