System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.
Rules are simple:
- Read the Terms of Use and System Wars Survival Guide.
- Must be Level 10 or higher to create topics.
- Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
- Don't quote more than one image in your post.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).
Aliens: Colonial Marines marketed with fake gameplay demo walkthroughs

Sick and tired of fanboys always referencing fake gameplay videos to hype games. The above video is pretty damning and confirmed that such gameplay videos / developer walkthroughs are nothing more than elaborate smoke & mirror CGI scripted videos posing as actual gameplay. This con is used by other games such as Prey 2, Bioshock Infinite, and Tomb Raider as well.
Here's the original fake gameplay walkthrough where the President of Gearbox kept lying through his teeth:

Meh. I remember spotting several differences between the OPM demo and final game of syphon filter back in the day. Early demos are rarely representative of the final game.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

[/QUOTE] Yep, and that's why it's scoring so poorly. And if anyone is not scoring was it deserves, they're either being paid off by Gearbox, a blind fanboy, or unaware of what happened to the game.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Feb 13, 2013 10:02 am GMTThis is pretty disgraceful BUT some of your other examples are crappy, there's a difference between someone playing a game a certain way and showing you all the right stuff at the right moment like in Bioshock, Tomb Raider and most other gameplay demos, and the final game actually looking completely different like in the case of Aliens (and probably Prey 2).

Console gaming is dying.
I remember when Sion Lenton was demoing Dragon Rising and showing us how the games is going to be, look how that turned out. Dragon Rising is the reason i dont preorder multiplats anymore.

Seems they started the game to take advantage of PC hardware then after those demos were made decided they won't be able to fit it onto console hardware and scaled it all down in terms of what they had going on in scenes and which effects they had and their quality.

I get why they did it, but when your final game looks considerably worse, it's just a bad idea. It will do nothing but give a huge backlash. It's sad to see the state this game is in because it could have been really really good.

[/QUOTE] Pretty much, and then they threw out that build-took the console version and polished it up a little to make it look a little bit better on the PC.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

We've already seen this with a bunch of kinect games, including the infamous Milo.

- Feb 13, 2013 11:12 am GMTWell something went wrong, why what looked liked a great game in the demo would they decide to put in low res textures and poor animations in the final game? Is this down to them having to put it on very old systems like the PS3 and 360?
