Video Game General 4.0: You wanna enjoy your console? There's an app for that

Woah dude spoilers.

why would anyone do that? it’s not the same as being excited for a game you’ll eventually play. That’s fine to be excited/hyped to play a game even if it’s a ways off. If I’m bored enough, I’ll look at something I’m not excited for just to see what the hubbub is, but if I’m not interested in it, I’m not gonna look at it or best case, I’ll be late to it.

edit: sorta misread the question and expanded on answer.

Bious has out-gif’d me.

I can’t beat that.

BadMojo · May 17, 2016, 6:25am

I don’t even bother getting hyped for games I do plan on buying and playing nowadays. You can see my hype levels in the Overwatch thread with the zero posts I’ve written despite me having been in the beta and will be getting the game at launch.

Someone on the Gaf is hinting Sony may be topping last year’s conference.

Hecatom · May 17, 2016, 6:41am

We need more Izuku’s mom hentai if you ask me

KimuraLOX · May 17, 2016, 6:42am

Fixed. Finna have niggas waking up hella early for nothing

Bious · May 17, 2016, 6:45am

Someday I’m gonna find you, beat you with a copy of REDACTED, and then erase all your porn.

Akhos · May 17, 2016, 6:49am

That reminds me. Wonder if they’ll confirm at E3 that rumor that the new Zelda lets you choose between a Male or Female Link. Or the whole thing about the game being fully voice acted (aside from Link).

So many questions…

Sonichuman · May 17, 2016, 7:00am

Thank you for catching that. I goofed.

PVL_93_RU · May 17, 2016, 9:35pm

By the way, Square Enix going to have an E3 press-conference at all this year?

E3 is about a month away and they still haven’t announced any details or times regarding that, everybody else already did

Probably update this post later when the second update info stuff drops.

Chiro · May 18, 2016, 5:42am

looks like Fromsofts parent company is going to be joining us this time as well.

if you’re not familiar with their games the most notable thing seems to be that they make Dungeon RPGs and have an affinity for the Vita. apparently they have some pretty sick artist as well.

im curious to see what they’ll bring to the table for us westerners, hopefully considering their circumstances none if it will be Vita exclusive.

Sonichuman · May 18, 2016, 6:24am

Kinda weird…they’re holding a press conference but it’s in Tokyo. Whatever I suppose.

Added the Chat to the OP.

Davidstar · May 18, 2016, 10:52am

It’s not the only reason , but there was a huge backlash because of jiggalo missions. It was the major talking point for the game on release ,so yeah it had an quite the effect on it.

Chiro:

That they deserve? Killer Is Dead had zero advertising and Sunset Overdrive was announced alongside one of the most hated console of our generation.

If nobody is talking about your new IP then either you aren’t giving them anything to talk about or nobody cares. They deserve a platform to speak on and show off their game if they are unable to use it wisely then that’s their fault.

I remmeber nobody would stop talking about For Honour when it was announced, and nobody as stopped talking about No Man’s Sky. There was pretty much nobody talking about Horizon Zero Dawn, but that was because everyone saw that footage, said it looked great, but couldn’t tell if it was all CG and the developers released almost nothing afterwords for the longest time.

Yeah it’s probably unwise to release your interview the same day as a new FF7: Remake trailer, but what about the other 374 days?

But you’re just saying a game that deserved more didnt get it because they werent more political in the marketing.

Im not saying anything other than the few good new IPS that do come out always get swept under the rug. For whatever illegitimate reason.

But the same people that claim to hate COD make the midnight release just to engage in the hype. Its silly. Support good games.

they don’t deserve more unless they put in that extra work for good marketing. im not talking kissing babies i mean show what parts of your game you think are going to be unique and turn heads in the right direction. I understand its not that easy, but im just being realistic it HAS to be done. If you fail on that front why do you deserve it more than the guy who made a good game AND marketed it correctly.

then they probably shouldn’t have put it in if they wanted it to sell. oh well ether screw popular opinion, do want you want, and take a hit, or compromise and try to sell more.
