If they had shown the footage sooner the backlash would not have happened.
But since they did NOT show early footage people were expecting the Twilight Princess look. Based upon what they had seen at spaceworld.
This instance by itself show why not showing footage can be deadly. I still don't really like WW, but I liked PH... I think that art style works better on handhelds.
The same thing would happen if they showed Kid Ic and it was a puzzle game... It might be the best puzzle game in the history of the world but people already have expectations.
