Forums - Sony Discussion - is mgs4 getting more hyped than halo 3 was?

MGS 4, the average gamer on the street has never heard of it unlike Halo 3.

honestyl i've never even heard of the MGS series until MGS4 and that's only on forums

It will never be possible to outhype Halo. Why? Because the gaming community UNIFORMLY says this game is "solid" at best, while the multiplayer is fun, yet it gets 10s, and sells bajillions. Don't forget to factor in Mountain Dew, Nascar, millions worth in commercials, etc. MGS4 won't sells million on hype, it will sell on the greatness of the game, much like how Kingdom Hearts was a sleeper hit that sold out of nowhere for such an unlikely mix up

No. Outide of these forums I really don't hear much about MGS4. Unlike Halo3... where several people I know couldn't shut up about it.

I haven't even heard of this MGS4 world tour thing your talking about.

I have exactly the same experience as you. So my answer to the original question is also no.


 Honestly though GTA4 had more hype then Halo 3.... as far as the people around me were talking.  People i didn't even know owned videogame systems were talking about that.

Cause when I think sleeper hit I think Disney and Final Fantasy.

So am I imaginging that Kingdom Hearts TV commercial that was burned in my head because it seemed to play every commercial break?

Seriously, this thing played so much I know the damn song word for word.

I somehow don't think MGS4 will be absent on the airwaves either.

Either way it's not going to top that "Master Cheif Banks Here.  Go Earth!" thing.

WTF?



the day when solid snake will be on condoms will mean that MGS4s hype is better than HALOs.



Halo 3 was too big that even people that didn't like Halo at all had to buy it.




let me check....HELL NO

i doubt there will be a game ever to reach that level...well untill Halo4



 

Are we talking NA hype or global? Because it won't top Halo 3 hype in NA but it will globally. I'm sure it has already defeated the Halo hype in Japan with it's 1st trailer. I think most of you are comparing the NA hype though. Let's see:

1. Both have their own themed console.
2. Both have special editions that contain mini movies to fill newcomers in on the story.
3. Both are/were expected to be the biggest game released for their respective console.
4. Both have movies supposedly in the works.
