Fake GTAIV Intro "Leaked"

Published at 11:48 AM PST

Supposedly, an intro video of an early copy of Grand Theft Auto IV is making rounds out on the good ol' interwebs. Problem is, it's a blatant fake. We have compiled a list of reasons why it's a fake.

  1. The person don't even show us the entire disc. He just shows him inserting the disk and then moves the camera towards the screen really fast.
  2. When the PS3 goes over to the game selection, there is a folder after a demo. The PS3 always sorts the folders first, then the games.
  3. Selecting it so soon? The person hurries and starts the disc. The XMB game selection isn't even up for a second and he starts the game. If you want us to believe, wait a few seconds so we can see that there is a glow around the icon.
  4. The video looks great, but just doesn't fit Rockstar's style with GTAIV.
  5. Where are the credits? GTA intro videos usually have beginning credits.
  6. The Take-Two logo has never been used in a GTA intro. Why start now?
  7. The Rockstar studio logos have always been before an intro. Also, they use their unique studio color, not black.
  8. The Statue of Happiness is much closer than in the video. This can be told by looking a un-used site intro that was released a while back.

We do have to give the guy credit though, he does have some great talent in making videos. If you want to view the fake video, it's below.
