Ever get the feeling that you know a game will flop? Whether it's based on demos or trailers. You think that those games shouldn't be hyped, yet people hype them anyway! What game(s) is it for you? For me it is:

PS3 - Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm

360 - Tales of Vesperia

What game is it for you? These are just opinions so don't take them too seriously guys :P

Also, no fanboyism please. I know people are gonna say Killzone 2, Gears 2, and etc, but for the wrong intentions. Please don't be a fanboy!

Fallout 3. It may even turn into another Alone in the Dark considering the recent Eurogamer look.

EuroGamer gave AITD a 7! :o

Anyways, I'm going with Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360), Killzone 2 (PS3), and The Conduit (Wii).

The Conduit for the Wii. It just looks like a run of the mill FPS from 2004.

Soul Calibur IV. I played it, and while good, I don't think it's AAA-worthy. It's more of the same. Likely AA.

Wait, seriously?

Also, why is MAG being hyped? I haven't heard anything about it? Well, it is an exclusive, so I guess, according to system wars logic, it deserves hype.

I don't think people should hype any game.

I mean yeah devs want to get their product known to the public but I hate it when people fight over game X being either the second coming or an Epic Fail when it hasn't even been released. People build up this expectation that a game will be exceptionally good and are disappointed. At the same time other people build up this hate for a game that is being hyped(for what ever reason) and if it is good they trash it just because they don't want the hype to be right.

Don't buy into the hype, reserve judgement until you can actually play the game for yourself and don't trash people who like a game that you hate.

I don't see how hype can be so high for that when basically nothing is known. The game sounds promising by what we know, but what we see and play is completely different.

And my choice would have to be Too Human.

It shouldn't be hyped, we've seen absolutely nothing from it.

I'll have to go with MAG. I don't get the hype for this game. All I know about it is that it exist and its a FPS that focuses only on MP with 256 people.

If the servers are dedicated wouldn't that help, a lot?

Actually, nevermind. When camping some mobs in FFXI with 50+ peeps there is some serious lag.

But I think MAG will probably be more spread out, we'll see.

Dude, if the game didn't have no lag why would they even announce it? Obviously Zipper knows what they're doing. I argued this with my friend, and that's what he told me.

MAg has recieved plenty of love from cows...But, the difference between the 3 is that we have known much about Banjo and Too Human for some time...Why should a game with ltl to no info be hyped at all?

Uh, we know little to none about Alan Awake, heavy Rain, and much more. We still hype them. Why? Because they look good.

I don't understand why people still hype vaporware like Alan Wake.
