Here's Demis hyping up the AI (plus ca change...) to IGN: http://m.ca.ign.com/articles/2001/05/17/republic-the-revolut... Compare these claims to the game as reviewed when it finally shipped some 2 years later. It probably did do some reasonably clever and even innovative things but it never really lived up to the hype. He's a smart guy but his real genius appears to be drumming up breathless and relatively unskeptical media coverage, something else he probably learned from Peter Molyneux who also made a career out of some genuinely innovative games that nonetheless rarely quite lived up to the extravagant claims made about them years before they shipped. |
