Elite: Dangerous Launch Trailer Feels A Bit Deceptive
The Elite: Dangerous launch trailer was released today. Many might feel let down if they purchase the game based on this preview. I haven’t played the game myself, aside from some combat training, but I’ve watched plenty of alpha/beta/gamma content to understand it isn’t a full representation of gameplay. The trailer clearly states it doesn’t feature actual game footage, which is a good point. It was still an interesting trailer, but I hope people do more research before buying. I’m still looking forward to playing it. I haven’t noticed anyone else discussing it yet. I’ll take down this post if someone adds one.
The trailer appears to showcase something different from the actual gameplay you've experienced. It highlights the excitement of the upcoming release while emphasizing that it doesn't match the footage you've seen before. The bold text about "actual gameplay footage" likely aims to build anticipation and clarify expectations.
Simple solution: avoid purchasing games using pre-made trailers. Perhaps I’m being unreasonable, but someone who spends money haphazardly will end up feeling let down eventually—often.
Absolutely, I've placed the order ahead of time. My choice came from watching numerous videos of players enjoying the game. Based on what I've seen, I'm confident I'll have a great time.
