I understand bringing up Ryse and Watchdogs, but why Infamous and Driveclub?  From what I have seen, Infamous looks like they said it would. And Driveclub has actually seen improvements in the graphics department since it was first showcased. A much more obvious, and easily seen, showcase of trailer (demo in the case of a few One titles) and release differences would be Forza. 

 

@ OP

 

I suppose this is going to add to resolution gate when it launches. Not really a big deal, now, just a constant reminder that MS is overcharging for weaker HW. Not sure why they didn't just leave the price at $450 after Titanfall released. I guess they just want to make a bigger splash out of the cut at E3. 

Both infamous and Driveclub has initial trailers that were more impressive visually than actual gameplay footage shown.

In what way were either DC or inFamous less impressive than their initial trailer? :/ DC is hard to say, since the first we saw of it was an "action cam" style trailer, but gameplay wise it's improved heavily since it's first proper showing.

As for infamous, all they showed at the start were cutscenes, and those have remained graphically identical (excluding some small changes here and there, like the time of day in a couple of cutscenes).

Thinking about it, pretty much every title we saw back then has ended up looking either identical or better (even watchdogs, though they should have been a lot clearer it was the PC version being shown). Forza 5 is the only major exception i can think of.

That's exactly what I was thinking, too.  DC was basically showing us autovista mode, at first.  There was definitely a downgrade when he entered actually started racing.  And since then, the game seems to have gotten better with every vid.  Infamous was showing cinematics, which are always upped a little on detail, but it still was a HUGE difference from the release game.

Of course, both were nothing like the fake demos that MS put out to try and fool gamers that their console was more powerful than it really was.
