What about the black one though

Given what was done for the white one, the black one wouldn't be particularly hard to do. Black one is quite possibly a 3d printed physical fake based on the same or a copycat 3D rendering. Note that the black one was never on, so all they had to do was get the right shape which isn't hard

 

[Megatron]

Thank god. Buttons nintendo, PLEASE!

 

[tolkir]

I supposed it.

Internet is out of control.

 

[ElTorro]

Ayyyyyy.

 

[entremet]

I didn't post on those two megathreads, but that thing looked so damn fake.

Who would make a controller whose view that is obstructed by use?

 

[MogCakes]

Especially now that we have a video showing the 3D model used to make the white one, which can just be shit out of a 3D printer.

People were so incredulous that a 3D print could be a a convincing fake.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Congrats Gaf.

 

[dmr87]

Love this shit.

 

[marrec]

Second leak had me convinced it was real, very good job by the faker. Well played.

 

[meitantei_conan]

I KNEW IT!! HAHA! was a fun ride. 😂

 

[Heroman]

Why in the world do people still think the black is real but this one is a fake? That doesn't make any sense.

 

[AGoodODST]

So the real question is....

Was that ET in the reflection?

He fucking is. #TeamET

 

[Syrinx]

So once again, I've been had.

 

[elohel]

I will suck everyone's dick if the NX has no buttons

wow intense

 

[chadboban]

Can I just complement this guy on his fake reveal video, I mean it's so fantastic you can't even be mad at him. It was such a perfect troll.

 

[Anarky]

Why in the do people world still think the black is real but this one is a fake? That doesn't make any sense.

Denial isn't just a river in egypt.

 

[watershed]

Good cuz that controller would have been awful and obvious since that first photo made no sense.

 

[Demo85]

THANK GOD

Where is wall of shame for the children? Expose them.

 

[Josh5890]

We are all going to need professional help before it is all said and done.

 

[Theanine3D]

I need an explanation of the second leaked pics. Otherwise I'm still not satisfied.

Again, reflections can be faked. You would be surprised by how utterly realistic renders can be made now. The second photo could easily just be another rendered image.

I use Cycles (a PBR rendering engine) in my work every day, I can practically make stuff like this in my sleep. The creator of this fake could have simply taken a HDRI panoramic photograph of the location in the reflection, and used that to light a scene in Vray. The 3D model would then reflect everything in the photograph very realistically.

Here's an example.

WE WERE FOOLED BY TREES. SHAMALAN WAS RIGHT!

 

[Madao]

everyone got played like a damn fiddle.

 

[WordAssassin]

Yep. It makes sense to 3D print it black, too, because that would help hide the layering effect that happens when you 3D print something. It would have shown up very clearly on white just like it's pretty clear on the grey control sticks of the black one. Depending on what kind of 3D printer they had access to anyway, I don't know if newer versions reduce the layering effect. And given how real the white one looked, the black one could just be a render too.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Treehouse would hardly know what NX is yet though, would they?

If the console is coming out this year, the games are not going to translate themselves.

 

[ElTorro]

The video only shows how he faked the first photos. The second wave of leaks looked more realistic. Were these done by another guy? Maybe even 3D-printed?

Or...

...are these photos from the second leak actually real and we are being massively meta-trolled?

Didn't post in the megathread, but man that was one of the best carnivals of stupid to happen in a while, haha.

god dammit

 

[MogCakes]

I don't know if newer versions reduce the layering effect.

It looks like ABS plastic (could be any color) that's been sanded smooth and painted black. There's still some hint of threads visible on the nubs.

Detective GAF

Brutal.

 

[L Thammy]

Where is wall of shame for the children? Expose them.

There are like fifty jillion posts in the other thread. Whoever combs through that whole thing just to shame people has way too much time.

Do you have proof of this
We don't know what the NX can do yet

I'm stuffing my face right now.

For God sakes Patrick, let it go.

I was going to post this in the other thread; resolution makes it hard to say for sure, but the top of the nubs looks like it could be a 3D printer in-fill pattern. Either that or the faker was a doofus and printed the nubs vertically

 

[Malus]

Right because the real version will have handles

Lotta people saying "thank god" but the free form display and no face button rumors are still pretty strong.

 

[Mediking]

LMAO great!

I'm siding with Kotaku here.

Here's what I think:

Here's an answer: that is also fake

Notice how it didn't appear until after the other leak - and also notice how the screen (i.e. THE MAIN THING THAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE) isn't even on.

 

[Azalean]

Nah its fake too. Just confirmed on reddit.

Link?
