    What sort of multiplatform advertisement uses the weakest system to show off their game?

    And is that why they didn't label it as the PS3 version? And if the PS3 version is so drastically early in development that they're experiencing heavy framerate, why make a shoddy trailer at all? Where the issues so bad that you had to include them to make a full trailer? Where there no other options?

    Not that it's an excuse, but isn't TGS the last "game related" convention until next year?

    - They were showing an early alpha version at Gamescom that they outright indicated, multiple times, was only alpha. They're clearly not shy about acknowledging that.

    - They came right out and said at the "Special Talk" that they were not happy with the state of the game and would have preferred not to show it 'til it was more polished. They explained that they showed it because people (as in, folks like us) were becoming more and more vocal about wanting to see something in-game. Again, clearly not shy about acknowledging that.

    - People have been wanting to see the PS3 version, as nothing has really been shown of that version at all to date.

    - They noted that this convention would be where they covered the PS3 version of the game and, hence, it would make sense to show a PS3-rendered version of a trailer when the PS3 version of the game is the main focus.

    - We've seen footage and still-shots of the PC version several times now. It's been consistently of the same quality. Suddenly they release footage of clearly lower quality than what we've been seeing. We know the PC version can do better than that, so would it make sense for them to deliberately tune down the settings? No. So why else would they use lower-quality footage? Oh yeah. The whole PS3 thing.... 2+2.

    All the signs and indications are there, Gramul - and I know you've been around and present through all of it, so it's not like you can plead ignorance.

    You seem to be deliberately ignoring everything we know and have seen about the game to date, just for the sake of trying to make it seem like some kind of scandal.. that "SE's holding out something on us".

    There's no mystery here, except the one you seem to be trying to conjure up in your head.
