Thank you. it's deceptive at best to market a game like that. Seeing the comments defend bullshit practices like this is terrible. But hey, get those pre orders in, it's Spiderman!

It's because it's Playstation. People would be freaking out if it was EA or Ubisoft

Or a lot of us are just functioning adults? It's not like the game came out and then looked completely different from all pre-release footage. They showed us gameplay of exactly what the final game looks like well before it's out. Where exactly is the deceptive marketing?

Shit like this is why the new Cyberpunk trailer has the giant "DOES NOT REPRESENT FINAL LOOK OF THE GAME" disclaimer on it. The same thing happened with Witcher 3, it doesn't look exactly like it's initial reveal trailers and many things were downgraded during development, yet it's hailed as the second coming of video games.

At this point I really don't understand how people just don't assume that what they see in reveal trailers will not be an exact representation of the final game. I mean, to me these trailers are what the developer is hoping to achieve or how they envision their game. Usually they still face a lot of development time and things will naturally change/be downgraded as more and more gets added to the game.
