Forums - Gaming - Too Much Hype?

Yeah it's crazy. A company can easily "win" E3 on hype alone, without having to actually release anything. Just crazy.

There is no "official" statement of who won e3. Everyone will have different opinions. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Does anyone else here thine should get game abnouncemts no longer than 6-8 months before launch?

It wouldn't work. Too many people are speculating about the new project of developer X after the release of game Y.

Too many people work on the new project who can spill the beans.

Nothing is going to change though. Forum video gamers demand hype so they can make console war lists and have electronic gasms. 

- Only 38% of the games spoken about during the E3 2015 press conferences have actually been released.

- Of that 38% of games released, 33% weren’t released until 2016.

- Sony is the worst performer, with only one game released from its E3 2015 press conference in that calendar year – a small indie from Devolver Digital called Ronin.

- Sony also has the worst record for releasing games announced at its conference in the 12-months leading to the next E3, at only 23%

- EA and Nintendo are the most likely to release a game they showcase before the next E3, with 92% and 93% of their titles available respectively.

- Nintendo also released 83% of those games before Christmas 2015, which is the quickest turnaround by far.

- Sony and Microsoft did not release a single one of their newly announced titles from the last E3 in the 12-months since the event.

- Year-on-year, we are seeing a rise in games not being released following an E3 showcase. Our analysis shows 50% of Sony’s, and 60% of Microsoft’s E3 2014 press conferences did not see a release prior to E3 2015. These have increased to 77% and 63% respectively for this 12-month period.

Good on EA and Nintendo. I fear this trend may change one day however. I hope not.

Nah i disagree, i dont really care about that. I mean its nice sometimes to have something like Fallout 4 but honestly i dont really care about it, as long the Game can get into my hands the same Generation and not when PS5/XTwo is already out or something like that^^

Yes, sometimes. It's like 'Just give me the game already!'

But remember it's just advertising. Buy this game, or this system, or etc. Get hooked on the idea, and more people will buy this game. (Well, I think that's the thinking.)

But at least they eventually come out. I got more annoyed with movies that do that 'limited release' then when I can finally see it, it's been ruined by too many commercials. And now I can't stand to hear anything about it.

But it's also a test to see the the public is interested in a game. It's a 'guys, we are working on this, would you buy?' kind of thing.

So yes, but I can see why they do it.

PS Persionally, I really excietd to see an update on Cup Head, and how alsome it's going to be in 2199 when it finally comes out on the Xbox 1^1^10 or what ever it will be called.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!
