not saying there's been 4 year waits, I'm saying since that E3 they've been showing games that aren't ready that year or the next or have suffered delays.

Games suffer delays. Plenty of companies do it. I’m under the mindset that one company shouldn’t be singled out for it. And this has been happening since home consoles launched.

correct, that's why i listed the publisher tied to some of the game i made an example of (I edited my post after you saw it i think). for me, i end up losing my hype because of the long waits. As a Sony and Nintendo fan, i experience less delays and "to early" reveals with nintendo than sony

Sony is pretty reliable about getting their announced games out within a few years, with obvious exceptions. If anyone deserves to be called out for early announcements, it should probably be Square Enix.

Probably? No, I think it's pretty safe to say SE has had a bad record with timely releases.

Just because MS does it do doesn't make it okay. MS and Sony, and also Square Enix, should stop announcing games before they're even started.

 

edit: I don't see people saying retro studios are "sitting on their asses" because they haven't revealed their game yet. And that's only one example.

You can add Nintendo, in the time of the WiiU the games got announced incredibly early. Xenoblade Chronicles X SMTxFE (which turned out to be Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE) and *drumroll* Zelda. This was infuriating.

And for Retro - people don't really say they are sitting on their asses, more speculating what they might do.

Well, yeah. This used to be a problem with nintendo, too. With the Switch however, they fixed it, almost everything is announced within a year. Except Zelda, that is.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

They can get feedback from the consumer early enough to actually change the game. If they unveiled a game months before release, and there was something the consumer did not like about it, it would be way too late to change.

So you are saying Days Gone will come out this E3 looking like a unique, fresh title instead of the generic zombie game they showed before.....whatever you say.

I love how Capcom dropped Monster Hunter World reveal at E3 2017 and it came out Early 2018. That was the best announcement because it wasn't too early just perfect.

As a genuine, non sarcastic question. What makes you look forward too the game. Games like Dying Light, Dead Rising, and State of Decay are unique in their own ways. I havent seen differentiating as of yet.

I think 2-3 years is fine for a hyped game.

1-2 years for a decent sequel.

Less than 1 year for guaranteed sellers.

In many cases guaranteed sellers ARE the hyped games...so what happens then?

For example, the recently annouced Smash bros is a hyped game, will be a another sequel, and a guaranteed seller all at the same time.....what then?
