Those clips all look credibly fake, especially the terrain and vegetation. How are people falling for this?

A lot of video from foreign sources looks like fucking potato in the first place, especially when it's not from a big studio.

Some people have never seen video game footage in their entire life. How are they supposed to be able to tell?

Unless someone's some sort of feral forest wolf-child or Amish, I refuse to believe there's anybody left in the western world over the age of 12 who has never seen video game graphics even in a commercial or something. These things have been with us for 50 years now.

Just give it the once over with shaky cam + grainy image and god knows where that is or if it's even real.

Doesn't matter if they've seen ArmA, or any other game for that matter, before. They've all seen the real world and even when ArmA 3 was new it wasn't exactly a looker.

I've seen Arma 3 footage with a click bait headline that makes it sound like real war footage and the body text will usually state it was made in Arma.
If you actually watch the footage (even on a small screen) it doesn't look real. I take this to mean that even journalist will only read the headline.

Remember that time North Korea put out Call of Duty footage in a propaganda video about invading the United States?

The linked video from the article felt more like a how to: Just blur you in-game footage and have no camera stability. Honestly it feels more like a PR stunt for people to talk about that games

Well, some of the actual Russian troops display the professionalism and competency of a SovietWomble video. It can be confusing.

Downvotes for making fun of the headline of what’s clearly them thinking their game is better looking than it is.

My parents noticed I had an interest in Roman history as a teen and bought this DVD about it. I nearly died laughing when suddenly expert interviews are left behind for Rome: Total War battle reenactments. Ah yes, let's zoom in on this little 10 pixel general

If you have actually ever played Arma you can tell within a second that these videos are fake.

That series gimmick was using Rome: Total War footage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decisive_Battles
In 2004 this was amazing.

No need for observation to make that assessment.

The other is Digital Combat Simulator. A realistic fighter simulator. It got to the point that DCS came out and publicly came out with a KNOCK IT OFF request to users.
