The gameplay trailer has over 10 million views… The release date trailer has 3 million. What are you arguing about, really? Does “hotly anticipated” mean it has to reach GTA 6 levels of hype?
Videos on IGN’s channel get lots of views. News at 11.
Their own channel OTOH recently:
I give you that years ago IGN may have managed to generate a bit of hype but recent uploads on their own channel are anything but “hotly anticipated”. If that game was actually “hotly anticipated”, the hype would have persisted and not winded down to “mildly anticipated”.
No those trailer views don’t count because they’re not on the official youtube’s channel
People watch trailers in well-established channels rather than hunting for a new studio’s official channel. More news at 11. Who cares where views come from when you search “game trailer” and click the first thing in front of you? Do you get off being pedantic?
Search the game name anywhere and you will see a slew of popular articles and videos on it. But clearly you, the main character of the universe, never heard of it so it’s just not popular.
Yes, I’m a gamer and I’ve heard of actually anticipated games, even if a game might not be my cup of tea. One trailer had 15 minutes of fame three years ago. Amazing. Current anticipation is way down. They can’t even get 100k of YouTube subscribers.

Insane take. There’s been a lot of hype every time one of its trailers came out, just because you never heard of it doesn’t make it unpopular…
No, 61k subscribers of their YouTube channel and a mere couple of hundred thousand trailer views is not “a lot of hype”.

You’re in a bubble of a handful of die hard fans.
