Makes you wonder just how much more bribing goes on in order to garner positive statements doesn't it?
And it's certainly interesting that VG247 haven't added this to their recent "Forza developers say Forza is really awesome" articles (written absolutely poe-faced without their traditional sarcastic stingers in, I notice). I've seen it referred to more than once on this site by commenters.
I can't possibly imagine it would recieve such a snubbing if it where representative of a different gaming platform - any whiff of criticism or negative rumour seems to be lasciviously spewed forth (with added sarcasm) and even promoted as one of the three highlighted stories at the top of the site. Funny that.
But it would be nice to see a source more credible than a PlayStation site talking about a Microsoft IP. Not that credible sources mean much to some folk. I guess you can always slap the word "RUMOUR" in front of it and still do a story on it. I've been told that that's more than adequate.
Heh, and even if it were posted as news, it sure as hell wouldn't make it to one of the three highlighted stories at the top of the site would it?
So, yeah, conspicuous by its absence.
