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

I'm stuffing my face right now.

 

[_SAKY_]

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?

but what about the trees...... lol

 

[MogCakes]

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

Definitely in-fill.

 

[bounchfx]

that was awesome

I hope there's more of these
the videos music did it for me

Do it. Create The Great Wall of Whine-na.

I laughed xD

 

[Azalean]

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.

Neither of those things prove the black photos are fake.

It's confirmed that it's from another person.

How about the original leaker saying they took his 3D model and 3D printed it? lol

and also come on... use your head. Do you honestly think that these two things happened to be leaked around the same time but the other one totally wasn't capitalising on the first?

Like, why didn't they leak it before hand? Why isn't the screen on, seeing as that is the main feature?

If it's real they've got to be the shittest leaker on the planet.

 

[Orayn]

Definitely in-fill.

Evidently it's just an artifact and the second fake was also a render/photo composite based on the first model. I still don't feel wrong in speculating about a physical fake because it's much higher quality than the first!

 

[Ashodin]

It's confirmed that it's from another person.

This doesn't prove it's fake, just that the first faker believes someone else did a better job than him.

All of which could be based on the real thing!

 

[Gsnap]

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.

Didn't we just learn to not underestimate the lengths someone will go to to make something happen on the internet.

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

Even more than the disaligned image on the first model, the idea of Nintendo releasing a controller without a D-pad or buttons was indeed ludicrous, especially after the lack of support for the Wii U's screen. It was absurd. I'm surprised some people 100% believed in this and supported it, it made no sense, in particular for a controller you use to play on a TV.

As for the other pics... I'd guess it's a 3D render too. The tree reflection looks like something you'd make up in a fake image. I mean, how do you even get such a reflection in real life? It's way too small for something that should be higher than the TV stand it's reflecting on.

Just so you know, I prefer more attention being paid to the head.

 

[Living Proof]

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

Well, if the original picture was rendered after the picture in the controller patent, or after an actual controller the photoshop dude had seen/access to, one could convince themselves it's still a possibility.

That would mean he got incredibly lucky with the white controller fake he created in regards to the "real" black one. And that Nintendo had already designed, tested, and finalized the controller (or at least its shape and sticks) before they even submitted the patent, I guess.

It's a lie. That's what the lizard people want to make us believe. It was real, Austin. It was real all along, Austin.

Thank god. Such a horrible design. Now to wait for the real thing.

Haha Patrick.

 

[MrV4ltor]

They do tho and the first leaker even confirmed that he handed his model over to someone else who printed it. Go waste yout time stanning Iggy instead of coming up with delusional theories about the second thing somehow being real.

 

[HoJu]

The second leak is so similar to the first leak, with the holes of the bottom being pretty much the exact same. Doesn't that mean that it is also fake?

EDIT yeah it's fake.

 

[V-Faction]

Thank god. Such a horrible design. Now to wait for the real thing.

And then it turns out to be based on the actual patent file and our collective heads explode.

Only if you're using logic, but that's not what we do here.
Need answers, still real to me.

Very nice.

Even if you didn't want to use logic, there already is an explanation from the guy who made the first model.

 

[Dmax3901]

It was the second lot of photos that made a lot of people think twice about the original being fake. I mean the Unreal 4 demo made it pretty obvious.

I'm still on the fence until I see those others photos debunked.

EDIT: nvm lol

 

[chadboban]

Kotaku still on Team Real.

Dammit Kotaku really? "Hey this one has been proven to be a total fabrication but this one that looks EXACTLY like said fabrication could still be legit, right? RIGHT?"

#TeamFake goes 2-0 in the same hour. We da best.

 

[MaxLevel]

Well, it is certainly easier to remove a controller from a photo than making a believable fake photo of the controller.

I'm not yet ruling out the possibility that the original photo is genuine and this here is the real trolling attempt.

 

[Linkyn]

I'm trying my hardest not to gloat.

Kudos for all the mock-ups, though.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

TeamFake vindicated. TeamReal was being pretty smug at times too.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Thank god.

 

[Ashodin]

Not until we get an actual reveal from the second faker.

Until then I'm of the stance that this is going to be really close to what we actually get.

He didn't say whether it's a render or physical model, though I'm curious if he distributed the 3D model he created or if the other guy just mimicked his.

 

[Theanine3D]

I can only imagine what Nintendo employees' opinions of GAF must be right now. lol

That one Treehouse employee that retweeted the "leak" was likely dying of laughter.

 

[PopeReal]

Hey I liked it, no shame!

But the people being dicks and talking down to others about how sad it was that they thought it was fake.... plenty of shame.

 

[Sandfox]

I don't really understand how people can think the second one is real at this point.

Logic is a thing, you know. What are the chances of the second leak being real when it looked exactly like the first one and the leaker of the first one already confirmed that it was made by some guy using his model.

 

[TheJoRu]

Doesn't matter if we get something close to that, it's still fake.
