Pre-Release Hype: How Much Is Too Much?

We’re all very excited for games such as Titanfall, Infamous: Second Son, and The Order: 1886. It’s very understandable that these titles are highly anticipated. All 3 look fantastic, and show the promise of their respective consoles. However, I am begging you gamers, BEGGING YOU, to slow down before you crash. I have witnessed this before, and it never ends well.

I'll say this much, it's a little ridiculous to me that months ago, people were going crazy over The Order: 1886 without knowing a single damn thing about it. Infamous has its fans and we all knew what to expect more or less so I can understand the hype for it in regards to its built in fanbase. Titanfall blew the doors off of E3 with its gameplay reveal trailer and again, I can understand the hype there because they came out, showed what they were offering and the gaming community sat up in full attention for it. I've been hearing people talking about The Order: 1886 for months now and I honestly don't understand what the fuss is over that game. Sure it looks nice and all but most of what I'm getting seems to be hype talk from the game's lead dev. If the game rocks, I'm all for it but the level of anticipation for this game makes me scratch my head. Even if it were an XB1 exclusive, I'm pretty sure I'd feel the same way.

TBH The Order was the game that prompted this. I feel its being built up so fast and it could backfire. Ready at Dawn has a good solid pedigree but this is new territory for them. I think we should make them show and prove before they get the benefit of the doubt.

Edsword4494d ago

Oh come on, Titanfall has been hyped way more than the Order. At least most the Order hype is coming from gamers not PR. Either way there is always a danger in over hyping.

GTAV was awesome, the online was a huge step backwards, and got dull very fast. I don't think many people complained the whole package sucked, just the online. The replayability dropped rapidly after collecting all the stuff, but it's a GTA game, it's still fun to get 5 stars are blow things up.

Hype can drop dead. Results are where its at.

BluP4494d ago

Titanfall = too much hype. If the game is good, people will buy it, it has more than enough publicity (too much imho). No need to waste money hyping it up. But if it's bad, people will be much less likely to trust Respawn (and EA, lol) in the future (look at how Fuse turned out). This goes for all games. Too much hype is always bad. Not enough publicity is bad too, though.

Also, a side note, I think Flappy Bird is an experiment to see if hype and talking about a (mobile) game will get people to buy it. That, or the NSA is involved. The game is selling for big money, making people want to keep it on their phone. Everything happens for a reason in this world, one should always ask "why".

Ra30304494d ago

Has there ever been a new IP hyped like Titanfall...ever? I can't think of one. I can't understand the hype but then most of it is coming from Microsoft paying for the hype IMO. This hype for this game is just way over done. We've seen all that Titanfall has to offer in many other games. We've seen mechs and jet packs before and at its core it's not a clone of Call of Duty it is Call of Duty. We've even seen AI bots in multiplayer settings. I hope it's a good game and the 360 version is playable because that's where I'd be playing it but I'm not gonna hold my breath on the 360 version being a good game. We all remember the after the Xbox 360 launch multi plat games with the original Xbox and how those were just a waste of money but we'll see.

I missed it when games use to have a multiplayer to them.
Hope Sony revives the game at one point

KyRo369d ago

Killzone, Resistance, Uncharted, TLOU, Motorstorm. Great times. Its a shame how far they've fallen this generation

Muigi369d ago

Oh they still do…its just the whole game now 😂.

-Foxtrot369d ago

Why add multiplayer when the single player (despite enjoying it for what it was) had flaws?

You'd work out the issues with how you craft the single player then once you’ve perfected it do multiplayer after.

"Two sequels were planned for the franchise, The Order 1891 and The Order 1899. While the third game was never in development, Weerasuriya says he had planned where the story of the franchise was planned to go, if he had been able to develop the full trilogy."
...
Alas, we'll also might never get the PC version of 1886, which is currently residing in some dev's hard drive, nearly ready for a release if required.

Charal369d ago

It’s a shame we didn’t gave its chance to this franchise.
Game world was very interesting, and gameplay could have evolved to a major hit with sequels.
Not even speaking about graphics that were way ahead of their time.

Reaper22_369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

If "we" is sony, i agree. I liked the game but it was metacritic that contributed to it's death. It's a shame.

AshleeEmerson369d ago

No, we are "us," the gamers who rated it so low on Metacritic, hurting... Killing its sales. I agree it is a shame. I loved this game.

Charal369d ago

No it is not, it is us has a community which crucified this game, which is happening much too often.

CrimsonWing69369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

I think MP being co-op would’ve been awesome. Essentially, I always viewed this as Sony’s take on the Gears series.

However, it really failed to measure up to what I expected. I definitely saw the potential but there were some things that really bogged it down for me like the forced slow walking segments (which I know was to hide loading), the repetitive warehouse werewolf fights, not enough variety in enemies, oddly we fought more humans than Darkstalkers, and the stealth sections were infuriating.

One thing there’s no denying though, this damn game was a looker. Such a shame at the wasted potential.
