Reggie on CNN: "3rd-party games like CoD look dramatically better on our system"

haha come on man..listen to yourself. I doubt the next COD is anywhere near the final stages to be even compared! I doubt he has seen anything of it as well. The guy just outright lied and got caught. Similar to the it's not the same game it's not the same content nonsense durng E3 (I think it was E3)

I know what he said was inaccurate, but (realistically) all of these companies do it ... Remember Microsoft's DirectX 10 sales pitch?

They took (one of) the most technically backwards DirectX 9 games (Halo which was built around the XBox and saw a rough port to the PC years later) and compared it against one of the most teachnical advanced DirectX 10 games that required a system that was (well over) 10 times as powerful simply to run.

 

 

I was pointing out that most marketing is slimy and slippery and they try to make the most outrageous claims they can make without directly lying. Realistically Reggie probably has seen third party games that will be released next year and probably feels comfortable making that claim today; even though what he said isn't correct.

 

Now you are moving on to something entirely different. And yes others do bs like this too and they get called out for it as well. Doesn't make outright lying like this acceptable.
