*White Knight Chronicles *Socom Confrontation
The problem with using this system to judge hype/anticipation is that some titles have much less content released (trailers/clips etc.) then others. So it's logical that those particular titles will recieve less views overall. God Of War III for example has only a few trailers released, yet it's already at no.7. Which would indicate it's overall views will, more then likely, be utterly huge post release. Yet if you look at my list above, one could easily make the assumption that Socom Confrontation is the bigger/more hyped game. In the case of Banjo on your list, I would imagine that with more trailers arriving closer to launch, it will see a significant rise in total views. In order to get a more in-depth understanding of how much the online community (In GT's case) are responding to the titles, one would have to number the amount of trailers released, get the average amount of views per trailer, get an average of the score, then post the results. |
Theres no direct link between the quantity of trailers and the number of views. Its more the quality of the trailer itself and the hype surrounding the game that moves people to watch them. Most people are will not see more than a few different trailers anyway.
Because im dealing with titles to be released within a the next 4 months its not so much an issue having hyped up 2009 releases being compared with games releaed in 2008 because naturally the number of views rise as a game nears its release date.
This was never intended as a serious point of comparison, just something fun and interesting to kick round the forum while we wait for the sales numbers/games to come out.
Tease.
