50 Real Photos That Look Like They’re Straight Out Of A Video Game Or Movie (New Pics)

Gaming has come a long way since a physicist invented what's believed to be the world’s first video game in 1958. Tennis For Two was, to say the least, a very basic game. There was a tennis court represented by just two lines: one being the ground, the other being the net. The ball was a mere dot that bounced back and forth. And the game was unable to keep score for players.

Today, there are estimated to be more than 3 billion gamers globally. They’re able to play against each other in real time, communicate via headsets, and get lost in a virtual world that looks very real. The industry has opened the door to a whole new niche known as video game art. And for some, a career path as a video game illustrator. But no matter how real a video game scene looks, it's still carefully created.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are real-life photographs that look like they come straight out of a video game or movie scene. We've scoured the depths of the 'net to find the most gamey-looking pics for your scrolling pleasure. Let us know your favorites by upvoting them. And don't miss the chat Bored Panda had with gamer, illustrator and animator Romy Latter. She’s the co-founder of Unsigned Double Collective, an indie studio that creates games.
