At the time the video was published that was gameplay. There is no reason to remove it or rename it. The name is accurate - "No Mans Sky Gameplay Trailer | E3 2014" likewise with the 2015 video, and im sure there was a 2016 video as well, which you have not included in the OP. What you are now saying is that Sony needs to re-evaluate every gameplay clip they showcased in all their conferences in the past and rename/remove it if necessary? Again that makes no sense. I dont expect any developer or publisher to do that. Theres also no tangible way to determine if the game lives up to what was previously shown. Does Sony or Hello Games need to count pixels? Cross check gameplay features? All for a video? I think you should really think this one through again. They have official material of the game, which is the latest build on their websites and other social media platforms. As long as those are not misleading, then i dont see how anyone can fault the developers/publishers here. Also think about how that will kill the buzz of E3 and other similar press conferences. Those conferences are their to showcase whats possibly coming in the future. By design its held to build hype and the devs strive to achieve their vision. But misleading mareting implies that this is something done purposefully to trcik consumers into buying. Its a really harsh stance. I think its particularly harsh on an indie developer. Perhaps if this was done at this years E3 where they showed a vastly different level of quality and had massive features missing then yeah I would agree. But Hello Games have actually gone out their way to make it clear what No Man's Sky is. I |
This is what I tried to get across but you explained far better than me.
