Man, you young folks must not have been around for E3, or all the various leaked E3 presentation builds of games over the years.

You can pull off some amazing looking stuff with just scripting the hell out of everything and only showing what you want people to see. Toss in some obviously unfinished stuff to make it all look more legit.

Gameplay "demos" that are not open to the public to mess with are just ad reel by another name.

Did those games you’re talking about take gamers money first, and then subsequently failed to release much of anything for the next thirteen years?

Kinda sorta not the same at all.
