Why remove the trailer scenes?

[Jim]

Spoiler below!

I'm kind of surprised people are asking this question. I like when the teaser scenes aren't in the final game. Plus, if you remember, TDD did the same thing.

Edit: I just realized that you're talking about the mood of the trailer, not about that setpiece in particular. The trailer definitely made the game seem scarier than it was, but I took that with a grain of salt, so I didn't really feel betrayed.

Making a trailer scary is easy. Making a game scary is much harder. When I saw the MFP trailer, I didn't think "That settles it. It's good!", I thought "I hppe it's good."

It wasn't overty misleading, and it's on us to manage our expectations when we consume promotional media like that. IMO at least.
