I'm tired of the extended hype cycle, I'm tired of developers creating games 'in partnership with the community,' I'm tired of knowing every little detail about a game before it's out, and frankly I'm tired of watching developers and publishers clown around with Big Secret Stuff only to have it leaked all over the internet like a blown brake line three days before the embargo. It might be something of a relief to finally be able to admit what you spend all your time working on.Īndy Chalk, NA News Lead: A month or two, tops. Once there's a reveal, at least you can mention it by name. It does seem weird when something is revealed years before it comes up, but thinking about it from the developers' perspective, it would be kind of weird, maybe even a real problem, to work on something for years without ever telling anyone what it is. I'd say six months is a great amount of time between the reveal and launch, but even hearing about a game a year before it comes out is usually okay. I don't like the tiny Hansel and Gretel scraps of information leading me on a painstaking journey through the Wilds to Morrigan's mum's cottage, but that part of me was happy to find out back in 2020 that the next Dragon Age game was happening instead of waiting for that confirmation until, well, a year or so from now probably.Ĭhris Livingston, Features Producer: I like a bit of anticipation, speculation, a good teaser, a proper trailer.

The other part of me has been a Dragon Age fan for 12 years and has spent eight of those waiting for the game now titled Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. Lauren Morton, Associate Editor: The rational part of me only wants to know about games a few months ahead of time for the same perfectly good reasons you've all given.

Time wasted on lol
