I haven't played anything in the series in probably over a decade and am well aware I'm asking a userbase who prob isn't easily hyped by these things but even outside of that I hear the hype always talked about in third person ("it'll sell so well", "hype is enormous"
rather than first person ("I can't wait to get it", "I'm so excited!"
I'm not claiming it's all manufactured hype or predicting a flop here, just wondering if the wait becoming a meme has kicked off an undue expectation so I guess the question is do you know anybody who is or are willing to admit to a genuine excitement?

I can't wait for Light No Fire, looks like it will be amazingly fun.

(you know the one)
No, I don't. Are they finally making Jet Moto 4?

The series in question didn't really disappoint me since it started almost 30 years ago. When it moved to 3D it was pretty mindblowing - a lot of games stumbled when they attempted that, but this series was better than ever.
And the upcoming game is returning to a setting that was my favourite in the series, so yeah. I'm excited to play it.
Not gonna pay for it, but definitely looking forward to playing it at some point. Whatever you think about the developer, I don't see them messing it up too much.

They've always been pretty damn good games, but not as good as the hype surrounding them would suggest (ie they are not the greatest games to ever have existed). I always liked them, but Rockstar can suck my nuts so I'm not even bothering with 6. It's just gonna be more GTA, likely very similar to 5 with prettier graphics. And I'm not even sure the story will be good, because the main writer of nearly every game they put out before GTA6 left and did not contribute to GTA6.

Games I'm looking forward to:
- Skyrim sequel
- Jedi outcast sequel
- Half-life 3 (lol)
Games I'm enraged there will be no sequel to:
- Days Gone
Games I used to love that were ruined beyond hope and I never want to play a new iteration of:
- Everything made by Blizzard
Games that I'll consider once it's on sale for $30 on Steam:
- This
- Whatever the team behind Baldur's Gate 3 is doing next
- Whatever the team that did No Man's Sky is doing next
That's pretty much everything.

Yes, I'm very excited. Every time I've played one of the main, numbered entries in the series, I absolutely loved the experience.
Each one brought something new and unique to gaming, and from what I've seen, this one promises to deliver in a big way.

Whats with the unnecessary vagueness

I'm still waiting for the follow-up to

Oh absolutely. After so many years since the last numbered release, there's no way in hell I'd miss Qix III.

My guess was not wanting to be accused of underhanded marketing/promotion.

Since the question was regarding hype, I thought it important to word it in a way that couldn't be construed as adding fuel to the fire nor feed into any sort of engagement baiting marketing strategies (thankfully this developer doesn't seem keen to do that)
The people saying they don't know what I mean also provides insight on the reality vs expectation of hype I was curious about
TL;DR: It was necessary for what I wanted to know

Are you singling out VC and SA? o.0
25 Jun 2026 06:57
Wait, a new Jedi Outcast sequel is in the works?!
25 Jun 2026 06:58
I like this take on the series as those jumps really have been easy to see even from an outside perspective
What would you consider some of the next "jumps" announced thus far or do you mean that more in a "faith in the developer" sorta way?
