Why haven't you been making threads about it. Its a very regular practice.

Assasins creed at the ps4 event was the PC version
COD at the Xbox event was the PC version.

Its not really a purposefully deceitful thing. Most games are built on PC, so when they are shown of before release you almost always see the PC version.

Furthermore the final X1 version will undoubtedly look better on people's home TV than that off screen video that the majority of people watching aren't even using HD.

To me this whole thing is a witchunt by people who couldn't find anything else to be outraged about
Why do I have to make a thread about every single thing?
I don't stan consoles. I'm a video game fan. When I see something I have an opinion about I speak on it.
This practice is most certainly deceitful. It's all standard marketing used to reel in the sheep.
How is it NOT deceitful? ESPECIALLY in the case of the OP. On the other hand I've seen trailers that have print in the bottom stating that this footage is not in game or from the actual console, or from a PC build etc etc.
You also have to define witch hunt. One thread from me, a person who chances are you will never meet is not a witch hunt.

Never said anything about stanning consoles. You feeling guilty? That wasnt my point at all.

And no you don't have to make a thread about every one. But if this is a practice you don't like it seems you would speak out against the practice itself instead of singling out one game.

First there's not a huge difference between the versions. I could see if there was a huge difference in the look or the mechanics of the game. The differences aren't even something the mainstream can see. Especially considering most of them aren't even watching it in conditions that would give them the ability to see the differences. Second this is an old build that doesn't even look as good as the final, if anything they are deceiving in the opposite direction.

On the other hand I've seen trailers that have print in the bottom stating that this footage is not in game or from the actual console, or from a PC build etc etc.
Sometimes, but most times no. Especially a Pre-release press demo. They don't even have a console specific demo to show off. But with these marketing deals they have to pretend that other versions don't exist. It happens with literally EVERY one of these games that have an exclusive marketing deal.

You also have to define witch hunt. One thread from me, a person who chances are you will never meet is not a witch hunt.
I was refering to the overreaching "controversy". You wouldn't have made this thread if the witch hunt didn't bring it to your attention.

It's not a big deal where gamer are months and years away from being released and their running very early builds but when the game is all finished and ddropping next week there is no excuse for why they are using pc footage and labeling it as Xbox when they have full access to show off the Xbox version. That's just being deceitful

Doesn't work like that. You can't just put a retail disc in on live TV and try to get any meaningful demo in one TV segment.

This was a demo made specifically for the press. Its the same one they've been showing for almost a year now. It wouldn't make sense for them to try to make a new Xbox one specific demo for the conan show.
