Mind’s Eye released and I’d honestly be surprised if you knew what this game is. It seems to have Playstation of all companies providing refunds I think IO Interactive has some responsibility. It should be noted it is a game made by former Rockstar developer Leslie Benzies. He has worked on nearly every GTA amoung other games such as LA Noir. Now, I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. This is their studios first game while the staff seems to have experience it should be at least a higher quality. I have not played this myself, but videos have included gameplay. The game looks like it was made for the PS3 or Xbox 360. Now, people are probably expecting me to absolutely rip into the game and its developers which when they refused review copies, but I’m not going too. I don’t insult or criticize something I haven’t played. More than likely this will end in the same way Concord did which means game is shutdown and Playstation and IO Interactive will likely try and pretend this never happened. This will lead to one of two outcomes the studio that made it, Build A Rocket Boy, will be quietly shutdown and staff shuffled into other projects, or and this is the least likely nothing happens and the studio quietly makes other smaller games or helps with other projects. The response from Build A Rocket Boy or Leslie Benzies is the funniest thing and sort of reminds me of the Romine brothers and their terrible studio. The fact they are saying people are being paid to criticize their game. I just find that hilarious and kind of sad to see an adult act like a toddler. It is one thing to release absolute garbage, but an entirely different thing to not take responsibility. IO will likely say something too though probably will go the EA or Activision route of throwing their staff under the bus.
