So you reckon they put out a pre-rendered piece to get people excited about the
game then?

Tell me if I'm wrong... but isn't that likely to be (or at least
incorporate a lot from) a "look test" for their game? We had a producer
from EA come by our school a few months ago and he explained that at the
beginning of every one of their game production cycles, they produce a
pre-rendered piece thats supposed to be their target for gameplay. So
they try and keep the geometry, shaders and particles at the level that
they expect will fit in the game engine, but pre-render it. I would
think that would explain the confusion. Its meant to look like
something that might be made on the PS3 with PS3 level assets but its
all glossed up for a promotional piece and pre-rendered. So looking for
tell-tale signs of it being realtime or pre-rendered is simply going to
create confusion given that some elements are designed to look realtime
and others likely are not.
Thats my theory based on conjecture... anyway.
