blog post: False Advertising

posted on July 21, 2008 @ 08:31 am

When news came out that Star Wars characters would be in SC4, I didn't bother looking into it more... all I thought was "wow, that's not really appropriate for the universe." and that's all I knew.

The latest EGM has a back cover ad for SC4, showing both Vader and Yoda, as well as two other SC characters.

I just found out that, despite it being advertised as having both characters in the game, they won't be in the same version (Artayd2 made me privy to this). The PS3 will get Vader, and the 360 will get Yoda. I've been told "where have you been, this info has been known forever!" but I fail to see how this information is properly relayed to the general public on the back of a gaming magazine, in the manner they have presented it.

I wasn't planning on picking up the game before, but I will not pick it up for sure now.

Yeah it is presented as though they are in the same game and it is deeply disappointing for owners of the 360 as, let's face it, Vader is way cooler. but it is pretty much common knowledge that they aren't in the same game, i guess you'd really only know about that though if you'd cared to look, so really only people looking forward to it and researching etc. are actually aware.
