    I love announcements for announcements

      I remember the chill I felt when I first saw an announcement with a countdown to an announcement for the next CoD. I could tell we were going somewhere bad, and this was probably eight years ago.

      It’s up there with trailers that show a teaser trailer preceding the actual trailer. Even better if there was an ad before the trailer played.

        At least it’s not like Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls 6 “announcement.” They didn’t even confirm they’re working on it, just that they plan to build it at some point. According to Wikipedia:

        The game entered pre-production by 2018, formally being announced during Bethesda’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2018 conference. The game entered active production in 2023 following Starfield’s completion and launch.

        So they announced it 6 years ago, but nobody was actively working on it until last year. Yet for some reason they decided to release a teaser for it.

        My favorite types of those are when they flash the text, “The trailer starts NOW!” on the screen immediately before the trailer starts.
