This title is going to arrive this year. Microsoft placing developer diaries on live is a pretty powerful indication. Once they start arriving your working under a deadline. Whether the title is ready or not. Microsoft will probably force it through before the year is over.
What confuses me is how fellow posters claim that there is not enough information about this title. There is a veritable mountain of information. So you should be able to form rudimentary judgments. I suspect what people really mean is they want a review, because its not a known franchise, and thus isn't automatically good. Which is actually kind of sad. That a game isn't given the benefit of the doubt unless it is a sequel. Now you know why we get the same game every couple of years.
The Story is probably very good given that it is going to span three games, and it is inspired by mythology. Which almost always means a strong back bone of material to work from. The character building seems to be very deep given it is a skill based system, and not prone to recycling like a level based system. The cinematic work looks wonderful, and the music seems to be done well. Even the combat looks entertaining. Should even be deeper thanks to the multiplayer online component.
There isn't a logical reason to be skeptical of this title. We are hardly ignorant about exactly what it is, or what it aspires to be. Nor are we ignorant of the scope of this game. This game is supposed to be good enough to justify two follow up titles. The only reason people seem to be skeptical is that there is hardly any hype, and as long as people are skeptical their will be no hype. Give Microsoft some time and a major add campaign, and the hype will probably show up I suppose.
