They've gotten really fond of it this generation and these trailers are usually shown off years before release and tell you nothing about the game. Sony does realize they're marketing video games right?

They're at the point where they showing off random cutscenes as a trailer now.

It seems like a problem with most AAA games.

It's called bullshot.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Sony has easily been the worst with it this generation.

Microsoft has done it a few times but no where near as many

Ubisoft did it with that Pirates game but IIRC they generally show off a gameplay demo

EA doesn't really do it that I can think.

Nintendo rarely does it. They do like to announce games with a logo trailer sometimes though.

Same here. It really speaks for the developers when they believe in their minds that the consumer only cares about cgi cutscenes.

They've done this with;
- The Order 1886
- First two trailers for Uncharted 4
- First two trailers for The Last of Us: Part Two
- Spider-man
- Death Stranding (two or three trailers now? Still have no idea what this game is supposed to be)
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Detroid: Become Human

I'm probably missing some? Horizon: Zero Dawn, Days Gone and God of War are the biggest exceptions.
