I haven’t played anything in the series in probably over a decade and am well aware I’m asking a userbase who prob isn’t easily hyped by these things but even outside of that I hear the hype always talked about in third person (“it’ll sell so well”, “hype is enormous”) rather than first person (“I can’t wait to get it”, “I’m so excited!”)
I’m not claiming it’s all manufactured hype or predicting a flop here, just wondering if the wait becoming a meme has kicked off an undue expectation so I guess the question is do you know anybody who is or are willing to admit to a genuine excitement?
The series in question didn’t really disappoint me since it started almost 30 years ago. When it moved to 3D it was pretty mindblowing - a lot of games stumbled when they attempted that, but this series was better than ever.
And the upcoming game is returning to a setting that was my favourite in the series, so yeah. I’m excited to play it.
Not gonna pay for it, but definitely looking forward to playing it at some point. Whatever you think about the developer, I don’t see them messing it up too much.
