Forums - Gaming - Microsoft Uses PC Battlefield 4 Footage in Xbox Promo

This is not a big deal. But given the recent online storm over BF4 resolution issue in consoles and COD Ghosts resolution issuse this is a big news. Another fanboy fight is coming.

Edit 1: For the record.

Microsoft Uses PC Battlefield 4 Footage in Xbox Promo

 

The Backspace to access Battlelog gives away their deception

It’s pretty well known that the Xbox One version of EA’s awesome Battlefield 4 is running at 720p on the system, which puts it at quite the graphical disadvantage when compared to the PC and even the PS4.

Microsoft is sponsoring a “Battlefield Showdown” tournament of sorts, and is promoting it on the official Xbox Youtube channel with an Xbox-branded trailer for the showdown. The problem? The game footage (despite having an Xbox logo watermarked on it), isn’t from the Xbox 360 or the Xbox One. It’s from the PC.

How do we know? The upper right corner shows the “Backspace” button to access Battlelog. The Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions don’t show the backspace key there.

Shame on you MS.

LOL wow. I get spin to make your product look better, but this is just flat out lying and deception.

Am I shocked? I am not.



Pretty shady, no excuse, it's false advertising imo. Not surprising though, Ms has always used shady tactics.



Is this really considered false advertising?
I mean...why don't companies just always do this? It's not like there's a penalty for it.



Is this real?

It's a showdown to show us the xbox1 power, and instead they put PC footage there, thats false advertisement, they are misleading customers into thinking thats what the Xbox copy is like. We shouldn't have to "give them a break", they should stop treating us like we're stupid.

Sorry disagree, this is dis-honest to the fullest....they dont have confidence in their own product? it is NOT the same, we all know what a high end PC can do, it is certainly not something the x1 can match. Fasle advertising.

It's crappy Youtube quality, it doesn't look anything like the real game anyway!
