Can someone point me to where it's mentioned that the reveal on February 27 will actually involve gameplay?

Some even seem to think that it will be the actual release. LAWL.

 

[Infinitron]

It's an educated guess, based on the fact that it's unlikely that Larian would ceremoniously announce a date after six months only to unveil another cinematic trailer.

It was originally scheduled for Nov 19, but I don't think it will make that now.

Reasonable, although they might just post Development Update 2. There's only been one such update, and the teaser does look suspiciously like a trailer for a documentary styled video.

Yeah, I'm sure there'll be one of those too.

Don't be so optimistic, they can always play the same cinematic trailer again.

I expect Swen talking for 15 minutes and 15 secs of rough gameplay footage.

we have waited for an announcement for what type of combat the game will have (real time, or turn-based) for longer than most games are are in production. Still, nothing. Never seen anything like it. Something is odd about this whole thing.

Something is odd about this whole thing.

Larian = odd/awkward. The bizarre interviews with idiots. Look at the odd games they make. The characterizations and the "writing" (if you wanna call it that). Also, look at that forum header screencap above: there is nothing aesthetic about it. In fact, it looks ridiculous -- like something I'd post on my blog.

yeah, my expectations are pretty low. I have not really enjoyed any of larians games, they are not ever really my thing. Too much silliness. Sometimes when I have very low expectations I end up being happier w/ the results. Actually this usually seems to be the case, so we shall see. I am probably jinxing this now however by being too 'aware' of the phenomena.

Too much silliness

Cheap, quirky and puerile -- that's Larian. And monstrous/grotesque exaggerations are rampant. Their writing has been unreadable so far. BG had some silliness but it also managed srs Realmslore.

And yeah, it's best to have abysally low expectations and be negative Nancy; that way anything they don't mangle will be a pleasant surprise.

That face look like 10d10 piercing damage.

Their writing is pretty good in Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity,it has plenty of dark in it.

I expect Swen dressed like Minsc and his dog Gustav dressed as Boomer while doing gameplay footage.
