Why remove the trailer scenes?

i cant believe this thread exists, what even blows my mind is for how long its stretching

Seriously guys, it's common sense. They didn't want to spoil the game by doing that. Player sees the familiar area from the trailer, in which the monster appears so what surprise is there? none. It would be cheap to do that.

Yeah. It made sense to me. I thought it was successful in setting that up. When I recognized the basement from the trailer, I got terrified. Especially when the light started flickering. I kept hiding when I saw that happen. Expecting the monster to start breaking down the door. But nothing happened.

I would have liked the cage room to be as dark and scary as the trailer. But I don't feel cheated. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and was effectively scared by the few encounters it did have.
