yes, but to give justice to the upcoming game, larians, & gamers; maybe too early a preview will be bad in the long run, especially when u have people on their highest hopes which nothing in reality can ever reach. many will get disappointed & frustrated & angry for the final product did not fit into their notion of it when all that previews & sneak-peaks & such gave their imaginations too free a license. something like that.

i rather wait for larians to make it finer & very clsoe to final, then release info on it. that way, changes made on the game will be minor & gamers who anticipate it won't be disappointed when larians decide to make dramatic changes to the game in its early stages.

think of westwood studio's C&C: Tiberian Sun. anticipation ran so high that nothing the developers do will ever sate the unrealistic expectations. i can say, personally, i was disappointed with warcraft 3 when it came out as it played a bit too much like the old warcraft 2 mixed with warlords battlecry elements. not even close to the word 'innovative' or God forbids - 'breakthrough'. i hear the same story regarding neverwinter nights when it first came out. hardcore fans felt disappoointed as the final game wasn't like anything in their expectations.

it's good to have hype. but too much will kill the game even before it hits the shelves. i hope larians will tread carefully in this marketing area.
