Splatoon is no where near games like The Division in scale, depth or ambition, yet the amount of excitment (mostly on this forum) is surprising for a game like Spatloon. is it just because its a TPS from nintnedo? honestly it doesnt seem like all that, it seems more of a PSN/Eshop/XBL type of game, not that there is anything wrong with that.
if this game was an XB1 or PS4 game it would have been vastly overshowded by other bigger and more interesting games. at least thats my opinion. |
Hype is interest. And naturally things that differ more from the usual get more interest. Splatoon differs more from usual games than Destiny. Additionally it looks like fun, looks like it has decent quality. I assume, if made right people could clock in way more playtime with Splatoon, than with Destiny and will have fun all the time. So the hype isn't completely unjustified.
And yes, a shooter from Nintendo-platform adds to the hype (although it's not the first one), as this sparks additional interest. Also the competition on WiiU isn't the same as on the other consoles, so the game stands out more.
But in the end hype/interest is one thing. People mostly express interest for new and different stuff, but prefer to buy the same old same old mostly. That's why I expect Destiny to sell better than Splatoon in the end.
