Ok, then the original point restated-- It's great when you have a dev commenting on how great his own product will be. Just look how that's worked with SOE.

I like Sid's games but I never trust a dev to judge their own work. All that ever matters to me is how much I enjoy it. If I weren't lazy I could probably pull up quotes for how great Civ 3 was going to be and then match it against the comments in the CiV 4 manually that tactfully said Civ 3 sucked. Or, since this is an SOE thread, I can just quote Smed for just about everything the company has put out.

Devs are not credible for judging their own work.Neither are hype mags. You are using both...

LOL, do you even read what you type?
Even if it'd be quoted in the Bible, it still would be a quote. By the creator of the game.

correct it is a biased remark by the creator however i have always enjoyed all the civ games am willing to bet that the game will be good the devs have always done a good job improving on what they messed up or players felt was wrong with past games and trust him to give a semi good report what the game is going to look like

Hell yeah, I loved playing Dreamcast online. It was laggy as hell at times but really new to the console gamers. I remember spending my fair share of time playing football and phantasy star online.

Hmm.. laggy as hell at times... damn. Good to see we dont have that problem now.... ewps. PROGRESS!! WEWT!

I bet smedley's kids play wow

The biggest thing that I think that we’ve learned is that they’ve shown that polish is probably the king of everything. In the early days of this industry, it was new, so putting something out there that was untested … (the audience) was a little bit more forgiving. In this day and age, you’ve got to spend money to get the production value and polish the game. And that’s something that we’re really focused on.
No, no I don't think you've learned that at all.

i think with all the interviews recently done with him we are going to see a huge change in the way soe handles things in the future they are now a division of Sony and not there own entity and as such i dont see Sony putting up with the way soe handles customer service i think it may take some time for this to change in there games like everquest 2 but in there upcoming releases i think it will be much better and slowly leech into the way things are handled in there current games

and no im no soe fanboi i fucking hate the way they handle things currently and the state of eq2 but i have to have hope that things will change because eq2 is still one of the better games i have played and enjoyed more then any other i have played
