Remember the screen shots of the X-Factor game from last week? Pretty disappointing as there was no sign of digital Simon Cowell and now we know why. He’s not in the game and neither are Louis, Cheryl or Dannii. Instead the title will include new digital judges. A spokeswoman for developers Deep Silver said,
“Although we do not want to talk too much about why, we can confirm Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and the other TV X Factor judges will not be appearing in the official game”.
Now I may be being a bit thick here but I always thought the X-Factor is about the judges as much as it is the singers, get rid of Cowell and Co. and you lose a lot of the show’s character and appeal.
The game will be released on December 12th and may offer ‘future online installments’ (a.k.a. DLC).

i always thought xfactor was about laughing at the terrible auditions.
or do people actually keep watching once they’re over?

Ohh noo! That…is of great importance to me. I cant wait for this game. Good God, I cringe just typing it.

Pretty stupid imo to not include the judges. I would rather have the judges in there and spend more money on the development and stay out of the bargin bin for a month or two than spend less money by not having the judges in there and go straight to the bargin bin.

it wont sell. people will feel like mugs if they buy it. they know if they do buy it, they are buying if for the name knowing that the developers are selling it for its name and not throwing the full package.. dear dear.
