All good things come to those that wait... Thats a phrase we have all heard before once in our lives am I right? Well its a good one and when it comes to video games it can be all that stands between a crappy game and fantastic one.
In my last blog I ranted a bit about Online Retailers and there methods and reasons behind listing inaccurate Release Dates.
This time I want to rant a bit about a over eager and ever more popular practice that devs use that can cause delays o plenty if not full blown cancellations.
I read an article on N4G the other day that talked about bullshots and how the advertising of such magnificent looking screenshots "bull-shots" so early in a games development stage can cause epic disappointment and truly test how great a gamers patience can be while the developer try's to catch up to what they glamored up and flaunted off 3 years back.
And if a gamers patience is anything like there attention spans, there isn't a lot of room for delays before one can lose interest and faith in a developer.
Why do they touch up screenshots?
Well im sure theres more than one answer but the easiest one is that there trying to sell a product... Not only to you the consumer but to a publisher as well.
A great example of what I am rambling about is none other than Digi guy's " in development?" WarDevil game. This game was first shown in 2006 and I will note that there have been many more reason's why this game is still TBA other than them trying to live up to what they've prettied up and shown off in the past.
So just remember that phrase I mentioned in the beginning and take a nice relaxing deep breath and chill, perhaps there is a game coming out this month that can help make the wait less rage provoking and more tolerable.... Unfortunately that game wont be RAGE BECAUSE THEY FREAKING DELAYED IT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BLOODY CALENDER!!!

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
It pisses me off when they announce games too early.
Diablo 3
Doom 4
we have heard about these games for 2.5-3 years....they might not be out until 2013...that is just insane.
