Well, there is a caveat to all in-game footage – the footage may be from the engine, but it may not be actually running at time of the screen shot.

So this could be from a PS3, but they are only rendering the scene from one particular vantage-point – so nothing else of the map is loaded into memory. They can then add more detail to the scene for the screen-shot, giving us lighting effects that would never work once you are actually playing the game at 30fps.

This was brought home to me by Arthur Gies who remarked that you should never trust any footage or screen shot unless you can see someone playing it on the specific console, with a controller. 🙂

Look at E3 – literally 95% of all next-gen games were running on dev PCs. They may say it is in-game footage, but it may not strictly be from the console unless it states “In-game footage from the PS4”

Tricksy buggers!

Actually the Xbox is 8 years old that’s almost a decade

Maybe in your country mate! Here in the UK console gaming lost it’s stigma in the in the mid to late 90’s when a late night gaming show called ‘BITS’ came along. It was presented by 2 British chicks and a Canadian and was very wild and colourful. It made gaming edgy, cool and more acceptable for adults. There are vids of it on Youtube. Then the Nintendo DS came along (which was originally aimed at kids) but much to Nintendo’s surprise it was adult women who were buying and loving it. Because the DS was a huge hit with adults and kids, they decided to make the Wii a console for all the family, which in turn smashed any stigma that surrounded console gaming. Even pubs and old peoples homes have Wii sports nights here in the UK. However, PC gaming in the UK still very much has it’s stigmas intact. There are truths to stereotypes. I have 4 friends who are PC gamers, all 4 are now late 30’s early 40’s, only 1 has ever had a girlfriend (it didn’t last 5 minutes), 3 still live at home with their parents, their PC gaming friends are very similar. I think the only time they leave the house is to go to some kind of convention like a Star Wars, Star Trek or comic convention, oh and to the cinema every now and again. It’s all pretty sad and unfortunate.

Yes everyone is apaprently a stereotype retard.

Its also funny that you are a troll that apparently likes to argue on which prebuild crapbox is better the paupestation or the xbone?

Hell even people comparing ios to android are better becasue there are things to compare, you on the other hand have the same trash for many years.

Yet you seem to spent so much time in the internet arguing about it and somehow try to appear “cool” You know some years ago “chicks” didnt “dig” consoles either.

But you are gonna make up bullshit to piss me off.

Epic FAIL! Everyone knows that PC gamers are basement boys and bed wetters who still live with their parents. You all like to shout about how superior you are compared to console gamers and how powerful your PC’s are. Between playing on your PC’s and shouting about how great PC gamers are online, where on earth do you find the time to do anything, you know, normal things, like go outside and hang with friends and meet new people, spend time with a girlfriend, or even a find a girlfriend, because we all know you won’t find one while playing on a PC or shouting about how great PC gamers are over the tinterweb. Chicks don’t tend to dig that shit, you know what i mean! You all just shut yourself away in your parents basement and waste your life doing meaningless poop!

Matt, you are such a big troll you dont even make a fuckign acount, so the stereotype is pretty strong with a spammer.

I think there will be a next gen version coming, because Rockstar said that all images are from ‘in game’. Saying the images are in game may well be true, just in game images from next gen versions.
