Forums - Gaming - Playstation YouTube is just using Xbox One X Anthem footage with Photoshopped button.

Shit ain't gonna look nothing like this in the final build anyway.

Update: It's likely EA was behind the actual editing of the video rather than Sony given that EA is in charge of all their own promotional materials for the games they publish. It's just as likely that nobody noticed the error at EA or Sony until the internet exploded.

My point still stands, however. While I understand that publishers typically use the best footage available (often PC) to promote their games, when you release platform-specific footage it's probably not a good idea to make it look as though it's being run on a different machine. In any case, both EA and Sony were involved with putting this video up one way or another.

Is it a huge deal? No. But given how misleading video game marketing can be, I think it's fair to point out when something like this happens. Just because publishers use misleading bullshots, unrealistic "in-game footage" and other questionable practices to sell games doesn't mean they should.



Sony posted a new screenshot of Grand Turismo Sport!

 

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

wtf is Sony doing lately?



So that's how checkerboard works... 🤔 It can't render everything the XboneX can and only partially copies it.

Despite the fact that I could sit here and gloat about this (especially with the hate I received after defending MS with the Watch Dogs video back in 2013 as a likely error), this was most likely an accident, and it will be fixed soon enough.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Most likely uploading footage sent to them by EA? or did you not read the thread?

And uploading the footage without checking those horrible shopped button layouts? or did you not see them pull the video?
