I can\'t believe...

how bad 989 Sports are this year.  I read the reviews about how terrible Gameday 2001 was, but never did i figure it would infect all their games.  I had a rent one get one free coupon yesterday, so i went out and figured i would try the 989 Final Four college hoops since it was the only college game out.  Man, it was absolutely horrible. It would be poor even for PSX, graphics and playability are horrible.  As a freebie, i figured i would try Gamebreaker 2001, man, what a piece of crap.  Another game that wasn\'t worthy of the original PSX.  After about 3 minutes of both games, they were back at the video store.

Not trying to rant, just very curious as to why Sony would even let these games out for release when they are that bad.  Sony needs to worry more about shipping systems and forget games completely.

I think we should of all got a clue, when Sony kept hiding the games from any big events ,etc.

The games, in my opinion, was put out under pressure. 989 was probally given a deadline. They met it barely. Sony said , fine lets ship them, they suck, but oh well

This is pure speculation though.

Whatever reason; 989 needs to be punished.

I couldn\'t agree more with your theory.  It\'s almost as though they just maybe tweaked the original PSX versions.  I love Sony and their system, but man, i just can\'t stop shaking my head about their games.

Does someone at Sony actually get to sit down and see if the game sucks? I would have thought that responsibility would have been up to 989 Sports. Wouldn\'t Sony only need to ship the game out?

Shack,
When i say i was shocked Sony released these games, it\'s because 989 is a division of Sony if i\'m not mistaken.  I mean, the PSX and PSX2 are great systems, and my surprise comes from the fact that a company so involved with putting out a good machine, could have such a lacking game development department.
