Sony haven't cared about GT in years, each game has seen a massive drop in quality and promotion. This GT Sport crap will be the first game that sells less than a Forza game - book it!

Sell less than which Forza game?
 
I don't know how it happened so fast, but the Spider-Man trailer now has more views than Recore. It's on 1,666,454 at the time of writing, while Recore's at 1,658,593.

You do know that even GT6 - coming out on PS3 at almost the same time the PS4 launched - still sold nearly 5 million copies? GT5 sold over 10 million copies; the first GT game to launch on new Sony hardware has been I think their highest-selling first party game on each console.

And yet somehow it'll most likely outsell most if not all games on that list.

It'll be The American War Game™ to get for years to come. Clearly great many people think they are good year after year. I never understand why people don't get bored but then again I don't care for CoD to begin with.

Holy shit, this looks so good.

Yeah it looks familiar (images, characters) but I had no idea it existed. That looks very good.

What the heck dude? As a person that only ever bought GT and will probably get Forza Horizon on PC, I doubt GT will be going anywhere anytime soon. I didn't even look at trailers or the thread for GT Sport but I know I'll be getting it. Then GT7 will melt my face.

Something I thought was interesting--Watch Dogs 2 has a crazy low number of likes for it's viewcount (42,896 likes).

Compare that 42k to its neighbors:
Battlefield 1-290,130
God of War-169,872
Zelda: Breath of the Wild-120,240
FIFA 17-117,966

That is what I meant with my last post. Watch Dogs 2 trailer has ad views for example, that is why the disproportion. Same thing with Nier 2 trailer (6k likes and 200k views) and Recore trailer (6k likes too but 1,6 million views, which means there are a lot of ad views there).

Okay, done. All games now have their like count in addition to their view count, and Battlefield 1 is winning by a landslide.

Battlefield just passed Watch Dogs.

Battlefield 1: 7,713,286 views - 290,530 likes
Watch Dogs 2: 7,708,843 views - 42,970 likes

I think either Battlefield 1 or Shantae is winning in views-per-like.

The views and likes thing is just important to know which video has ad views. In the grand scheme of things the likes doesnt matter too much, just the views. It is a good indicator of how the game is been received by the fans though.

Not to mention every time new footage comes out, GT Sport looks better and better. Honestly, Polyphony shouldn't have shown that trailer with the ancient build in the first place.
 
Gears of War 4 (gameplay demo): 326,566

I'm very sad about this, the game looks pretty great and the beta was fun.

People has already seen it, and played it. Coming out of E3 buzz will be on newly announced games.

Gears of War 4 - Tomorrow trailer has 16 million views |

Anyways its nice seeing Recore and Spiderman got some buzz after E3. Maybe Spiderman will be the start of good superhero games, and Recore is nice seeing a new IP such as this getting some buzz.

The bigger news is how CoD was barely registered on the blip for many whereas Battlefield 1 exploded. What a time to be alive.

This one trailer was used as youtube ad though. There is no way a video with 40k likes has 16 million views and the Battlefield 1 that has 200k+ likes has less than 8 million. It is just not possible. I think a lot of that 16 million were ad views.

This is a thing? Didn't know that.

Why is Watch Doges 2 so high? I thought people were disappointed with the original?

Also surprised to see GoW4 overtake Zelda. I thought the latter was the most viewed/talked about game on social media?

It is. Look at the replies in the first page talking about having to watch that Watch Dogs 2 trailer before their videos. It is not coincidence that it has way less likes than the other games with 5million+ views but manage to be with more views.

Generally the publishers use the trailers as ads when it is a fast one or a nice CG.

More tweets =/= more trailer views. Not to mention Zelda was streamed for a long time so more people had time to tweet/post about it.

Watch Dogs 2 being that high is legitimately surprising if there are no shady tactics involved (ads counting as views)

First game was extremely mediocre in all ways, guess Ubi found their new AC after all

Damn, the disparity between KH and FFXV views. KH was a weird mishmash of disney and square but looks like the brand is more attractive than FF these days.

Well yeah, a lot more people care about Disney than Final Fantasy.

Also, didn't Kingdom Hearts 1 outsell Final Fantasy X in the US?

I am incredibly surprised Watch Dogs is getting so many views. The game's existence is doing absolutely nothing for me.

You people do know this opinion of watch dogs is a massive minority right ? First game was very successful

It is cool to look at views, but it is not a fair way to establish which games are more anticipated.
These trailers were uploaded on different days, some a week apart, and on multiple channels.
For example, the Spider-Man one has several millions of views on different channels.

So yea, not that good of a metric.
