Sony At E3: God Of War III Presents Lame Trailer Time

Steve West writes:

"Of the big 3, Sony always seems to be the one having trouble making course corrections. Take the E3 God of War III trailer this year. Time and time again Sony makes the mistake of putting out CGI only trailers."

Killzone 2 original 'impossible Sony lies' trailer vs Killzone 2 realtime PS3 footage:

http://generationdreamteam....

God of War fans got the message from the GoW3 teaser - yes, this is what it's going to actually look like realtime.

people still doubt Sony. They should have learned from Killzone 2 already.

It's called a teaser trailer....I'm no expert, but I believe that means that it is suppose to tease us.

The killzone gameplay vids does NOT look like the prerendered e3 05 video. And those images u showed PooPooPlatter are bullshots and most of them are not ingame but inengine. The resolution is to low which makes them look cleaner and they're probably photoshopped with AA and what not. I've seen the gameplay video and i can't say i'm impressed at all.
I don't own a ps3 and never will, mostly because of e3 05. If they think they can show a prerendered video and claim it's actual gameplay and think that everyone will just forget about it later, they're f***ing mistaken. No, i'm serious, because of that toghether with smug statements like 4D etcetera, i will NOT buy a ps3. Although i will play many of the good games coming out for the ps3 at my friend place

Yeah KZ2 gameplay looks a lot better than the CGI trailer they showed in 2005. The only thing that looks a little worse is the smoke IMO, but everything else looks much better.

So I don't doubt that GOW3 will look great.

1.12 - Well...
I admit that cgi trailers are kinda worthless and missleading "sometimes" but atleast sony showed some amazing footage of exclusives that no other console could pull off.

I am confident that GoW3 will look out of this world and that it will further prove that PS3 is the system for the core gamers and entertainment addicts.

The Killzone CGI trailer still looks better, look at when they are in the sky, the characters lack depth and look plain, and the environment down below also looks plain "in the demo popup was crazy". Nice try.

The Halo 3 video was in ENGINE, it was showing the huge draw distance Halo 3 was capable of, and in the game you can see out to a very far distance.

They toned down the chief, as it was a waste of resources, and a golden chief would stick out like crazy I'd imagine. The real time reflections on his visor were cut due to waste of processing power, to go to the AI no doubt. If you don't believe me it's in engine, you can see the Bungie staff working on it in one of their earlier Vidocs.

It is kinda annoying how everyone says the first killzone trailer was CGI. It was, in fact, a TARGET RENDER bases upon the supposed final specs of the PS3. It was actually running in REAL time on PC. IT was running at only 5 fps but sped up to 60 but it was indeed rendered in real time, just not on a PS3. That Halo trailer...yah that was CGI.

1.17 - The Halo trailer was in engine
Just never put in, because really, what gameplay do you get there?

Look at the new Halo Wars video, that's CGI, but the Halo trailer was in engine, because if it wasn't it would be the same style as the Halo Wars trailer, but it isn't.

Bungie weren't lying when they said it was in engine, Sony said it was in real time and that was a lie, it wasn't running on the games engine so it's CGI.

Lol just because it wasn't running on the final game engine doesn't mean it was CGI. It was being rendered in real time, just on a PC because the final specs of the PS3 weren't even complete. And like I stated, a PC could only render it at 5 fps, so they sped up the frames to 60fps.

@lilgringo

And you want...?

What do you expect, for us to trow away our PS3 whining about KillZone 2 is not exactly as the 05 trailer?

Or maybe you want for us to beg "oh please gringo, buy a PS3"...

Come on, get your act together! People like what they see in KillZone 2 and most here look pleased with their console already before it coming, this is a GoW teaser tread about how they teased with a CG, like if this wasn't dumb enough, come you with this pathetic bashing?

Get out that way! -->

Didn't they do this with RFOM2, and then it turned out to be using in game assets. Looked like cgi to me, but Sony's been known to surprise us(GoW2).

yeah most people dont know the difference between 'TEASER' trailer and gameplay footage. the point of the teaser trailer was to let fans know its coming, give enough info with out giving anything away. i mean really come on is any one really worried that this game wont look amazing???

3.2 - to right Hagaf22...
the trailer didn't have 'gameplay' in it like the killzone 2 trailer. if they showed Kratos doing some crazy sh!t during that cgi trailer and claimed it to be gameplay, then i would be all sorts of up tight about it.

3.3 - @BlindfromFanboyism
Sorry, just couldn't resist that one. The killzone game is reasonably close enough to silence naysayers and it really only falls flat on the brighter visuals of the target render, which could just have been a change in ambiance decision since 3 years ago.

4.4 - If anything the CGI trailer confirms the game is still a year away
Of course this is just healthy speculation. I don't think its a cardinal sin to show CGI but gameplay gives you a better idea of what to look forward to. I want a true sequel to God of War that transcends how we think of story driven action games. I must admit though...I don't think current gameplay of Killzone looks as good as the first CGI. It looks darn good though...dare I say better than Uncharted. CGI "in game" won't be touchable by any console (or PC for that matter) until next gen.

Is that behind closed doors this was playable. And the press even said the game itself looked MEGA close to the cg

So he can be an idiot and poke fun at a teaser trailer all he wants. He's just mad he wasn't one of the people that got to see it in play lol

Another no name website trying to get hits. Well it work. If you want hits on your stupid website people, but post negative media about Sony.

Now on topic. This guys is beyond lame. Everyone know it was a teaser trailer, but this f@ggot cannot seem to get that.
