do you agree?

The reveal isn't for you, it's for retard investors to give them money.

>>717155026 (OP)
Yeah.

>>717155178
They can showcase games behind the scenes without making a public trailer.

>>717155026 (OP)
Depends what you mean by reveal.
Big public announcement? Or do you consider posting any progress on an anonymous basket-weaving forum to also be a reveal?

>2 years
try longer than 5 months

Which will then inevitably leak to the public.

>>717155403
i couldve sworn that was only 4 years ago lmao
>>717155026 (OP)
at least with metroid prime 4, the reason was that they got singaporean developers first which was a massive mistake, those guys are not built for doing anything fun

>>717155434
There's a difference between a leak and a premature announcement.

>>717155026 (OP)
Make it 1 year.

>>717155026 (OP)
6 months not 2 years

>>717155026 (OP)
I blame graphixfags

>>717155026 (OP)
Yes and additionally if it takes over 5 years to develop it's too bloated and should be cancelled.

>>717155026 (OP)
kek how do Bethesdrones cope with this? Elder Scrolls 6 was """announced""" 7 years ago.

FPBP

Post it.

>>717155351
Try longer than 5 minutes. Game should be available for download by the end of the trailer.

>>717155026 (OP)
the early reveals are for lazy cash grabs.
you get new investors, you bring eyes back onto your games so people are more likely to play and buy your older titles, preorders and you can release in early access. the only thing sort of good is getting critique but desu unless you delay, critique is worthless, no one reveals when theyre opening to making big changes.
it also allows guaranteed players since preorder players are more likely to play the game they brought a year ago than an objectively better game that released 2 days before yours.

its all about getting the most money with the least possible work. releasing on the reveal or releasing in the same month as the reveal is only good for how people perceive you but that perception is worthless, it doesnt translate to additional sales. only time does that.

>>717155780
Nah then you'd have shit where you first hear of a game with someone posting a screenshot of the ending or something silly. 2 weeks minimum for big games.

>>717155026 (OP)
>first pv was 2023-08-23

I would say 3-4 years

How badly are these developers run that they need to release trailers for more investment capital for a game that's nowhere near completion?

>>717155403
the reveal was closer to skyrim releasing than now

>Katana Zero came out early 2019
>DLC was announced for it
>It's still not out six and a half years later.

I guess its nice from consumer "hype" perspective if the marketing campaign is short and sweet but who cares really.
It doesnt impact me negatively to know a game is being developed

Nah, seeing retards get hyped (and then cry if the game turns out to be shit) is fun. If anything everyone should do what Beth did with TES and announce their games 10 years+ before release.

>>717155403
how is this supposed to inspire investor confidence?

>>717155434
This rarely happens

>>717155178
if you need investors dont make video games because the budget is bloated.
