PoV: Pre-Order Bonuses and Review-Proof Games

Posted Oct 25, 2011 at 4:42PM EST by Listed in: PoV Tags: arkham city, battlefield 3, modern warfare 3, pre-order bonuses, skyrim, skyward sword

Competing pre-order bonuses and insane media hype have changed the gaming world forever, creating an entire collection of games immune from criticism.

I was talking to a friend the other night about some of the upcoming titles this holiday season, and he pointed out something that I hadn’t yet considered regarding the motivation for competitive pre-order bonuses. While I originally thought that the different bonuses were offered by different retailers in order to sway gamers from one location to the other, my friend noted that from the developer/publisher point of view, it doesn’t really matter where you buy your game.

Take Arkham City, for example: GameStop had challenge maps, Best Buy had Robin DLC, Amazon had a digital-only collector’s book and Toys R Us had an action figure. No matter where you ended up buying the game, Rocksteady still ended up with some of your money. As gamers interested in the title, our role has been switched from finding good games to buy to finding the best pre-order value. At some point, we stopped waiting to see what the industry or critics would say about a game and started buying on faith, usually based on previous experiences.

This pre-order mania has created games that are, in essence, review-proof. If you pre-ordered Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Skyward Sword, Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3 and Arkham City (all sequels!), then it’s not really going to matter what anyone in the gaming press has to say about the title. Your money is already spent, and you’re already invested in the experience. When several retailers offer competing pre-order deals, it only helps the game publisher cement its separation from the review process – after all, if you want that exclusive content, you’ll have to buy the game long before you can read a comprehensive review.

Of course, it’s worth noting that when all the big titles are sequels, gamers have a generally good idea of what to expect. We’re also lavished with demos and betas, so perhaps the review process has simply shifted to the perception and experiences of gamers rather than the select few people that receive advance review copies.

What do you think? Are pre-order bonuses helping to protect games from critical reviews? Is it fair that some locations have exclusive content that other gamers won’t be able to access?

Carmack: iPad 2's power is only half that of consoles

Posted Aug 24, 2011 at 5:34AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: iPad Tags: apple, id Software, John Carmack

While id Software's John Carmack is a fan of Apple's technology, he will not go so far as to concur with the claims that iPad 2's power is equal to that of consoles.

He says of Apple's mobile device, "We have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to mobile development." If it were up to him, though, he would much rather have developers bring in their games to consoles and rake in big bucks than pouring it all to iOS games. "We have more power than you can afford to take advantage of.

Regarding the "incorrect hyperbole" of iPad 2's power, "There's been incorrect hyperbole about the power of these devices, where people are saying that they have console-level performance. The iPad 2 has about half the performance power, and that's a ballpark estimate."

He still closes, though, with a positive word for mobile devices. "But that does mean that mobile devices coming out, certainly next year, will be flat out more powerful, and they'll probably be powerful enough where you don't even need the hyper-optimizing, that you could do a fairly easy port-over of your technology and assets."

Earlier last month, Electronic Arts dissed on the App Store, saying that its model is in "freefall".
