Whoever wrote that article should be shot because of what they said about Lorne!!!
*it's ok... calm down Abe Babe*
OK... that aside... that article very much sounds like the type of stuff that was floating around just after OWI announced the move to the Xbox... there was a lot of negativity towards it, mainly because people didn't like change, didn't like the wait, or didn't like the exclusive console thing.
My opinion is that I support OWI in whatever they do... they are the ones making the game, and they should know the problems that they encountered w/ developing for the PS2 more than anyone. Also I think that OWI were starting Xbox development before the deal was signed (it was always a rumor), and they realized the difference. Plus the Xbox allowed them to create the game without having to comprimise on certain aspects.
Other than that, apart from the wait (and it has gone quicker than expected), I think that in the end we are getting a better game for it. There will be more creatures per level, and you only have to look at the actual game play screens to see how impressive the graphics are (remember the PS2 movies were not live gameplay, but pre-programmed).
