Top 5 Overhyped Video Games of 2012

From the PlanetPlaystation.com feature list:

"Many publishers are clearing out and avoiding this holiday season onslaught of Halo 4, Call of Duty: Black Op II, and Assassin’s Creed III. While analysts predict that there isn’t room for other titles to shine due to these three — along with the annual Madden title — dominating the sales charts, many of them aren’t taking in consideration games missing their mark for their critical reception and consumers becoming exhausted with multiple sequels. Whether titles have been delayed due to the games not being on track for release this holiday or to simply avoid the often crowded season, at this current point in time, the rest of 2012 is looking relatively weak. From BioShock Infinite to DmC: Devil May Cry, what once was a strong holiday season has now turned into a questionable one."

Don't agree with at least 2 of them but it's an opinion, we'll see when sales numbers come out later this year...

Halo 4. What story is left to tell. Apart from the obvious what happened to Master Chief.

LiamDirish4300d ago

Yes I answered my own question. I'm not with it today!!

WeskerChildReborned4300d ago

Is anyone really overhyping DOA5? Also AC3 looks to be real good.

Halo 4
Assassin’s Creed 3
forza horizon

BanditGamer4300d ago

Forza Horizon? Overhyped? Come on. Also can we gauge overhype before the game actually releases? I mean what if the game releases and exceeds the hype? Is it still overhype then?

KMCROC544300d ago

Lets not forget God Of War Ascension, just to even out this list. we now have an even # 2 Multi plats,
2 Sony Exclusive, 2 Xbox 360 Exclusives . all which are overhyped.

Lollipop chainsaw now a remaster not a remake

At fans request apparently.

gold_drake195d ago

i wonder if they looked into what a remake would cost and went "NOPE Remaster it is" haha

FreeckyCake194d ago

It probably has to do with what the producer had mentioned recently. The thing about not wanting to change the essence of the original (e.g censorship). So maybe remastering the game was the best choice.

CrimsonWing69194d ago

The link to the story didn’t really answer the question. It makes no sense that you have to censor a remake and not a remaster.

What I got from that article is licensed music forced them to change to a Remake(?) and that they’re working hard with the platform holders to negotiate not censoring, which Sony is stupid about.

My question is, how would a Remaster not have to go through censorship?

I’ve seen dialogue changed in FF7 and Baten Kaitos. Then you have actual cutscenes being removed like in the dmc remaster.

I assume the same could be done to this game.

FreeckyCake194d ago

No idea. That's why I said " maybe ".

CrimsonWing69194d ago

Bull sh*t, you show me where fans wanted a Remaster instead of a Remake. I was more onboard with a Remake, I’m less excited just playing the same game I did before but now with sharper textures and better framerate.

ModsDoBetter194d ago

Probably realised this won't do the numbers so didn't want to invest.

No harm, I love Lollipop Chainsaw but it's a bit of a niche title.

gold_drake194d ago

yeh it was super niche even bk then

LoveSpuds193d ago (Edited 193d ago )

Loved it back in the day and have my copy sat on the shelf and ypu are right, it was super niche, which is why my copy is increasing in value slowly but surely. Hoping a remaster doesn't tank the value of my PS3 copy

Games with the dumbest NPCs

Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.

Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩

Flawlessmic265d ago

How did redfall not make the cut.

anast265d ago (Edited 265d ago )

Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.

....and that's a bad thing how?

343_Guilty_Spark269d ago

If it ain’t on Sony box it’s bad

autobotdan269d ago (Edited 269d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all

darthv72269d ago

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.

Vits269d ago

Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.

Juiceid269d ago

This list is ok, but Ninja Gaiden reigns supreme!

GhostScholar269d ago

I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.
