Usually when I see a game commercial on TV, it's nothing but a collage of cut scenes from the game. I guess this is to be expected with this generation's focus on graphics, but I don't like it. I expect that the cut scenes are going to be beautifully rendered pieces of digital animation. What I want to know is what it the gameplay is like? Showing a little bit more of the game being played is a bigger selling point to me, since that will be what I spend most of my time looking at.
Also, live action representations of a game may be fun, especially since I love cosplay, but has the same concerns. It doesn't do anything to show the product. I guess it's just all hype.

Thoughts?
