Microsoft’s Battlefield 4 footage from PC, not Xbox One

Battlefield 4 E3It’s not uncommon for E3 presenters to hype their products. In fact, it’s almost expected. “Gameplay demos” are pre-recorded, CGI mock-ups are passed off as representative of the final product, and so-called console games are shown running on high-end PC’s. Apparently, Microsoft snuck a case of the latter past us when showing off Battlefield 4 at their press conference today; what was presented as Xbox One footage was actually the game running on a PC.

How do we know? Clever Redditors noticed an on-screen prompt to open the Battlelog using the backspace key. Last time I checked, the Xbox One controller doesn’t have one of those.

Breanna has been gaming since infancy, if gnawing on an unattended controller counts as playing a game. One of the younger members of the Gaming Trend family, she dabbled in PC games as a kid but wasn't fully consumed by the hobby until the sixth generation of consoles. Now an avid PC and console gamer, she looks forward to the day when she can scape together enough cash to join the next gen club.

In the last week of middle school, a math teacher taught her how to program a calculator; she was pretty much hooked then and there. Currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Applied Math, Breanna hope to someday make games instead of just writing about them. Other hobbies include playing guitar, binge-watching Netflix, and cooking delicious food.
