Looking at internet forums, YouTube and just the general internet, one can easily see that numerous gamers are hyped up for certain new IP's such as Yooka-Laylee and Splatoon and even sequels such as Uncharted 4. The former ( Yooka and Laylie ) in fact has raised over 1,000,000 British pounds on kick starter while the latter ( Uncharted 4 ) has all it's hype surrounding an E3 trailer which shows it running at 60fps yet the developers so far have only gotten it running at 37fps.
Now the question is why are gamers so hyped up for these games and new IP's in general? So far apart from the developers and the game's PR team putting these games in a positive light ( and at the end of the day it's their job to do so ) and some gameplay footage these games and new IP's have still not delivered enough to obtain the hype they have achieved.
It's not the first time that gamers have been disappointed when a new IP fails to deliver. An excellant recent example is The Order 1886 which not only failed to deliver on the hype but at the end of the day it was a generally perceived as mediecore. Therefore why do gamers still hype up new IP's even though we've already had a taste, numerous times of disappointment when these new IP's fail to deliver? Is it maybe because gamers at the end of the day are hyped up by very easily?
