Yeah, this is just another way of saying that Kinect dosent perform as advertised. which is fair enough, because according to you sony and nintendo fasely advertise their products as well... i guess we could accept that, but this is like the 3rd time for M$. first Kinect was advertised as a sitting down and standing up device - no so. the star wars demo at E3 they showed was prerecorded, and Kinect dosent support more than 2 people, as it was advertised to do. okay its fair enough about all this stuff during production, but its not fair to the general mass consumer, who most likely wont be informed about these discrepancies. |
Well to be honest they aren't likely to be the ones to see these videos, not at this time anyway, so there won't be a whole lot of need to inform them that these are target videos, but I do agree if the core consumer is so confused by target videos then of course someone outside of gaming would not know any info about the game. But that's the freedom of marketing, hell some video games are shown off with only videos of their cutscenes if you didn't know any better you'd think the whole entire game was a cutscene.
It's really just marketing like that done for movies, TV, and music hit the video game industry and unlike those where what you see/hear is what you get video games is about the player playing the game so we expect game play footage and people actually playing the game but that isn't always going to happen. The next Call of Duty could just be a real life guy running around in the jungle having explosions going off around him to some war anthem and that would be the marketing for the game and would likely be the first thing someone not in the know would see of the game, though it doesn't show one bit of game play lol it's all about marketing man.
