Circ Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Blah, site's eating my posts for some reason.Basically, the capitalization stuff looks like something you'd see off an old MySpace page. The event's gonna be good, just... jeez, marketing needs to step it up next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averixx De Avalon Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Has anyone seen the little white bus over on the construction pics? What do you think it will be used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Oh, hey, look. It looks like the reveal will basically be on the 27th. Shock.And if those details are all their releasing every hour, that's almost as disappointing as the videos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychotics hijack a bus from an insane asylum let loose on a fall festival? Just a guess 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandry Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We have all these discussions about how bad marketing is, then some say it's because they're marketing the GP and don't need to worry about long time returning attendees. Yet everything that's been sent out can't mean much more to a first timer. In fact, most must be thinking what the hell did I just watch or read? Critical's post about the 14 year old being on the team was hilarious. If they want to keep it generic, keep it generic across the board. This mash up of drivel is a waste.

ScottEdmondson41 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 How about how the Twitter just said someone was a fool..they're role playing essentially, playing a character. It's all in fun and the people should realize that. And this supposed to be a mature, scary event. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this supposed to be a mature, scary event. I wouldn't be surprised if someone cries foul that they were called a fool, has their feelings hurt, then complains and the Twitter feed gets shut down. Such is the PC world we now live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averixx De Avalon Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I was called a fool, and I am so loving it. LOL. Honestly, it's supposed to get to you. It's not "Universal" it's "JacksManiacs". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have and should have been way better than the last two weeks have a twitter overtaken and whatever. It's the 25th for goodness sakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is the PC world we now live in.if they can't call people fools (which really isn't that bad, at all) then we might as well cancel every Halloween event/haunt ever.

hunnylvr Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I find the Twitter commentary they are putting out to be entertaining. So, I'm easily amused, I guess. I think it's great they are responding, and also posting other pics and drawings. I agree this should've been done sooner, but what the hell? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThNdIzNiR Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 So we are going to get an opportunity to see those 2 characters who were sneaking around get shredded by Jack's blender? If so, I can't wait. They deserve to be put through the blender for that underwhelming performance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalanalysis Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They're not winning anyone over by doing this. They can literally tweet "Hi" and it'll get retweeted. If they're trying to gain NEW fans of the event this childish marketing is a turnoff. If they want to lose existing fans then this is a good way to do it. If they're wanting to maintain a fanbase people want to think HHN will play into an overall scary theme, not some random Hot Topic ramblings of a 14 year old. I don't know why people are excited about this year.* Terrible marketing and social media* Too much IP use* IPs that are worn out* Other than Blizzard pretty boring originals (Anniversary will be a letdown, Alice is cheesy 3D, etc)* Scare zones which are not themed well AT ALL (nothing I've seen yet looks like it takes effort)* Zero cohesion, mismanaged icon use, etc* Questionable release schedule (if Scream is out then they absolutely should've released an original) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who just go because hey, it's a big name event lets do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who just go because hey, it's a big name event lets do it.I agree, hence why they don't need to bring IPs back as much. They can have more creativity (which put them on the map), please every fan, and bring in more merchandise sales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandry Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This rushed weirdness is at least something but it pales to their past amazing creativity. Maybe they're now like, "hmmm, we have a little ad budget left, let's go crazy. You, intern, go nuts." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
