The quality of recent AAA games is really uneven, and the AAA masterpieces that have flipped over are not in the minority, and with the release of "Extinction 2", it really responds to that sentence: "Before the release, everyone wants to be cyberpunk 2077, and after the release, everyone is cyberpunk 2077." ”
Without further ado, let's take stock of the famous "trailer scams" in the history of the game.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Children of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 2: Children of Liberty is probably one of the most famous "scams" in the history of gaming, and in the era when stealth games were still popular, the latest sequel, Metal Gear Solid 2, was very loud.
At the 2001 Tokyo Video Game Show, Metal Gear Solid 2: Children of Liberty unveiled a handsome promo that Uncle Snake infiltrated, pushing the atmosphere to a climax, while a large amount of information in the trailer also satisfied the appetite of fans.
All players are looking forward to the release of this new game, which can once again manipulate the handsome Uncle Snake.
When the game was officially released, players found that Uncle Snake was only the protagonist in the prologue of Metal Gear Solid 2: Children of Liberty, and our main operation in the process was a young and handsome newcomer protagonist Raiden, which is also one of the most talked about "scams" in the history of the game.
Although this "scam" deceived the feelings of the players, the players did not loudly curse Konami and Hideo Kojima, thanks to the overall quality of the game, Metal Gear Solid 2: Children of Liberty was widely praised among the player community, and also created a classic character in the history of the game: Raiden.
In later works, "Metal Gear Solid Rise: Revenge" in The Thunder and Lightning is a god of the First World War, sucking countless fans.
The Last Survivor 2
If Hideo Kojima's "scam" in Metal Gear Solid 2 is great, then this "scam" of Naughty Dog is not very clever.
The story of "The Last of Us 2" is now known to everyone, Joel began to die under the golf club like a new person who had just stepped into the apocalyptic world, and then the Virgin Heroine cut through the thorns in the plot, just to let go of her enemy at the last moment.
What players see in the promo before the release of "The Last of Us 2" is that Uncle Joel is still alive at least in the middle of the plot and accompanies Ellie on an adventure, and the new protagonist of the game, The Muscle Woman Abby, does not appear at all in the promotional film.
Neil, the screenwriter of Last of All 2, confronted angry players and said that the "trailer deception" was to protect the players' experience, and this was inspired by the above-mentioned Metal Gear Solid 2.
Screenwriter Neil is trying to correct his own propaganda fraud and redefine what is meant by protecting the player experience, despite the player's comments.
Watchdog
Ubisoft released their new IP "Watch Dogs" promotional video for the first time at E3 in 2012, which was simply amazing and the picture reached an amazing level.
In June 2013, Ubisoft once again released a beautiful promotional video, making players look forward to Ubisoft's great game with unlimited potential.
However, when Ubisoft released the story trailer again in 2014, players had already found some clues, and at this time, Ubisoft was still dead ducks, trying to persuade players that the real picture would be as good as it was advertised that year.
However, after the game was officially released, the player found that the root of what he saw before was "trailer deception", the performance of the game's real machine screen was greatly reduced compared to the promotional film, and the game was also accompanied by the current ancestral Ubisoft optimization, and the PC lock configuration even made the best computer configuration play a full role.
Watch Dogs hence the name Shrunken Dog, and even if the game improves these issues in subsequent updates, the name will remain forever in game history.

Assassin's Creed: The Great Revolution
The same Ubisoft, when it comes to propaganda fraud, we have to mention "Assassin's Creed: Revolution", which is known as bug creed.
Poor initial optimization, scary BUGS, game screen frame number problems, and stuttering problems could not be solved, making the BUG creed a joke at the time.
Assassin's Creed: Revolution is a terrifying trifle! Be careful with eye protection~
Although "Assassin's Creed: Revolution" has two problems: poor optimization of rush work and publicity fraud, it mainly focuses on poor optimization of rush work and bugs.
Of course, the current "Assassin's Creed: Revolution" has lost the problems of that year after patch updates and repairs, but the name of bug Creed will remain in the history of the game forever like the locked water dog.
Cyberpunk 2077
Finally, a typical example of this generation's propaganda fraud , Cyberpunk 2077.
The early publicity and post-release performance of Cyberpunk 2077 make people wonder if the Polish stupid donkey has spent all his money on publicity, so that we can see ads for Cyberpunk 2077 everywhere.
"Cyberpunk 2077" every real machine demonstration, the promotional video can cause a sensation, the official also invited Keanu Reeves to the scene, "preaching" how exquisite his picture is, how intelligent the NPC interaction system is, and the city that never sleeps is a real city.
In connection with the quality of The Witcher 3, players want to play Cyberpunk 2077 right away, remembering that the Yellow Background Announcement Chart that the Polish Stupid Donkey announced that Cyberpunk 2077 jump tickets once became the player's PTSD.
However, no matter how crazy the Polish donkey is blowing, whether it is a mule or a horse dragged out for a walk, everything is known.
The story behind everyone also knows, the bugs in the city that never sleep are flying all over the sky, the game's screen has shrunk greatly, the optimization is poor, the console version can not even play normally and is removed from the PSstore, the Polish stupid donkey reputation suffered a big death, and began to refund the players who purchased the game.
