Posted earlier in this thread: Gameplay in a month with an "R"
January
Febuary
March
April
September
November
December
We can scratch December off the list, as the game is supposed to come out on the stellar date of 11/11/11. I am also inclined to rule out November, as the notion of Bethesda not revealling any gameplay untill the release month is just silly.
E3 this year is going to be on the June 7th weekend, and if they don't show gameplay there, I'll eat my copy of Oblivion. Based on that, I think I can rule out September.
That leaves January - April.
It's unlikely that they will show off the gameplay this soon after the reveal, especially since the new issue of GI is just now circulating, So I am reasonably sure I can remove January from the list.
Febuary, March and April are pretty hard to determine, so this is the part of my post where I disengage logic and just go with the gut feeling.
I want to say Febuary is mostly going to be interveiws with devs, podcasts and perhaps the odd screenshot or too. I predict more articles about gameplay mechanics, combat and AI improvements and more on their "Dynamic Snow" (hopefully). While the info will be ravenously devoured here on the forums, I suspect it will mostly be geared to up the hype for the game -- to leave us wanting more.
March -- More screenshots, more interviews, more feedback from devs. I suspect they will talk alot about development, setbacks, obstacles, and things they are looking forward too. Still in "hype>info" phase. More information than Febuary, but probably nothing substantial.
April -- This is when they will finally start pullling the curtains back. I feel that this is when we will a gameplay video, though it will probably be shallow and mostly there to show that the game works without going to deep into how. I assume that they are saving the real goodies for E3.
So yeah, my deductions.
