So is Motorstorm officially a flop?

[QUOTE="KoreanX"]Isn't Motorsotrm Hype AA?Buff-McBlumpkin

Kind of, kind of not. At first the fanboys were talking it up to be 9.0+, especially after the original trailer and hype for the game began, but then the Japanese reviews started coming down and people started talking it up to be 8.0+ instead.

The same thing happened with Lost Planet if I recall correctly.... and maybe a couple other titles I can't think of at the moment.

Heres the thread. Sorry if I seem like an a$$hole showing you this but there are lemmings all over this forum claiming Motorstorm was AAA hyped while it wasnt.

Oh, and this thread was created BEFORE the Japanese version even came out.

No, no it wasn't. The majority of those votes were AFTER the Japanese version came out and AFTER the early impressions and reviewsstarted rolling in.

Also, people had been playing the demo for the longest time (before November even.)

Motorstorm was originally hyped as a AAA title long, long before that thread was created and before the demo was released, later it was hyped as a AA title (Jesus, I feel like a Jackass for using these terms,) just like Lost Planet was. Get over it.

Maybe you need to reread my post?

I mean 1up gave it a 7.5, YUCK. I guess we should wait for GS review first.POJO_MOFO

Motorstorm had similar hype like lost planet. It was first hyped AAA, and later when they heard the features of the game it was hyped AA.nextgengaming18

Exactly.

The 9.0+ talk came long before even the demo was released.... especially before that "official" thread that was quoted above was created (in December of 2K6... after people had been playing the demo and seeing the actual game for over a month.)

The original hype was based mostly off of the original, incredible looking trailer and the hype that followed it. Of course, people will rewrite history.....

The same thing happened with Lost Planet. After it didn't score 9.0+ Sony fanboys kept rambling on about it "flopping," Microsoft fanboys said "But we didn't hype it 9.0+" (which was partially true, the majority at the time of release weren't saying it would be 9.0+, however months and months earlier they were saying exactly that.) When Motorstorm is released and doesn't score 9.0+ Microsoft fanboys will ramble on about how it "flopped," Sony fanboys will say "But we didn't hype it 9.0+." Any sensible person can see where this is going. Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

Honestly though, who cares? None of it matters.

I think the game looks really fun. Am I going to buy a PS3 for it........no....

The hype after 05 E3 was 10+ ...Now I believe it was low AAA, high AA.

Dam, this game deserves higher, much like Crackdown.
