These Screenshots Are Fake!

Warning: Do not believe your eyes. Not even a little bit

Excite Truck 2

Rule two of fake screenshots: If it comes accompanied by a press release riddled with basic spelling mistakes (like "ambiances") then it's fake. Probably. You can never be too sure when it comes to press releases.

Killzone 2

Eagle-eyed gamers will notice the Helghast soldier is lifted straight from the first controversial footage of Killzone 2. Others will simply see the out-of-place weapon (cribbed from Enemy Territory: Quake Wars) and realise something is up. Either way, this is bobbins.

Halo 3

To paraphrase the infinite monkey theorem, a thousand web monkeys on a thousand keyboards will eventually uncover even the most obscure of images used to create a fake composition. In this case, the background is a bit of French vapourware.

Kid Icarus DS

Rule one of fake screenshots: If it looks too good to... no, we've done that one. Needless to say, though, that this fanboy-pleasing image is naught but a Deviant Artist's fantasy.

One reason for doing some of these, is to learn how to use Photoshop, or whatever graphics package you're using. (There's something other than Photoshop?) It's the posting them as 1) original art or, in this case 2) as authentic screen shots that's the sad thing. My daughter is learning photoshop. What better way to learn texture blending and lighting angles.

DS Halo? FYI, people who think the DS is a "serious" console, no.
Well you might just fit Master Chief's head in.....

LOL@ Halo 3...Again. I could almost make out the G-Man in the background.

Most of them were stupid, but Super Mario Galaxy DS...that was believable. I kinda wish it was real.

By the way, with all the of the Killzone screens, it reminds me of the actual story. I haven't played the first (didn't have a PS2), but from what I gather it wasn't a great success, and the hype for the new one is shaky at best.

I have been looking through the story and the history of Killzone of the official website, and I gotta say, it is fucking mindblowing. It's great not because of it's originiality (space marines and colonialization, etc), but that the future they've painted with the story is so believable (the only problem with it is the timeline; within 200 years the human race has completely evolved into the Helghast, not probable). If they incorporate the story at least into the manual or make a history book based on it, I'd buy that shit.

Speaking of, why the hell don't video game companies market the shit out of games with history books (not fan fiction shit)? I'm sure that the Halo series (an easy target) would sell even more copies (if that's even possible) if, before 3 came out, they put out a complete history book for the common crowd to buy and be invested in the story and the universe.
