HAHAHA - No more advertising with pre-rendered footage?

lol, the bodies at EA must be piling up rather quickly as the news spreads that the game is up, no more pre-renders for advertising how on earth will we sell the pointless yearly updates and movie tie-ins
 
I think this is good news and should have happened sooner.

It wont effect me as such as 99% of the time i know when its not ingame footage just by looking at it but it does annoy me when they advertise a game and you never see the actual game footage such as GRAW
 
*8gets ready to duck**

Sony only really showed off PreRendered stuff at E3. on the TV is really is MS going for it just now, i mean GRAW is terrible, i mean i was watching the advert thinking 'mines didnt look half as good as that' PGR3, my god if only the game had that much anti aliasing, i would have been a happy bunny.

The only people who will not need to concern themselves with it will be Ninty as they always say they are not about the graphics, so they dont have any excuse to change it. And everyone wil be looking at the hot girl they have using the controllers boobs bounce as she jumps about like a nutt lol oh wait maybe that will only be me :D
 
I noticed that the GRAW advert didn't have the 'Not actual game footage' warning right from the get go. They must have had a slap on the wrists & were told to put it on! :)
 
My take on the article was that the scenes in the advert were made solely for the advert and appear no where on the disc and were banned for this reason alone. It said nothing about adverts not being able to show replays or even intros that appear on the final product. So I don't see this ruling stopping companies from showing those types of footage which will look better than gameplay footage.

It all boils down to what your definition of the term "ingame footage" means. A replay can be considered part of the game, as can the intro and cut scenes, as these tell the story, which is an important part of the game.

Unless there's more to the story than that article states then I don't see it stopping all the companies from bedningthe truth with regards to ingame footage.
 
personally i dont see why its a huge problem (CG adverts i mean).

the adverts clearly say "not actual game footage", if your foolish enough to actually think most of it is the game... then you deserve to be dissapointed by the game when you buy it ;)

besides, imagine RPG games and such... your not allowed to show CG footage unless its ingame... most of these games rely upon a huge and incaptivating story which mainly is shown through CG cutscenes... think of FFVII, you can't really sell the story/game by showing someting like cloud wondering around a world map looking for things can you ?
