No trailer at E3 LOL @ SE

[Hyrist]

To be frank. I'm tired of the Hype Machine in general.

Every single little company is tossing around overproduced BS that isn't in the game, all for a bid of attention and marketing. I don't remember Minecraft splitting multi-million dollar budget on trailers getting people to like their game... and they've got what, 9 million copies sold now?

The PR caught that, and spoke with Yoshi. This time, hype won't work. The game has to sell itself. It's about effing time that policy is embraced again for once within our market.

Am I disappointed that we won't have that ready for E3? Yeah, I am. But that just means when the data is released, I won't have to wait a few months more to start experiencing it.

I'm already sold on the game. If SE's marketing department isn't as good as the game deserves, then I guess we'll have to step up and do it. What a concept, marketing by word of mouth.

I been saying that too, glad someone is with me on this >.>.

We had planned to release a new trailer for version 2.0 at E3 this year, but instead we’ve decided to keep it under wraps for now.

This is the ONLY thing that they are keeping under wraps ( as it seems to be their wild card), Everything else is up in the air... everyone is just butthurt, that they can't have their Eyecandy a week from now. I was butthurt too.. but I been over it :/.

Word of mouth without a good campaign and info dump from SE =

"Hey, I'm playing FFXIV! You should check it out!"

......what? Are you crazy? That thing still online? Heck,I heard they only let you play for 2 hours and then you can't get XP! Nah bro, I'm just gonna check out - insert next big MMO thingy here.

I think you're butthurt that everyone else is butthurt. How many people are over it? How many people are mad cause they were lied too? Not because they didn't get to see their trailer. How many people think they simply messed up by not showing the trailer. Not mad or anything in any way. I don't think you really know so quit placing everyone in the same category.

I wouldn't worry to much. E3 is not the "end-all-be-all" that it used to be. Chances are they are preparing a showing for the Tokyo Game Show instead.

Meh, it's whatever really, you guys can "cry" "QQ" all you want, I'm going to watch some regular show, and you guys can go on for another 30 pages of how they SE sucks. Happy Memorial Day!!

I'm just stating how I feel, and how everyone on here "including me" is taking this Letter WAY out of Context.

Hm, I'm not sure I follow.

I mean, there's nothing to "feel" here - it's black on white in the letter. Unless there was an inaccuracy in the translation, Yoshida said that there will be no new information about 2.0 at E3. (Which, by the way, still is no big deal.)

"A flood of new material rather than just a trickle" equals "a flood of new material [later] instead of just a trickle [at E3]".
a flood of new material later on = yes
a trickle at E3 = no

Thus, according to the letter, you will not get a trickle at E3. The trickle has been cancled. No trickle for you. I suppose what you could see though, is information less than a trickle!

If you say so, ( Regular show now)

There's nothing wrong with discussing something and you tell people they shouldn't. That's my problem. I see you worked yourself into a hole there and couldn't back out. Me, I'm talking. You, you've been qqing the qqers. "Meh, it's whatever really, but I'm gonna sit here and post and qq to you qqers and then I'm gonna by like "whatever really, doesn't matter." So yes. Have you happy memorial day! Irony. Haha sorry.
