In the past, peeks at coming attractions were probably easier due to them not being a total rewrite. The bits and pieces so far look like mile stones on an otherwise longer road than we have previously endured. We have gotten spoiled over the years since the beginning of this show and tell game we always joke with "Two Weeks".
Yes personally, I would like to see more than the mud puddle at the door way to the VH. But, the recent collection of responses by Hitech are not like the past when we could push him for more each time leading up to the release date. Proximity to the release date has always been the trigger for copious show and tell. Or, solid mile stones as the new project is fleshing out on track with things tangible for the average member of our community to value as a peek into progress.
I'm still wondering if the existing look and functions of the game will be what we see when we run the new release for the first time enhanced by the new terrain and lighting engine. Or will we have completely new objects and functions to go with the new terrain and lighting engine.
Is this an engine upgrade to spring the current game forward to 20xx as a beginning platform for later new objects and game play functions? Or, will it be a total package forward jump of everything to rebrand the beast?
So far as I can remember, HTC has gone the tight lipped route except for once, and has not gotten bit in the rear over promising the moon and disappointing the fans with a search light on a pole. Consistency and working with what can be delivered within the technology of the game. At least this isn't Government Motors.
