They hyped the game too much with
this. People remember. If they don't deliver the game from the initial trailer which, to be sure, was astonishingly polished and beautiful, then the people will and should be angry and will
and should demand a refund, no matter how good the gameplay or story is.
Outright false advertisement is actually punishable by law. I can only hope CDPRED delivers. If they do not they deserve the outcry from their consumers.
The point was that if you advertise one thing and produce something else you deserve all the flak you get. Like I said, I hope they won't do this but based on the shoddy gameplay videos it all points to that. I haven't preordered anything, nor have I talked about preorders. I have no idea how you got that from my post. Polish up on that reading comprehension first.
The
vast majority of advertised material is of the allegedly downgraded quality. You have nearly an hour of gameplay footage, while the footage used to argue the existence of a downgrade amounts to less than two minutes. By the time the game will come out, there'll probably be more of the said downgraded material. Let's say... an hour and a half? But I'll stick with an hour, the minimal and unlikely scenario.
Come May 19, a buyer who will want to see some material to base his decision upon will have 2 minutes of supposedly upgraded footage, and 60 minutes, give or take, of supposedly downgraded material, of actual gameplay. You mean to tell me with a straight face that this is false advertisement, and that someone is entitled to a
refund due to the
least updated and oldest material a company has released?
I try to stay away from this thread, but curiosity keeps pulling me in, and then these overly dramatic comments convince me to respond.
I told u why..To deceive the viewer. To make him fool!
If anything, they're being very honest with you. Here you have nearly an hour of the actual gameplay.
Before the release of the game. The only case in which they're deceiving you and making you a fool (have that in any more dramatic?) is if they release the game and it looks nothing like the 37 minute gameplay, the 6 minute griffin hunt and the 12 minutes of new material.
You guys are forcefully trying to raise a scandal, and you're butchering the circumstances.
Even if the material is downgraded, in no situation is this false advertisement, because you are exposed to the
updated game,
before you are required to make an
informed purchase (meaning, no pre-order, but on May 19 and beyond). Let's go with the very unlikely case of someone being exposed only to the VGX trailer, and buying the game based on that alone (I hope you guys agree with me that this is extremely stretching it), then if we're bringing in law talk into the discussion - caveat emptor.
There is no false advertisement. If a person purchases a game based solely on material that is nearly 2 years old by the time of the game's release, without doing a minimal additional google search and study of the product, then he only has himself to blame.
