I think Sakurai is correct. It is important to highlight what makes your work stand out amongst the rest and what you think others might find great about it but only if it has Gameplay footage in between it that really will surprise the viewer in what they are getting themselves into. Having only movie footage feels like deception for a video game because you know that is not what you will be playing in real time, it does not tell you anything you will be feeling or experiencing. It just feels like filler where in a theater you are watching an advertisement than the feature length film. Video Games have been inspired by movies a lot and i get the fact they wish to show off their production values, but leave that for the beginning cutscenes of when you start the game, not when you advertise it and you are going to release it down the line. Not showing gameplay makes the viewer feel like the game might actually be so bad it is not worth showing or that they have not finished anything. That is just how i feel about it.
