Probably the biggest bait and switch I've seen in a game trailer

Aside from the whole "hurr durr corporations are teh evulz" thing, the first 1:22 looks promising.  Then we see the gameplay...

That was nice of them to include a couple seconds of their game in that trailer advertising their game.

evil mega corporations are a staple of cyberpunk settings and by staple I mean ridiculously overused trope to the point of parody.

At first it looked like a cyperpunk version of Splintercell and then the gameplay showed up. It looks like a ground version of Hybrid if you know what the game is with shitty graphics. I think it's safe to say these people just killed their game with this trailer. You go from something that looks interesting to something that looks like a boring mobile game. Activision should hire these people to help make Destiny 2. Now that would be a real good bait and switch.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
These are the guys that made Crackdown 2, and disregarding the choice in setting, it was a sound game. I'll wait and see how it turns out.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
I dont see the problem here.

When you were watching the trailer before the gameplay came were you expecting it to be something completely different? For myself I was picturing the game to be a cyberpunk version of Splintercell. At 1:08 up to the point she jumps I was expecting the gameplay to be you landing and you are fighting those machines in a third person view. Lets face it I'm sure the majority of the people that seen this were expecting the game play to be something completely different than what it is. The problem is that during the first part it was something remotely interesting which baits you in and when the gameplay comes up it's just one massive disappointment. It baits you into something that looks interesting and latter it completely switches to something that's a massive let down.

It's a world building trailer for a game that is completely different than what was first being shown. The CGI is seen in a world that looks dark and gritty which is making the game out to be a first or third person shooter. The gameplay on the other hand looks nothing like the CGI world due to it being colorful and artsy. For the gameplay you go from a CGI trailer that is making the game out to be some first or third person shooter to a side scrolling type of game which was not hinted at all. It's a massive bait and switch due to the CGI advertising a game that is nothing like what it was being shown and hinting.

Alright. What do you think a CGI trailer mirroring the gameplay would look like.

And do you expect CGI trailers to always 100% mirror the gameplay. You must be let down quite often.
