Looking at the chairs at the table, It's pretty obvious.

Does look pretty good though. Can't wait to see Metal Gear Solid 5 in the Fox Engine

The flat framed posters on the B walls are a dead giveaway. Even before reading the answer, something just seems off about the B pictures, like the geometry is just too perfect-looking or something.

For me it was the spot lights, they're too perfect in B while A has natural reflection and shadows.

It seemed more like they were almost completely missing from B. Give them credit though, adding grain to make it look more like a photo probably threw a good many people.

Holy crap, I almost couldn't tell which one is the Fox Engine. Shocked If this is what the Fox Engine is going to look like, then it's going to rival other great game engine like Frostbite 2 engine (used in Battlefield 3) and Cryengine 3 (used in Crysis 2). This looks great!!! Very Happy

That is true, the chairs are too similar to each other to be real Razz There are always tiny defects in similar chairs which make them unique.

You can also look at the TV in the 3rd picture. You can actually see prt of the hue in the real tv where as the graphical one is just plain black.

But none the less, that is a GREAT engine, if they can really put that into a PC or Console without having to dull down the graphics, this will produce awesome looking games.

Well they could probably do it in a PC but in consoles would be hard and the PC will suffer because of it because usually companies don't bother optimizing their games to take advantage of the PC capabilities.
Of course even consoles can do a lot better with the right optimization. Games like Black or GT4 on PS2 show that the right optimization can do wonders no matter how weak you think the hardware is. Those games still look better than many games coming out now in modern consoles.
