Posted from the last time this comment was madeThis point has a very large unfairness to it . Let me explain . No Man ' s Sky was advertised as a certain experience . It was hyped up as a certain game . All of that aside , do you remember how it was shown to us ? We were given a highly scripted trailer , no clarification on game specifics , and a laundry list of things that could be done that were not only missing from the gameplay that was shown , but ended up being false . And what have we gotten with Zelda so far ? I ' ll just give a juxtaposition . Hello GamesHere ' s No Man ' s Sky . Here ' s a scripted trailer , and here ' s a small amount of gameplay which is also relatively scripted , and here ' s a bit of video . We aren ' t going to let anyone actually play the game though , for some strange reason . We will continue to brazenly hype it to media . NintendoHey , do you guys like Zelda ? Here ' s 6 30 minute videos of us playing it . You want more Zelda ? Here ' s a bunch of people that actually work on the game to talk about it . More ? You can play it , here , right now . Here ' s 2 different demos that you can play . More ? Here ' s a bunch of videos of us playing it with Nintendo reps and developers who actually know things about the game . I understand caution , but this article is representing the integral problem with hype and uses a Nintendo ' s poorest performance to support it , but doesn ' t use a fair representation of what Nintendo has actually DONE to speculate on Nintendo ' s performance . No Man ' s Sky let hype stir , did nothing to squelch it , showed very little of their game , let no one play it , and lied . Nintendo literally let you play the game within reasonable limits , and showed it off to the fullest . I don ' t mean to patronize , but how could you possibly reassure the customer more than this ? This is the opposite of BaitAndSwitch , this is We think our thing is cool , so we ' re literally going to let you play with it . I respect not getting hyped , but the idea that these practices are even similar in the slightest is ridiculously unfounded in my opinion .
