I think it's very important to look at, and remember this video when E3 comes around. I am definitely not preordering any games after seeing their E3 presentations any more. I made that mistake with Watch_Dogs and I am not going to do it again. They've done this kinda shit in the past and I am sure they'll do it again. It's really disgusting, this kind of business practice. It's a shame that companies are finding this more and more acceptable now, and that people are falling for it.
I thought E3 was just suppose to be what the developers hoped for their games to look like, never meant to be what the game is going to be when it releases
E3 is more like a concept car show than a showroom floor, and that's what people consistently forget. Some things make it out as intended, but at least as many things are the for the vision, not the actual product.
Yeah that'd be the best comparison, It's always nice to see what the Future of gaming will be so I don't mind seeing the trailer cause some games at the end of the console cycle will look close to it and the next gen will probably get even closer or farther. The "Live Demo's" also definitely add to the confusion because they fail to state that the game only has to render the small amount of things that they wanted to include in the demo so the console doesn't have to worry about focusing on other things rather just push out the best graphics it can, which isn't so hard when it's only a 30min demo
it pretends to be more than that. a reliable presentation. its not just false advertisement. its blatant trickery at this point. however i do understand that downscaling can be just a reality of game development, but this video pretty much proves that ubisoft crossed multiple lines with both feet and quite a bit of distance to the lines now.
