Quote from: RidgeTop on May 02, 2013, 06:31:44 PMAll that stuff in the demo was EARLY footage, shown more than two years in advance of release. Very often early demos do not reflect the final product. The most famous instance of this was the Halo 2 demo, which was highly scripted and featured a segment that was drastically different in the final release. This is simply the nature of game development. If you look at almost all of the videos and trailers in the months leading up to release, they were made using the final version of the game. As the gameinformer article illustrates, the best way to tell if a game is worth a purchase or not is by reading the reviews to get a general consensus of the game. Naturally the publisher and the developer are going to try to advertise it by showing it looking its best. The developers do not owe gamers a product that meets their satisfaction. Also, there are plenty of film trailers that show scenes or elements that don't end up in the final film. Just look at the Predators trailer.
Quote from: ShadowPred on May 02, 2013, 06:54:10 PMBungie pretty much did the same thing for Halo 2, when they released the gameplay footage at E3, but then again that was early footage, and something they scrapped altogether because they couldn't get it right. The rest of the game had no such problems whatsoever, unlike A:CM that was problematic to everything from the quality of graphics, to the AI that was dumbed down to shit compared to the gameplay walkthrough they showed. Everything was dumbed down, and what people saw was a glimpse of what could have been, but was never meant to be.

I do think the lawsuit is without merit, even though it's clear customers were mislead. Are you going to sue a film studio after watching a bad movie that had a good trailer?
Quote from: Gate on May 03, 2013, 05:02:24 AMThe Demo was confirmed not to be made with the game at all, don't you folks remember?
Quote from: Gearbox SoftwareWhat's been shown of the campaign thus far represents a very small part of the overall game. With what we showed at E3 2011, the intent was to highlight as many different aspects of the campaign as possible within the allotted time: atmosphere and tension, gameplay, co-op, sentry guns, etc. While that demonstration was comprised of things that are in the game, the campaign is a bit more nuanced in terms of pacing.
Quote from: Randy PitchfordThis is really kind of a big moment for us because, you know, we haven't shown the game in action before. And, so you're gonna see what the game actually looks like. Not just screenshots, but the actual gameplay. (...) And that is a quick taste of Aliens: Colonial Marines. It's a section of act 2 of the game.
QuoteUpdate: Gearbox has now commented on the lawsuit, providing the following statement to IGN:"Attempting to wring a class action lawsuit out of a demonstration is beyond meritless. We continue to support the game, and will defend the rights of entertainers to share their works-in-progress without fear of frivolous litigation."Additionally, SEGA provided its own statement earlier today:"SEGA cannot comment on specifics of ongoing litigation, but we are confident that the lawsuit is without merit and we will defend it vigorously."
