The moral of the story: Open interviews should be offered toward the end of development. In early development, it makes more sense to offer only focused interviews… to inform the interviewers what generally you can talk about beforehand and limit it to that.

Rog: terribly uninspired questions? There are only so many questions that can be asked when a complete lack of knowledge is so prevalent. If they don’t want us to ask questions they’ve heard before, they need to feed us a carrot so we can run another way, thus fomenting different discussion.

Let’s just as them what they had for breakfast today. I’m sure they haven’t heard that in a while.

I dunno, if I was a dev faced with such terribly uninspired questions, I’d probably go all stone-faced too.

What’s with bothering to include stuff they can’t talk about? Lazy editing on IGN’s part.

I really wouldn’t read so much into this.

They’re smart not to hype up too much because of the nerd-rage backlash that would be created if they needed to push back the release date.

One of my New Year’s resolutions this year, which I’ve stuck by, is not to bother following the hype train on games that haven’t been released yet. Give it a try, I promise you’ll have much more fun in your leisure time.

No doubt SW:TOR is a good couple of years away from release. Honestly I think they are being sensible by keeping their lips sealed because a lot can change in 2 years and nothing is worse than promising things they can’t deliver.

Chris F summed it up nicely. Yet another reason not to talk about an EA game.

They’re doing the “drum up hype and let people speculate” song and dance as long as possible.

I’d like details as much as the next guy but i’m willing to wait.

Now now.

We’ve all been for a ride on the hype train before and we swore last time not to get all over-excited three years before the game comes out, right?

Were they talking to an interviewer or to a Senate Commission?

For those of you who don't want to waste reading four pages of nothing in the article summed it up for you here last week. Sure, we are all getting used to pre-hype, but this one was beyond ridiculous.
