That's a protoype tech demo. Made after only two months since work on the title began. It's running on a non-final Playstation 3 development kit.

Quantic Dream (the devs) highlighted that: "It's just a sample of the things achievable in a limited amount of time".

And that during the development of the prototype they were still: "Only in the middle of research and development efforts".

Basically stop trying to hate on it, that video is probably as far from the final version of the game as you can get. The devs have also stated that the video, and characters from the prototype, aren't even part of the game.

Companies that really (truely) care about quality rarely release anything to the public which does not live up to their high personal standards ...

Do you think Valve, Epic, Bioware, Nintendo, id, Blizzard or any other high level publisher would allow something so crappy to be released? I would set my expectations low and hope to be surprised.

 A small company like Quantic doesn't have the benefit of cachet as those companies you listed. Small companies have to show whatever they have in order to get noticed by those with money. And guess what, their work got noticed and now they have the funding to make a game as great as a Bioware or Nintendo title. 

Happysquirrel, you would make a terrible record exec. You would hear every demo tape from fresh new bands and bitch and moan about the sound quality sucking rather than noticing that perhaps with a little studio time with a good producer these bands could put together something like the Rolling Stones.
