DC looks very average anyway and that at only 30 FPS. Same for Infamous, Crysis 2 on my PC looked better several years ago.

Lets not forget 2005 when Sony made entire fake videos of Killzone, Motorstorm etc and blatantly said they were real, and yet got a pass.

What "fake demos" did MS put out? Link?

 

Great now Imma have to update the OP cause Eurogamer is saying Advanced Warfare X1 trailer is 882P LOL.

If DC looks average, how would you describe Forza 5? :p

Sony caused an absolute shit storm with their 2005 E3 trailers. It was almost a decade ago and many people, like yourself, still mention it :p I wouldn't really call that a free pass.

Anyway, for fake demos Forza 5 was the only major case. This was the gameplay MS claimed was running on the X1 at E3 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_NySJyi2pw

And here are some screens from the E3 build and final game.

Some gameplay shots of the two versions being played (sorry for quality).

Forza 5 was still a great game but yeah... people like to throw the word "downgrades" around a lot, but it's rarely justified quite as much as here.

I do agree by the way, C2 did look incredible on PC. Said PC also didn't cost $400 (6 times in-fact >.<), so it's really not a fair comparison.
