I first saw Justin's post on polygon and I thought he had decided to move on after getting married. But this, so completely unexpected and tragic. Like many others here, though I never met him, after hearing his voice and seeing his face for years, it really does feel like I've lost someone close to me.

My thoughts And condolences are with his wife, his family, and the Gb team. Gosh this sucks...

He dodged that Sony question like Max Payne on painkillers.

This conference single handedly made me care about E3 this year.

Care about your consumers. It's such a simple idea. It's good to know that one company understands. Or is at least so good at faking it that I'll let myself believe.

Yeah yeah Nintendo. I hear you. You're cute. But the adults are talking, so just keep playing with your Legos.

Except that Activision has said that was old footage not released by them. Unlike the professionals at Giantbomb I will wait till the game is out to say that Alex should review it.

Exactly. Besides, look at videos of something like DayZ. That game doesn't look outstanding at all and yet thousands of people love it. I'm thinking this will be the same way.

One is free, one will probably be $60. One was made by ONE guy the other a team... Yeah, it's totally the same.

I'm saying how can you judge this to be bad though? If it looks on par with Day Z and Day Z is 'awesome' why can't this be awesome? Because it doesn't look like Call of Duty? FTL looks like absolute shit then. It's just a static screen....Yet it's fun.....the fuck?

Isn't Day Z awesome for what it is? I'm not sure you will find anyone who can defend it without using the words beta, free or mod.So again different expectations. We can look past the visuals if you want though, does this game not look clunky as fuck to you? Granted we are all speculating but with a trailer like that I don't believe we are getting to carried away.

Sure, but how hard is clunky to fix? How old is this footage? Is it OFFICIAL footage? I've never known Activision to push anything out that isn't high quality. Maybe it is a little clunky at release, but it'll be patched. They wont push it out and abandon it. I'm keeping my hopes up. There's no reason to call this bad until someone has played it and it's in a release state.

Activision published X-Men: Destiny.

Oh man. Oh man, this was so great. So much this.

Gah, I'm having the exact same problem. Video player update is a good likely culprit. Darn :(

Not gonna lie, I threw a bit of a fit reading that there announcement. But I think y'all have your priorities secure. Giantbomb is awesome, and as long as it's awesome, I'm with ya.

Just promise me you'll stay away from Kotaku. Yeah? Ok we good.

Well, now they just look like a little kid who didn't get to watch the cartoon he wanted, so instead of dealing with what got picked, he turned the tv off and ran away crying.  
 
it's sad they they feel so threatened by OnLIve (because really, is ANYONE using it?), or that they are too proud to admit they made a bad decision that they are just going to return their games.  
 
However, returning their copies IS a better way of handling it than tampering with the product. If only they had done that in the first place... 
 
I'm not one to wish bad on other people, but their original decision (to physically remove the coupons), is one that deserves to have the person responsible fired.
