The Definitely Fake Thread!

Post by the Savage Hippie »

Hey y'all.

I can't decide whether or not this thread is useless or genius.

Here goes:
I figured that since there's a lot of crappy fake videos and screenshots around which I for one find pretty annoying. That we could use a thread in which we determine all the fake stuff that's around and by doing this we would perhaps be able to keep the amount of "is this for real?" threads down, so the forum won't be loaded with these kind of topics.
So basically my idea is to post fake links so people who are in doubt of videos/pics can be taught that they aren't real.

The reason I don't know if it's genius or useless is that at one point I find it clever to put all the fake stuff into one basket, but on the other hand, why would you want to post things that are fake anyway... Hmm.

Would someone share their thoughts with me on this matter?

Skyrim looks different from Oblivion, which is usually what people use to fake Skyrim game play. It's pretty easy to tell the difference...

I agree.
I was thinking of stuff like this which I personally believe to be pure hoax

Oh... In that case, I think this thread might be a good idea. :mrgreen:
Someone tried to pass this off as a Skyrim screenshot once... Idiots :lol:

I had just enough time to mute the video when I saw what the background song would be. I'm calling fake because the last screenshot looks a bit too realistic.

Both those landscapes are photographs. From what I can tell, visuals like that don't yet exist in a game. xD

The buildings look like Cheyd retextures... Can't be sure though.

Dunno if this has been posted yet, but it looks kinda strange.
Then again, the guy who put it on youtube thinks it is genuine... :o
