Oh I know.. but why would they be informed about what resolution the ps4 version is in a request for a review code when they do not review ps4 games?
And? I also said that I was only preordered on faith based on a hope that Obsidian could recapture the New Vegas magic, but seeing something as simple as basic Pro enhancements being missing made me question whether that faith was misplaced.
WC made a mistake by not even waiting a day before posting inflammatory content and creating a firestorm, that's fact.
Why wouldn't they? It's not like you can't report on it. Even tho you don't review on PS4.
Exactly. That poster is trying to reframe the debate by trying to make it sound like this a matter of opinion when we have objective facts.
Exactly.
Or they'll now be waiting for a 'sale' the disingenuous nature of some individuals on here is hilarious.
Many of them have been like this since the Neogaf days. So they have ot be at least aged 30+ and still fanboying it up.
Ok please explain this to me..
This quote comes from a request for a review code.. according to jez himself.. I have requested tons of codes when I still bothered to do reviews.. I have never asked for a ps4 or xbox code and then gotten Info on resolution.. I get what you are hinting at, I just think it is strange that this quote is from an email about game codes.

It's very common in review season to send a list of questions and clarifications when you are also requesting review codes for a game that you are covering.
I'm going to explain to you why you're going to take the L on this one.
You said earlier in this thread regarding WC that "It's been clear for years that their journalistic standards are nonexistent. "
You said the day before "seeing something as simple as basic Pro enhancements being missing made me question whether that faith was misplaced."
And based on your other comments, this leads me to believe that you have generally distrusted these websites, especially WC, for a while now.
So based on all that, it's very strange to see you call into question the journalistic standards of a website you clearly have not trusted for sometime, but based on their reporting, cancelled your pre-order, and then when it has been proven that they directly quoted PR, you double down with a comment like "if that email is accurate"
Take. The. L.
P.S.
Stop trying to say they did something wrong by not waiting a day and supposedly posting something inflammatory. They reported on information provided to them accurately.
Take. The. L.
Yes, because an enhancement like that has everything (or in your words, a simple part of) to do with what made New Vegas special.
/s an enhancement like that has nothing to do with recapturing New Vegas' magic and there's nothing simple about it. Unless you're saying that graphics is a simple part of what made NV special. If so, then Gamebryo laughs at you. NV could look like a PS1 game and would still have that magic.
To state it in their review? Why would Obsidian withhold that information when it looks like the question posed was directly about both consoles and not just the X? Saying "Here's the X, we're not going to tell you the Pro information because that's not the version you're reviewing" sounds a little crazy right?
So, should Windows Central be banned on resetera due to their low standards of journalism?
Oh I know.. if I wanted to get educated on which code I should ask for, but not when I only do reviews on one console, but maybe if I wanted to make an article that gets a lot of hits from a certain kind of reader.
The email isn't just about codes...look at the title, it's an inquiry on The Outer Worlds itself.
The part about resolutions says:
RE resolutions...that RE means that they had a previous conversation (regarding) as this is part of an email chain going back and forth. Nothing strange about it.
Could it be possible there were several questions in the email that also contained the request for a code?
No, that couldn't be. You can only ask one question per email, everybody knows that.
Oofff and he'll still carry on

Why can't the responsible party, Private Divison, admitting they made a mistake be enough? Why must you continue to blame WC?
We really live in a world where it doesn't matter what is or isn't real but what a person wants to be real, don't we?
Welp...
Welp...
Guys I get what you mean.. my point is that why should a site dedicated to one console only seek out information about another console version? This isn't called journalism or reporting, this is just to get hits or make the product you review look "better".
That's just my two cents about this.
I read through the other thread without commenting because... well... I didn't want to jump to conclusions. GOOD CALL, ME.
