Is penello legitimately stupid or something?
This guy is the cause of 90% of the MS PR blunders for the last 5 months.

Why do they still write up this guys paycheck every week?

JokesOnYou3814d ago (Edited 3814d ago )

That sucks! That's it Penello is officially a dumbazz, I was right about him constantly addressing neogaf,.... now the #1 rule of PR is don't say something will be free when you are not 100% sure it is and considering the bad PR after the X1 reveal he should know better to say something like that before confirming.

GiggMan3814d ago (Edited 3814d ago )

Jokes said something Xbox sucks o_0

On topic I agree, it really does...

Penello and anyone else for that matter just need to shut up and let the platforms launch.

majiebeast3814d ago

How does the product manager not know this. Microsoft PR fudging up again they should just honor it anyway.

Godmars2903814d ago

So they haven't learned anything from the original announcement missteps. Even with new management/PR people.

PoSTedUP3814d ago

joke's only being real. if i was MS i would have gotten rid of that fool a long time ago. its like he's being paid by sony to make MS look stupid... except hes being paid by MS to make their stupid look even "stupider".

Deathdeliverer3814d ago

I had to check the name a few times. I can't believe you wrote that. We might need to send the cops to Jokes house because someone stole his computer.

christocolus3814d ago

@jokes

take it easy dude, i feel the guy is under so much pressure preparing for launch and all, he is bound to make some errors. but stuff like this should be thought about properly before going out to make announcments..i feel sorry for him though launching a console is insane and im sure the sony guys too are all prepping for launch..he should just avoid the media till launch...

amiga-man3814d ago

M$ and the word free don't make me laugh, stuff thats free everywhere else is stuck behind a M$ paywall,

M$ and greed is much more appropriate.

xHeavYx3814d ago

I said it before, Penello is another double agent, the first one being Mr Mattrick

Omegasyde3814d ago

Wow Jokesonyou attacking a MS employee instead of defending him?

DDDDIIIDDDD

HELLLLL

FREEEZZZZeeeee

OVER?!?!?!?!?!?! (bur... it's cold)

pyramidshead3814d ago

Another MS foot in mouth situation, Oh boy.

Maybe Microsoft just loves negative news that much, even their employees are creating it themselves.

FamilyGuy3814d ago

Wow, reminds me of Aaron Greenburgs older "Ryse is native 1080p" comment. Then the very next day back tracking. Now Penello's doing it.

Why so hard about checking if you're right before replying?

SonyAddict3813d ago

Wow did you just say something positive?.. Put the flags out!.

iamnsuperman3814d ago (Edited 3814d ago )

The one job you have to do in PR is to make positive news about your product. So saying one thing just for the total opposite thing to happen is making your job a lot hardier.

Rule number one. If your going to announce something make sure it is correct information

hawkeyejonjon3814d ago

Yeah every time he opens his mouth it is somehow wrong lol

Damn Albert Penello you are on a roll on being wrong

Sci0n3814d ago (Edited 3814d ago )

LOL ok im done trolling because they are trolling themselves this is just too easy im done!! LOL. The one thing I said to myself well that's nice xbox one has a great feature over the PS4 and it was a mistake and not true, wow im done.

Xsilver3814d ago

I Know rite when i saw the news yesterday i was like not too shabby MS and boom Panello messed up.

ELCUCO3814d ago

FragMnTagM3814d ago

I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.

gold_drake8h ago

u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?

Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.

he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.

hes just a humble guy rly.

shadowhaxor7h ago

I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.

Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.

Cacabunga2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I really liked Automata and cannot wait for Stellar Blade

isarai3h ago

I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤

H92h ago

Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank

Snookies122h ago

Same... Awful way to word that title's beginning.

Hereandthere2h ago

Thats because Sony had a heavy hand in funding and developing this game.

purple1011h ago

They sent in XDEV one of their traveling support studios to Korea to lend a hand if I’m not mistaken, Sony pulled out the big guns to help this studio

jwillj2k451m ago

(From the demo) Stellar has better direction in terms of stage layout if you like that ninja gaiden type feel. Nier is more polished by far.

Dragon Ball FighterZ's Rollback Update Was Too Little Too Late

Daniyal from eXputer: "Dragon Ball FighterZ was so close to a revival but ineffective communication and a dubious launch of an anticipated update botched that hope."
