announcement showcase!

A "significant amount" of information doesn't mean the information will be everything that people have wanted to hear. It just means there will be lots of it.

They have a new expansion to hype up and that is inherently big. Anyone convincing themselves (or others) that this must involve that thing they've been asking for ages is setting themselves up for disappointment.

Expect a trailer and expansion into. Be pleasantly surprised by anything beyond that.

Oh no, I'm not expecting that kind of thing. It'll be the standard fare, of course, potentially some news on their tests with cross-datacenter capability; its been a while since we've heard about that, but I'm only speaking of the amount of information, rather than what it might be. I think you are drastically misreading my tone here, I'm not really convinced of anything more than what we usually get, but since there's only two events I expect to get more of the normal information in each than we've naturally come to expect between the typical three events.

I feel perhaps I was misrepresenting my own thoughts there, but I'm really just talking about the "amount" of information, as we already know what to expect in a general sense.
His wording just implies that we'll get more than we'd usually do with just a single fanfest keynote—that's all I'm taking from it.

Everything else usually gets revealed during the media tour (which probably doesn't exist this time), in-between interviews or is detailed on the dev blog before release. I expect it to really be no different than before, just that the info from all three fanfests is being reorganized into two events, rather than three.
