Is DICE "Photoshopping" Battlefield 3 Game footage?






Is it real or is it Memorex? That's a slogan from a long time ago used by Memorex to sell cassette tapes. Is DICE wanting us to ask the same of battlefield 3 Footage. The folks over at The Game Headz think so:

"Featuring one of the longest lines at E3 2011 was EA’s hit shooter, Battlefield 3. The game looks like it can make the Battlefield run green with money come this holiday seasons. While at E3, something seemed odd about EA’s media presentation of Battlefield 3. After seating us in a small room, Dice made our dog tags, and we were greeted by a screen shot presentation while one of the developers explained what they have shown so far. The odd thing is that they never showed the videos of the gameplay they were talking about. In fact, no gameplay videos were shown during the presentation. Throughout the entire event, Dice only showed screen shots in an almost power point like presentation."






Botchweed also has a story up on this.

What do you think? Is this the same as when Sony tricked everyone with pre-rendered Killzone 2 gameplay footage? How concerned are you about a let down in graphics?

  1. Umm... you did see the video at E3, yes? I don't see why they'd need to Photoshop something which looks so spectacular, but even if they did, it's hardly a crime - every single developer uses edited screenshot for publicising their game.

    Oh, and as for Sony 'tricking' people with pre-rendered Killzone 2 gameplay - just keep in mind that the final game actually looked better than that footage!
