What's the most misleading pre-release trailer or hype (including statements from developers, etc)?

John Romero did not make me his bitch.
An honorable mention goes to Gearbox for Aliens: Colonial Marines and to Ubisoft for WatchUNDERSCOREDogs.

Don't know if it counts but Gone Home. It felt like it was being marketed as a horror game.

Look at this shit, its amazing, the AI, the movement, the level of interaction, shit elizabeth has some pretty awesome powers and its a very active character
On the final version the game has been nerfed in a bad way, elizabeth its little more than a dumb AI companion that throws powerups at you while opening the tears, no longer does she actually joins the fight or perform context-sensitive attack combos

>>9731 They use the pre-rendered stuff and then claimed that the storage space needed for all this BLAZING GRAPHIXXXX would cost $1200 if it was in cartridge format.
Somewhat of a fair argument if the FMVs weren't mostly unneeded, the backgrounds weren't just grainy images, and the game itself didn't strain to render more than a few dozen polygons at a time.

Knowing how much Bioshok relied on scripts for everything since the enemy AI was Doom tier I called bullshit and knew to not expect anything from Infinite.
Sadly, my suspicions were validated.

What happened to Splash Damage? They don't seem to know how to make gunplay that isn't shit anymore. Extraction or Dirty Bomb, or whatever the name is this week, also has terrible gunplay.
It feels like UT and CoD in bad thrown together.

Aliens Colonial Marines. Everything devs said about it was a bold faced lie. From bullshit prerendered gameplay shown right before release down to it actually being developed by Gearbox. They outsourced the game for pennies and lied both to consumers and Sega while channeling funds towards Memelands. Absolutely disgusting instance of scamfuckery.

>>11463 We are talking about how misleading it is
Not if we fell for it
That was a gameplay trailer, not a concept one, therefore as far as devs go that was 'the' game, and not releasing that means they lied

I totally bought the marketing hype on Bioshock Infinite. Shilled and defended it on other websites. Felt like death when I played it and realized how shitty it was.
>>11460 Brotherhood was alright. The multiplayer was actually good and arcade-y in that one.
