DICE/EA have been really shady about the way they've handled the marketing for BF3. Their entire marketing campaign is based off the fact that the game is going to look next-gen and be the most graphcially amazing thing in the history of ever!!! All they've shown to prove this has been PC footage, but they did that with full knowledge that most of their customers will be coming from the console crowd. They are the ones that built up unrealistic expectations in consumers. Why are they marketing pc graphics to the console crowd? The game looks good but the reality is it will probably only looks slightly better than BBC2. Those are bait and switch tactics. They deserve to be called out! It may not have been false advertising per se, but you can't deny that their tactics have been shady.

I thought they already showed footage of the PS3.

they did but in a private viewing....or atleast that was what was said by an EA person. Personally i think the ps3 footage looked great...minus the large amount of muzzle flash...i think that was a little to much.

 

I do agree that DICE sorta brought this on themselves..they should have shown a trailer during E3 for consoles. Not saying DICE shnould have lean more toward promoting consoles over pc..but showing so much impressive footage and building everyone up so much will cause a back lash...however i think people are being unrealistic thinking console and pc could have looked the same. Im happ with what I seen..tho now im curious to hear what DICE has done for the XBOX and some lighting system they worked it...hopefully they dont build this up too much.
