Madden definitely looks better and more detailed than that teaser does. What it can't do--and will never be able to do--is match the drama, lighting, camera angles, etc. from that trailer. To do that would render the game unplayable.

only one I can think of that hasn't been mentioned yet is FFXIII
Bullshot. (notice the more advanced lighting, as well as the detail in the hair and clothing)
Final.
However this might qualify more as a development downgrade (ala Dark Souls 2)...?
C'mon. There is some difference but the development and final versions are basically the same. If bullshots meant this kind of a downgrade, I wouldn't even be angry.

Can't find a clear pic but Hybrid Heaven had some good bullshots back in the day
Someone needs to make a action game or rpg in that virtua fighter 2 + style though
remember this:

What the fuuuuuuuuuuck.
How naive do they think we were back in those days!?

Prettyyyy sure this was debunked.
FFXIII's early imagery showed much higher polygon counts on dynamic objects, but didn't have the 2xMSAA that the final game does.
In some ways the early stuff looks more impressive, though considering the 3-year gap between the images that featured some incredibly bad development hell, IMO it's sort of shocking how similar everything looks. A downgrade in dynamic object polycounts isn't that weird anyway considering that the final game has its cameras overall farther back.
The FFXIII stuff isn't remotely on the same level as most of the other games people bring up in threads like this.

lmao good find.
I don't need to tell you that the following resolution and AA were not possible on the PS3. Team Ninja always release these kinds of supersampled (I think) bullshots.
Other than the res and AA, though, the shot is perfectly legit as far as I can tell. And I don't doubt that shots like this moved a few copies. (I purposefully chose the least lewd one.)

What? This basically looks the same with different lighting. The bottom shot is more overcast.haha codemasters are the worst offenders.

If there is one thing this thread has cemented, it's this. Man. I knew they were bad, but seeing their bullshot history all laid out like this is a different story. Next time I see a screen from Ubi, I'll know that I might as well be looking at concept art.
Also, the desperation some posters have for discrediting the Wii U in all respects (in this case with the interactive tech demos running on actual hardware, which I went hands-on with at E3 2011) is reaching comical levels.

Simple fix can remove pissfilter on PC version.

Pretty much everything at the PS3 reveal like Gundam, Tekken and Killzone.

Yeah, I went there.
That's from a playable build according to the team, though. Who knows how good it will look on release, but it is from a far along playable game, nonetheless.
With not a single hands-on play through from anyone in the press, and no direct confirmation that it was running on a retail unit (and not a high end pc behind a cupboard), I reserve a high level of skepticism.
All we have seen is the same video of the same sequence, the camera movement and complete lack of any form of difference in any of the videos of it add to my skepticism.
The icing on the cake is the screenshot of one of the animators working on that particular scene in Maya, too.
I think it's doable but some of the screenshots are probably still bullshots:
If they can pull it off at that resolution and quality then it would be really cool. They look amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised if it looks better than the final game. That said, is it possible that the cutscenes are pre-rendered like Uncharted and thus allow for touch-up?
I guess I just think it's hard to judge when we don't have the real game out, so it can't be really called that far-fetched yet to me.

Videogame Magazines in 1994:
Actual Project Reality Graphics!
Maybe he's pointing out the obvious difference which is widescreen vs 4:3
Just a guess.

This was the original
This is what it released as (hell, even this shot is higher res than the real game)
The public found one of those visuals way less dazzling.
The funny part about it is that the Halo 3 beta had the detail map of the E3 Chief intact. Then they changed it because they thought it looked better how it was in the final version. I'll never understand that.
Probably? No way. The IQ gives me the impression that it's been downsampled from a ridiculous resolution.

Wow, never seen that before, I guess it does count even though that "gameplay" looks more like a "conceptual" demo than anything else. Did any magazines print those pictures as actual gameplay?
I remember when people claimed the flower demo wasn't impressive, and now people are claiming it was all bullshit.
Only on GAF.

The OP asked what my 'favorite' one was.
All the other good ones I can think of were already posted.
So c'mon. Buy me a beer.
Yeah, I went there.
Really curious to see what this looks like in actual gameplay. Not saying it's impossible but it's far and away the best looking game on Xbox One if the E3 video from last year is anything to judge by.

The environment's much more lavishly detailed with junk there than anywhere in the finished game. Lighting, depth of field and heat haze are higher quality, perfect shadows. Chris' model is different artistically but much higher poly with even the stubble modelled. Image quality and motion smoothness are a huge step up.

Wow how did I forget about this one. Super hyped for Resi5 and even though the game looked great, it looked nothing like that.
