From Gamerlimit.com,
Don't get me wrong, when I see an amazing gameplay video or hear about a sequel to one of my favourite games I tend to salivate, Pavlov's dog style, at the mere thought of being able to experience a triple A title.
However I am also aware, that even with the most tried and tested formulas there is room for something to go wrong. So while it's ok to get a little excited, be careful that you don't find yourself on board the hype train.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
I completely agree with this article. Sometimes it's just so hard not to get caught up in all the buzz surrounding new games.
And then when they turn out to be terrible everyone acts all suprised
Whats the problem with hype?
Hype is Hype. You either fall for it or you dont. either way its up to you to decide how involved you want to be in it.
personaly, I like hyping games that im interested in. ive been doing it for years and im not gonna relax just because the gamerlimit wants to be the first to make a statement that we all have already talked about while they ponder what were interested in to give thier site a hit.
On board the hype train? be careful?
Screw that! I say all aboard my LOCO-MOTION CHOO CHOO !
