Should triple A publishers reconsider when they reveal games

Getting gamers excited would be what I'd think when it comes to announcing games. I mean TLoU2 hasn't even showed gameplay, it was just a trailer/teaser to say " it's happening".which is no issue to me. It's not even an issue when some games do show gameplay as I full well know things can change over the cycle. Anthem showed some of it at E3, am I assuming it'll stay the same? Hell no, I've learned things change over time AND few games ever look like their E3 version.

As for revealing when you're only a few months away from launch: I'll use Andromeda as the perfect example of why this can backfire. First the hype is at a high when you reveal so close to launch where as if you tease a year before that hype can slowly dwindle. So I'm comes Andromedas launch and that hype leads to high expectations, expectations that don't get met. Furthermore Andromeda showed issues in its teasers and such from animations to some of the in game design changes compared to previous iterations. Because it was so close to launch you did have people doubting it to get fixed in such short time (and I didn't).

Honestly there are pros and cons to revealing to soon and waiting till the last few months. I think you have more time to market if you reveal soon as possible where as you have to go all out when you reveal months before launch. Furthermore I think even fan hype varies, as I said earlier, the hype can dwindle when you make a reveal but the actual thing won't be out for a year or two so you better have some good teasers in between to keep people salivating over it where as revealing months before it's harder to lose that hype momentum. I'd also say fixes are more believable to a game revealing early compared to one revealing so close to launch.

I think most business standpoints is to reveal as soon as possible (to market as much as possible) and revealing months close to launch is probably the most consumer friendly (to get the best perspective on the games firm like sofa said above

You don't know about a game - you don't worry about it. That's what I did with ME3. It just was suddenly on the shelves.

A great example is Shadow Of War. A sequel with a lot of built in goodwill. Announced with mere months to go and e3 right around the corner. This teasing a game years ahead serves no-one and is pretty pointless in the long term.
