I’m really starting to hate video game teaser sites. All they seem to do is build up hype and unfounded speculations, which usualy end in dissapointment. I remember when Square launched a teaser page showcasing the Chrono Trigger pendulum; I started thinking (read hoping) that they were FINALY going to announce the third Chrono game, or perhaps they were going to make a new 3D remake, similarly to the way they remade FFIII and  FFIV, but no, turns out it was just a port to the DS.

And then there was the Metal Gear teaser page, which we talked to lenghts about, and as we know now, turned out to be for an iPhone game. (Really, who wants to play a neutered version of  Metal Gear Solid 4 on their iPhone?)

Now it seems to be Sega’s turn with Project Ringo.

Why even bother doing this kind of advertising? Do people really get excited about games when they don’t even know what it is that’s being advertised? Why not just tell us what you’re making, so we can actually start speculating about the cool features the game may include?  And really, when was the last time you were excited by one of Sega’s products?

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing againts Sega, I just don’t believe they carry enough weight to have me excited when they don’t anounce a new game.
