0:10: Choppy camera pan. Using your mouse as a cinematographic camera control is a big no-no unless the movements are averaged. Invest in a controller; it’ll make the camera pans look much better.

But it’s still not representative of the way the game looks like, at all. Beautiful as it is, this video looks like it has been taken from a heavily modded version of the game and then post produced three ways till sunday.

The rigid and inconsistent mouse movement triggers me.

whhyyy? Instead they’ll what? Make another crappy Halo game?

If it’s true, that sucks because despite not looking that good to me (nothing really grabbed me, except the aesthetic) it’s a Platinum game directed by Hideki Kamiya. The guy knows a thing or two about making great games. I had faith it could work out in the end =/

BALL. It’s the Death Star. We’re not paying for that fuckin’ BALL.

Sharad Hett is so pathetic. Losing whiner can’t accept truth. Big baby...Sad!

And here’s actor Mark Hamill, known not just for playing Luke Skywalker but for voicing the Joker in the Batman Arkham video game series

Surely this explains why rather than suggesting otherwise? 14 million concurrent players... it’d require a support staff of astronomical proportions to actually be useful.

More plausible might be that it’s a photo taken with some sort of 360° camera from the top of “INSERT NAME OF TOWER/RIDE” at “INSERT NAME OF PARK”.

Can we convince one of those dumb viral Twitter picture accounts that this is a view of Six Flags from the space station?

Doubtful it was an employee. It’s most likely someone who bought it and returned.

pretty much. the fact that it was Splatoon sort of makes me believe that this was not an accident.

Almost certain this was done maliciously with this intent. The few i’ve found that were done pretty skillfully usually have just a normal blank disc instead... wonder if there were “finger” prints on the disc.

(in reality the most likely case is that an employee nicked the disc and re-wrapped the thing somewhere down the line)

“Wow, this game doesn’t particularly interest me. Better go let everyone know!”

Both.
