These Screenshots Are Fake!

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

Words: Ben Richardson, GamesRadar UK

Grand Theft Auto IV... Again

GTA IV is easily the most hoaxed (and the easiest to spot hoaxes of) game around. Thing is, we can't ever imagine a Rockstar image that was this dull, grey or boring. Must try harder. 


Halo on DS

After another boring shot-assault, it's time for some more video-based upliftery. This hoax movie of Halo running on the lowly DS is pretty good, despite the fact that only a moron would think Nintendo's handheld was capable of such techno feats. And, before the web crybabies yell at us, we know that there's an actual DS version of Halo (now canned). But this isn't it.


Super Smash Bros Brawl

It says something when a faked screenshot demands you look at it with a microscope to appreciate the 'leaked info' or 'secret facts' it is trying to peddle. King K Rool in Super Smash Bros? Highly doubtful - even more so now Nintendo has made itself no friends at all at the offices of K Rool's creator Rare, after reportedly stamping out the exciting 360 Arcade version of Goldeneye.


Star Trek Online

This is our favourite, if only for the humour value. Just imagine a die-hard Trekkie seeing the Deathstar peeking out from around a nearby planet. Think of the rabid froth of anger! Oh, the hilarity.

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.
