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?

      You’ve triggered me now. I remember playing that stupid game as a kid. You were supposed to run or something in order to fly, and I couldn’t “run” properly and I always crashed. 0/10, will never play again.

        Which platform? Especially back then, there were often significant differences in games due to the unique limitations of varying hardware.
