An IGN Mishap - False information?

360 News from N4G | Resident Evil 5

360 - Resident Evil 5 - An IGN Mishap - False information?

Gamer Limit writes: "IGN has reported the other day that Resident Evil 5's mercenaries mode is not playable online. Just yesterday, IGN posted their final review, claiming sentiments three times in the actual review such as "No Mercenaries online? Really?". While I could go on complaining about the lowered score because of it, the real issue is: how did they screw this up?

The online community has gone up and arms lately about it. Reviews have been a hot topic as of late; some reviewers are being called out for not finishing a sufficient portion of the game before finalizing a review. Others, like IGN, push false information before confirmation."

Well Capcom, you shouldnt have released the game in Japan yesterday.

Most of the game has been uploaded onto YouTube including the part of the infamous chapter in question which is banned for review. Now personally, we havent gone through the enitre video collection that has been uploaded, just Chapter 3.1 itself.

From the videos we have embedded, it has cut-scenes and gameplay.

Oh and we know you know this but we're gonna say it anyways.
