These Screenshots Are Fake!

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

Words: Ben Richardson, GamesRadar UK

Killzone 2... Again

Those scamps at Guerilla released what was lauded as the first ever (proper, not touched-up) in-game screenshot from eagerly-awaited warathon Killzone 2. And it looked a bit... flat. Ho ho ho - here's why:

It was a poster! Lawks, mirth, etc. and so on. Come on, now Guerilla, less of the funny pseudo-hoaxes and more of the makey a PS3 game, yeh?


Halo 3... Again

There are no words. You just have to hope that whoever concocted this cock-eyed mock-up was chortling to themselves while crudely photoshopping in a few random Halo elements to a Half-Life 2 environment. Because no one is really that stupid to think this works, right?


Call of Duty 4

Ha! Haha! Brilliant. But that's not the only 'shot' that was 'exclusively' revealed by website NG-Gamer (and not on 1 April either)...

Wait. There's more...

And more...

You've gotta love those fakers, right? Goodnight world!

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.
