Last few years I noticed that I kinda don't feel hype and buzz around big video game releases like I did before. And that is despite social networks being more prominent than before. I feel like there were more games before that had that big hype building around them and their releases caused a lot more talking.
These days that is reserved for just a few of them like Elden Ring or Rockstar games. Before even though dev time was shorter and games were released quicker we got excitement building around more games including some yearly sequels.
Classic example I would say is CoD, where For example run between CoD4MW to CoD BO2 hype was through the roof for basically each release. These days even though CoD still sells there is way less buzz around it.
Star Wars games where just a demo of 1313 caused hype to go through the roof these days with Jedi series and Outlaws there is kinda just mid excitement for them.
And with dev cycles way longer these day that kinda shouldn't be a case because we are waiting long times to get games from our favorite developers.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
