Heh, I something similar happening last gen. I think Sony used a picture of PGR 3 to promote GT (or maybe it was the other way around, don't fully remember).

Edit: Ah... Someone else beat me to the comparison.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

LOL. This is one time you don't want to be using a competitor's game as visual aid. Forza looks like utter shit compared to DriveClub.

Exactly! Not gonna lie, I'm having a laugh at this person's fuck-up.

 

[GeoramA]

I hope that's Forza. Otherwise DC got a massive downgrade.

That's a bit much? Let's not turn this into Forza vs Driveclub shall we?

 

[travisbickle]

They link to the DC webpage in the Facebook post where they could grab the image from the video

It's crazy how big companies' social media just grabs any image from Google.

 

[Cygnus]

Ouch!

Twice the framerate though.

 

[BRocknRolla]

I'll never understand how mistakes like this get made...

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Maybe the intern used Bing?

Gotta get those reward points bruh!

Uhm , are we sure this is an official page, some of their other posts would certainly indicate its not.

Also all the other region specific Sony sites have a blue tick.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Haha nice job whoever is in charge. That's embarrassing.

 

[shandy706]

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

I agree. It's a real disservice to Forza 5 and racing fans. Hurting its sim roots with an arcade game description.

They should apologize to Turn 10 for the insult.

Is that what this is about?

Which posts are those?

No idea on the blue tick thing either, where is that usually displayed and what does it signify?

I don't use Facebook much so it's good to know.

 

[skyfinch]

Using a launch 60fps game to advertise your year long delayed, 30 fps game is embarrassing.

 

[LiK]

LOL. This is one time you don't want to be using a competitor's game as visual aid. Forza looks like utter shit compared to DriveClub.

oh please. and one is 60fps.

There are stupid meme style posts dotted around the time line.

[pelican]

Just as well they didn't use a pic of the Forza 5 track side crowd ;p

 

[infe|2no]

they made my day lol

 

[theWB27]

LOL. This is one time you don't want to be using a competitor's game as visual aid. Forza looks like utter shit compared to DriveClub.

It's amazing what an extra year of dev time, half the frames, and it not being a sim can do for you really.

 

[Goreomedy]

I... I don't know who is being insulted here! Help me, GAF!

 

[VE3TRO]

Oh how I love GAF. Never change.

 

[iMax]

At least he didn't post the wrong video... with that 60fps and all that....

lol

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?

Never forget.

 

[CharminUltra]

Hahaha wow

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

[Psycho_Mantis]

lul

lololol caught red handed

 

[Radec]

haha wtf sony

 

[ethomaz]

lol Sony doing the same marking tricks that MS did with Killzone in the past.

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

It was Spawn

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

lol Sony doing the same marking tricks that MS did with Killzone in the past.

That's a poor trick considering Driveclub is nicer.

 

[Amon-Lau]

How do these people get hired...?! D:<
I'd do better ME Sony! Hire meeeeeeeeeeee~ D8

 

[Spacecowboy77]

Embarrassing..

Obviously their marketing squad are idiots but still, no one does quality control before posting?

 

[bigboss370]

funny screw up.


lawd at people making a serious deal out of this :/

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

lol Sony doing the same marking tricks that MS did with Killzone in the past.

This isn't the first time Sony used a Microsoft exclusive racer to promote one of their own.

[ethomaz]

It is ridiculous... they are the source of the media screen for the game... they can't get that wrong... this is lazy work.

 

[Spongebob]

They're doing themselves a diservice by using a game with vastly inferior visuals to represent DriveClub.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

lol



Never forget.

That was the best one ever, lol

 

[Dragon1893]

Those interns!

Lol.
How do you make a mistake like this?

You sound a bit upset

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

They used a 60FPS picture.

 

[JayEH]

The feel of 60fps.

 

[ethomaz]

lul

Seems like MS is moneyhating the google results lol

I'm kidding.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

They used a 60FPS picture.

[Frodo]

How does this even happen

Like this:

Holy shit, the facebook guy just googled "driveclub" and chose the third picture lol.

Freaking amateurs. You know seriously, only work related purpose i use google for is to look up excel formulas.
You figure there would be someone over there at Evo that he/she could email and ask for a few shots...lol
Funny how that was the only image of Forza when using google to search driveClub, and this dummy choose the only one. LMAO.
