EA Slashing Current-Gen Pricetags

kukyfrope writes "In order to help push current-gen sales, EA is slashing prices on some of its upcoming titles. For instance, two of EA's most anticipated titles, The Godfather (March 14) and Black (February 28), will retail for $39.95." From the article: "It'll be interesting to see how the market reacts to these price cuts. We would guess that several other publishers could soon follow EA's lead and drop the prices on their upcoming current-gen software also. It could be just the strategy the industry needs to boost overall sales. $39.95 looks like a bargain when it's sitting on the shelf next to a next-generation game priced at $59.95."

Its only a bargain...

...If the game doesnt suck. Neither of those games looks particularly promising IMHO.

Actually, everything I've heard about Black is that it looks compellingly attractive for a FPS. Environment detail and the fact that say, shooting a ceiling will cause it to come crashing down on your enemies in a realistic way, or that hiding behind a wooden door is no longer a way to avoid bullets of a high caliber, are two ways that I've already seen in their (playable) demos that demonstrate a desire to create a fun and inventive game that mimics reality.

Also, anyone who has actually shot the guns used in the game (myself, not included) would supposedly appreciate the detail into the guns, the sound effects, and the realistic recoils and such (from what I've seen in previews).

So instead drinking all that Hater-ade, why don't you wait and see the title before you bash it... If it sucks then, it sucks, but before then, you really don't know what you're talking about.
