Most of the big releases coming later this year - Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears 2

Games are getting judged more like movies - if they don't take X million in the first week they are deemed a failure. They can't wait for word of mouth to spread and generate sales, so they pump masses into the advertising machine and hope it pays off.

You can't really tell whether somethings over-hyped or not until the final product is out. I agree that, based off of the demo, Too Human is over-hyped, but I guess we'll see.

i agree with u about too human

far cry 2 is hyped up a fair bit and i think its gonna be effing awsome tho

rattaz


I was actually thinking the opposite on that one.
Far Cry 2 is underhyped, and games like Gears 2, Fallout 3, and Fable 2
are the ones that have a lot of hype.
Far Cry is gonna be a really good game though especially with the new and improved forge.

And how did what I said deny anybody of asking for, or expressing their opinions? I merely said it's impossible to tell what game is over-hyped prior to its release because you don't know if it will live up to the hype or not. If the question was "What game is hyped?" Then anything goes, but to be "over-hyped," a game has to be below expectations.

Too Human for me...I never seen one game play video about the game and it wasn't appealing to me. Didn't download the demo or anything. I think its gonna be way too over-hyped like Alone in the Dark.

Even though if it does suxk, it will sell alot on its first day when most of the fans think its good :P and in less then a week regret about it :P

None really. Hype has no bearing on the quality of a game. Can you really blame developer/publisher for trying to get people to buy their game?

I dont thin hype as the marketing of a product, I think the therm appeal for us the users, as we create expectations on the game, they can sell you Gear of War even in the toilet but they will never tell you is the best game you will ever play, you just create that illusion so hype is made by us o this kind of media, its not bad, but it sucks that i 3 months from now everything will be ...this game is over hyped, ot hat game is, you know so mind yourself if you are hyped for a game dont blame the game balme yourself and wich game is receivng hype from us? gears of war 2 and fallout 3 more than any other if they will be the thing I dont know, and as someone pointed I also see farcry as an underhyped game

I didnt even have to open this thread to know it was posted by a Too Human hater... then I opened it and... sure enough. I cant understand why this game provokes so much hatred. If you dont like it, fine, it's just hilarious that the ones who dont like Too Human feel an overwhelming urge to tell the world!

They're probably the same ppl that cry "Veto, veto, veto veto......." non stop in Halo.... like ppl will veto because you tell them to.

I definately agree with everyone who thinks too human is over rated but i would also suggest star wars the force unleashed as the shots and videos don't look that special but i will be open minded until i have played it.

P.S: I can't believe that Gears of War 2 is cropping up under this topic!!!

Right.
That's why it's been almost 2 years since it's release and people still play it today.
It set the bar for most games and even inspired others.
Whenever I play any game now, I usually don't enjoy it because it was never as good as Gears.
Gears of War 2 will be one of the best games made in the History of gaming.
Bigger than Halo.

That's pretty stupid to let one game jade your view on other games. And sorry, Gears 2 will NOT be one of the best games made in history as, like previously stated, the first Gears wasn't even that great. The only thing it had going for it was being the first game to use the Unreal 3 engine (which is already played out and wack now). The story was damn near non-existant, it was repetitive, and it was way too short. Why do people put Gears up on this pedestal when there are many games that destroy it?

i would say most of the hugely hyped games i.e. fable 2, fallout 3, gears 2... all deserve the hyep and are therefore not "overly" hyped. too human doesnt look great to me but lots of people seem to be pretty stoked on it. i htink left 4 dead is goign to be my favourite game of the year and isnt getting enough hype :P

I agree for the most part. There will always be fans who enjoy it, but I never thought it was all that great. Oh, and as far as people playing a game that came out years ago, GOW is not alone in this by any means. People still play Halo 2 and I even got into some games in COD2 a few weeks back and look at how long people have been playing Counter Strike and Half-Life 2. I do think GOW got a lot of attention just because there was not a lot of competition when it was released and it had good graphics, but I think it is still being overhyped today.

The Force Unleashed is receiving much less attention than I expected, and I do think Too Human is over-hyped. I was pretty stoked about that game up until about six months ago, and now I am sick of hearing about it.

I dont judge other games on a Gears of War scale so I agree it is dumb to do that, but when did you see a 3rd person shooter with a cover system that did it quite perfectly before Gears came out. Lots of people still play, the Unreal Engine wasnt its only good feature, the story was short, and it seems to get better in Gears 2. I accept peoples opinions but some of the things you stated just arent true.

all the games that are getting alot of hype to me look like they deserve it, but then again i havent played them =/.

id say brothers in arms is under-hyped, but that might be because everyone copies opinions about how bored they are of WWII games.

i dont think too human is over hyped but i dont think it will be that great either far cry 2, mercenaries 2, maybe even star wars seem under hyped GEOW2, fallout 3 are hyped as i think they will be good and fable 2 amongst all the hype dont seem that great, looks a bit bland and naff but thats my opinion and i havent played it yet so dont take offence

Fallout. Seems I'm one of the few people who actually think the actual in game videos released of it so far look like sh*t. After the e3 demo I canceled my preorder.

I didn't find Fallout to be appealing either... hell, as a SERIES I don't see the appeal. Fallout 1 and 2 were incredibly boring.
