Well that was quite obvious wasn't it? You can't expect games at E3 to run on retail hardware, 6 months before launch. Sony is probably doing the same thing. As a matter of fact, these are target demos. Actual games aren't gonna look as good. And that applies to both consoles.

And to be perfectly honest, I am more concerned with the PS4 right now. That thing is disturbingly thin. How the hell do you fit an HD7850-7870 equivalent of a GPU in there?

Nope. This isn't normal, specially considering Forza 5 is a launch title who should be going gold by now. The actual dev kits are out for nearly 18 months now and sure as hell they aren't Dell laptops; besides I really doubt there's such a thing as target demos, specially when people are playing it believing it's meant to be an X1 product. Under the common north american law, this qualifies as fraud if someone buys the game trusting the demos to be as the retail game.



Well, the industry isn't comprised by saints. Take any retail game that is in stores right now and check out the screenshots in the back. Then compare that to the actual gameplay.

Now you are correct regarding actual playable demos. But "in-engine trailers" are a different story. And my bet is 99% of them are tinkered to look better than the real deal.
