Well I'm glad people agree with me. If someone can come by and explain why this game will be amazing, I'd love to hear it. Right now all I know is that it's made by a historically terrible developer, it has no publisher, and it's outdated by almost all standards.

I would greatly love to understand the hype because right now it drives me crazy.

OkeyDokey: This is why I love you. I'm so glad that there are people who are really looking at this game from a non-worship standpoint. There are so many hypocritical fanboys surrounding this game, it drives me insane!

 

 I believe the reasons are as follows:

1) After E3, many Wii owners have a feel that they have no line-up at all.

2) Wii fans want more 3rd party support. Thus they hype any game that look better than the average 3rd party game.

3) They follow the stream. IGN said lots of great things about it, people became hyped, suddenly it was the Wiis new 3rd party game. Therefore it just got more and more hype as time went on.

4) The earlier screenshots were touched up to make it look better. Now people only remember those screens, and believe that the current ones look just as well.

5) It doesn't star a dog as the main character.

 

And Shmup, look at Twilight Princess - a last generation Gamecube game. It looks just as good at this. Equal textures, but far better character designs.

How can you praise the game without seeing it in motion? Slight above average pictures doesn't mean it's unattackable.

IGN spoke of the game long before it became hyped by so many. As they barely had seen anything from the gameplay, just an graphics engine demo they couldn't say much about it but that it was coming and they were hoping it was good.

 

For you last comment. What?
