"I don't think I need to explain the implications of a corporate exec going all vendetta on some kid outside of the forum."
What? There is no implications. I personally have been attacked by one of the top guys at Gearbox software, for example (those guys are real jerks). Lots of people have been attacked by one of the old PR guys on the Epic software message boards. This happens all the time. People are people, and when an employee of ANY company attacks any other person anonymously, it's not a big deal. It really does happen all the time.
The more interesting news is the update that says this information leak has been "dealt with", for a few years now there has been much internal strife in the NeoGAF administration staff, nearly all of it invisible even to the regular posters there.
The games media hates this because it takes away the #1 news item they reported on for the last one and a half years, giving them ad revenue on article clicks.
The fanboys hate this because this makes the 360 the clear and obvious winner this gen.
I think the game is coming along quite well, especially considering Namco says the graphics aren't anywhere near done.
That entire EGM article was pretty perverted, lol. I have no problems with Ivy's bust size at all. It's crazy, but these are videogames...
Finally, it's amazing Joystiq managed to 'get in trouble' like this yet again. Joystiq reminds me of an innocent forum poster, why do I keep visiting it though?
I actually had to think back to remember I did have this problem with my launch 360.
The colors would slowly get staticy and the colors would start turning dark. That 360 also froze up A LOT, which was why I sent it into MS to get a new one. That was over a year ago, and my current one has been fine (other than occasional freezes, usually related to internet play / access).

Jul 18th 2007 9:07PM (Joystiq)Who CARES what goes on in ANY forum, unless it has real implications to someone outside the forum?
Also, Joystiq's NAME is banned at NeoGAF, I think Joystiq should ban the name NeoGAF from news articles.

Super Stardust HD shoots up PSN today
Jun 28th 2007 4:25PM (Joystiq)Secondly, I hear it's supposed to be released tomorrow on US PSN, but it could be delayed again, I suppose.
Damn you Joystiq for making me check for myself. Can't you do a little of the work yourselves?

Nintendo hearts the environment
Jun 25th 2007 9:18PM (Joystiq)I'd rather have an unbiased report from some environmental agency, not even a game related one.

Jun 20th 2007 8:51PM (Joystiq)Shitty games like these SHOULDN'T be published, and the marketing angle was selling on shock value alone.
