This might help. There are some things where the 05 trailer looks better but the playable code also does a lot of things better. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=170717


The thread you posted is quite exactly a repitition of this thread - some say equal, some say cg-trailer was better.


Lol this is true. I think when people call a game downgraded the feel the need to defend their console of choice. If I can remember rightly back to E3 '05, it was Phil Harrison that wrongly claimed it was actual gameplay. Sony put this right pretty quickly announcing it was CG target render. It was Phil's mistake but as he was representing Sony at the time, people claimed that Sony tried to pull the wool over their eyes. If this was the case then Sony wouldn't have corrected the claim so quickly.

To me it was overblown but it made a good story.


If we recall history the whole story was a bit different. Sony didn't have their stuff together obviously (no wonder considering the hardware) so they had to show something to the public. Remember the FF7 intro? Yeah, that also was a good laugh and just made up, of course. Nothing wrong about it if you say that stuff you are showing is made up.

I also remember when they showed PS2 to the public and made people believe the opening scene of FFVIII could be rendered in realtime on PS2.

These are obviously things to make people believe in something that just isn't there but I think nowadays we all take those vids with a grain of salt (MS did this, too, with the first Xbox, IIRC).
