Any particular reason you feel the rumored lineup is not great? That's disappointing because I felt like last year was ALRIGHT. It would suck to have two years of a so-so event.

To be clear, it's only the IP lineup that I'm not vibing with. I don't know what the deal with the originals may be. But the IPs are just...fine. Nothing I would actively dislike, but nothing that really gets me excited. Other people may feel differently, but for me there's nothing that's really exciting

Especially if Zero ends up being Dead Exposure like people on HNN have been speculating

What's the thinking here? Dead Exposure was top 3 for me in a strong year, but even a decade ago, the concept felt slightly dated. I don't know that today's teens and college kids relate to the idea of black & white photojournalism illuminated by flashbulbs.

Really don’t think they care much if people relate to concepts. Who relates to scarecrows?

The people of Gotham city, for instance. Me too after last year. One room was so dark I had no idea where I was going and I was terrified I was going to collide with someone or knock something over and make someone mad. That's the sort of thing that actually terrifies me. Usually I go through the mazes with a big dumb smile on my face pointing at things and saying "I LOVE THAT" over and over. I'm not overly susceptible to jump scares, but one that is a true surprise can still get me occasionally. I just love the whole experience. Unmasking the horror changed my life. heh heh

Oh man.. I was full fight or flight (which turned in to jump vertically because neither is an option) through that room every time.

one time my friends got WAY ahead of me and I had to walk down that hallway alone...traumatizing and fantastic. You never knew which ones were real or fake! brilliant design.

This thread gives me a headache.

I check it every couple of days - and it's literally three pages of "BEST YEAR EVER" and then the next page is "THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE AWFUL".

I'll be excited to see whatever is announced (or not) this week. I will say I was amused with the "Coach" codename and Poltergeist though.

No doubt - still frustrating to follow. But I guess frustrating commentary is better than none at all.

Either way - I'll be there in October as excited as ever.

I will say, I doubt anyone is going to say "best year ever" based on the IPs alone. It's all in the execution, of course, but it's not a slate that lends itself to instant hype.

hmm. I'm not sure I can think of any new IP that wouldn't get ANYONE in the speculation community hyped. I don't really like StrTh, but I'm hyped as heck to see demogorgons IRL.

See, I disagree.... if what I think is the angle they are aiming for, and there is a theme that ties it all together.

If there's an angle/overarching theme that brings them together, maybe, but I hadn't heard anything about that. From the IP names alone, I just kinda shrugged.

The blogpost made it sound it like this year is supposed to be a blast from the past theme, hopefully they carry it out. Just looking at the speculated IP’s everything seems to fit the old school theme except Cult, which even then tied back to the 60’s

If Zero is an IP, it has to be video game series Dead Rising. I think people may have nailed it with Charlie McPherson.

Damn, reading this worries me. I’m usually super excited for HHN and it’s one of my favorite events. I hope the line up doesn’t suck.
