[QUOTE=redBadger;49361978]Videos removed already[/QUOTE] Well that's not a good sign.
[QUOTE=I am Error;49362435]Well that's not a good sign.[/QUOTE] What kind of AAA developer wants in-dev alpha footage shown to the public, especially if it's most likely under NDA
[QUOTE=I am Error;49362435]Well that's not a good sign.[/QUOTE] A developer removes videos that break an NDA of an alpha? That's terrible!
[QUOTE=I am Error;49362435]Well that's not a good sign.[/QUOTE] All the footage is getting taken down. Alpha is in an NDA, so it's to be expected. They even state in the article that they probably won't be up for long. It's not like they're trying to hide the game up till release. We will most likely have a non-NDA beta due to every preorder getting into it. At least for PC as far as I'm aware.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;49367323]they probably don't want people to realize it sucks balls before they get the max amount of preorders possible[/QUOTE] Then they would keep the videos up because everyone who's played it said it's awesome. And also because it's still breaking the NDA.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;49367341]I meant that they have an NDA in the first place because they don't think the game is presentable, besides people said shit like DayZ is great, that game sold millions and it is really bad. of course people who pre-ordered to get into the alpha aren't going to admit they fucked up and the game is crap either[/QUOTE] No, they have an NDA because it's a closed alpha. Every closed alpha ever in existance has an NDA, even closed betas sometimes do.

And from footage alone it looks good. Just because a game has an NDA doesn't mean it's bad.
I swear to god, everyone is so fucking paranoid nowadays, anything a developer does has to be some huge conspiracy to apparently somehow trick people into buying their game as if all developers are just pure fucking evil.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;49367396]DayZ still sold over 3 million units as of january 2015 and they still say they're in alpha. a game doesn't have to be good or even technically competent to sell millions and have tons of people say it's great the footage looks extremely generic and bland to me, just like watch dogs. but that's subjective[/QUOTE] Oh sorry, I didn't mean Day Z was good. Day Z was just a cash grab. By a guy who made a mod that was backed by a company that wanted more money. The footage may feel bad, because every player that's released footage seems to suck. But like you said, everyone will have a different opinion. The beta which should be next month or first/2nd week of feb. (Thinking Jan so they have time to go through the feedback). That will be on PC, with better players, so if someone does still have their doubts, probably wait till then. I doubt it'll have an NDA.

There isn't a single game on the market that's like The Division. The closest thing is Destiny and that's not even truly open world.
