You have that impression for 2 reasons: 1) There really isn't much room for innovation for gamers, hardware-wise. We're at old technology. It's kind of like expecting your alarm clock to innovate. Things can be done here and there, but we're really at refinement, not truly changing. Just the point on the product curve we've reached 2) They didn't show game stuff here because this was a general public announcement. Want the game specific one? Wait for E3. Which is smart - these are the announcements that make the 6 o'clock news, so hit with them. Then, with this stuff exhausted, you can focus on games at E3 so people don't roll their eyes when you show them some NFL exclusive BS that's 100% identical to the ESPN BS you led off with
Here's the product curve I mean. Depending on where you sit, consoles are either at mature or decline, but no one will deny that they're past innovation. That kind of goes for video games as a whole. People blame consoles exclusively, but we're at the point where graphics can't really get better, at least not in any way even remotely cost-effective, and there's little else to be done. Things like Occulus Rift may change that somewhat, but people keep saying "it looks like Crysis" for a reason - everything is incremental now, changes in lighting and the like mostly, and we won't ever really have the "holy crap!" moments we got the first time we saw ourselves leave bloody footprints in DN3D. Well I maybe incorrect but I think E3 is just going to be about the games. IE the actual games themselves, not what the console was designed to do with the games, that would have been shown today. Where as the Sony presentation was pretty much all about what they did with the system to enhance the gaming experience... but like I said I could be wrong and Microsoft may have left all that for E3, we'll find out in 3 weeks. |

Smartglass, just what people care about.
Get to the games already. Heh only caught the tail end of it but seems like a fail to me so far... seems XBOX ONE is all about 'exclusivity' where the PS4 announcement was all about innovation in the gaming experience... maybe I missed all the gaming features in the first 45min? |

Heh first screen shot, swat guys hanging off of an SUV in a high speed chase, can see that game mechanic getting ridiculous... thumbs up for 'Ponch and Jon' though, would have been hilarious if they used the actors for the voices and theme music on a chase.

Heh, TB says it brought his SLI Titans machine to its knees (well with SSAA on) and is the best looking game hes played yet. Also says it's the best FPS of the year so far.

Exclusive... damn, there goes any hope whatsoever of someone producing niche Star Wars games like a new X-wing. Knew Disney wasn't going to do shit with it but hoped they would license out the brand to anyone who wanted to go for it... not give friken EA an exclusive license... here comes Call of Star Wars 1-infinity. |

Most are ok, Woolite is one with sound. Lysol has sound... heh, after the Lysol one it kicked to another video on how to juice a prickly pear, lol. Bell has sound. Finish has sound (heh and prickly pear juicing) Got a weird one where an after earth ad runs with a notice my video will start in X seconds then after the ad it pukes out... I think thats it. Could be a region related issue, I'm in western Canada... and I did notice that other then the Bell commercial all the ones with sound had the 'play, pause, progress, mute, sound bar' at the bottom... I'm using Chrome... oh and it's only the 4:3 ad box beside the first few news items. |

Krovven wrote on May 3, 2013, 19:05: That half second shot at 1:36 is in the game. http://youtu.be/dIIAeFsx7bA?t=4m14s The lighting is slightly different, and that's it. Lighting is a common thing to have change and not lawsuit worthy. If movie and game companies got sued for everything that changed from trailer to final production, nobody would make entertainment any more. But good on you for picking out a fraction of a second shot in a trailer that has lighting different than the final product. You deserve millions in compensation.
The second example you gave is a pre-rendered cutscene halfway through the game (not in-engine like some of the cutscenes in the game). Which you would know if you had played the game and had any clue what you are talking about.
http://youtu.be/dIIAeFsx7bA 12:06, the exact shot, from a cutscene, that is in the final game.
There are plenty of articles and websites dedicated to listing scenes from trailers that changed or were omitted entirely in their final products. The marketing studios that cut trailers get their material months and months in advance of a game or movie being finished. The material they have is what gets used.
Other lawsuits of this nature go nowhere, and this one will die quickly too. Yup, my bad on the second one, thought it was from the very first cut scene at the start of the game. |

I don't own the game, but maybe someone can address it. Do these look better/different than what shipped? It's exactly how the game looked at launch. Looks better after the 4gig patch. Everyone's complaints are based on the E3 Demo footage. No it isn't how the game looked at launch... Those are not final release game footage, they are using the E3 footage. Pause trailer 2 @ 1:36 that's clearly E3 footage. Pause trailer 3 @ 0:58, again clearly E3 footage... same footage they used on the TV spots, IE not what was shipped. |

Um ya the "work in progress" argument isnt going to work seeing as they used that footage in their TV commercials. Blatant false advertising.

I wish game devs could get their asses sued off for knowingly releasing a buggy product... but it'll never happen. There are no consumer rights only corporate rights and I expect the courts to shaft the consumer as per usual. |
