Neither has a predecessor. Second, I've seen a commercial for both Gears J and God of War: Ascension, though the latter was promotional and not an actual ad. On the net, yes, but unlike the past, net hype makes a difference in 2013.
Now looking at the pre-order numbers, both are behind the last titles that released, Gears especially, but that can be attributed more to each title's status, not lack of "hype".

-_- You knew very well on what i meant by predecessors.
No internet hype is very small compared to the real world. Yes it helps but people who visit forums and gaming websites are in a big minority. It helps getting ads on youtube though since that is basically a form of telivision and your every day person will visit.
And yes Gears Judgement is way behind Gears 3 but relatively close to God of War Ascension and I'd say Gears Judgement actually will have a higher preorder rate than God of War Asencion by its final week.
Notice the weekly change

Gears should have a higher pre-order rate than God of War, it's the bigger franchise, but that's not my point. Hype is there, it's just not going to be in the same field as previous games because, again, these aren't sequels.

So you considerr both of them having less preorders than there predecessors (once again you know what I mean) a lot of hype. Halo 4 = a lot of hype. Gears of War 3 = a lot of hype. Gran Turismo 3 = A lot of hype. Metal Gear Solid 4 = A lot of hype.
These games are not gaining traction compared to the previous games in the series. I for one expect lower sales for both of these series. I find both of them to be highly unpredictable as far as sales but as for hype they both are below there predecessors yet there is more consoles out there now than when the previous installments was released.

For God of War, I've seen a substantial craze and hype for it, both net and real world, so yes. Gears, not as much, but I've still seen some. If you read the original quote carefully, he said NO hype. My argument is that there has been some, ads included.
