What's really funny is that you thought it was real in the first place. How the heck could anyone figure that that CG was real gameplay?
Come on now. During E305, it was a popular (not universal, but popular) opinion that Killzone and Motorstorm were in fact real time, and indicative of the graphical quality PS3 games would deliver. You can try to spin that now with PR blurbs about "in-game assets", "sped up dev kit screenshots" or whatever else, but it was very much believed by many people that Sony's talk about being the "real" next-gen was 100% true, and I saw more than my fair share of Wallguy/Killzone guy comparison .jpegs.
In fact, I'd say there were
still true believers all the way up to E306, when Motorstorm (and the rest of the PS3 line up) actually appeared.
At this point, I don't know who's more irritating. The trolls who constantly point out that Motorstorm looks nothing like the target render, or the fanboys who say it looks better.
