Bungie's recent Destiny press event serves as a harsh reminder that if major game reveals aren't managed perfectly, they'll fail to completely satisfy the core gamer. The world awaits a new PlayStation, and Sony can't hold back the important details...
Also Sony dont even need to pull a bungie because bungie already pull a sony.
They were bashing Bungie, and warning Sony not to do the same stupid isht.
But not hyped at all. Probably because they didn't really show anything aside from some artwork and a video documentar..zzz
PS4 on the other hand; super hyped!
P.S: Highly misleading title.
All this sensationalism bullshit makes my head spin.
Kotaku seems similarly disinterested; page views on the majority of their Destiny articles are rather low.
People were pretty excited by the prospect of what was being promised. Personally I think finding out that you can only play the game while being online was a bit of a downer, and they didn't really show anything, I still think no publicity is bad in this case.
Remember Ninja Theory talking about that "uptick" in pre-orders? Yeah, this is the same thing: a trend that his improved, but no word on how significant an increase it's seen.
So, how big was it? This level of trending? What did it increase FROM, and what did it increase TO? Frankly, there doesn't seem to be a lot of buzz for this game, and what little there IS seems to be focused on sites like N4G.
Edit: NUMBERS. Give me the numbers.
What was it ranked? How many tweets did these things garner? What were the trending phrases competing against?
You're saying it was popular, but for the tiny amount of information you're giving us, we pretty much have to take your word for it. I doubt it's very high on the list now, which means that even if it WAS popular and people were excited, it didn't last very long.
I wouldn't downplay the game, it might not be my cup of tea, but it is more than obvious that a ton of people were excited for it.
Ummm... screenshots were released along with Artwork, in game play was shown during the vid doc briefly... but beyond that, when did Bungie ever promise anything more than releasing details? Details were released...not a ton, but there were some.
If you think CVG that you are going to get some avalanche of info out of the Sony Presser you are in for another rude shock. News flash...Sony is going to hold back much of the details and save that for future events to help ramp the hype up.
The contract has been shifting and changing, so who knows? Even though I doubt it.
Besides, all Sony have to do is show the console. Even if they just pulled it out for 3 seconds, that would be bigger than the Destiny reveal. It is a freaking console, so no matter what we will probably be blown away.
FYI: I stayed up all through the night for the Destiny reveal. It was pretty average reveal (not saying the game is bad). I will be staying up for the 'PS4 announcement' for sure.
i think the problem with their reveal is that it didnt show much at all or detail the game much. im still not even sure what kind of game it is. looked like an fps, sounded like an fps but then the dev called it an action game and all the "social" aspects of it made it look more like an mmo.
the art design was very cool though. im def interested in it but not super hyped.
i can understand why they dont think sony should go this same route. they need to build hype esp since the company hasnt been doing well recently. they need to impress, they meed to give some very important details and features and they need to make people say "ive got to have that". showing next to nothing will only hurt them so hopefully they are not to shy with the details
You know what I am going to write an article
Why Sony can't make ice cream.
Sony has become like a bullied child on the playground.But in the end they don't care what you say or what I say because they out there to make money and do what they do best, make great products.
If this was a Xbox or Nintendo-heavy site, there would be the flame bait to get those people clicking.
I don't think its a right time to reveal the price or the absolute final specs until they see what MS has in store at E3 or possibly before that time. They might want to revise the RAM issue if MS decides to put 16gb ( haha..I'm joking) in their system. Because adding more RAM shouldn't be too big of an issue. But I already know that they won't please everyone and we will see the articles on here 5min after the conference is over of how Sony didn't deliver. I'll put my life savings on that($1)...haha...Few more days to go....
Don't be surprise to see TLG running on PS4.
