No gameplay huh? Game Engine Footage Huh?

Sigh.

Edit: Apparently this is a digital storefront issue of when Microsoft lets people pre-order on Xbox Live as opposed to a timed exclusivity deal.

Timed exclusive ability to pre-order the game. I think we've hit new levels of stupidity.

Payback for MS getting the game a week early through EA Access.

 

[John Bender]

Why not just show the damn game

Have to show something during Sony's E3 Press Conference

 

[Mahonay]

I just laughed when I saw the 60fps thing as well.

60fps during loading screens.

Battlefield 4 on PS4 was 60 FPS too, according to DICE. The frame rate in that game is as stable as a house of cards. I've experienced dips that feel well below 30 during almost every match.

I don't trust Battlefront will be anything close to a solid 60 either. But if it looks like this trailer, I'm ok with that.

 

[SliChillax]

It will never look like that. Unless they are doing some magic with DX12.

 

[KissVibes]

You must be new to gaming.

This was a reference to the fact that Sony has been sued multiple times in the past few years for false advertising and other issues such as this.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Well...I doubt it will look like that even on PC. But I would be happy to be surprised.

 

[UnrealEck]

Representative of PS4 but not actual gameplay.
lol.
Why not just say 'Sponsored by PlayStation'?

What does that even mean?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

This.

I will never understand these bullshit trailers. Just show us the actual game being played, not some scripted, in game assets, cinematic trailer.

People in this thread have already said they think that's how the game is going to look or confused if what was shown was gameplay. There is your answer.

 

[On Demand]

what does "representative of PS4" mean? Was it actually running on PS4?

It means it's not going to look anything like that and developers need to stop setting bullshit expectations on consumers.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Payback for MS getting the game a week early through EA Access.

Seems to be Microsoft's policy nothing to with Sony going for the timed exclusive pre order

 

[Z3M0G]

"In-engine footage"...

- could still be rendered 1 frame at a time using assets the actual consoles cant render in real time
- no gameplay shown
- lots of scripted character animations here that will never actually happen during gameplay, which makes it all look better than it actually will
- cinematic camera work that has the same effect

Yah... I get nothing out of this trailer...

what does "representative of PS4" mean? Was it actually running on PS4?

Absolutely not. If it was, they'd state that clearly as a brag.

 

[FATALITY]

I'll give you the animation part but everything else I expect to be close on my pc.

no it wont lol

 

[GHG]

If it actually looked like that then why not just show some gameplay or even better, have made the trailer using only gameplay footage?

Oh that's right, because it fucking doesn't.

 

[Slixshot]

Where does it say 60FPS?

 

[Baroquemantic]

Trailer was hype. I hope they show more soon.

 

[keltickennedy]

Can't wait to see Sony catch those hot lawsuits for false advertising.

The message at the end of the trailer "Game engine footage representative of playstation 4. Not actual gameplay" keeps them safe from any lawsuit.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Representative of PS4 but not actual gameplay.
lol.
Why not just say 'Sponsored by PlayStation'?

What does that even mean?

A prerendered video created with the engine and game assets, played on a Ps4.

Spoiler

I have no idea...

 

[Welfare]

Seems to be Microsoft's policy nothing to with Sony going for the timed exclusive pre order

Oh. What kind of policy is that?

 

[Oshimai]

Can't wait to see Sony catch those hot lawsuits for false advertising.

What?

 

[Slowdive]

Where does it say 60FPS?

We’re making sure, first and foremost, to ensure it runs at 60 frames per second on everything because that’s what delivers the best gameplay experience.” Alongside the game running at 60fps, it’s clear that graphical fidelity and photo-realism is high on the agenda for DICE.

[TrutaS]

Game engine CGI doesn't hype me much. Excited to see actual gameplay though!

 

[illmatic22]

Salsashark what happened

 

[Systemwarrior]

HOLY SITH!!

 

[Gnome Scat]

Those trees are gonna be a bitch to navigate around.

 

[RoboPlato]

Is there a 60fps version of the trailer out? Anyone pixel count it? It'll be interesting to see how they define "representative"

 

[KissVibes]

Payback for MS getting the game a week early through EA Access.

But that is Sony's fault. So how is it payback?

 

[Jakartalado]

Well..... Disappointed.

I was hoping to see something fun. And I just watched what it looks like some cuts from the movie.

 

[Cmerrill]

This feels like the new "Killzone 2" trailer from years back. Although it came close, it wasn't nearly as nice. Especially the animation.

I'm hoping to eat crow.

 

[hawk2025]

This was a reference to the fact that Sony has been sued multiple times in the past few years for false advertising and other issues such as this.

...such as EA and Dice showing a game trailer?

By all means, continue.

 

[NIGHT-]

Yea.... I don't expect it to look anywhere near that good on ps4. Not a huge deal, still gonna be day one for me

 

[Kain]

60 fps? Not believing until I see it first.

 

[jbug617]

Ah I see. That makes more sense.

Preorders and Preload for Xbox starts when a game goes Gold. They did it for The Witcher 3 yesterday.

 

[Trey]

"Game engine footage"

So false advertising then? cool.

Tale as old as time.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Hey guys, remember when I was considered target fidelity?

 

[NIGHT-]

Feels more like that bs Motorstorm trailer lol

 

[Richard the Lionheart]

Trailer was hype. I hope they show more soon.

I think we will get more during E3. This was the first info dump on this game besides the initial announcement.

 

[Helznicht]

OK, lets be real, If they had a demo that looked remotely that good, they would be trumpeting it from mountain tops, not be all cloak and dagger.

 

[jelly]

Wilhelm scream at 0:33, yup.. it's star wars alright.

I wish that would die a horrible death in a fire and never return in anything.

 

[StevieP]

Tale as old as time.

People are still falling for it. Look at this thread and the others. That tweet will be quoted until the end of time, even after release probably

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Is it real 60fps or BF4's 60fps?

 

[Z3M0G]

When is this supposed to release? A trailer like this makes it feel like it is still at least a year out...

 

[N.Domixis]

SONY exclusive marketing rights!

ok trailer

 

[Kriken]

Timed exclusive ability to pre-order the game. I think we've hit new levels of stupidity.

Uggghhhh >.<

 

[TeddyBoy]

Trailer was a little disappointing but I was always buying this game.

Literally just preordered!

 

[Hockeymac18]

Payback for MS getting the game a week early through EA Access.

Payback? What?

 

[Mesoian]

Yeah, okay.

When is this supposed to release? A trailer like this makes it feel like it is still at least a year out...

November.

Don't trust it.

Let me reiterate from yesterday:
