Scalebound was set for that, sadly, another from the E3 2014 line-up

On one hand it was crazy to get a game never expected and no leaks, on the other these long waits do leave games open to taking "forever" if at all to come out.  Personally I like E3 announcements to be games coming out in following 18 months, but I get the desire to make a splash before people are aware of a project.

I actually prefer it if the game is announced within 12 months of release, like Fallout 4 and DOOM. I don't mind leaks too much, because I can generally avoid them if I really want to, and actually seeing a game in action is still a big deal no matter what. 18months just seems too long to me. Feels like it could easily slip to 24months.

18 months means E3 2017 would show off games for 2017 and 2018, nothing coming 2019 and beyond.

Of course delays can always happen so difficult to enforce any sort of parameters.
