So this topic could apply to any media including movies, but I tend to see this come up more when talking about games. It seems most threads I visit ultimately break down only talking about the lack of footage prior to releasing a game/said media.
My question is how much for you is too much or too little? Either way is not an issue, but I scratch my head sometimes. For example someone just posted in the Arkham thread about when they would see new footage. The game won't be out until June. We've already had a couple of trailers, multiple stills and the E3 gameplay video. I'm curious why that isn't enough?
Of course everyone wants to know everything about their anticipated media, myself included, but if that is all I got I'd be happier in the end. I'd go into the game not knowing much about the story, but knowing from one or two gameplay videos that it will be solid.
Still though, when a movie trailer comes out and then 5 more and then 10 TV spots, I have literally gone into a couple movies this year having already seen all of the set pieces and story arcs. What's left to look forward to?
Again, I'm just curious how others look at this. Lately I have noticed a trend of games releasing gameplay much later (like weeks before release) and quite honestly I LOVE that. Nothing is better than finally getting the info so close to release. Seeing Arkham footage so far out makes me want it so bad, but the payoff is so far away. Then there's games like WWE that has put out zero gameplay footage, and the more hyped up I get to see something now the game will be out in just a month...
