Sony has fucked up this games marketing since the gameplay reveal. The trailer they showed weeks ago was running on a old build which looked horrible and yet the latest build people were playing looked great and now it even looks better. Not sure what they're doing.

Developing the game. Just that. If you remember GoW3, the early demos looked way worse than the final game. It was because they were showing real builds, so each time they showed it again it was better optimized and looked better.

The only way to avoid this, is to show fake builds. CGI render targets, trailers rendered on the console but not in real time and so on. Gamers get outraged when games like The Division or Watch Dogs look worse than on the reveal trailers, but they also complain when they are shown a real product, a work in-progress.

If it was already with the final visuals and running on real-time, it would be already released. The videogame community is, unfortunately, extremely entitled. The good side is that the part of it that really cares is small and most people just buy and play games and get their share of fun.

GoW 4 was another case. For year, people complained that the game didn't changed between interations and was always the same. The new one apparently changes some things and now people are complaining that it should have be a copy of the previous games.
