Xbox 360 PS3

Finnish magazine Pelaaja put up a trailer of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway which Gearbox released, together with two new images. It's hard to know what is what right now, as some stuff in the video looks better than the same stuff on the images, and the other way around.
Update: Added another image.

Two images

It was not too long ago that people were crying out, "I want a HUD!" This video HAS a HUD and demonstrates the classic BiA player controls/commands and is obviously using the game engine (note the low poly head of the dead troop for example) and now people want to say it is not gameplay for whatever reason.

I understand why Gearbox is considering pulling future media. You have people crucifying them on both sides. Either it is not good as some CGI or it does not look enough like "gameplay". Gearbox would be better off only doing magazine exclusives for hype at this point if this is the type of unsubstantiate attacks they will receive.

Well, as mentioned above here my someone, an HUD isn't a guarantee that it is ingame or realtime or whatever.
Infact, I think it will be used more and more to hype people into believing it IS realtime.
Also, you seem to have sympathy with Gearbox because people are doubting their footage as being ingame, thus getting unsubstantiate attacks.
Imo, that is to be expected with al the stuff we have been presented by severel devs that claim it IS ingame, when it actually isn't.
If this happens on an regular basis, no wonder people are being cautious with their enthusiasm, and expect the worst before jumping a mile high of joy, I know I am.

Honestly, I don't understand why they don't show something that can't possibly be mistaken for ingame footage(show a demo of someone playing it for my part).
The only reason I can think of why they don't, is to cause a hype arround this game with some awesome scripted footage(We all know this worked for Killzone).

Personally, the things that really blow me away in this vid are the pieces of debreis flying right past you after the explosion, the pieces of wood being chopped of that wagon(0min55) and the boxes, and the super smooth motion of the characters.
And that (I believe) are exactly the scripted parts.
However it does look very impressive otherwise, especially the realistic colours.
Also, this looks pretty much exactly like what Holland would have looked like back then (I think), very nicely done.

(Like I said before, they look so much better than that scripted movie, it looks like a completley different game. I hope these aren't concept screens on how the WANT the game to look)

this one especially, I hope it is really in-game gfx:

no, it's the same trailer, with about an extra minute added on

I know yeah, but apparantly it has been removed at Gametrailers.com again, and replaced by the older trailer without the added minute.

Probably because at the end of the extended trailer, it kind of gives away that it is either rendered or scripted, not gameplay. The camera swings around to the front of the platoon about to fire at a tank.
