I'm sorry, I just don't agree. It's not about falling for marketing, it's about using common sense and logical inference.
I don't think anybody expects it to have the kind of image quality and animations we see in the trailer. But, at the same time, I hugely doubt that it will look vastly different the way some of you seem to believe.
Please show me the last time a developer showed off an in-engine trailer only months before a game's release and claimed it was indicative of how the game really looks...only for the game to turn out to look vastly different. Please do. Because that's never happened as far as I'm aware, and even if it has happened it would be the extreme exception not the rule.
Battlefield 4 is still one of the very best looking shooters I've played on my PC and that was a cross gen game on an older version of the Frostbite engine. I think the addition of physically based rendering and photogrammetry alone will result in a game that easily looks significantly better than Battlefield 4. That would put the visuals at least fairly close to the level being suggested by the trailer.
I think the PC version at maxed settings will look pretty similar to the trailer (minus the cinematic flair), while the console versions will be a rougher approximation of that.
It shouldn't be up to consumers to have to rough-estimate what percentage of bullshit was used in a video based on their own experiences. The fault for not knowing that isn't on them.
Almost 4 million views already. You see a bunch wondering even here if it's just different camera angles, or believing Dice employees, or just super excited by the graphics.
People who have common sense but not necessarily computer savvy/familiar with the bs, are supposed to know just how much they are exaggerating with a title slated for future release? No way. Unreasonable.
Nor should they be expected to know the difference between game engine footage and actual gameplay quality in a marketing trailer for general public.
"Vastly different" and "fairly close" depends on how much you can notice, and it changes between people but in actuality it's not going to be. All the settings are going to dropped down significantly.
If that was a PC setting - "Max" the actual max possible graphics that would run decently on top-end would be like medium.
People are saying they're claiming this is a damn PS4 target render, with some involved saying yeah that's how it looks, for real!
Deception.
Just placing that seed of doubt is wrong: "yeah...it
probably won't look this good." They're gaining off that and a lot of it has to do with saying this is in-engine (actually, they say "Game Engine Footage," which is worse).
If it's anything else, they ought to have to say Not Actual Gameplay.
-lol, they do, right at the fucking end after the playstation logo, with the other trademark crap, in small text.
