Grimrock

I don't think over-hyping is a large issue, except maybe in the confines of people who already know about the game. I knew nothing of it until digging though some links and ending up seeing the name on a page with information about Dungeon Master Java. Since Dungeon Master remains one of my all-time favorite games, the game-play videos for Grimrock, obviously, had me hooked. I will be buying this game the instant that I see that it is available for purchase, and reading 'hype' about it had almost nothing to do with that urge.

I hype myself up about this game. It's just a matter of how much you like this kind of thing.

Yep!

...I sense a Steam release upon the horizon.

Or GOG... Steam is a given, but they did say (I think) that it would not be a Steam exclusive.

I hope for a direct download

A game with a title like " Legend of..." cannot go wrong.

No, over-hyping an be used as an advantage -- they can get lots of customers!

Over-hype has never been much an issue for me because I can make up my own mind. Granted there have been SOME games where I got so hyped up, then was let down..but those games also completely sucked.

I don't expect that here..

Legend Of Grimrock isn't overhyped, the design and construction of it has been documented online to gain awareness and I think they did it just right.

The 3DS was over-hyped.

I'll be pre-ordering on Steam to show support and get my dungeon crawling fix, I expect a Legend of Grimrock 2 and Legend Of Grimrock 3 sometime down the road gentlemen.

PS, The hardware demo a few weeks back looked good in 3D on a stereoscopic monitor.

Cheers

I haven't seen the developers hyping the game overmuch - if there is such a thing, then journalists excited about the game are responsible

Personally, I think all of the communication from almosthuman has been rather factual, which is actually refreshing in this post-molyneux era

Hm, I can't seem to be able to make a sentence that doesn't end with a smiley..

Sol has a point- a good game people want, will create it's own hype.
