Believe me, I know why they don't. And I know why they don't, because it works. because "real" gamers, will buy it regardless. "real" gamers have already pre-ordered it. And even a shrewd gamer like me is not going to not get the game cause they were dicks about reveals months prior. I have been doing this slow painful dance since MK3 was just a flyer in the back of an egm.
My point is it doesn't have to be. There's no reason for it. There's no reason we can't see some screens of the 8 characters and 4 stages we already know in action. So we have something to talk about besides "Oh shit guyz, boon posted something yellow on twitter, tanya confirmed". Its asinine. It makes me want to not check this site every day, or boons twitter or anything, which in turn means I miss news.
And it seems like every game the amount of coverage gets thinner and thinner. MKvDC was the last time they put any sort of renders / wallpapers out for download, MK9 marked the death of the MKasts, and while Injustice's battle arena was eventaully awesome, it was preceded by almost 4 months of complete radio silence, and NONE of it ever turned up on XBL or PSN.
This game is coming out in April, 6 months away, and that's not even written on its website. You can't even find the trailers that have actual gameplay there, you have to dig through twitter or facebook or youtube, that's retarded. But if I type Smashbros.com in my browser and hit enter, I have every character and everything there is to know about the game at my finger tips. And that's without giving away the 8 hidden characters in the game. That's without giving away features and secrets. Or compromising the trailers that were released exclusively through this outlet or that. That's how it should be. Not, lets all crowd around the eventhubs / tym fire, do a rain dance and pray noobde gives us a trickle.
