Hi all I joind 1up.com the other day just to wright a message to shoe The Editor of EGM,
To my suprize I was responded to quickly,
Heres what he had to say,

This isn't something I'm making up...even Sony has officially stated that some of the demos, like Killzone, were "target videos" (meaning, they're pre-rendered sequences that they hope will be representative of the games later, when they get made). That means they made a movie to simulate what they think PS3 games will look like.
Then there the other "real-time" demos for PS3 graphics, like the Unreal and Fight Night videos. Those aren't target videos but the real deal. BUT...they're short, controlled demos that don't need to take into consideration artificial intelligence, the rest of the level, disc space, music, sound, etc...so those developers can spend 100% of their efforts to make one specific piece look fantastic.
Now, I'm not saying PS3 games WON'T look like that. I'm just saying a lot of the stuff isn't real right now, so people should take it with a grain of salt. If I just believed them and believed in the hype, then I wouldn't be much of a journalist now, would I? :)
Hope that clears that up. Bottom line: I didn't make a prediction...Sony has officially said themselves that some of those demos were "target videos" and not real-time demos.

Hi Dan, I sent this message in a Blog But im relivitivly New to 1.up and dont know if i sent it to the right place.
But now I believe i have found the right place to send you a message.
That being.
On the subject, of fakeness.
I was reading the latest issue of EGM, and In the likes/disslikes portion of the review crew lineup. you aperently didnt like the
Fake graphics of the ps3. I suppose you mean the quality of the demos at E3,and suspect that this level of quality wont be the case when (end all be all) It is finelly released to the world,I just wanted to speak my mind. And that being, How can you as a respected journalest, come right out and make a prediction like that,
As a long time fan of EGM, I respect your opinion deeply, If you say there fake.then there fake to me, But my question is. Baised on your experience ( which i have absolut faith in) Do you know Somthing Your not telling us, Can you elaberate A little bit on your statment, that was made on page 107 in your disslikes catigory of the review crew lineup?
Forever a fan of EGM, But like most of us long timers We miss ED. He was the soul of EGM. But you do a good Job filling his shoes.
