Ok....

We're moving into February and we still aren't seeing much in the way of promotion for BoP. It might be nice to beat HoE to the punch and hit the media with a bunch of movies or dev interviews soon wouldn't it? I, for one, don't want to see what happened to Flatout:Ultimate Carnage happen to this game. Small Finnish developer Bugbear created the best looking/driving racer on the 360 but because there was no promotion or word of mouth, it was swallowed up by the massive marketing push of the 1 dimensional Burnout series.

Shame really...

this game is actually doing rather well on the PR side of things.

they have released i believe 3 videos showing the game engine and gameplay , and there are some dev walkthroughs hidden across these boards.

If you look in some of the threads you will see great questions answered by the CEO of gaijen

I could name a few games that are doing MUCH MUCH worse on the PR side of things. such as gearbox's aliens colonial marines.

anyway

Im sure they are working on press stuff right now for the game.

Anton has not been on for awhile so that means he has been rather busy with things

I think some hd vids on xbl would be a great way to generate interest.

Also a new 'hands on' session with the major gaming sites (ign, txb, gamespot etc) would be good. I think it was June 08 that these major sites last mentioned bop.

Love it or hate it hype is the way games are sold these days. With battle stations and Heroes over Europe coming out around the same time, bop will need a rocksolid marketing campaign. (marketing is what I do - anton, send me a message if you need a hand with the Australian marketing campaign).

X Blades is releasing soon, Anton's probably busy with that. I'm looking forward to HAWX and Heroes over Europe but they're just stop gaps til BoP. But yeah, we need just a little snippet of info to keep us going..

Sorry Guilty, but other than the 6 or so of us that frequent this BoP forum, I don't think the buried dev interview links are really getting out to the masses. Judging from the number of us on this forum, I don't think too many people are coming here...

I shouldn't have to go hunting through 25 clips on YouTube to find an interview with one of the devs that has terrible sound and another interview going on in the background...

I keep eagerly checking every week, hoping to see some new info on this game. The wait is killing me. With the lack of a website, promotion, etc., I get the feeling that we may not see this game for quite a while.

I check up on this forum fairly regularly. My friends and I are convinced that this is going to be one of the best titles of 2009. Within my gaming community we are quite excited about this game.
