SEGA Europe has agreed to add disclaimers to trailers for Aliens: Colonial Marines acknowledging that they do not reflect the final game, as a result of a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority by Reddit user subpardave.
The Redditor originally contacted the ASA to complain that trailers for the game that claimed to be in-game footage bore almost no resemblence to the final game, and were misrepresentative. "I submitted my complaint based on the absurd differences between the 'in game' and 'playthorugh' footage that was widely used to advertise A:CM. Of course, the game looked and played NOTHING like what was shown to consumers," he wrote.
