Hype versus speculation is an interesting subject though.
Once another game is made public everything becomes hype.
What are the developers going to do this time? The grey area is where the mind wonders and ultimately lets a couple of people down when they have these high expectations from word of someone who isn't on the inside.
These days it almost seems as if that hope is what drives part of the fanbase for a series.
While there are still people who are just happy to see that they are making something new.
