Advertising and marketing have become so important for major triple A releases that they rival big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. Much like Hollywood and the odd few scenes from a trailer that are never seen in the movie, the gaming industry has been a little unfaithful about its actual products. Whether it’s blatant adjustments and effects or more subtle colour correction, let’s take a look at 15 occasions where developers misled players with fake screenshots.

Far Cry 4 – Ubisoft Montreal

Far Cry 4 bullshot

Why not start with a particular screenshot, featuring co-op gameplay with players in buzzers, that was the focus of a Kotaku article about a professional bullshotter?

That’s only the tip of the iceberg for Ubisoft though so don’t worry.
