Should I be hugging my PS3 when the exclusive is announced?

Should I be hugging my PS3 when the exclusive is announced?

it will be the airbag when the hype train derails

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Should I be humping my PS3 when the exclusive is announced?

Yes

 

[AgentChris]

I hope this is the 1st thing announced during the VGA's.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I'll be (seriously) feeding myself pizza. May share a slice with the PS3 if deemed needed.

 

[Hex]

With the amount of salt that will be flowing, I do not think a snail is the best option for you Geoff

 

[Veidt]

Geoff is a false prophet.
He will bring doom to all of us.

 

[dallow_bg]

This is going to be so bad.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Banish him to hell and back!

 

[Lord Error]

It's pretty fuckin' tragic that some people think a new IP can't be surprising or impressive but the 6th sequel in a long running franchise would be.

Seriously, if this would end up being something like RE6 exclusive to PS3, it'd be the most underwhelming news possible to me. It's like, oh great, so I get to play a game I knew was coming, just as I'd get to play it if it wasn't exclusive...

Luckily, this announcement won't be just that.

 

[Feindflug]

Sweden dog. *cripsign*

3:00 am is way too late for this old man.

Athens, Greece here (well not the best time to say such a thing but what can I do) technically still Euroland, don't know for how long though.

And about the age thing I'm not the youngest boy around here either, I'm almost 30 but I think I can handle the 3:00a.m. challenge.

Well, if your penis that small. Why not try on TOSLINK port? It does moan, pretty weird eh?

By the way, beware of flap doors trap!

 

[Veidt]

Can you send a man to hell when he is already hell?

 

[Ricky_R]

I hope this is the 1st thing announced during the VGA's.

That shit will be announced in the middle of the end credits.

 

[Degen]

Throwing all my other games into the street in anticipation

not you, tekken 3.

we go back.

 

[td_rules]

I hope this is the 1st thing announced during the VGA's.

Not if they want decent concurrent views

 

[iceatcs]

That shit will be announced in the middle of the end credits.

"The game of the year award go to....."
*Open Envelope*
Sudden, loud music with Geoff's voice background.
"THERE IS A TEASER, PS3 EXCULIVE YOU WON'T BELIEVE"

 

[sleepykyo]

You've been spending a lot of time with Capcom's Ono haven't you?

 

[Veidt]

BELIEVE
neogaf slogan is believe.
' a ps3 exclusve you won't neogaf'.
it's a game no one on gaf will ever come up with. it's like the game , once you realise you're playing the game, you have lost the game.

 

[Corky]

SF5 confirmed, yes thank you based geoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[3N16MA]

I'm going to put my 360 in the other room when the exclusive is announced so it does not feel bad. Also it won't have to look a PS3's gloating.

Myamoto 'retires' and Playstation has a game we'll never guess? I'm thinking it will be a Jump man game.

 

[3N16MA]

Nintendo developed ant simulation exclusive for PS3. GAF servers destroyed.

 

[Dizzan]

even if the announcement is underwhelming, Sony has definitely done a good job of hyping this by partnering with Geoff.

Even if it it an ant infection, zombi, apocalypse game, I am now interested in a game I otherwise wouldnt have taken a second look at.

 

[DR3AM]

this thread will go down in history, im glad i was part of it

 

[Elginer]

I can feel in my bones that this reveal is going to be such a letdown. All this hype and the just a bunch of staring faces and broken hearts tomorrow night.

 

[Dunk#7]

To be fair, I do not think anything can stand up to this much hype.

I think they should have put the teaser out closer to the show.

They gave GAF too much time to think about it. If they only gave us like 2 days they would have been fine lol

That is just it. These types of teasers usually end up being let-downs because too many people let the hype inflate their expectations to unrealistic levels. Teasers are their own worst enemy in the end. That said, I am hoping this will be an exception and will be something that justifies all of the excitement... but I am not betting on it. I am just going to keep it real and hope it is something to look forward to, regardless.

Oh shit, I better say something intelligent in this thread so that my grand children will be proud of me.

The hype is the game.

 

[Dunk#7]

Can we work together on bringing the hype level back down prior to the announcement so that we can all be happy?

What are some steps we can take to bring the hype down to reasonable levels?


(I know this is ridiculous because hype is simply fabricated in one's mind, but just go with me on this and let's try to name some tangible things that could be done to reduce hype)

 

[Pranay]

The Official Site is not opening

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

The hype is the game.

Hype -> Game -> Hype?

Something something through the looking glass.

Works for me.

Damn :\

[Wazzim]

I don't even understand what you guys are so hyped about, it will most probably end up being a disappointment.

 

[GamerSciz]

@Darkwing

Love that answer..had to quote it for the sake of it. And sadly probably true.

geoff knows how to push our troll buttons

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

A new IP can be shocking. If it's a zombie game... uh... that's going to have to work a little harder to be shocking. In fact, short of a modern military FPS, a zombie game is about the least surprising new IP possible currently.

The execution of the game can be novel even if the subject matter is well-worn.

How so?

Sony has already released/announced a bazillion new IP's this gen, so what would be so shocking and "unbelievable" about yet other one?

That's not really what I meant. Obviously new IPs are a constant in the industry. The content/style of the game is what could be surprising in some way.

I'm not saying it actually will be surprising when all is said and done, but I am saying that's the most reasonable interpretation of "surprising," "shocking," or whatever.

 

[GamerSciz]

Well we have seen something about ants...reminded me of this.

Not down for me.

 

[Tonidayo]

Working fine for me..in other news i sure wonder how many hits that site got in the last 4 days..

 

[Dunk#7]

Not down for me.

What if we are in the game right now?????

Maybe the site is only down for those that are already infected.

There is a fungus among us!!!

 

[3rdamention]

I'll be (seriously) feeding myself pizza. May share a slice with the PS3 if deemed needed.

Nice, I will be grilling Turkey Burgers on my PS3 baby!! I may even grill one up for Geoff and dump it out on the curb in his memory.

Is it down like "Hey, this website is down for maintenance" or down like "Server not found"?

It's been "server not found" for me 9 out of 10 times I've tried to go there.

 

[Globox_82]

Not down for me.

Yeah it is up now. But it was down.

Honestly I wasn't paying much attention but I think it was "server"....

 

[Allonym]

That's a praying mantis, not a grasshopper.

And it doesn't show the rest of the GIF where the mantis bursts out of the lizards chest.

Holy shit! For real? Damn I want to and don't want to see it at the same time. Is it overly gory? How does the Mantis manage that one, sounds unbelievable

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Yeah it is up now. But it was down.


Honestly I wasn't paying much attention but I think it was "server"....

I doubt it was ever really down. I wonder if the access problems are related to the theme of the game. The site couldn't be so popular that it broke, could it?
