this demo can't "represent the latest build", because it's content (apart from alot of the assets and stuff) is not in the final game

spending time on polishing the scenes of this demo takes time away from polishing up the full game, so I think they released it in a "just good enough" state

So what does it matters if the demo is not part of the final game? That's just a maketing decision. It was probably part of the game at some point. Regardless, It still uses the same engine and assets, and they surely polished things out as much as they could for the event. No one in their right mind wants to show an unpolished demo, might as well just show another part of the game if it has any more polish. If anything the demo might run better than the actual current build of the game as there probably was a lot of presure to work on the demo itself even beyond the rest of the game, given that it was the part that was going to shown.

 

Getting yourself informed goes a long way...


Hajime Tabata: "The demo was not intended to showcase the game’s frame rate, as it was more aimed to let players experience the world. Verifying how dynamic resolution worked was also the first priority as opposed to frame rate."
