Where's the hype for Super Lucky's Tale

Theres the issue. Hard to get hype for a system that is unlikely to gain any support. Hell I own and X1 and its a coaster at this point. All I use it for is Killer Instinct and thats on PC.
X1 lost so hard that it left a crater in the ground when it hit bottom. Anything announced for it thats not some AAA sequel exclusive just gets ignored and zero hype at this point. Sad, but true. Sorry. Cuphead is the only exception and I am betting you most folks play it PC.
Hmm. Well I hope the game does well because I love the resurgence of platforms, in a red ocean of FPS and open world games. That said, I really wouldn't bet on this game to somehow make MS more interested in SP games then QB, Rome or any other high quality SP game could have. If anything, they'll start looking into how to make platformers a GaaS product.
No. Small low cost games like Ori and Cuphead are doing well for them compared to big budget SP platformers.
It's in a rough place but this post right here is sheer delusion.
Really without the iconic developers like Yookah had and the cute designs of A Hat in Time, Super Lucky's Tale got overshadowed. The original was good, but it was good for a very specific reason. It brought N64, PSX era platforming to VR. They're trying to expand on a series that was developed specifically for a hardware gimmick which always means the series will initially struggle.
It's a 3D platformer that doesn't have Mario in it. They don't exactly get a lot of interest these days.
There might be hype when the reviews come in. I'm interested to see how it scores. It's cheap and looks cheerful, but I have Mario.
I'll be buying it, mainly because it's a family-friendly game that I can play with my eldest. Also, it's launching at a budget price, so could do well with impulse buyers.
Right now, the $30 price. I think it's best to go in not expecting much and possibly be surprised.
yooka laylee had a lot of hype and i still will buy it for the switch (if it comes out)
While this is demonstrably true (Microsoft dropped most of their announced 3d platformers out of their slate that all eventually got released by other publishers), it also happened 15 years ago. I really dont think any current decisions are being made based on Blinx's performance. I dont know how well Recore and the Voodoo Vince remaster did (im gonna guess not well) but Id think those results have a bigger impact on Microsoft going forward with 3D platformers
Yes a mediocre PlayStation game with half of the enjoyment of a LEGO game had a fighting chance with Mario
Brutal, lol
Or more likely, different games have different levels of popularity.
First I've heard of it.
Looked at a video and... what's to get hyped about, really? Doesn't look like anything special.

Honestly I find the whole thing kind of bizarre that this is a non-VR sequel to a VR tech-demo game. Like I want to know what kind of process led to SLT being what it is and why. And as far as I can recall, Lucky's Tale doesn't really have much of a following behind it, so it doesn't seem like much of a "Get!" for Microsoft.
Also the name being intrinsically linked to Palmer Luckey makes me uncomfortable about supporting this.

I'm cautiously optimistic, I've only seen a little bit but I really want it to be good. I'll wait for impressions before jumping in.
You'd have to be pretty silly to think there's any platformer that can compete with Mario
I really enjoyed it on Oculus, but I think it's going to loose a lot of its charm transitioning to a TV. Moving the camera around with your head was such a small but immediately noticeable change.
Super Lucky's Tale is a very, very basic 3D platformer releasing against another 3D platformer that's probably destined to Game of the Year and platformer of the generation. SLT was a competent proof of concept when it was a VR game but now it just doesn't have anything going for it.
Sorry, but there's absolutely no hype for it.
It looks a bit soulless. I'd be a little more interested if it didn't seem so generic. But after Yooka, I'm cautious about which 3D platformers I'm give a shot. Oddssey has also spoiled me on what a great collect a thon should be.
A lot of you are implying that this game is the same as the Oculus VR one.
I was under the impression that this is a new sequel.

Also, it looks nice, but it's probably not the first thing X owners are looking for to test their new machine. Especially when Forza and Assassin's Creed are still new.
It's releasing alongside a meme game.(Bubsy) and a garbage Sonic game
It'll be alright
If SLT can beam struggle at Yooka Laylee's power level, I'll be OK with it.
If it feels like Super Magnetic Neo on the Dreamcast, I'll just growl under my breath and pack up the Xbox until 2018.

They most definitely can't compete at $60.
Funny, I thought it looked lifeless as a VR game. Now that the sequel (Or reboot or whatever) is on Xbox it feels like a complete game.
It's actually a full sequel, and they've done an awful job with that messaging.
Did that VR game sell? I thought it was a new IP when it was revealed.
Not really. No reason to mention the VR ver. Only a handful of people know about it anyway.
Was the first game even good? I certainly don't remember people raving about it, so i'm uncertain why this is pushed forward as something people should be foaming at the mouth for.
Oh, and Mario Odyssey stealing all the platforming thunder this year certainly won't help.

Yup, they definitely fooled me. Whoever decided to reveal the game that way had to be intentionally trolling.
Yeah the fact that you had to ask shows how poorly they've been marketing this game.
this is it exactly...
lucky's Tale looks generic... and boring.
I find it extremely hard to get excited for something like that.
