Hang on a second...isn't Square Enix locked in an agreement with an external 3rd party who is developing the costumes? I know what that is like, being locked in an agreement with a 3rd party that just doesn't get it. I think all this bashing is a bit misdirected. Companies nowadays have to do a lot of agreements with 3rd parties just to get certain projects rolling, let alone get a high quality output from a project. Once you put that money in, its very hard to cancel that agreement if things don't go well. And when things go bad you always try to mitigate and come to a compromise that you can live with. Of course you can't tell that to the public...so what else can you do.
@Jourdy288@alexarayc: I don't mean any disrespect to the authors of either of the articles...but all these insinuations of plagiarism just because of the coincidence that both articles share the same title is a bit much. The title is not all that unique. And I've fully read both articles and I don't believe for a second that there was any plagiarism involved. Moreover, the two articles have divergent agendas behind them, therefore how is this plagiarism?
I credit both authors for writing a story that they're passionate about. Since so much coverage nowadays go toward hyping and analyzing current or upcoming games, it is actually refreshing to read an article about the games that could have been. And I find myself asking, how many more games are out there that have been cut because of understandable business reasons? And is it always a business reason? Or do potential epics become missed opportunities because key individuals never meet and work together on a project?
We all know that there are plenty of games that should never have come into fruition (I'm looking at you Watchdogs -- worst PS4 game I ever spent money on). Perhaps the best thing to take away from both of these articles is the wonder to what could have been. Let's focus on that.
I got to know of Tom Clancy the game developer before I got to know of him as a writer. My first interaction with Tom Clancy's games was actually Rainbow Six. Back then I had only begun to get involved with games, so it kind of became a benchmark against which I rated other shooters.
I wish that he'd have seen the launch of The Division, cuz I have no doubt that it is going to be a great game.
@MXVIII @rez_1kabir maybe... I'm going to take a skeptical stance regarding this because if it was something like a tv screen attached to your face with a separate unit processing the graphics then wouldn't something like that have been developed successfully by now?
I somehow thought that the PS VR would've been the top news...
Maybe we should all take a step back and think about it...I think the main question with this technology will be whether or not it can match up to the high graphical expectations that us gamers have nowadays.
Personally I would like to see how Sony develop's it...will be looking forward to any further news about it.
I like the idea of a massive open world environment from a car racing game...one question though...is there a law enforcement element to this game? ...like cops chasing you on the highways if you go above the speed limits.
