Xbox.com Steals Fan Art and says Fallout 3 is 2 Player

[King of Creation]

<strong>[ Community -> Images ]</strong> - More info on <a href="#Fallout 3">Game: Fallout 3</a>

<p>Take a very close look at the header of <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/f/fallout3/" target="_self">Xbox.com's Fallout 3 </a>page.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/f/fallout3/" target="_self"></a><a target="_self" href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/gallery/disp ... 1941"><img width="475" height="100" border="0" src="http://www.duckandcover.cx/gallery/albu ... llout3.jpg" /></a>

<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Notice anything strange about it? Familiar perhaps? Well it should look VERY familiar. The background of that image comes straight from the Fallout community: <strong>Defonten's <a href="http://fallout3.files.wordpress.com/200 ... um_pic.jpg" target="_self">City Ruins painting</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Why did they steal his painting? Well, they probably thought it was official concept art. It's the only thing out there that's good enough to be considered concept art for Fallout 3. Unlike the images released by Bethesda, his painting actually has elements of Fallout in it.</p>
<p>Maybe Bethesda should reconsider giving Defonten a job, seeing as how major gaming sites are already using his paintings as "official" imagery.</p><p>Also, interestingly, <strong>the page says that <em>Fallout 3</em> will be a 2-player game</strong>.</p><p><a target="_self" href="%09http://www.duckandcover.cx/gallery/displayimag ... 42"></a><a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/gallery/disp ... ?pos=-1942" target="_self"><img border="0" src="http://www.duckandcover.cx/gallery/albu ... layers.JPG" /></a> </p><p> </p>

[Ausir]

you shouldn't remote link images.

You shouldn't double post.

[Killzig]

[Wolfman Walt]

you shouldn't be so eager to lick my asshole.

Is there a reason for that, for future reference?

Um, besides you 2 bickering like old goatse, wow Ausir - you are a perceptive lil' one ain't ya?
Bethesda - steal franchises, steal hopes and dreams of fans, steal anything you can get your grubby hands on. Well, at least they're reliable, eh?

Actually it's Microsoft that is the one to blame here. They always screw up. Always.

Ausir and I are in love. Be jealous.

It is two player, you dumb fucks.

Someone has to be backup, ready to chop your head off, should the player be unable to make the final thrust and twist with their sword. Seppuku is seriou shit, guys.

sorry - double post

[Koki]

I was kinda down a minute ago, then I saw this and...

I'm just utterly confused

[fallout ranger]

Great painting, and not a bad chop by the Xbox boys either.


EDIT: The XBox page has taken down the offending banner and replaced it with a generic one.[/quote]

[Koki]

What a bunch of fucking pussies. Seriously, only people like Teatime would give a fuck that they took a fallout-related picture and made a banner out of it.
Fucking report them to AOL for stealing pictures next time.

[Thor Kaufman]

*grasping at straws*

[jetbaby]

Fucking sue their pants off and make a few dimes.


Edit. Take your 4chan shit and shove it up your ass.

[Koki]

Shit, I wrote that as Koki? Should've logged on my popscythe account and it would be ignored.

Forget it. Nothing happened! Move on!
