Tristan,

Waiting for a direct comment, instead of sniping someone else’s correspondence, is how a respectable writer usually goes about his business.

Just saying.

“Perhaps if Tristan was willing to ask for comment directly this information might not have been interpreted quite so abstractly.”

It’s a shame…because I did. Three days ago. A day before I went to press with this story. In fact, I noted such on a story that preceded this.

Please actually check your E-Mail next time, before inserting your foot into your mouth.

I don’t remember Sega ever being so forceful with the removal of gameplay footage before and it’s slightly disconcerting, especially as other Sega games are being untouched on YouTube (the aforementioned ASR and a quick search brought up lots of off cam Bayonetta footage for example). Take this story in whatever light you wish but the fact remains this is out of the ordinary and my concern about recent Sega policy remains.

It’s a shame you can’t show up for the event dude, but this article gives off a really negative vibe which is a little undeserved. Not being able to videotape M&S will be a very small consolation for the rest of the activities lined up for the day.

Surely getting to play the game first-hand a good while before release is prize enough for showing up at SoS. This policy isn’t exactly unusual or unexpected. Way to make a huge big fuss over something that actually isn’t anything out of the ordinary at all. (In other news, Sonic is blue.)

You realise of course, that recording restrictions are in place at any gaming event? Gamescom, E3, Tokyo Game Show… I’m sure Comic Con had similar restrictions in place. Journalists are aware of such filming restrictions at large expositions, in fact. I’m surprised that this is news to TSSZ.

Just to clarify, attendees will be playing, first hand, demos of the new Mario and Sonic and Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing at the Summer of Sonic convention. Demos that may include information that has yet been revealed or is embargoed until a later date, in fact. There is nothing you can really detract from that experience (considering ASR is in fact months from release) by implementing a very standard recording restrictions practice.

Perhaps if Tristan was willing to ask for comment directly this information might not have been interpreted quite so abstractly.

flame6753 I totally and utterly agree with you my fellow poster. Sega latest are sucking hardcore and they dont wanna show it. I bet you bayonetta will be flaunted like **** but these games wont get to see daylight until release.
