I've never been a fan of shadowy video game hype. Either tell me what it is and when to expect it or don't tell me anything at all.


No one's telling you anything.

lol, most people in this thread seem to love this type of marketing. I guess some people do like to be teased.

If it wasn't this it would just be a countdown clock on a website

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

I personally like this type of marketing. You guys are fuddy duddies...don't know what that is but Tara reid said it on Scrubs once so yeah!



Did anyone see Gametrailers TV? He (Geoff) interviewed the guy and he (The CEO of Moby DIck Studdios) shown pictures of the game, but one of the images has a Fox engine logo. His face was priceless when Geoff mention and asked about it.

More about the game at GDC, where Kojima will be.

If this turns out to be a MGS game than what's the point of all of this? If it turns out to be a new IP it will leave people disappointed that it's not a MGS game. If it turns out to be a great game I won't care which it is, but I'll still look back on all this nonsense and wonder what the point was.



Funny pic.

I'm not against fun, but let me ask you this. You're a Sony fan right? Well lets say a Sony fan, (not you, but another Sony fan), gets really excited about this Phantom Pain game based on the little we know about it. When the game finaly is revealed it turns out to be an exclusive Metal Gear game for the Wii U. Everyone expecting to play it may not get to and there are a lot of disapointed fans.

I doubt it's going to be exlcusive, but my reasons for not liking this type of marketing have to do with the way it hypes people up without any info. Since there's no info everyone expect amazing things.

I'd rather just be told that a dev is working on a new game and then later be shown a trailer or a demo and be giving it's title. The Phantom Pain is like a big prank and the punchline is almost certainly that it's a Metal Gear game. I'm not sure I understand why that's fun, but if you are having fun I'm happy for you. But I'm sure that if they just came out and told us the truth you'd be just as happy as I would.

Kain, lighten up! 

Kojima:

“I do think it’s important to leave hints, but, in a sense, I think it’s important to mislead people with hints because I think if something’s too predictable then it’s no longer fun,” he said.

She must have copied it from Relm in Final Fantasy VI.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

This was a meh interview, I seriously doubt that guy has anything to do with phantom pain. He only showed concept art + couple of pics I've seen before.
