12 Obvious Reasons 2015’s Most Hyped Video Games Will Fail
2. No Man's Sky - Too Much Hype
With the amount of coverage No Mans Sky has enjoyed since its initial announcement, the title from the indie game developers at Hello Games is more or less being treated as a triple A exclusive release by both fans and Sony themselves. Which is a problem, because players have projected their own ideas of what they want No Mans Sky to be, rather than looking at how its actually going to play once it finally comes out. Although the game is admittedly ambitious, with its procedurally generated galaxy boasting almost endless amounts of content and variation, just what youre actually supposed to do on these uncharted planets remains a mystery. So far, its looking like No Mans Sky isnt going to be the feature packed game-changing title players want it to be. And how could it be? Hello Games is a small team with limited resources, and theres simply no way their release is going to be the mammoth 10/10 across the board perfect game many people are expecting.
