Well, we aren't going to get game-play anymore when a project is far away from release. Developers have learned their lessons there. The smallest difference and we have people screaming, "DOWNGARDE OMFG PRE-ORDER CANCELLED," and comparing shadows in slow-motion. Never mind that game-play often has to be mocked up and really is not supposed to be indicative of the final product. If I were a developer, I'd definitely go the CGI route.

Well, some developers have nothing to be ashamed of, look at Horizon, announcement + insane gameplay at the same time .

And some others like ND can show pre alpha like the PSX footage because we know them and trust them, we know they are tech genius, and we saw a huge improvement between PSX and E3, only 6 months ( but yeah some called downgrade at PSX but it's funny to put them to shame when we see how it's really close to in engine trailer now, and should match these visuals since they have still more than 10 months to work on the game), so that can be a positive thing too if you can upgrade your game
