Are games being announced too early?

Really? Where was Nioh announced in 2004?

Stacraft Ghost was announced in the early 00's, yet we never got it, but we did get something close to it 2 years ago with Nova Covert ops. Not exactly the same game as Ghosts, but it takes ideas from it. 

 

Just giving an example of something that existed years ago, but gave way to something similar. Just wanting to say that if someone was announced back then and changed drastically, that doesn't exactly make it the same IP in the current timeframe. 

 

This means that if Nioh was truly announced back in 04, it would have to be quite literally the same in design. If anything has changed since 04, then that means it is not exactly the same as what was announced years ago.

From Dinasty Warriors like to Dark Souls like. It's the same project, mind you.

Wow, thats actually crazy. It looked nothing like it does now which means they probably canned it a couple times during development and reimagined it. I didn't hear about it until it was close to release. Its funny how it didn't receive any attention unlike TLG and FF Versus.
