Reggie Fils-Aime says that he doesn't see Disaster: Day of Crisis as a $50 game. He says the audio is horrendous. He says he is putting whether or not it will release in America based solely on how it sells in Europe. So basically, if it doesn't sell well in Europe, we'll never get it here.
What's funny is that people on the same level as Reggie commissioned Monolith to make the game because they wanted a new franchise.
