Pre-release Comparisons

During the production of a game the developers will alter, remove, or completely change certain aspects of it. This may be a small, subtle change such as the angle of a camera changing, or it could be a completely redesigned environment. Nonetheless, publishers will release pictures and videos of the game during its development (known as pre-release material) to the public in order to build hype and anticipation. With this early media I have studied the various differences from its final release and compared them side by side.
