I'm hyped for Chystal Bearers not only because I'm a fan of the series, but because the trailer(not all CG, there was a few seconds of gameplay) showed that it isn't low budget like the other two were. Now if I liked a game that was pretty much a side note and low budget, I would probably like a game with a much higher budget and what seems to be alot more work put into it. From what we saw of the gameplay, which was very little, the battle system looks much much much faster paced than that of Crystal Chronicles. The game also is said to be a single player focused game opposed to the multilayer focus of the other two games, which I prefer. Basically I think the hype is produced in a similar manner that the hype for the XIII games. The game just expresses a high budget and flashy visuals to produce most of the hype. I personally am hyped because of a mixture of me liking the previous games, and the trailer appealing to me as a game that will probably be good. I do think that there will be more reasons to justify the hype when we are closer to release though. As for now we know very very little about the game. |
Ok. In a way you explained it perfectly and then raised many more questions. I guess it's just the Wii fans getting stuck in the same hype mentality fans of the other two console have, which is hyping the CG. I guess I just feel that a lot of GC gamers would have this in their top 20 or 30 just like you but are hyping the new one like a top 10 release.
This may stem from my own standings on hype though. I'm typically someone that waits for in-game pics, hands-on reports, developer interviews and gameplay videos before I get behind the hype of a game, unless it's the sequel to something I have played, and then I'll give the early hype at the same level of interest I have in the original, meaning a top 20 game will get top 20 hype until the developers start opening the floodgates with info.
I hope you at least partially understand where I'm coming from that this game is getting what seems to be an unusual amount of hype for something with so little info and with such a second tier status in gaming terms.
