@Sekiberius24 As a programmer who worked with game devs, the OP is correct and you are wrong. A vertical slice is finishing one tiny section to demonstrate it. This was not present at all, the shown things are meant to be completed at the time they are shown. This was a 'bullshot' or a 'mug's eyeful' visuals intended to convince the buyer it is more functional than it really is. A vertical slice would have feature complete content, gameplay, etc. One quest in a single finished location for example. X minutes of finished gameplay content. They didn't advertise it as a vertical slice, they provided only some clips not a playable section and claimed they had working weather mechanics that are not implemented yet edited them in. A vertical slice doesn't get removed from a game either, why undo work? It was never in the game.

Where is the 2d art & skyboxes? Okay, mechanics aren't ready, but what has the art team been doing? Where are the Points of Interest? Where is the level design? Where are the conceptual advancements? Are they just remaking classic wow in unreal?

@jkballuh23 i'm sorry I've not played it, only seen this video. Does it have the dynamic plants reacting to the weather and dust storms demonstrated in the video 2 years ago as well?
