I just read it on IGN. It's disappointing to say the least but there's still a lot of time until it launches and this is just one man's opinion.

Even if it will end up being crap that wont matter since it looks good. Todays "gamers" (actually mainstreamers) dont care about the gameplay in games but about A) the visuals B) action C) ads on tv etc. So as long as it has propper marketing it will sell because the game already delivers in A+B

That didn't help Beyond: Two Souls or Ryse all that much. As for the marketing aspect, it's obvious if you market a game the better it will sell. So of course even if you heavily market a poor game it will sell, but it can only sell so much on marketing. At some point quality does override marketing.

Yea but the effect seems to help a lot more the bad games. There have been more bad games that sell well do to marketing. Remember wonderfull 101, wich sold poorly due to lack of marketing mainly and it was greatly praised, much like many platinum games. It seems that marketing is the most powerfull drive force to get the game started, then it needs its quality to keep it selling.
