Anyone concur?

No videos on the XBL marketplace BAFFLES me.

Look, I know it sucks to wait, but I"m sure the publisher(s) are doing there best. I dont think an idiot would have brought IL2 to consoles. I have faith in them.

And I'm sure the site will get a lot of attention anyway until trailors are made for XBL.

Hmmm, very smart people brought IL-2 to consoles. But that was Gaijin. Now it is out of their hands and into the publishers hands. What i have seen from the publisher so far has not filled me with confidence.

The only reason i say this is because i think IL-2 deserves to be a huge success. I would hate to see it sell badly just because of poor marketing.

Personally, I don't like it when games get hyped far in advance. It usually backfires. A game that gets pushed hard about 2-3 months out, that's the sweet spot IMO. I like following the game, but hype too soon gets old. It's nice when a game gets a lot of press and they can give you a release date at the same time instead of sounding like yet another pipe dream game that never comes out. I think IL-2 will do fine, it's a little different when you put out a game that appeals to a more specific crowd.

Well, like I said I can't blame you, but I'm sure they've got something coming our way.

But yes, you'd think we would have seen something start by now since Anton said July was possible.

What I think he is trying to say is nothing gets the attention it deserves for reasons we don't understand. It seems like marketing is not handled very well on a lot of stuff. Look at Killzone 2 playstation said they were going to market the crap out of it and I only saw one commercial 2 times. They will release it when it is time to sell the game and that is it. We are just going to have to wait.
