Yep. First gameplay trailer for F4 was shown 4-5 months before launch and we already saw a short in engine trailer for Starfield, a whole year before release. Trolls are getting desperate trying to downplay the most hyped game in history.
well....not really though. Fallout 4 is an established IP, they can do that, this is a new IP. I'm more then ok if they want to do a media dumb with info throughout the year vs how they did with Fallout 4 as this game needs to more, its a new IP, we don't know shit about it.
Keep in mind, Starfield was announced lonnnnnnnng before its first trailer and all that other info came out, so its not even a Fallout 4 type situation, its not like we JUST heard about this game this year or something. So I bought Fallout 4 day 1, I'm buying this game day 1 and I'm not downplaying shit, I'm telling you it makes more sense to market this more as its a new IP and gamers need that information about its world, gameplay and other elements sooner and more of it then Fallout 4, a game set in a established world, concept etc.
They can be setting themselves up for a flop too as many might be buying it based on what they "think" it is vs what it really is simply based on lack of information. So....understand I'm disagreeing with you cause I want the game to do well, but shit man, I also want them to having a fucking fighting chance as a new IP and they need a bigger marketing tail and much longer.
Fallout 4 can get away with that as we know what Fallout is, ask anyone what Starfield is and all we have are guesses and assumptions, how much longer until that backfires into unrealistic expectations based on this odd marketing? Starfield 2 have a 6 month marketing window, I'll have no argument for you sir, I only say this as a massive difference exist between Fallout and this game in terms of marketing, PR etc.

"You know what else was ahead of schedule and in the final stages of development? BF 2042. That's all PR talk." lol yesssssss now every game that states "ahead of schedule" or "runs surprisingly smooth", thats when you have to start to worry, especially if its a new IP.
