Christ you're acting like Sony invented this. IT'S A FUCKING ATTRACT LOOP ALL GAMES HAVE TO HAVE THEM
Sony does it more than anybody though.
Who's the company that tried to sell its system as being capable of Pixar quality graphics? Who tried to pass off prerendered movies as real time graphics at E3?
Uncharted's supposed to be the best looking console game ever yet even its commercial has CG graphics. Even back in the 32 bit days, Sony tried to pass off CG movies as real time graphics.
oh good christ no they don't
Microsoft introduced Fable 2 and Forza 2 with CG, as well as Halo 2 (and 3 lol)
Take 2's Bioshock commercial was CG, and Bioshock needs no CG
SFIV was a CG trailer
Gears of War 2 was not a real time trailer intro
Just accept people use CG to communicate concept. You're smarter than people who get "fooled" by CG, so what do you care? People whining about target trailers and CG concept videos act like this violates some Kantian moral imperative. Who gives a shit. You know what the game looks like.
