anyhow say what you want, but you people are really really out there to think REACH will not only have a bigger FW than HALO 3.. but reach will outsell MGS4 LTD in just a week which is 5 million.. what game has done 5 million fw again? Only MWF2 maybe.. and MWF2 is FAR FAR bigger than REACH may be at launch based on hype alone |
You are confusing "hype advertising" with actual hype. The reason MW2 seems like had more hype is because every TV ad had quotes like "Game event of the generation!"... "Jawdropping...mesmerising"...all set to epic gameplay footage. The oldest trick in advertising, hype builds hype...
Halo Reach is taking a pure casuals aproach to their campaign. They know hardcore people will buy it. In the TV ad, they don't even show any gameplay footage, but are presenting it like a movie which is essential when trying to appeal to people who may not be too much in to videogames. Also they are doing lots of weird ad promotions like this - http://www.nextgenplayer.com/2010/08/halo-reach-sneak-peak-in-toronto.html
