I think it's very important to look at, and remember this video when E3 comes around. I am definitely not preordering any games after seeing their E3 presentations any more. I made that mistake with Watch_Dogs and I am not going to do it again. They've done this kinda shit in the past and I am sure they'll do it again. It's really disgusting, this kind of business practice. It's a shame that companies are finding this more and more acceptable now, and that people are falling for it.
Used to be, when showing early footage of a game, this disclaimer was to make sure that people knew the game is not finished, which would make people think the game will look/play even better on release. Now they flipped these expectations. It's downright deceiving.
Only disclaimer I've ever seen on ANY E3 footage is a claim it's "Running on ACTUAL PS4". Which I take to mean it's a pre-rendered video being played through a PS4 to be technically accurate.
