I think that's just age. "back in my days" hype for 3D GTAs was insane, but basically none of us care about GTA VI. Older people still care but on a smaller scale, e.g. my friend is hyped about Path of Exile 2.
Citation needed? How aware are you of the spaces younger generations discuss things in? They might not necessarily be expressing excitement in the same venues older audiences frequent.
Speak for yourself I was losing my mind the day before FFVII Rebirth came out
I highly doubt that, most kids these days care more about fortnite and roblox than PokemonYup lol. I promise you kids still feel the way about the new Pokémon game releases as we did
I mean they care about Fortnite and Roblox too, but sales for Pokemon games keep getting higher, not lower. It's a gargantuan franchise.I highly doubt that, most kids these days care more about fortnite and roblox than Pokemon
How would you know though? It sounds like you are projecting your feelings onto other groups of people.That is a factor but even younger audience is not excited. And despite getting older I should get excited for releases of some of games from my favorite series but nope, that is still rare. Games like Elden Ring caused so much talk everywhere. And before we got way more releases like that.
Tears of the Kingdom was a big release for me that felt like "the old days" - but yeah that doesn't happen as often anymore.
The slow decline of physical games has attributed to game releases not feeling as big as they used to, downloading a game just isn't as exciting.
