I think the recurring idiotic comment that I read as a reply is 'Bah if you're smart you won't be fooled, it takes an idiot to be fooled'. Ads are known to be deceptive in general, but in the gaming industry, if you look back, the more you advance in time, the less accurately does it convey the feelings. At least there are still blunt honest studios like Naughty Dog. Love 'em. This here is true: With a non deceptive trailer, you can watch it after playing the game and say 'damn yeah..I remember how much fun I had.' It can become one of those awesome nostalgy flashback videos. If you know someone who hasn't played the game, you can pass it on and say 'Yeah see that video, THAT is the game..it felt like that!' (Uncharted 2). With deceptive yet cool trailers, you pass it onto people who haven't played and go 'Yeah..see that trailer, it's real cool but it's nothing like the game. The cake is a lie!!!'.

There is no denying that the trailers are misleading. There's nothing wrong in contrasting elements, but it would be nice to pay up eventually. I have the game on my shelf and I haven't touched it yet. Knowing that it's not what the trailer shows, I know it's fast and a carnage. Even knowing that I would expect the game to at least provide me with a solid story, or something to fill in the 'emotional' slots created by their fantastic trailer. If the game doesn't do this, I will be disappointed. Yes, even if I know what to expect of the gameplay. There is still something that isn't complete. It's like a broken sidequest. Fail! For now, in the theme of the 'zombie' and a slow paced impression, the closest I can think of is Siren, since you can't go running around like a maniac in there.
