How A Fake Video Game Screenshot Is Made

Kotaku: "Consumers are smarter today than they used to be, but that hasn’t stopped video game publishers from releasing what have become known as “bullshots,” doctored images that are meant to show what a video game looks like, but end up being so modified and fancified they’re often nothing of the sort."

Bullshots, Ubisoft's specialty.

Bullshots and general enhancements (plastic surgery, steroids etc)to look good is a part of life...Why games games should be any different?

Makeup: how many times did you find a girl in club stunning looking only to discover that she was closer to a 4/10 than a 9/10 you believed she was with makeup on?

Life dude, just keep pretending everything is normal, accept reality when it reveals its ugly side.

Ubi are kings of this. My first experience with it was Assassin's Creed 2. https://www.google.com/sear...

After I realized that, I have seen bullshots from every AAA Ubi game that I can't even take them seriously anymore. They even doctor up their 'in-game' footage. It's crazy. There were some huge discrepancies in the Far Cry 3 E3 footage and in the final release footage, even on PC with maximum settings. The only two AAA exceptions were Rayman Origins and Legends. The UbiArt engine always looked as well as what was shown, even with their smaller titles like Child of Light and Valiant Hearts.
