[QUOTE="PettingZoo, post: 4468881, member: 137678"] I'd have to disagree with this since in Australia there aren't many, if any R rated movies advertised on TV Well no it isn't a bait and switch since they've cleary applied text that reads "Not actual game footage" meaning that it isn't gameplay footage. Although the style of the cutscenes play out similar to this ad (visually)/ I guess it just depends on where and when you're watching TV. Well that's not necessarily true since many people do happen to know what World of Warcraft is and I guess also what you do in it (I mean the game is 8 years old and has over 10 million subscribers). Many people do happen to know that advertisements can be exaggerated. [media=youtube]06DKel-XMpU[/media] I mean take this advertisement for example. They aren't showing the actual cables themselves, yet they're showing little colourful icons whizzing about. Would people believe that the new broadband network rollout would cause this to happen? You're right on that, it was a pretty weak point to make. [media=youtube]xMuLzRxrNYI[/media] Here's another new game which features gameplay. I really am not sure what ads you're seeing on TV but most ads I do see include gameplay content and many times where you are shown a commercial with out gameplay content it's usually noted that it isn't in game footage. It does seem pretty bad that for the WoW ads that don't happen to have the footage in it there isn't any note saying it isn't in game footage. Yet most people these days aren't dumb enough to believe pre rendered cgi is game footage so it wouldn't be needed. Again, I didn't manage to word this properly though a sense of discovery is some part key to interaction in video games, a motivation. I am very well aware of this and apologize for my rash descriptions it was uncalled for, but jeez people aren't necessarily dumb is what I'm trying to get across here. People can tell the difference between what is false and what isn't, if people even remotely know what one video game may be like in the current or previous generation then they would know to expect that cgi cinematics wouldn't be gameplay. As well as that if you feel that people are being strongly done wrong and lied to about a product so much to the extent that they may buy the game and be dissatisfied, if they took one look at the back of the box they would be able to tell that the screen shots of the game would differ from the cinematic. As for the cinematic action not telling you how gameplay pans out, well gameplay could do the same. If there was an ad for S.T.A.L.K.E.R that included some gameplay footage people could make assumptions that it is an FPS similar to CoD, etc. [/QUOTE]
