Don't believe Aaron Greenberg no CGI trailers statement for the Showcase

Yeah, I didn't expect much gameplay when he started using "in-engine" and "in-game" instead of saying, "you're going to see a lot of gameplay."

Man certainly didn't lie. As angry people who don't know the difference between CGI and 'in Engine' are finding out.

I do feel let down at the amount of in engine trailers, though. Gameplay or gameplay sections would certainly have been better received.
It is not a lie but it is misleading. Aaron Greenberg has been playing the game long enough to know exactly how his tweet would be taken. Let's not pretend he is an idiot.

Yet, people were fooled when they first showed off "In-Engine" footage of Hellblade 2. Many people were convinced it was going to look like that in the final game.

Both in-engine and CGI footage doesn't represent the final game. In-Engine has always been misleading.

Sure, but that's a whole different conversation entirely from claiming he lied, isn't it?

Better to have in-engine than CGI announcements that tell you absolutely nothing about the game.

Social media already is.

This is a moderated forum, so better here that on Twitter. Nobody's interested in seeing what JayDubCity et al are spilling out. Shouldn't be hard for you to cite the games that were full CGI, so we can join you in crucifying Greenberg for another lie.

Aaron Greenberg is a fucking waste of space. Hypes up the show with misleading information. Shouldn't have been cocky with the lack of first party gameplay especially after the body of Redfall is still warm.

Please fucking sack that geebag.

Like 95% of the show was in-game or in-engine.

The only one that comes to mind that appeared to be purely cinematic was Star Wars Outlaws.


Also, it's hilarious that Fable looks so incredible that everyone keeps claiming it's CGI. It says "in-game" right there in the beginning, ya'll.

Everyone is talking about Starfield today. Not Redfall.

So...mission accomplished?

None of what that was actual gameplay, it could've been just scenes rendered in-engine that you can't affect.

I mean, it wasn't CGI. It directly labels it as "In-game". It could be a snippet from one of the games real time cut-scenes, which is, again, not CGI.

Not sure how many artificial caveats you want to add to it.

More likely that the end result will look forspoken levels different.

You can twist in-engine however you like. The first two trailers did not show off actual gameplay.

rofif rofif bruh you're being attacked directly

The only way I'm "twisting" is by telling you that it was not a CGI trailer.

I'm not the one changing the goalpost by requesting different things like a HUD or action gameplay behind the shoulder view etc.
