I was watching this video and noticed some new in-game footage.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R34lrTPGFY

Clipped it out to put on repeat and I noticed a specific angle that looked really bad, current gen if you will. Looks like the reason is because the cars don't have any reflections.

For comparison, here's a few frames later when the camera switches angles.

Why are they missing from the first angle? Why did that make it in to promotional footage?

also one car is dirty, that is unacceptable

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

just like every game releasing recently (like GTA V) the screenshots they're showing are fake.

Boy, you are working so hard to put down the XB1. How does your comment relate to the thread?

OT: Who knows, I am sure a PR person was given a bunch of videos and didn't know the difference. I am sure during the testing, they can turn on and off different elements.
