Oh Electronic Arts the notorious game
publisher announced that anyone buying a
copy of battlefield 3 on the PlayStation
3 would get a free bonus copy of
battlefield 2 1943 sounds good right

would serve as a developer’s kit this
meant that every Xbox one could be used
to create develop and publish games
through the service for over three years
they failed to deliver on this promise
finally launching the feature in March
of 2016 on behalf of everyone on the
Xbox team thank you thank you for
joining us on the next generation of
Xbox gaming number eight Killzone 2 fake
gameplay
[Music]
it was the summer of 2005 the ps3 was
only a year away from launch and fans
were eager to see what the system could
do enter the supposed game May trailer
for Killzone 2 which for the time looked
very visually impressive however as it
turns out what was shown wasn’t actually
running on ps3 hardware it was actually
a pre-rendered CG trailer designed to
look like gameplay something that wasn’t
revealed until after the press
conference as far as first impressions
go this one was rather sour number 7 –
game pads on the Wii U the Wii U
hardware will support two separate game
pads a new console releases like a new
baby being born there’s so much promise
in hope for that little piece of plastic
it seems like anything is possible then
after a year or so reality sets in the
Wii U was the follow-up console to the
highly popular original weed that you
came with the promise that two of its
innovative game pads which featured
standard console controls plus a small
second screen could be connected to the
console at the same time now that it has
been discontinued and replaced by the
Nintendo switched this promise is
officially never gonna come true
[Music]
number six ps3 at a hundred and twenty
frames per second
FPS or frames per second is often a
contentious point of discussion when
debating the merits of console versus PC
gaming some people make the claim that
the human eye can only see 30fps but
those people are completely wrong and
that’s an objective fact
but either way one thing is for certain
it takes some hefty graphical horsepower
to push frame rates past 60 on very high
settings and that’s why people were
surprised and somewhat skeptical when
ken Kutaragi made the unlikely claim
that the PlayStation 3 could run at a
hundred and twenty frames per second
this would be really high even for the
most expensive of custom pcs in its
lifetime the ps3 never lived up to that
promise only on PlayStation 3 number
five
Xbox crap X the graphics power is over
three times what’s been available before
at the time of its release
Toy Story 2 was a milestone in
computer-generated graphics there was
nothing that compared to it and it
required some of the most advanced
cutting-edge and expensive hardware to
make and that’s why I came is a bit of a
surprise when Microsoft’s Bill Gates
said we were approaching the level of
detail in Toy Story 2 while gaming
consoles could offer decent graphical
performance at the time they couldn’t
offer anything close to approaching what
a Pixar production looks like
number four no man’s sky multiplayer
will you be able to play with your
friends yeah is there a competitive
element to this game yeah if you want
that yes
can you grief other players if there’s
one game that has become synonymous with
disappointment and false promises it’s
hello games is no man’s sky the game’s
creators mates about landish claims
about their game which in hindsight we
should have been more skeptical about
Sean Murray the game’s creator made one
promise that stuck out with gamers the
most he stated that the game would
feature multiplayer but but the chances
of people meeting in the vast universe
were so slim that it was unlikely to
happen that explanation should have
definitely been the first red flag
can you run into other people other
players on the game yes but in the
chances of that are incredibly rare just
because of the size over building number
three csgo lotto scandal what we’re
doing is this is kind of like a
head-to-head betting challenge here in
csgo lotta so Counter Strike global
Offensive is a staple in the eSports
arena
in recent years several betting websites
have popped up to allow players to bet
in-game items the legality of this is
kinda murky to say the least over the
span of a couple of weeks several of
these websites were discovered to have
been less than honest with some of their
business practices for instance two
popular youtubers Trevor T Martin Martin
and Tom Pro syndicate yourself had been
promoting the site csgo ato to millions
of viewers without disclosing the fact
that they were actually part owners and
we found this new site called csgo
whatõs basically tricking their audience
into funneling money into their website
nice guys nice number two aliens
colonial Marines this one broke the
hearts of 80s kids everywhere when
gearbox and Sega began showing early
footage of their game it seemed like
just what we’d been waiting for an
action-packed dynamic realistic and
beautiful game set in the aliens
universe well we got was a little bit
less fun release the graphics were toned
way down the lighting effects were
lowered or missing and the game looked
almost completely different on top of
that the AI characters only knew a
limited number of commands
what was promised was a far cry from
what was delivered
number one everything Peter Molyneux
says a free high movement is being
recognized being aftertouch fish being
out to swish the water with her hand a
shining example of hyperbole and false
promises Peter Molyneux is the creator
behind fable a critically acclaimed
action role-playing game despite being
well received reviews noted that the
game was missing several features which
had been promised gone were things like
being able to plant a tree and watch it
grow over the lifespan of your character
for instance Peter also made bold
promises about a demo called
project natal which be shirred a
sophisticated AI interacting with a
person and responding to commands this
turned out to be nothing but a
proof-of-concept even when he returned
to Kickstarter for goddes people were
willing to fund his project despite his
track record a last mall new abandoned
