Ok, whats the game that you've anticipated the release of the most? Or the game that you're looking forward to the most that hasnt been released yet?

We all have games that we HAD to get on release day. What were they for you? Did they live up to expectations?

There's only 2 games ive bought on day of release, they were MSR and B&W. MSR definately lived up to my hopes. B&W is good, but i think i need to play it some more to really get into it.

actually i aint hyped about the GC. I know it probably wont do as well as the PS2 sales wise, but as long as its nintendo i will be happy. Anything with the nintendo tag always brings a smile to my face.

Over-hyping is really bad 'cos if it does turn out to be crap then it could be really damaging for the game in question.

Yeah Ant, but that's just a demo. The final game could be delayed for ages like Daikatana and become dated that way. Alternatively, the final game might be incredibly short which would be really disappointing and make the hype seem unnecessary.

hype can be good, you know.

I mean, the Indrema is finished. Why?? Becuase no one knew of it, and no one really cared about it.

If it had been hyped, I expect the project would've been more successful.

Leave the Playstation2 alone people! I have the MGS2 demo, and I think that it was more than what I have expected of it. I know that most of you are not too fond of the PS2 but to wish you could see our disappointed faces and call it a piece of trash is really taking the kiss now.

If I didn’t like the MGs2 demo, don’t you think I would have told everyone what a waste of money it was? Im not going to pretend that the £40 I spent on it was well worth it if I didn’t like it now would I! As Ant said, there are plenty of peoples views on the demo, you go off and read them and then come back and see if you can say we will be disappointed.

If I hadn’t of played the demo, then yes, I could be a little disappointed with the outcome of the game but considering as I have played it, through and through about 10 times, I have a feel of what the game is going to be.

So come on, I don’t dish out abuse on the Gamcube so I don’t expect the PS2 to be called trash.

Yeah, I agree. QIIIA on DC is quality stuff. I got it for Christmas and I play it loads. I especially like playing the split-screen with my mate.

Well, I have played MGS2, and that easily lives up to it.

Hype doesn't do anything any good. It just makes it more painful if it turns out to be tacky. Take Daikatana for example. That was hyped up for ages and turned out to be totally average. You never know, GT3 and MGS2 might turn out to be disappointing too.
