I guess they gotta return the favor when MS promoted Killzone on their Facebook page.

1.21Gigawatts · May 18, 2014

This is stupid, espeically since Driveclub looks much, much better than Forza.

Reminds me of some Microsoft page that advertised XboxOne with a Killzone screenshot.
Edit: Apparantly I'm not the only one.

Posting a pic of a competitor's game is pretty haram in my book

I remember that!

But still, how does it go so wrong...it can't be that easy to get so wrong.

Tsundere · May 18, 2014

Using Forza screen shots is actually doing the game a disservice.

Wasn't there something where MS showed a picture of Spider-Man on their FB page and people freaked the fuck out?

I guess they're even now.

We have come full circle , still DC looks better so they fuck up in 2 ways .

GarthVaderUK · May 18, 2014

Hah, didn't Sony do something similar last gen with a PGR pic to advertise GT?

I think that was Microsoft.

LOL *sigh* You had one job.

Auto_aim1 · May 18, 2014

Google fail.

nib95 · May 18, 2014

Sony Middle East graphically under selling their title lol. Not that the F5 shot used looks bad, it looks fantastic. But DriveClub looks a lot better.

They could use something like this instead.

dalin80 · May 18, 2014

If memory serves both Forza and Gran Turismo have shown each others pics in PR material before as well.

R3TRODYCE · May 18, 2014

I like that track on FM5.

Mihael Mello Keehl · May 18, 2014

Lol man thats crazy

orochi91 · May 18, 2014

LMAO. This guy definitely hit up google.

TheBioLover · May 18, 2014

If you search "DriveClub" in Google image search, the third image you get is that Forza image. Still pretty dumb.

btags · May 18, 2014

You have to wonder how these things happen. Do they just google their own game to get screenshots or something?

gogogow · May 18, 2014

Yea, same. Why is that Forza pick right up there with the Drive Club ones?

silver.tongue · May 18, 2014

Why does this keeps happening?! How stupid do you have to be to make a istake like that?!

Pathos · May 18, 2014

How does this even happen

That picture comes from a article called: next-gen face off: Forza 5 vs. DriveClub.

It was when they mistook Spider-Man for Spawn. It was like someone mistaking Superman for The Sentry. If you don't know who the Sentry is, that's the point.

Empty · May 18, 2014

it's pretty easy mistake to make. there's not much telltale variation visually between games in the same generation trying to realistically capture real cars and real roads.

"I bet you 10$ no one will notice"

Appollowexx · May 18, 2014

Oops. This reminds me of the launch period where Microsoft's FB used an image of Killzone SF in it's game line up album. Make's you wonder who is actually running these sites and if they even care about gaming or follow the games they are meant to be promoting.

wapplew · May 18, 2014

Cars look alike, it's confusing you know.

The image they chose is the third image when you Google "Driveclub". That's how companies get images for Facebook these days.

Beaten: Where's that BBC image with the Halo trust logo?

The file name is "forza-5-preview", though. lol

Confusion Illusion · May 18, 2014

It is really stupid. You'd think they have like a company FTP server where they can go to get stuff like this, but instead they are using freakin Google image search.

GribbleGrunger · May 18, 2014

Wouldn't they have had to remove the the word Forza from the top right? That's weird to me.

AgentP · May 18, 2014

Maybe the intern used Bing?
