This is you not understanding how game development works. When a game is in progress, developers throw every affect they can at it to make it as beautiful as they can. They aim for the ideal. Then, when the game is content finished and being scaled for performance, they remove things until they can hit the performance they need; wherever that line is.

It's not a lie, it's a "this is how we hope the final game will look but it will probably change by necessity before we're done." It's a reality of development. Some people need to stop being such whiny, crybaby bitches about it. Don't base your opinion of a final release on a 6 month old trailer. There is no shortage of footage of any given game for you to look at during launch and see what the final product is.

Hey downvoters, try to refute a single thing I said. Try to have an argument instead of just butthurt downvoting and moving on. You can't, because you're being ignorant, whiny morons and you're wrong. When people talk about gamers being gigantic manbabies, this is what they're talking about.

It's kinda like why every single thing thats shown before a game comes out includes a tag saying this is alpha footage and subject to change. It's also pretty funny that people seem to think they went through the trouble of adding real time reflections only for a trailer so they could remove them later on, like it was some diabolical plot to waste a lot of dev time on something no one noticed

I think that was also a point of contention. Because if you watch the 2017 trailer it doesn't state that this is an early build or alpha of the sort. Regardless people really shouldn't be losing their shit about something like this.
