Developers don’t want to show gameplay at E3 anymore
So the gaming community reiterated loudly and clearly that it doesn't like being lied to with "gameplay" demos crafted specifically for E3 that share no code with the actual game being developed (looking at you, Halo 2), and the dev's takeaway was "Don't show them any gameplay."<p>I would hope we could collectively rally against this sort of behavior by refusing to buy such games that refuse to preview any actual gameplay. But I doubt that will work, given that Dead Island sold five million copies[0], based off what I can only assume was due to enamor with the trailer.<p>[0]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Island#Sales" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Island#Sales</a>
