Shacknews, you're a gaming news site: you're supposed to know what 'gameplay' is.
Can we please ban shack news. There was literally no gameplay in this trailer whatsoever.
There's sensationalist headlines and there's lying about facts. This is definitely the latter.
hoping that the calling of the batmobile is exactly like that and they just used a free camera for the trailer.

To be honest though WBGames called the video gameplay trailer so Shack News is not the one lying about the title, it's WBGames' channel that lied and labeled it gameplay.
Doesn't mean they shouldn't have changed it but you're overreacting slightly imo.
Wait, why are you guys flaming Shack News for calling it a gameplay trailer when Warner Bros./DC Entertainment themselves called the video with that title? They're the ones you should flame for not satisfying your needs for gameplay, not Shack News.
EDIT: Goddamnit just got ninja'd
They aren't WB's PR machine. If they don't want to call them out on their bullshit, they at least have the obligation as journalists (again, not PR guys) to not just repeat what some PR guy told them without even thinking about if that is actually true.
If WB sends Shacknews a review copy titled best game of 2014. Will Shacknews call the review "Batman Arkham Knight: GOTY 2014"? :v:

you guys realize that the video is ingame, showing gameplay, right?
just because it has fancy cameras doesn't make it cg and not gameplay come on
I'm glad you all actually read what shack said about calling it a gameplay trailer
[quote]A new gameplay trailer shows off footage for the first time, [B]albeit briefly[/B], and it lives up to expectations.

God damn you people are sensationalist. The trailer says "gameplay", they're just repeating it. They even mention in the article that the actual gameplay is brief. Sorry the title wasn't cynical and sarcastic like RPS's was.

So you want every title to be opinionated?

I'm just repeating but, you were referring to my post so I feel I should reiterate.
Shack titled the article 'Batman: Arkham Knight trailer shows off first gameplay' this is clearly no different from Warner Bros doing it. I'm came to expect it of publishers, I resent it but accept it, news outlets should be calling them out on the this bullshit not following suit.
Jesus christ.....I need a change of pants after watching that trailer.
I fucking NEED this game....NOW!

I read the article, but it contrasts the title where they claim it's gameplay and also it's heavily politicized: rather than saying it's not at all gameplay they say the vast majority of the trailer is cutscenes.

There's a sizable difference between saying something "shows off first gameplay" and calling it a "gameplay trailer", just like there's a difference between saying "a group with idiots in it" and saying "a group of idiots".
