Slowtrain Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 To use a real life example, the latest Hyper (Aussie mag) features a preview of Fallout 3, and at the end it says "from what we've seen so far, Fallout 3 is shaping up to be one of the games of 2008", not "Fallout 3 is the game of 2008". A preview is for what a game appears to be, a review is for what it actually is. Is that preview linkable, HK? I'm interested in seeing what has lead to that statement. A statement which of course needs to be take with several grains of salt since it is atatched to almost every preview ever written. I actually always assumed it was simply a boilerplate line that had to be there in a preview. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Slowtrain Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well, I found the Hyper forums, but no Falliut 3 preview sadly. Anyway, completely off topic: a quick browse through the hyper forums has once again reminded me that Australians RULE. yes.
