Either way we are getting a pre release demo so you will get to see it and try it out before you buy it.
Or they're keeping it under wraps because it won't look substantially different from the previous generation games. If it looks amazing in play, I don't know why they wouldn't show it to generate more excitement.

There hasn't been any real gameplay shown. A few stylized, highly zoomed in, slow motion plays, even if captured from within the game, is not indicitive of the gameplay experience. These are carefully selected and crafted marketing trailers, it does nothing to show the viewer the overall flow of the game and how it will play out when people have controllers in their hands and are playing a traditional top down view.

But I will say, presentation looks slick and I'm glad there is a demo.
