You can tell when a game's good and bad judging by its footage.
2014? So developing it for three years isn't enough they need another? Geez. Just give it back to Spike since it's more or less the same with the exception 4/8 players in the battle arena. Tag Team was aiming for this kind of game so this isn't anything new or ground-breaking.
Super Smash Bros. 4, Mario Kart 8, Sonic Lost World, Super Mario 3D World, Gran Turismo 6, TMNT Out of the Shadows, Watch Dogs, Pacman Ghostly Adventures, Hot Wheels World's Best Driver, Batman Arkham Origins and other games simply by their gameplay videos were proven to have an great gameplay value so why the hell should this game be forgiven? It shouldn't and won't.
It's a bit of a different situation regarding fighters, though. The games you listed are from other various genres that are more easy to get an impression of from a video since you can pretty much get the gist of the overall gameplay just from watching a person progress through a section, as well as being wowed by other features that are integral to the game or pop up during a stage.
Unless the game being shown is blatantly abysmal and unrefined, fighting games on the other hand are a little big more difficult to judge just by watching alone, especially with liscensed games based on anime, which are more simple and often don't punish you for not understanding the fundamentals and using all the tools in your arsenal unless you're playing on a high difficulty. Depending on what the player does, you may not actually get to see the real meat of the game come into play if all they do is mindlessly screw around and mash buttons for the same basic string or move. If your first taste of a Budokai Tenkaichi installment was a video of someone just dashing all over the stage and only dishing out basic moves(that aren't even strings and combos), you'd probably feel the same as you did when you saw that BoZ Freeza battle clip where the player was pretty much doing the same thing.
Going by the very few videos we've seen so far of the game, it's pretty foolish to outright claim the game sucks and is worse than another installment seeing as said videos haven't really displayed any actual flaws or broken gameplay as of yet. Maybe lacking some flash and superficial things like certain alternate costumes, but there hasn't been anything fundamentally wrong.
