I'm surprised anyone would be surprised that the group that visits Kotaku wouldn't be able to catch a render in only a few seconds time. Think about the people who visit these news boards: Designers, Programmers, Gamers, etc. We're all somehow connected to the digital realm and have had numerous examples of fine…

I agree, I wasn't sure what exactly it was but I knew right away that they were both just "off". I realized after reading some comments that it's mostly the hair, but they both really just seem lifeless. My initial thought was "The older lady is definitely the fake, but the blonde has definitely been touched up to…

Why the assumption that it would take any sort of "expert"?

We're pretty much built to pick up on stuff like this in fractions of a second. Maybe these could fool someone with bad eyesight, or maybe even someone that hasn't become used to seeing 3D rendered stuff, but I doubt they'd fool the common person. I could tell…

lol I knew they were both renders. NOT TODAY KOTAKU

As a 3D artist myself, I have started to think that 3D artist give away their attempt at reality in the eyes. Not because of the, what some have called, a philosophical "soul" theory, but rather what I think of as just simple refraction. We, as artists, often times find a simpler way of doing something.

She looks like she's got some early signs of skin cancer... she better see a dermatologist.

No, she looks sober.

None of it looks realistic, even to the untrained eye. It all looks life-less and stuffy, kind of like the wax statues at Madame Tussaud's. It's impressive, but pointless. Why not just use real-actors or models, if the goal is to appear as realistic as possible? What is the purpose? Seems like a waste of resources and…

They're all CG..the hair is a dead giveaway.

Ahh yes, and we all know how well that works out.

Seriously. After seeing Pacific Rim, the first 3 Transformers automatically turned into WORSE crap.

The transformers are not as cool
As they used to be.
There are the new bad boys....

Before you guys get too upset about the new design, my 5 year old son just exclaimed, "I WANNA GET THAT!" Remember the target audience isn't we in our thirties who played with transformers as kids but the kids who will be begging their parents to buy them now.

I'll do this again.

If you don't buy one, it means all those promising college students slaved their time away for nothing. It would be wrong to let those PS4s sit on the shelves collecting dust. Let's show some appreciation for hard work.

This makes me want to get a PS4 even more.

You best throw away almost every electronic thing you own then.

Why would we blame Microsoft? It's clearly Obama's fault.

Chinese articles about a Taiwanese company abusing Chinese labor to make Japanese goods that will be shipped to America.

That's cute. I'm sure if we just let the mean ol' trolls how hurtful they're being, they'll stop this instant.
