Yes, the video was taken with a smartphone camera, as I recall.
Now people are going on about the "Made for PC gamers, by PC gamers" thing. Which wouldn't have a leg to stand on, either.
I happen to agree. The only thing I would change is the TacCam getting stuck on objects.
I would remove all "obstacle" for the camera - effectively, the cam would ignore all objects, like in Origins.
That's what I have heard. Sounds like what a previous poster said: The pre-alpha/alpha Crestwood demo was more like a concept car at a car show than an actual TV add with a real car. If the Crestwood demo was in fact leaked it's more like a concept rocket car being shown to a couple guys in a private garage and some dude leaked a personal video of it online and car enthusiasts decided everything featured was slotted for next years production release.
That's pretty much the size of it.
Private demos.
Shaky camera phones, heads in front.
Ah but that cutting and crafting comes WAY before any sort of public exposure in all those other mediums. If you see a trailer, the films already been made. If you see a piece of theatre (unless it's a workshop) then it's the finished product that has been cut and crafted for anywhere between a few weeks and potentially years. If I saw a trailer for a film and it had 70 foot trolls in it but then in the film there was no mention or showing of these trolls, and the filmmaker gave NO comment or justification for this: people would be ****** off and they'd have every right to be.
If stephen King gave an in depth interview about his upcoming book and said it was going to be about a space mole called Gary, and then the book rolls around, people buy it and there is no mention or showing of a space mole called Gary and is instead about something completely different....but he gave no justification or explanation for this.
People would have questions, and rightly so.
But apparently this is ok in video games.
It's not.
And you writing it off as "just part of the artistic process" is also wrong and doing yourself an utter disservice.
but if you go to a convention and scald yourself on hot coffee maybe you can sue the vendor
I've seen many games that do this. They show an area or action in the game that's nowhere to be seen upon release. So does that mean that those game companies to can be sued?
If so, then thats a lot of game companies...
The only legitimate lawsuit is the one with Gearbox.

You brought so much deep facts I'm guessing you are a doctor in game-design, marketing and community management. Impressive. Thanks.
Can they be sued? Yep. Will you win? *shrugs*
We didn't have enough ****** new threads so we had to necro an old one? 
lol
Demand a better ending? Where have I seen that before?
Ah the bane of game developers. We each want it our way and, it's failed, not worth it, bad, broken, etc.. if it isn't. We want EVERYTHING all in one game the second it's released and, don't want to have to pay extra to have any of it.
Sure you can sue them just as you could sue a movie studio for not leaving a scene in that was in a trailer but, would you win? No because you are expected to know that those trailers/ advertisements are done pre release and, it is universally understood that pre release content may not appear in the final released version.

Believe it or not, you basically are accurate with your assumptions (despite the sarcasm)

All over, as of late. I guess gamers think they can control such things...
You mean like this?
As I said earlier in this old-ass thread, that case has a lot more weight to it because of mislabeling done by Gearbox, who touted the demos as a final product. If you notice all of BioWare's stuff is, again, in that alpha/beta stage of development, which is all code for incomplete and subject to change.
Also added to this is something else people again forget, the lawsuit is also about review embargos with Gearbox.

I just saw the OP and responded.

Fair enough. Sorry.
IIRC someone tried to sue them for falsely advertising MAss Effect 3. It did not stick.
No they filed a report to the FTC. You'd be surprised at the variance in opinions on it, but it was ultimately decided it wasn't false advertisement because most of the sources used were from interviews, etc. Also that the endings were thematically very different despite their similarity. I still remember the time Spiko announced he was going to do it. That moment will go down in BSN infamy.
I would like to point out that Origin does have a somewhat generous refund policy.
If the game really is unplayable on your PC, you will hopefully figure that out within 24 hours of launching the game. Then you can return it and get your money back. No lawsuit required.
