Hype is totally different to advertising. Hype is sequel speculation, gossip and every single little detail months in advance.

 

^^^this. Reason why I don't prescribe to hype that much. Take LBP, I can some what understand the hype here cause Sony has ALOT riding on it, but it's gotten ridicious. Hyping the manual...Really? ...and now cause of this it's getting "anti-hype" blast same as the Conduit.

...I believe the hand-on and gameplay videos will come soon enough for Disaster, and thats fine by me. The game I think that had the right level of interest is De Blob...other then IGN wanting to have De Blob's baby it's been mildly buzzed about, but greatly the buzz has been it has potential to be a great game. Really thats all we need...don't need 9836375 threads about it...



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

Also I believe that Nintendo will advertise Disaster bout as much as they did Super Sluggers.

...Also too didn't Nintendo mention both Disaster, and Project H.A.M.M.E.R(On hold?) back in Oh' 6? I don't get where people are acting as if it all of a sudden materialized, if you have the interweb and interested in games for the Wii, umm you probably came across it >_>...

im looking foward to Disaster DOC more than the Conduit (though I'm very hyped for both,) hopefully Nintendo will be smart and advertise Disaster more.



hype can be goodfor sales as it rases awareness. conduit will sell more cos more people know about it

Hype is always good (red steel sales), but you have to live up the expectations. So I worry for Disaster which may be a better game than the conduit.

I think thats where the legs on Wii games come in.

Speaking of hype i believe the japanese video of Disaster leaked online today will burn through the internet in the next few weeks.

This will generate alot of hype, without doubt. Maybe thats why their delaying a US release anouncement. See how it plays out.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Speaking of the Disaster videos, they look good.

I am really curious/confused by Nintendo's attitude with this game but it gets us talking about it so maybe playing it (somewhat) low key could be a good tactic. Wait and see...



Elaine: I will never understand people

Jerry: They're the worst.

ok, somebody is thinking that conduit is being hyped? SERIOUSLY?!
killzone 2, LBP, GOW2, halo3, heavy rain, GTA4 and all the other ps360 games are hyped, but conduits "hype" is nowhere near those HYPE-O-MACHINES.
come on people ask about upcoming ps3 games and every single person you'll ask will talk about killzone 2, LBP and heavy rain.
ask the same about 360 games and you will hear about fable 2, GOW2 and GTA4 add-ons.
ask about wii games and probably 1 out of 10 people will tell about conduit, because other people don't even know about this game.
we are talking about game with no hype(Disaster) and game that even wii music can beat in HYPE-O-METER.
Smash Bros Brawl and Red Steel as a wii game had hype which was not even near Viva Pinata 2 or new Banjo-Kazooie HYPE not to mention HYPE-MONSTERS like gears of war 2 or killzone 2(even haze and lair had much bigger hype).



I agree with waron. I don't actually think that either of these games is being hyped too much. The Conduit is getting hype online through message boards and suc, but the developers are just releasing a steady flow of images, and videos to gain a reputation. Dead Rising Wii is getting more hype than the Conduit. But then again, I have to admit, I have no idea what Disaster DOC is. I've honestly never seen one screenshot from it or anything. Some hype is always good.
