Why did they change the first trailers version of James, aka Sad James?

[I Am Klaus]

Honestly I felt like their first version of James was far more faithful to the original than the current bland James in the gameplay trailer. The complaint seemed to be that he looked older than he should since James is caonincally about 29 years old, and this James looked like he was in his mid thirties, but I think it fit because James is a raging alcoholic, well established by the lore of the original game, and prolonged alcoholism can lead to all sorts of health complications, including premature aging.

He's supposed to look a bit older and more weathered than his biological age suggests because of the drinking and the emotional turmoil he has endured. The sad, wrinkled looking James actually resonated well with his lore, IMHO.
