The Gaming Hype

[The_Toe_Bighter98]

So which game currently has you in its vice like grip which it soon wont let go? Which game currently has your utmost attention?

Mine would have to be Darkfall, a MMORPG. Who wouldnt want to play a game which blends Oblivion with Ultima Online?

So whats yours?

Tom Clancys Endwar because of the Voice Command. I don't really fall for hype though.

Right now its Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2, don't know why but for a game where you have a 100 odd characters that have the same moves (Which I might add no one complained about in Mortal Kombat 2) its very addictive

MGS4. I'm patient enough right now, but after seeing a few more gameplay footage, i'm just all tensed up.

I fail to see in some ways what this thread has to do with hype. Hype is the artificial inflation of worth in a product... if a game has sucked me in and won't let go, isn't that a sign that it's doing its job, and therefore not artificially inflated to that extent?

Semantics aside, the most recent game I played that refused to let go was Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Personally I'm going to wave my arms and shout "Lookit me, I'm a deviant!" And go with Age of Conan. The MMO. I'm so ashamed...

 

[Melaisis]

Another Darkfall man. Hype never does anything for me at all and usually only causes me to be even more disappointed. The last game I thoroughly enjoyed following reading about a hundred write-ups on it must have been Freelancer, or Age of Mythology. Good thymes. Ironic that vapourware with absolutely no coverage gets me going again, mind.

halo 3 ...lol i got my 360 for christmas and its the only game i got for it

He's asking for what games you are looking forward to that are coming out soon.

I don't have hype for any game out there, except for Episode 3, and Valve hasn't released anything on that yet.

Also, ffxfriek, don't start or end a sentence with "lol". It just look unprofessional.

 

[scoHish]

Nothin now...but as of a few months ago it was SSBB all the way.

 

[Frapple]

The fact that Darkfall is under suspicion for not even existing, or having any employee working on it does not fill me with confidence.

GTA IV has me hyped at the moment, gonna be sweeeet.

 

[Tanthalos]

Alan Wake for myself.

After watching their tech demos and the trailers I find myself going into EB at least once a month seeing if it has finally made it to the Release Date list.

Then I die a little inside when yet again it is not there.

 

[Kermi]

I wasn't hyped for anything, but I've very suddenly become very interested in GTAIV. Other games are in the distance, Gears of War 2 and uke Nukem Forever and whatnot. Expect more excitement from me towards the end of this year.

 

[ThaBenMan]

The Force Unleashed, and even though there isn't anything out on it yet really, Mass Effect 2.

 

[Bodb]

Three way tie between Resident Evil 5, Silent Hill 5 and Alone in the Dark. Guess what my favorite genre is.

MGS4. I'm patient enough right now, but after seeing a few more gameplay footage, i'm just all tensed up.

YES

 

[The_Toe_Bighter98]

Metal Gear Solid 4. I have had a constant stream of semen down my leg since the April fools video. I can not wait.

I'm guessing I'm one of the only people in all of civilisation not twitching with excitement at the prospect of MGS4, yes?

You would be wrong, as I dont much relish the prospect of playing as an old man. =P

Take that Metal Gear fans!

But yes, there is vaporware speculations about Darkfall. It may even be the Duke Nukem Forever MMO, but dammit just reading about that game is exciting enough. Just imagine the ability to hide, and not being a damn rogue. My mouth is salivating already...

 

[ReepNeep]

Assertion: Stalker: Clear Sky is what has my utmost attention. The Russian meatbags appear to be about to deliver on the promise of the first game.

Addendum: With starcraft 2 looking like nothing more than a ten year old game with modern graphics, it can suck my sprockets. Dawn of War 2 is much more pleasing with it's 40k-gone-Company of Heroes setup.

 

[stompy]

I'm pretty hyped 'bout Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, but then, at least in my opinion, as long as they don't cock up the game mechanics too much, then it'll great. Oh, and they keep the historical accuracy. Can't forget that.
