Grand Theft Auto IV Screenshot Confirmed Fake

Posted Jun 22, 2006 at 1:17PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Photoshop, Rockstar

A supposed screenshot from Grand Theft Auto IV has appeared on the internet, causing all kinds of speculation. Unfortunately, Rockstar has confirmed it to be false. The shot is very convincing and well done, but the big guys say it's not real. The screenshot was done with Photoshop, and includes elements from Crazy Taxi and other games. Excellent Photoshop work, no doubt about that. Hopefully we can get some REAL screenshots soon (or at least some more details). Until then, keep checking back for more details.

It looks so real!!! Whats with the fruit basket in the middle of the street though... And it would be completely awesome to have a mace in the GTA... Imagine whacking a car with that! (Uh oh urge to be violent rising... Must call Jack Thompson!)

"Whats the fruit basket in the middle of the street"

Its supposed to be the map, but in 3d i guess.

# Ohhh... — h3inousguy 2006-06-22 08:13

I see now, didnt look close enough... Cool map design, but i think it would be ineffective.

# this goes out to all the fake screenshot makers — Guest 2006-06-22 08:28

This screenshot is a lot better than the fake ones for PSP liberty city stories. Like the Anheiser Busch radio commercial: We salute you, mr. fake screenshot maker. [Background singer] Mr. fake screenshot maker! You fool hundreds of people waiting to see screens for the most popular games. [Background singer] Playin' them all for fools! Then it's confirmed fake, raising their hopes and dropping them like a brick wall.

# it wont come with a hud — Guest 2006-06-22 08:59

i dont think the next gta will have HUD maybe you have to press select to bring em out and to hide em, i hope cause it makes the game look tarky. just look at how clean fight night was.

# man at least this screen-shot is not true — senjutsu 2006-06-22 09:43

the screen-shot is really bad, I mean: If this was a real sreen-shot the game who look REAL BAD, this is not even good graphics lol, anyway the REAL gta is supposed to be done with the R.A.G.E. engine, so expect WAY better graphics! =D

# good photoshop? — Guest 2006-06-22 11:06

I dont know about you guys, but I didnt believe for one second that this was real. it looks totally bogus.

# I don't know... — Vecha 2006-06-22 11:55

You do know that it may not look the same as the tennis game...seeing as there are more models and objects in gta games?....it may look somewhat like the tennis game...but i don't have my hopes up..

still can't wait to get it though

# idiots — Guest 2006-06-22 12:47

gta4 wont look anything like table tennis, just because it uses the same engine doesnt mean the graphics will be the same, also in table tennis its just a few people in a small room, so its easy to render hi res stuff, whereas gta4 will be huge so the gfx will have to be toned down a fair bit to cope.

# >>>>>> — Guest 2006-06-22 13:10

Idiots?!?! How can you be so sure what it will look like don't talk rubbish no one knows what it will look like until it's done>>> |AIMED AT LOL

Did you even read my post?

# fake ass bushs election — Branden 2006-06-22 14:40

it looks way too cartoony for and gta game.

# Cool — Guest 2006-06-22 15:31

The screenshot doesn't look that bad. It would be refreshing to see a girl as the main character and it looks a little cartoony but I still like it.

# .. — Guest 2006-06-22 16:06

youd have to be retarded to believe if this was real....

# u already kno its fake — Guest 2006-10-07 05:37

man even if its real i wouldnt like it cuz u will play as a girl i would like 2 c a caracter like cj again like another part 2 of san andreas where it step up 2 another level
