This is exactly where I’m at now. At first I wasn’t going to look as I wanted to be surprised, but then I was just like ■■■■ it.
IG and MS are dragging their feet on releasing info on this IMO. The leak really wasn’t that big of a deal (if you ask me), but there is no denying that it did serve to get the KI name out there for a bit outside of any official announcements. The funny thing is that I see a lot of positive comments regarding KI around this leak…like it’s almost like people are looking forward to the game! Wow. Who’d of thunk that if new news gets out there, people get excited.
Come on IG/MS, spill the beans. Holding on to content now just makes me more worried in a sense, like they aren’t confident in what they have. They should be blowing the ■■■■ out, raising hype levels everyday, not actively NOT talking about it until some arbitrary date.
…
Sorry to drag this on, but the way they are doing this just baffles me.
So many games blow their advertising out there, but with they KI just don’t. I was thinking about this the other day, that KI:S3 was announced 9 months ago with a big splash, and after that we had 7 months of silence. Sure within the last 2 months we’ve only got balance changes (this was awesome and in depth, so no complaints with that specifically), and a few trailers and character breakdowns for the 4 launch characters, but why is that it?
Don’t get me wrong, it is all great content, but the game releases in only a few weeks, and while we are all chomping at the bit, we still don’t really know what we are getting (lol). It is kind of sad.
I know I’m rambling, but don’t take my frustration as hate for the devs. I’m grateful for everything: the back stories, the blogs, the streams, etc. And even though there was a 7 month drought of info, I think it says a lot that I’m still here. But all that said, the frustration is real, and I feel they are just playing this to close to the chest.
