Go Betas!
Deathsaw \| 8:45 PM on 09.13.2007	7 comments

I think Beta's are the way to go with games. Fuck E3, release a Beta. Wouldn't it be great if all of the game companies just made their games Betable? I understand some games can't get the Beta treatment, but with Reserving orange box and getting a TF2 beta to playing the CoD 4 beta, I just think that should be the new thing in video games. Plus, it's better then throwing a huge money draining press party. What do you guys think?

o and yah I agree with what you are saying.

(But seriously, yeah I enjoy the trend of Betas that has been happening for the past while. Gives me a chance to play a game before I buy it, sort of like a progressive demo that developers can add to, like what we have seen with the CoD4 Beta.)

Hey...yeah! Your right man!

totally agree with that. they should make it so that betas are available to anyone, but takes a little more work to get. Makes the game more worth playing.

Eh, not every game needs a beta though. The purpose of a beta is to work out last minute bugs and play balance that the QA team can't test for themselves (like server load, and what happens when we get a crapload of players in here doing things they aren't supposed to, etc)

It is not, despite what you might like to think, just a way to be nice to the community and let them play early.
