Your link says "This year Max Busser has co-operated with Felix Baumgartner of Urwerk", so the same Urwerk designer worked on both watches.

And yet most game designers can't get their name on the box of their games. I guess you have to be a movie director to be worthy of having your name on a game's box.

Just to be clear, Jeux France isn't saying that the game is delayed indefinitely (i.e. cancelled), they're saying that the release is pushed back with no new release date given (i.e. the game is coming out, just not in March).

I was at Harvey Smith's presentation at the Montreal International Games Summit, and I think what he said was blown out of proportions. His presentation wasn't "why Blacksite sucks", it was something entirely ("The Imago Effect" for those curious) and he spent 10 minutes at the start doing a short post-mortem of Blacksite. Sure he was harsh on the project, but honestly almost everyone in the games industry has been on projects that went worse than that.

Another presentation at the MIGS, a post-mortem of Crackdown, felt harsher honestly. The producer there described parts of the project as "The Gates of Hell" and such -- I didn't come out of that presentation with a warm fuzzy feeling about Microsoft as a publisher...

Smith's post-mortem was awfully close to the game's release though. Add to this that he said how much he loved Montreal at the start of his presentation and how he'd spent a lot of time thinking about what he'd do with Deus Ex 3 -- that adds credence to the idea he did this either because he knew he was leaving Midway or because he wanted to get fired, and he's going to work on Deus Ex 3. Frankly I hope he does work on that game -- no matter what you think of his work, I prefer to have someone who've seen the good and bad parts of working on a Deus Ex project than someone who's entirely new at it.

I don't even have a TV, so I _deserve_ this one :D

Gimme the faceplate!

To me, a game released without a demo is like a movie released without a trailer -- just bad marketing.
