Fool me once | |

In Response To: Re: Watching Movies (Miguel Chavez) : You've just proven my point. Thanks. :) : Thanks again. You can't fool me by agreeing with me! : No the answer is for them to make demos when they're more comfortable in
I'm not sure how that helps. I don't think the problem was that the E3 demo and the end of Metropolis are different. I don't think the problem was that the Halo 2 announcement trailer and the end of Cairo Station are different. I'm saying that for reasons various and sundry, the situations in the trailers were more dramatically satisfying than the gameplay portions/in-game cutscenes they became. I don't think releasing trailers closer to the game's release date, or making the trailers more closely match the final content of the game, is really the issue, because it wasn't necessarily the existence of differences between the two that was the problem. It was the nature of the differences. A cutscene that was more representative of the game simply would not have been as impressive as those demos were. That might have lessened the disappointment some felt, addressing the issue that way seems to me to be putting the cart before the horse. Or the plow. Or... whatever. |
