Where's the hype for Super Lucky's Tale
- Thread starter RPGamer92
- Start date
The most hype for this game was during E3 where everyone for a few seconds thought it was Conker.
In that other thread with a similar title the other day.
But yes, I'll get excited for any 3D platformer when we're so starved for them.

I think Mario Odyssey and A Hat in Time have taken all the 3D platformer hype. Lucky's Tale just looks okay.

Because it's a single player 3D platformer, not something MS makes a lot. This doing well could show them that there is a market for these games on Xbox/
It's better it gets no hype and people play it and end up enjoying it enough to post about it and it actually be sincere instead of blind excitement tbh.
I think there's already a 'Where's the hype?' Thread for Lucky:

It doesn't help that it's coming out around Sonic Forces time, another XBox One X Enhanced title. I am hyped off it, I am getting both games on console launch day, but most people I know getting both are playing Sonic forest because we've been waiting like 18 months at least for it. Me? Haven't been hyped for one like this since Unleashed, nearly a decade ago.
At least that is why Lucky is going a bit under my radar at least.

Here in Europe, especially during Gamescom I saw many interested gamers for Lucky. To be honest, I think this game will do pretty well and a lot better than most of us think. Not much hype on forums, but in all the gaming events I have been to lately everyone at some point said that Super Lucky's Tale was great for family members and definitely something they are buying.
I'm sure Blinx killed off most interest Microsoft may have had in publishing 3D platformers. If anything this'll be the nail in the coffin.
So they just added Super to the name? Hm. Bad decision, I believe. Thought it was just a port.
And thats the problem. Back at E3 and to this day most people think its just a port of the Oculus VR game.
I'll check it out if it's great, but otherwise I've got plenty of hours left to sink into Mario Odyssey. Seems like a weird time to push out a mascot-based platformer really.
You ask where's the hype, I ask where's the marketing?
Seems like it's being sent to die.
Can't say I'm surprised.

All the attention is on Odyssey at the moment in terms of platformers.
If it launched 6 months from now it would have had a better chance of getting some hype.

The original on Oculus was a competent but uninspired platformer with too much grinding and repetition. I liked it but that was mainly because of the VR aspect which was such a "holy crap" moment for me.
I don't think this is the case, most people don't even know the previous game. Let us not forget that Super Lucky's Tale is aimed for another target audience. This audience isn't surfing the web to talk about games, they don't even know about Conker or Banjo.
This is the only family friendly game in a long time on Xbox (exclusive) so I'm pretty sure it will do well. This game doesn't even need to do a million to be considered a success. I hope for Microsoft that Crash doesn't launch in December for Xbox, that will likely hurt sales more than anything else.
Easy, they need it to lure family friendly gamers. And, believe it or not it is a fun game too. From what I have played this is easily a game that will get above 70% reviews.
Jesus Christ....Mario rules but come on with this hyperbole.
The need some product to show Xbox isn't all about gritty games with burly white men in suits of armor. Apparently, this is the best they've got for the holidays.
Dunno.
I'll be honest, when I think cute platformer, xbox doesn't really come to mind.
Guess we'll see how the sales do.

Well, I'm interested in this game. Hope it does okay but without the proper marketing we don't know if it'll survive, especially these days.
Yup I'm hyped for it, looks great and I hope it does well to show MS that they should be taking more risks like this.
I think this game will surprise a lot of people. Not in a crazy way, but I can imagine there will be some aspects in Lucky better executed than some aspects of Odyssey.
edit because I know this will be misinterpreted, I still think that Odyssey overall will still be the better game of course. That's without question. But shitposts have already hit the internet

That image is so loaded. There's no way to defend it. I do hope Lucky will be good though.
I think it'll average 6 to 7. Which is a surprise to me, upon reveal I was expecting averages of 5s.
It'll be interesting, regardless.
Same here. I thought the Oculus game was just OK, so when I saw them slap "Super" on it, I thought it was just the same game, but in 4K. Hope it does well, but I have a feeling it's going to get buried/overlooked. I don't think the 1X is the right platform/audience for that type of game either, but what do I know?
