I came from the Nintendo 64 with the venerable Perfect Dark...
Microsoft teased Perfect Dark for Xbox, which was one of the reasons why I bought the OG Xbox over the Gamecube or PS2. (That and Halo+Fable.)
Eventually the game dropped for the 360, but the tactic actually worked. With me anyway.

I don't think any developer/publisher intentionally announces a game years and years before release... Sometimes things happen, games may not review internally very well, sometimes technology and scope changes.. So it's sometimes better to restart development than cop a public shit-show and rubbish the company name. |
Gonna disagree here. I think some developers/publishers intentionally announce games years and years before release. The Elder Scrolls VI being announced in 2018 is proof of this. Todd Howard said himself he believes the game will release fifteen to seventeen years after Skyrim. Skyrim released in 2011, so that's 2025-2028. Essentially, Todd Howard announced a game they knew was at least seven to ten years away.
