Man that was one horrid preview! They had spelling errors, misinformation (HUcaseal, and FOnewearl are brand new characters!)

Not to mention the two new classes!....wtf? Who wrote that crap? They refered to it as PSO v2 numerous times, and on top of it all said lobby soccer was a brand new feature.. O_o

Read it for a good laugh.

it must have taken more effort to write that reply and wait for him to post a link than to actually go there

Rather odd. You would think a "high-profile" place like IGN would have more up-to-date previews.

I'm not surprised though, maybe they're just waiting for the domestic release like normal people, ( http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif ) so they can give an accurate review.

Yeah, but even if they are waiting for the domestic release, they could've at least looked around at all the other PSO websites:

"Of course, don't forget that Sonic Team has added two new character classes to the mix. We don't have any screenshot or movie evidence of them yet, but stay tuned and we'll let you know as soon as we uncover them."

IGN = duh

Long has the time passed since IGN could be considered respectable media.

Respectable, since when?

Why rely on that especially all the errors they make, hell, they can't even get the 3 classes correct. Besides, they've been biased from the beginning. I never liked the editors and writers there. Especially ones who rate WWF licensed game like its been apotheosized.

Well.....in my opinion IGN always seemed to be in too much of a hurry to "break the news first". I used to turn to IGN first but don't go there too often any more.

IGn is always the first to figure out stuuf, but don't seem to change the information when nessescary. They'd rather be watching pornomovies. Secret: There is a See A Movie Star (female) Naked section of IGN.

I'm not joking. I don't know how I got there but I did.

I just got done reading it. The thing was like a v2 preview! News Flash: v2 is OLD. DEAD. EXTINCT (well, not entirely). The only real difference was the new Character creation movie they posted.

IGN. Proofreading. Look into it.
It's sad how many typos and other errors are in IGN's articles. I suppose it's important to get the article out before the other sites do. But how hard is it to check a 1-2 page article?
