I am very sad to say that the latest gameplay video has left me disappointed. I understand that most of that video was placeholders, and I mean no disrespect to the development team when I say this but that is sadly not a good enough excuse in my opinion. The Town Square module is supposed to be released in just over four weeks, and all we can see is a two minute clip of placeholders? I am afraid that doesn't work for me. I understand the people defending the dev team, I really do. I know first hand how difficult game development is, but I feel like you are just defending them because of the work they put in without taking into regard the poor quality of the video. The video wasn't great. It is okay to say that without making it a personal attack on the dev team. It wasn't bad enough for me to ask for a refund, but it did leave me disappointed. We were promised a gameplay video to show us what the game would be like. That is not what we got. If everything we saw, from the lighting to the animation, was a placeholder, how is that showing us what the game will actually be like? I just want to reiterate, my problem is not with the poor video. I understand fully that every game is poor before it is released, that is why is isn't released. My problem is we were told we were getting a demonstration of the game, and that is not what we got. I loved the housing video. Why? Because I wasn't told about it prior. That video is how I discovered Identity. I enjoyed the seamless changing of designs and colours, I enjoyed the extensive customisation options, I loved that we were given a commentary. But I would be incredibly disappointed if the devs turned around tomorrow and said, "Now hang on, everything we showed you in that video was just placeholders and not representative of how it will actually work in the game," I would be let down by that. What did the crime video actually show us if half of the stuff wasn't representative of the real game? Now I will give credit where it is due. I think the shooting scene looked very good. I liked how the meth cook character took the shots to the chest, I liked everything about that whole scene. The animations for that scene were even good in my opinion. I also liked how it appears that the drug manufacturing process will require thought and effort as opposed to being handed to you on a silver spoon. However, the rest of the video left me dissatisfied with more doubt than I am comfortable with. The blue smoke was way too obvious. It shouldn't be that easy to detect whatsoever. I think driving seems a bit tedious, having to put on the handbrake, look at the door to get out, etc. Finally my closing statement. I think the dev team have done a fantastic job with this game judging off of the initial two videos. I loved them both. The crime and punishment one, however, left me disappointed. And that is okay. You are allowed to dislike the content the devs put out now, because the game is not out yet and it can still be moulded. Although I am disappointed, I do not blame the dev team for lack of effort or anything of the sort, I simply don't think that video was for me. I appreciate everything the development team have done over the last few years, and my confidence and trust is still with them. This is just my personal feedback, overall I am still excited for the game, it is just this one video has disappointed me, especially after the long wait.

So i have noticed that they have not posted on twitter in the past 5 days and they have not posted on twitter since august 17th. They are usually really good at responding on twitter so i thought this was strange. Lets hope they are planning something big.
