Always be suspicious of someone announcing a game at a press conference without any details, game footage, or even a logo.

It usually means either the game hasn't even entered the planning stages, the developers haven't even been told to make it yet, or that it's unlikely to happen and was merely announced to get an additional applause line at a press conference.

Didn't say never come to fruition.  Said hyped with no release date in site.  

Just look at say each of Sony's E3's and you can see that quite often games are shown with no release dates and more often than not the same game is shown the very next e3 with again no release date.

I'm tired of seeing people list reasons why you should get "x" console and that list including many games that are not yet released.  There have been too many games that have taken years longer than expected or after announcement that those lists are pointless.  How long did peopel have to wait for FF13?  How long did peole wait for GT5.  How long have people been waiting for the other games I listed above.  I'm just listing the top of the top hyped games.  There are others.

I mean... it's Rockstar North, and Sam Houser went on about how they'd wanted to make this game for so long and now they were finally able to do it, etc., etc. So while the pimping of non-existent exclusives can get pretty ridiculous, it's kind of hard to blame people for getting hyped for that one. It may, in fact, be this generation's finest piece of vaporware.

This is why you should never announce games before they've even started to be made.

Yea fans do that plenty for you already.  I mean look at Nintendo.  Without ever saying Zelda or Mario or even franchises that have been dead for 10+ years its fans still hype of the next upcoming game.  Nintendo has to do nothing.  It just sits on its info until its ready to be released that year or the soon enough to say what year it will come out at least.

I mean we know GTA5 was going to be made, we know GTA6 will be.  We know Gran Tourismo, we know FF15, we know ect.  There is no need to announce a game 5 years in advance.

I guess I'll just blame the PS3 for its lackluster start.  It needed to announce the kitchen sink in order to enitce consumers to buy the PS3.  My problem is that it seems to have continued that trend and is selling 'vaporware'

this is more like an update from the last post last yr.

I completely forgot about this.
