SOAPBOX: Cyberpunk 2077 could be a victim of his own immense hype

Cyberpunk 2077 is number one on the list when it comes to games where I can barely expect to get my sweaty hands. Regular readers will know how much I love the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt love - I would say that it is probably my favorite game - and that CD project red another ambitious role-playing title in the oven is more than enough to excited me to get. Why should not it be like that?

I am confident that the Polish developer will deliver with cyberpunk 2077 based on what we have seen about the game and the conclusions we can draw from the great success of The Witcher 3. It's not about anything that has to do with the game itself - it's about the expectations that it currently surrounds, and about how you can influence the perception of people for the finished product.

Writing via video games provides a unique insight into the up and down the hype cycles, which passes through any great publication. It is both fascinating as well as a bit worrying to track upcoming titles so carefully and keep the type of traffic in mind you bring to places like games tips ps4. On the one hand, you can see people who show their passion for their favorite show, and it's great when a game comes out and all drag how well it is. On the other hand, it's just a bit disturbing to see how people get upset that they have not even played.

The conclusion is that it is absolutely fine to be for something excited. Something to have on which one can look forward to the horizon is a nice thing, but sometimes the whole hype can come back to bite you. The sky-high expectations that you have to the object of your wishes can collapse if the object does not provide.

I'm worried that the fans of cyberpunk 2077 are in such a rage - a rage, which, as I should add, lasted for several years - that if they will finally be published in 2020, they must be absolutely stunning even scratches The surface of its surrounding expectations. I'm worried that Cyberpunk 2077 could fall victim to a separate hype.

Expectations may be dangerous in all facets of life, but in the area of ​​the obsessive video game, their often hyperbolic inclinations can be crystal by the magic of the Internet. In the case of Cyberpunk 2077, you only need to enter the name of the thing in Google, and you will be hit by an unprecedented wave pure hype. People are absolutely crazy about anything, which has to do with cyberpunk 2077, and that for years - the enthusiasm for the game is at a level that is very rare.

Again, I can not introduce my future, in which cyberpunk 2077 is anything but a very, very good video game - but I can not get rid of the feeling that it is measured on completely unrealistic expectations. Well, I do not say that these potentially catastrophic expectations are your fault or other. The marketing campaign for Cyberpunk 2077 is finally based on carefully planned teasing. Months of silence. Small snippets of the game here and there. Vagual contributions in social media, the faithful fans have made rabby and insatiable and constantly demanding more. Keanu Reeves had come to the stage at E3 to God's will. It feels almost as if CD project Red His hand was played too perfect, but it's too late to take it back. For many Cyberpunk 2077 must be a really phenomenal product.

And believe me, I'm just too good that the media played an important role in the formation of this monster of the mass frost. Almost every games page on the Internet - including games Tips PS4 - has someday brought fuel into the fire. It is too easy to let himself be carried away, if you tell you that cyberpunk 2077 develops a masterpiece, as it feels like every other week.

But the industry works for the good or bad. The hype cycle is sometimes inevitable, and all you can do is observe how your most expected games are closer to their release dates, knowing that so many people are likely to set up bitter disappointments.
