Stop w/ the fake screenshots already... or at least let people know they aren't real

So Gamespot just posted a bunch of new screens w/ that, well, I guess you could call it an interview. The captures are very impressive. However, it seems some "conceptual art" found its way into the fray. Here's an example:

the imposter (http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2005/205/reviews/926971_20050725_screen014.jpg)

That's an amazing pic. Seriously, if that's what they're shooting for, well, I'm definitely on board. But it's not real. Its artwork and they should really let people know it's conceptual. Forums are buzzing right now w/ these screens... I just think its pretty lame to throw something out there like that... if it's not an accurate representation of your game.

You could possibly be misleading people, you know? Great pic, but why not make it clear it's not "real". That's all I’m wondering.

Have you see the pics with the A-10s and the F-15s? Seems like they all were PSed. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/blink.gif

Its not ubi misleading people. When they pass these screen shots and page art out to web sites they clearly state which is which, if the web site in question dont make that clear when releasing the info thats there fault not ubis.
