Why's no one talking about Desperados 3?

From the very little response to this thread (and follow by everywhere else) this game isn't on everyone's radar from what little I heard and even I'm not interest in this game myself. Besides Western games like RDR/2, Western games are a hit or a miss and the fact I seen very few gamers talk about Desperados 3, it's not generating hype.

A lot of smaller games fly under the radar at E3. That's why you really gotta dig into articles yourself and not just get your news from the big outlets.

This game is like commandos, shadow tactics, but Desperados is a really solid franchise in that genre as well. The western setting is just a theme, and does not dictate its gameplay.

Which is a very odd statement as Westerns, particularly Sergio Leone created video game tropes before video games were a thing.They are an absolute perfect template for video games, but turned into a niche' outside of Rockstar or augmented elements for other genres like Metal Gear Solid, which lifts heavily from Sergio Leone. Solid Snakes face in MGS4 beee Van Cleef, and Ocelot Gian Maria Volonté in A Few Dollars More.

Makes sense in other respects, basically no coverage, a less cinematic (and therefor less exciting) looking game. Strategy games have always had this stigma. If it's not Blizzard, console focused or MOBA, it's not getting a spotlight.

As a fan of the first one.

1) It looks cartoony now and not serious, big no go for me. It looks great for what it is. Shadow Tactics has a similar art style and it didn't prevent it from being awesome. I'm sure the new Commandos game if created from the ground up will have similar art style.

2) Visuals are a hit or miss. The game was brilliant on the fact it looked extremely realistic back in the day. Now its a mix of not looking good and decent solution ( almost sims like ). Refer to above. It looks brilliant.

3) Takes to long, game should have been out last year when they announced it. Sadly it's still not out and a year later yea how long do you plan on people to get interested in your game. You aint a high profile game. They are a small team making agame in a niche genre with almost no marketing budget. What do you expect? STill it has no bearing on the game being shit but says about gamers being gullible due to marketing.

4) Genre is kinda dead to be honest. Which is the whole point of the thread because it's an awesome genre which shouldn't be.

5) Trailer didn't really tell you what the game was about for people that just tune into it. Ummmmm...it shows a sneak peak which is good enough for a trailer. It's not a gameplay video, besides it's a sequel people can easily discern what it should be. It has shown more than what Kojima has in the last 3 years for DS.

6) Art just isn't interesting, the first one was so charming. this just looks more like sims 2.0. Point 1 and 2.

You guys realize you're on gamespot, right ?

Camera angle alone is enough to drive most popamolers away.

Not enough IMMERSION.
