9 HUGE Video Game Spoilers That Were Ruined By Marketing
Death of a main character? Put it in the trailer.
Thankfully, video game trailers tend to have a handle on what to show and what to hold back on. Where you can rarely watch more than a minute of any film trailer and know precisely how an entire flick is going to play out, gaming has the benefit of being able showcase mechanics, art direction, the world itself or just the introduction of a new character.
Death Stranding has yet to truly reveal itself, yet we've had multiple cutscenes and lengthy teases, all building to a game that I guarantee even as you play through it, will remain pretty mysterious.
So far, so good.
Occasionally though, whether it be a naff studio getting access to an entire game's worth of footage to make something that'll sell no matter what, or a publisher just not realising something was supposed to be kept under wraps, things can get out of hand.
Yes, these instances are rare, but boy have their been some humdingers over the years. Everything from main character deaths to entire plots once you realise how to connect the dots - here's hoping you weren't affected by such ridiculous oversights.
