Yes, there were big claims before and yes, everyone should be extremely cautious. Never preorder games. It will likely suck, and even then just from the general trend in AAA gaming.

BUT there is a big difference this time around, specifically: they're no longer using their own engine. That does change the equation.

I honestly don't understand why people buy games before the first few patches are released. It feels like paying to be a beta tester.

I feel like it would be a negative change though, as they haven't worked with any other engine since... Forever.

Could totally be a negative change. Could be a positive. Only time will tell.
