Trying to instigate another endless argument Miyamotoo? You should know well that there's no real way to truely know what the masses/mainsteam/general populace thinks, hence why any argument involving them will never go anywhere. While you're not necessarily right, you're not necessarily wrong either, thus it'll only result in an endless cycle.

No, my point is that claim that "Zelda U beyond the hardcore Nintendo fanbase, its existence is barely even acknowledged", isn't true at all.

A rhetorical question, I'm basically saying that's what will happen. Your stance "almost all gamers know" and curl's stance "most gamers don't know" both hinge on somehow knowing what everyone thinks, the perfect set-up for going in circles endlessly.

We'll agree, but I completely disagree with him.

But eh whatevers, although it would be nice not to have pages full of borderline spam, I guess I can just skim past the inevitable circle jerk like I normally do. :L

Obviously it's because the game is not ready to show.

It's not like they're 80% done and have loads of gameplay and demos to show off.


Even discounting the 13 seconds, they showed it twice already, with the last time being a year ago, and it's supposed to release a year from now after knowing it's been in development since 2012. Obviously they coulda showed more if they wanted.


I doubt it'll release in 2016. mid to late 2017 is when I think it'll release.

 

If it does however release in 2016, specifically early-mid 2016; then yes they would have had gameplay and fucked up by not showing.

Yep, still, why to not show it?


to keep people talking aabout the game.


There's nothing to talk about. People already talked the crap out of it last year.

Nope TP had less gameplay, most of it was from cutscenes. Don't seem to understand the mainstream do you, they follow the names of franchises not the media shown, only time they get bombarded is when the game is a new IP again Fallout 4 highlights this as well as showing you straight up that Uncharted's way of doing it is no longer required, look at the recent Tomb Raider despite all the media it was quite a luke warm release it had and it had a similar approach to what Uncharted had.

We've also seen the same amount of Zelda U as TP at this point, TP had two trailers and Zelda U has had a developer walkthrough and teasers, you don't seem to understand hype culture despite touting it do you. Zelda doesn't need a prolonged campaign for hype the name alone has it, one trailer at E3 and that's it, the 6 months until release are the most crucial time so why waste effort now when most of the hype can be generated then. Hype culture is about strategically released media not oversaturating people with media, this is why Bethesda didn't release anything about Fallout 4 until this year at E3, go figure.

Lmao, no and no.

Twilight Princess showed gameplay since it's first release. Fyrus was a boss showed since the very first trailer.

It's a joke to say that Zelda HD and Twilight Princess has comparable media coverage and info.

Mid any year is not even an option for Zelda, and since they took awhile to give it a new date after the delay, they must have been making sure if they can finish it in time, so it's a pretty safe bet now that Zelda U is 2016.

Are you still implying they might not have had anything to show, despite them already showing gameplay last year?

I dont know what country you are in, but Tomb Raider got barely any media coverage, it was overshadowed by Fallout 4, Star Wars and evnen BLOPS3 to a lesser extent. Which was his point. 

Another question, you said that Zelda was covered by social media, thats not really true. Facebook doesnt mean much because if you already follow Ninty stuff and have friends that do, of course you are going to see it. Twitter is a better indicator. FF7 reveal and it was the number 7 trending topic, Fallout 4 was even higher a couple of weeks ago. Same on instagram. Now thats media coverage. Never saw Zelda up there not once.

Tomb Raider got the type of coverage he's asking for, it was shown with gameplay every now and then and had hyped up by MS, it's funny you want to ignore the biggest social media platform in FB and when something trends on FB it's not when your friends post it on feeds it shows up on the feed on the side, Splatoon also achieved the same so if you didn't see it that's not my problem, Fallout 4 even proves my point in that it's not the amount of media coverage that matters it's the type of startegy employed.

How long did Zelda U get announced? last year? Fallout 4 didnt get an official annoucement until e3 THIS year. and from then it was non stop information with a full trailer until the release and even after. Now how you can compare that to Zelda U's 13 seconds after a year and a half is beyond me. but OK. 

As for Facebook no, it didnt pop up on my feed or anyone else's feed UNLESS they were already interested in the game to begin with, but you ignore Twitter which is a much better indicator cause they have the trending topics right there for you to see, guess which game never popped up? And Spatoon got WAY mroe coverage than Zelda are you kidding? thats one of the games that Ninty actually seemed to give a damn about.

Tomb Raider stopped getting hyped when they realized Fallout 4 was comign the same day and lets be real TR didnt get that much to begin with.
