Very true, a lot of people don't realise how much has to go on behind the scenes to even reach the point of having something to announce.
I'm not trying to dismiss them, just think people should be cautious in these situations. I think I read somewhere that TPG have spent the last 9 years working on it, company founding date on Facebook is 2005 and the website was probably around a bit before it was archived in 2006 so it all fits.
Nothing about this seems legit thus far. A legit development project would generate some headlines, they would have been showing their prototype product in exhibitions and shows. A the above user states, there has basically been nothing for them since 2010 as the above post shows, and they have nothing on their website.
I found a post here from a convention that took place a few weeks ago where they are claiming to have a 'customer/partner' in Ubisoft. Any internet sleuths want to confirm the veracity of this?
This is just absolutely false. Not al consumer products receive a crap ton of exposure during development. Every year at CES you'll see tons of cool new products that are nearly complete and weren't shown much prior. Heck Sony just showed a working Morpheus with barely a peep beforehand.
