I suspected that it was old footage. It was clearly for internal purposes.

I love his reaction. "Baka we didn't want to wait for E3 anyway"

they probably should have said..... "6 month old build running on PC with SLI Titan's".
Well the card did have 6 GB of RAM, but that doesn't really change the art assets being unfinished.
That internal presentation could also started with the announcement from a dev: "We have 300+ new assets from our outsorcing studios in China, 3 new engine updates and new lightning pass already ready, but they weren't rolled into the build that was used during filming of this trailer a week ago". 
Modern games sometimes really come together only in a last 6 months of the production. E3 demo will most probably receive mad levels of polish [and crunch time].

This is very true, actually I would say even less than that.
I wish more gamers realized this too.

HYPE!!!
I'm quite liking the thoughtful modes, hopefully the execution for the modes are good.

Not into Battlefield, but love the reaction. Glad he came out with the situation the way he did versus cursing and screaming at the internet.
I hope the industry's growing inability to keep secrets leads to more transparency. I don't think it was really a big discussion point on GAF, but MS announcing the Gears IP purchase and project as soon as it went through was very interesting. Much more akin to how the film industry announce projects as soon as a producer is attached to a script.
A friend of mine works at Visceral... he has always been a huge fan of DICE/Battlefield so this is right up his alley when it comes to "IP's I wanted to work on." I'm guessing the other guys at Visceral working on Hardline feel the same.

They did the same with the TF1 lifetime exclusivity deal. They didn't even give Zampella or West a call to let them know what had just happened...
I think it's wise, it's not like the meltdown from seeing TLG is going to be impacted by knowing of it's existence for so long. Barlog basically confirmed he's directing GoW4, we probably won't see even a hint of it till E3 next year, but people will still lose their shit.
There are companies that do a good job of keeping things secret, R* for example, but for most places, just confirming stuff as soon as possible is going to avoid people spilling info before you want it out.
Obviously the TF thing was a fucking mess because it just angered Respawn and got them to basically confirm TF2 for PS4 straight away, but if MS had handled it better, I think like the Gears thing it would have been very wise.

Yikes
I remember some interview with neil druckman about the development off uncharted and the last of us where the game actually became fun to play in the last year. often things move very fast in the last 6 months.

The number I've heard is four months.
There are good games that were horrible for a long time. I agree, I wish people considered that more.
Excited to see more Hardline.

Watching that trailer it looks like it is basically Battlefield:Special Forces 2 Cops Vs robbers edition.
Especially with the whole, grapple hook and zipline thing.
