Why isn't there crazy hype for MGS5?

Or maybe I haven't been here enough lately and I'm just missing the hype that happens around newly released videos and gameplay segments. I don't know what I'm missing but I looked around at some old Ground Zeroes thread and it seems that game left a bad taste in peoples mouths...idk how. I just got a ps4 and that was the second game I bought for it. Went in completely blank with no hype and it blew away my expectations.

IMO this game has absolutely perfect MGS gameplay, everything felt as if it should feel, as you want it to feel. No longer is aiming clunky and annoying like I went in expecting. Instead I got buttery smooth controls, helped by the 60fps running speed. Now when you get spotted shooting your way out is actually fun and feels like a shooter. Also the stealth is much improved with more natural movements for snake. The best thing I noticed is how intuitive cover is, he leans into cover on his own now you don't need to press any buttons to make him stick or hold up on along walls.

I think the thing this new direction for MGS is doing the best for me is that it feels like its going to be a third person Crysis. By that I mean the open, attack a base how you choose, be creative. Games like this you get out of them what you put into them. So with every new gameplay video I see I get more hyped as all I'm seeing is ridiculously good gameplay in them. Aside from the fulton sky hook thing, kind of lame how no one notices it when guys are hooked into the air yelling 5 feet from a guard, I'm going to see if I can make the whole game without using that, hope it isn't absolutely necessary to gameplay.

because no one knows when the game is coming out

Because its for 2018

It's not exclusive.

Thought it was almost surely this coming year 2015? Whats everyone else thinking?

there is crazy hype, is just the release date is still very far

Maybe Holiday 2015. Not likely. Nothing firm has been announced so...it's going to be awhile.

no release date yet, seems like it's coming out end of next year or early 2016

I think Ground Zeroes killed the hype for it. People already know what to expect, and everyone is holding off judgement till they see the final product

Maybe, but its like a new gameplay video is coming every couple months. It looks really solid. They aren't showing off brief teasers. I'd think sometime next year is very likely. If not then probably before the second half of 2016...that is kind of long away when I think about it.

This. This changes so much it's ridiculous.

This is what I got at if you read my first post, kind of long winded sorry but this is what I don't get. If anything playing GZ amped me up way more for MGS5 and it was already my most anticipated game before buying a PS4. The game felt like MGS should've felt last gen. MGS4 is great and all but this game just finally feels "correct" and I mainly mean the combat.

It's certainly not going to be any Captain Toad.

I thought there is hype.

Paid demo turned me off

After GZ, the general enthusiasm is tempered.

I'm stoked though.

Right on bros.

If this were a PS4 exclusive, it would have been hyped non-stop every day for the past year and a half.

Even without a shred of gameplay footage, cows managed to keep the MGS4 hype train going for almost two years. We have waaayyy more info on MGSV at this point than MGS4 ever had before launch, yet nobody talks about it.

To be honest, I like it this way. MGS4 brought out all these fake ass fans, people that didn't even play MGS, but acted like they were into it just because it was a PS3 exclusive. Now at least when people discuss MGSV here, they're legitimately interested in the game.

The reason they released that $30 demo is because they are nowhere near completion or even giving a date of which they believe they might be getting close to completion... better know as an ETA.

This

It's now on PC. PC games don't get much hype.

Because its a multiplat, nobody hypes multiplats here because it doesnt make for good ammunition.

I'm hyped for MGSV.

It's just that I still haven't beaten Peace Walker and after playing it for 30 minutes I don't feel like playing it again. The glorified paid demo that is Phantom Pain (edit: I mean, Ground Zeroes!) kind of left a bad taste in my mouth too.

I think it's mostly assumed at this point that it'll be GOTY 2015 and thus there's not much more to be said about it

Because people have played MGS4

Captain Toad gets all the hype.

Because its Multiplatform.

Just look at the way Cows Hyped the hell out of The Order... Haha !

Its too far off

Hype is over rated.

If most of this gen is anything to go on it will be a buggy mess.

@HitmanActual

Japanese Studios (with Japanese Publishers) don't release as many buggy games as Western Studios do, I don't know why that is...

Although to be fair I don't play alot of Japanese games, so I could be wrong.

How many current gen Games have come of Japan anyway ?

The Evil Within ?

I didnt see any bugs on the GZ demo.

MGSVPP is going to be the best MGS ever. Sadly today people are too busy on mindless games like Destiny and COD. I remember a time when MGS hype was crazy... and games were awesome.. good old PS1 and PS2 days. Now evil within is bad game because its too hard and for some weird reason a videogame needs a good story to be fun... the fk...? Sad times for gaming. Only japanese games have any hope left.

probably because it's not a Sony exclusive

Because hype ruins shit. I'd much rather a game surprise me and be fantastic when I never expected much from it instead of thinking it'll be the bestest game evar!! and be super disappointed in it.

Agreed .

I think there's plenty of hype. In fact, I'd call the hype NUCLEAAAARRRRRR!!!!

I imagine once we get a solid release date and the game goes gold, there will be some hype.

Everyone is hyped, among all the great games being released next year, it is openly said to be one of the top picks for GOTY.

With no new info and no release date you can only hype so much!

Because it is no longer exclusive to Sony...

Ground Zeroes if anything got me more excited, the mechanics in that game are fucking excellent. Plus all the demos with all the crazy options at your disposal, the gameplay looks Kojima proof.

niche

Because LOL stealth games.

I just hope they release a Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain bundle.

I'd say because MGS hasn't been good since the PS2 days. with that said, i like the order so far and will buy. the bloodborne hype is what cracks me up. that game looks dumb, but then again the souls series is dumb too IMO. opinions are funny like that huh?

It's a bit confusing, but Kojima did say that Camp Omega (where all of Ground Zeroes takes place) will be in The Phantom Pain... then he went on to say that Ground Zeroes owners will get something "special" that has to do with that map.

Who knows. It would be odd to have that area in the game and not have the actual prologue mission included though.

@darkangel115

What ? ! Bloodborne looks awesome to me....

But then again so did Dark Souls, and its ruined by crap you rarely see.... Stats, theres a good chance Bloodborne will be no different but one must hold out hope that they can make a truly challenging game.

As for The Order, I don't think either of us are going to budge on that one.

Completely agree. Especially about the fake fans. I HATED MGS fanboys back then. Now it's not exclusive, suddenly the asshole fans are gone, go figure. A similar thing happened with Final Fantasy when that was exclusive. Because those fans used to be assholes too.
