Because it's absolutely fucking ridiculous and backwards.

These companies are supposed to be promoting their games with these marketing materials, not doling them out to 'loyal fans' who are willing to do something that benefits the company. It's reversing the relationship. Now the customers have to serve the corporations trying to sell them shit? What the hell?

It's sickening, really. People are "working" simply to be advertised to. It's even worse than exclusive demos, or beta access for pre-ordering.

You'll be amazed how many people don't even realize this.I think as time passes people are getting more and more brainwashed becoming marketing tools without even realizing it.

Speaking of marketing tools without realizing it, just wait until you see the Tomb Raider |OT|

There is a huge difference of a thread for fans to discuss a game that they like or not,with shit like this.

They're at 9,592 likes so far. So it's very unlikely that we're going to get that teaser. But they're supposed to be showing stuff at different "milestones" along the way. I guess we could see one of those.

We will see ALL of them, and they will come at the exact same time we would have seen them regardless of "likes" or not.

The whole "like" thing is a grand case of blulshit from every company that does it.

Of course, PR would have liked more "likes." but the content of their PR plan would never change because of what does(n't) happen on Facebook.

I don't have a Facebook account so I don't understand the benefit behind doing this. To me it seems like they would generate a lot more hype and interest in something if they simply posted a video on YouTube. Instead they ask for Likes and it seems like they some times can't even hit the number that they set. So in the end they upset their fanbase.

I'm in the same boat here.

They should bump it down to 20k. I mean really, 5 days to get 90k more? It would've made more sense to start it months ago.

Better to just wait until the second of June.

This is probably the one game I'm looking forward to seeing more of at E3. After three games I think it's a good idea to reboot and change it up a little, I just hope they don't make it too different. Certainly hope the early survival/horror rumors turn out to be incorrect. Focus still ought to be on exploration, puzzling and platforming, I hope there's plenty of all that. As for Metroidvania elements, hell yes, that makes anything better.

Just finished another co-op run through Guardian of Light, I wouldn't mind a sequel to that as well...

lol even 20k seems like a stretch at this point.

Point is, SE's PR team had no intention of releasing a teaser. This is just promo for them. Oh well, I wanna see the teaser but I know I'll have to wait.

Like, gameplay? Or is it the CG stuff. As pretty as this CG can look ( and does from stills) like, seriously, who gives a fuck. Show me what I'd be playing, please. PLEASE!

It'll all be CG....and more than likely be only 50 seconds of CG to boot. If you want a gameplay blowout you're gonna have to wait till E3. This is just a really tiny small taste.

I do, after the deus ex trailer it would be cool to see what Tomb Raider would look like with crazy expensive visuals.

Guess I'm waiting till the E3 reveal, then. CG does nothing for me. My tastes have changed since the days of FFs wowing us with CG. I want more immersion with in game cut scenes and promos. Seeing the stills, the game has to look unbelievable to compete and that's a disparity I hate seeing when the engine is shown. It can't match up. Feels like devs really do themselves a disservice with that type of stuff. Eh.

Can't wait for the trailer; it might even be as stunning as last year's Deus Ex piece. I really hope it makes it to the public in source 1080p form as it for DX. I don't care about an 800MB download when it looks that nice.

Personally, I don't mind a bit of eye candy. I just don't expect the game to look or play like the CG. But, yeah, I do love me some CG in games.

Kojima spoiled me with the MGS series. Can't go back now.

Are they gonna show GP at e3? I pretty much assumed the CG tease is all we'd see.
