It's bullshit. I'm tired of it. It gets you excited at first then nothing for years and you either forget or just assume it's dead. I feel a game should not be announced more than 1 year before release. This is just me but I don't buy a console on a promise that something I want may come years later. If I want a system for an exclusive I only get that console when that exclusive comes out. My OG Xbox I got because it had Shenmue II and JSRF already on it. My PSP because it had Ys 1 Chronicles on it. That way I had something right away and knew more games would follow. I held off buying an Xbox One because I wanted that Phantom Dust Reboot and Scalebound. When both were canned I lost all reason to be interested in the console. Glad I waited as nothing on that console was worth buying it over in the end.
It's bad enough when trailers are just CGI and show no actual gameplay. It's even worse when it's just a logo and they say early in development. Get fucked. I may not give two fucks about Star Wars but KOTOR Remake should be a cautionary tale for announcements like Blade or Metroid Prime 4. Some may come out or they may not. Or a Crackdown 3 where it came out but it was trash. Starfield announced in what 2017? Came out this year. Everyone made a big deal that this game is going to finally be THE game to own. Came out and well..sure some people loved it but it was ghosted at the TGAs. Now just making this forum and other websites the biggest disappointment. So not only can the game never come out. Or come out bad. Also can come out and be just fine but after so many years of high promises it can't live up to its hype after years of anticipation. I'd even put Bayo 3 here. I think it's a great game but maybe not worth the 5 year wait cycle from announcement to release and 8 years between sequels.
