2011 gameplay demo walkthrough video was a lie, then

[OpenMaw]

It's not different than the Doom 3 E3 Alpha or the Half-Life 2 E3 Demonstrations.

The content was recycled and reused throughout those games. Either assets, sounds, bits of geometry, it's all in there, and i'm sure most of that demonstration is in the game in some fashion or another.

Wonder if they can get in trouble for that, or if they can go 'alpha footage subject to change' and face no consequences.

The latter unfortunately

I don't believe it's stupid to be mad when the marketing for a game doesn't remotely reflect the quality of the product you are purchasing.

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. What I am saying is that it;s stupid to be mad about a demo level that never showed up in the actual game. I provided a video of a similar thing with the Halo 2 demo that was shown at E3, another situation where a level never made it into the actual game. I don't remember anyone dying over it, don't see why anyone should for this game either.

Problem is, the A:CM demo was overall alot better than the final product we got, not the other way around.

Yeah...yeah.

Dude has a point. But this sort of thing isn't exactly that uncommon either

Yes, I understand that, but my point was that being mad because a level doesn't show up in the final product is not something that's worth anyone's time. It's happened before, and it'll happen again.

This is about as bad as Hammerpoint Interactive and their cover up with the war z's missing advertised mechanics and gameplay that's not actually in the game. I said it before and I'll say it again. There truly is no hope for video games.

Well, 343 is doing a great job with keeping my faith alive.

I'm just not going to get my hopes up or have very many expectations when it comes to future titles. I'll just be watching from afar to see what happens next.

So everyone would rather have the game rushed and cramed together? Don't you guys have enough to complain about already?

Despite over 6 years, the consesus is that it's still rushed...What's your point?

[reecebomb]

It's a lie because the guys were acting, as if they were really playing the game. They were just mashing the non working buttons.

[Keg]

Game developers have done that time and time again over the years. Especially with trailers or teasers so far away from release. I remember the ones for MGS2 in particular showed an incredible amount of footage that never ended up in the game, some of it created deliberately to make it look like Snake was the main character (and keep Raiden a secret) and some of it was just cut from the game.

There was shots of Snake on a suspension bridge fighting a harrier, Snake on the tanker while Rex rampaged above him (on the deck of the ship which never happened), him running away from corridors exploding behind him and also from water crashing through the ship. Then they also inserted him into some scenes that in the actual game were Raiden.

I would have thought the "Work in Progress" disclaimer was a giveaway...
