Rome 2 image google search

[Lionheart11]

Just searching around to find pictures people have made, so i Googled "Rome2" and did a image search, almost straight away i notice half the top images coming up are not real images. They are the doctored shots we have all been burnt on, that means anyone still looking to buy Rome 2 will find these images easy and then expect the game to look that way.

Every time i see these images it makes my blood boil, graphics that dont exist and Ai/phillanxs that was never in game, but these images and lies just dont die!.

Everyone is committed to create a thread just to write something like that, eh? Anyway, here, I have a present for you, enjoy

It's expected of that to happen for any product out there. If you wanted to look at Rome II gameplay pictures you'd use Steam's screenshots section.

OK question: Do these companies pay to keep there(fake) images on top when you do a google search?

[TheCenturion24]

Oh, this is ridiculous. ENOUGH WITH THIS 'OMGZ dey used falz piturz liez liez i zay!' CRAP. Not only has it been done to DEATH, but EVERY PRODUCT does it in some way or another. It's this thing called 'marketing'. If you don't like it, then you're free to stop gaming. Because that's what gaming, and hell, the entire industry, is.

They are even on Steam store page...
http://store.steampowered.com/app/214950
Some are real, the others have 0 connection to the game: the roman and cartaginian parade, the way way prealpha awesome Carthage, the "fake" trailer of Hannibal and Cleopatra...

I understand steam can be brought out, but google?

They are on top simply because they were the most seen: those were the most clicked in the many months prior to release.

[Go0lden_Archer]

Brought? Lol, pics that are highest in search are those that was viewed by most people out there, that's it, no grand conspiracy, no bad-bad developers and publishers bying their way to our wallets or anything

Oh, btw, this is not real in-game graphics, I've been bought to put it here ^_^

If you feel like you've been cheated or think Rome II is a poor game, why are you dedicating any of your spare time to it? I kinda understand checking out forums, but using google images just 'cause? That's a little weird...

[Karnil Vark Khaitan]

sooo we already ran out of things to say about rome 2?

I really like this new year!

With that you presume using faked pictures is common use? krisslanza was not able to show me 3 recent games doing that, could you?

such an impossible task! How dare you ask them such a question! As foor Go0lden Archer's pic, I have the same graphics, but that picture is nowhere near the polish and lighting of the marketed pics. The lighting is so abysmal and the non-existent AA makes the game feel like I'm watching a videotape from the late 80's.. It is so washed out when you compare it to S2TW's beautiful graphics

I remember the days when TWC was one of the best forums around.. well. I guess it still is. Just not the R:II section.

[Sun Jetzu]

OMFG I forgot about these, I remember them saying that soldiers will push other soldiers off of buildings. I have never even seen this once! And elephants dont fight with their trunks like that. man how I've forgotten some of these lies. Why are you looking up rome 2 pics in the first place though? just to come up with thread ideas I suppose.

The're not fake pictures. They're basically cover art. Did you watch one of the latest Fiat 500 commercials? Where cars go under water and disembark on US beaches. Do you expect your car to be submersible as well? No. All the games I bought, cover art, pictures that have been used on websites or game box that are not shown as screenshots, are enhanced in many ways. Same as every single product you see online. So, no, I'm not presuming that they're using fake pictures but that they're enhancing what they have to use as cover art.

Why did they cutout so many advertised features I wonder.
