Sony lacks any sense of Public Relations and is tighter-lipped than the NSA. I was around for the two month PSN fiasco last year and they never really addressed anything during that process. Don't put a lot of stock in what they say, guys.
They make great electronics, but that's about as far as it goes.
Edit: I will guarantee they are pushing CCP to finish the game, but their recent claims of the release are merely a means to drum up business for the new PS3. |

Thats no way to sell a console. CCP is gunning for a 2012 release if it doesn't launch in October it'll definitly launch in November or December and the game still wont be ready. Its a downgraded merc pack at $30 value that's bundled with the ps3, the beta is a bonus. They are bundling it with the ps3 to get more people in the beta (for those who don't have a beta key). The full launch is not until end of the year/early 2013 and Sony are in the wrong if they are promoting it any other way. People are taking the announcement the wrong way bro, they are stating that the 500gb ps3 is launching in October with dust merc pack/beta. Jesus F'n christ are people really that dense to think dust is 'officially' launching in October?? Has there been any 'official' announcement made by ccp? NO! Anything on Twitter? Facebook? IRC? Forums? Podside? ....NO!
Not to mention on TV. When they're close to going live, you're gonna get sick of the commercials. They may not be CCP's style, but Sony loves to promote.

Sony wants $, hence promoting the Dust aspect of the bundle. When Christmas promotions kick in, you're gonna see it more. You are probably also going to see massive "merc pack" bundling from sony in an effort to get more $. And for those that say Sony has complete control over the game, that is in fact not true. Sony has exclusivity rights and a strong influence, but first and foremost is CCP's copyright of the game and the world it's set in.
Sony can push, prod, release public statements to force CCP's hand (by stating to the press that the game is available in the bundle, it forces CCP into the spotlight), but they cannot directly force the game to release. Playstation is NOT in the business of making video games. That's why they hire CCP, Treyarch, EA, and the likes. |

Original release for this game was March 2011, then November 2011, then the subsequent pushes. Things happen, I get it, the game wasn't and isn't ready and CCP is recognizing that. If CCP were going to release it before it's time, I think that would have happened last year. Give them a shot, guys. They are new to FPS. Have they steered everyone wrong with EVE?
Please consider their history, their ability to admit mistakes, and their desire to put out the best game possible to make their fans happy. They know the profits for this game are going to require that it be one people will play for a long time. For being a F2P game, they sure are busting their humps. |

I believe I've stumbled onto why the Devs don't frequent these forums...
Nice Fillion reference, Unicorn. Might be time for that aerial bombardment of posts you mentioned in the other thread. |
