But, there is one differenc in the screen -- the HUD has changed, ever so slightly. But, who knows...and who cares? First off, this screen doesn’t tell us anything — so who cares if it’s real?

I believe its defeinitely is fake. It looks like they've taken the boundaries of this image (a work in progress Metroid Prime Screenshot) http://media.cube.ign.com/media/015/015316/img_1301127.html and super imposed it with another one.

The arm-cannon design is the same as seen a few years back during the first beta-screenshots of the first Metroid Prime. http://media.cube.ign.com/media/015/015316/img_1301129.html Lack of extra HUD information beyond the icons displayed is also dubious. Especially the Beam-icons. (Unless there's a switch back to the complementary beam system of yore, but Retro isn't very keen on it anyway.) .::: Fake.

I HIGHLY doubt the IMAGE is fake. Is the image on the screen real? That's a whole other issue. To my eye it doesn't look fake... It's probably composed of a 3D scene with a graphic overlay. Someone spent alot of time constructing a fake blurry screen... which doesn't seem too likely. It looks like a great deal of work would have to have been put into that for questionable results. I say all the content is real... is it REALLY Metroid Prime 3? That I can't say... looks Metroid-ish... has the right effects... it would HELP credibility if the person bothered to get the famed revolution controller into the shot. Multiple Panasonic TV's in the room. It's a wierd room to have alot of TV's and supposedly MP 3 and at least one Revolution... :\ I dunno. I guess it could just as easily be come kind of computer game mod... but again... alot of work to for a not so great image. COULD be a tester or even taken at a Nintendo location with said material on display somewhere private. Who knows? It's be nice to have some concrete info. Photoshop?
