| bigjon said: I remember several people on this site hyping Folklore (yes it was not many but some). People may not have said Haze would kill Halo, but they looked at it as Sony's answer to Halo and hyped it alot as a potential system seller. 06-08 were not good years for the PS3 no matter how you spin it, yes there were a few good games but they were few and far between, by the end of 08 things were getting better. I loved my PS3, so I am not a fanboy trying to bash Sony, I am just recalling how desperate sony fanboys were for the "savior" against the Wii and then 360. |
Haze was hyped because it was developed by the same people who did time splitters. However, that was when it was first announced (as multiplat) then it got reinvigorated with exclusive announcement. But as it suffered delay and previews started trickling in hype drastically died and it was obvious the game would be crap. If you need a refresher of the exact type of treatment Haze had then just think of Fuse. Announced. Looked cool. Made by insomniac. Hyped. Name change and direction change. Started looking generic. Delayed. Hype died. Launch. Bomba
