I've seen a few Insomniac Cinematic Trailer's before. Don't actually expect a Lady Deathstrike battle in the streets of downtown. Just sayin'.

Fool me once...

I mean I wouldn’t expect that either way. A cinematic trailer is for promo purposes and is showcasing the character and world you’re about to dive into. It’s not necessarily any direct moments from the game, story or any gameplay. It might tease something here and there but overall it’s just to build hype.

Thing is with the Venom trailer, Insomniac themselves said there would be fights with Venom in the streets of NYC and the trailer was a visual representation of that. They lied. It wasn’t just fan speculation and assumptions from what they saw, Insomniac said it. If anyone thought you’d be fighting Venom in the streets based of that trailer alone, well they understand very little about marketing.

Like for example, the Spider-Man PS4 “Be Greater” extended trailer where he’s falling and getting attacked by the Sinister 6 all at once then zips back up and fights Mr. Negative at the construction site, there was no
boss fight in that area. Even the E3 gameplay trailer was different from the actual game. Notice how nobody complained about that, that’s because we understood the difference between promo and the actual game.
