The most hyped video games that were underwhelming

These didn’t turn out as good as we had been promised.

Honest trailers can be difficult to pull off. After all, developers want to retain an element of surprise when people actually get their hands on the game. Things often appear out of context and disjointed, and nobody really knows how a game feels until they get their thumbs on the sticks.

Still, it’s easy to be sucked in by the hype when you’re looking forward to a new game. Those flashy trailers do their job, sometimes too well, to the point where player expectation is, frankly, unrealistic. And that’s where this list comes into play – let’s hobble down memory lane and take a look back at the games that didn’t meet our high hopes, dashing our dreams like a skull-cracking on concrete.
