These GTA shots are fake.

theundertakergonzo | April 11, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2 
The article features a whole bunch of shots from GTA games which are well all fakes. Some of the shots really are blatanly fake whereas some do look somewhat real for the game. It's up to you what you think of the screens but some of them are rediculously unreal and really do give a good laugh i must say.
While researching our These Screenshots Are Fake! feature last month, we happened upon a few wonderfully faked GTA shots. Some we'd seen before, some we hadn't. But impersonating Rockstar's megaseries is so popular that, in just a few minutes, we had found a dozen such creations purporting to be everything from the very first GTA IV image to a super-realistic London-based episode.

So, obviously, there was only one thing to do - dedicate an entire feature to them! Just remember - don't believe your eyes. Not even for a second...

    Are you kidding? The one with the girl holding the mace is better than the real thing!

    You are joking right, Final Blade?

    I remember when that one of the girl was released ages ago and it was confirmed as fake. It was like the first fake shot.

      I said all of them besides the girl and mace looks convincing. Not that they were real.

    Saw this ages ago, it caused a big stir over the whole "Women being violent in a videogame" or something. Boo for political correctness.

    They look quite good. Impressive work of a hoodlum.
    But if you look at them a bit more carefully, it can be noted that the game looks too crude. And, one is too *bleep*ing realistic.

    One of them looks like it's from VC and another looks like it's an actual photo of London or something.

    Wow, even though those pictures look really good graphics-wise, for them to be a Grand Theft Auto screens this just doesn't seem likely. The game is overall good but based on the realistic parts of these scans we can definitely tell they are fake.

    xD, I never would have been able to tell the difference, I'm quite dumb when it comes to spotting fake screenshots . Nevertheless quite impressive, and if they've caused articles to pop up, then the person who made them got their job done of screwing around with our heads xD.

    I looked at some of those images, took a drink of juice, and looked at the pictures again. I then calmly walked into my bathroom and shoved my head down the toilet yelling "WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKIGNINGING"

    Seriously, posing photos as actual GTAIV screenshots? Sad.

    Why would anyone go through all this trouble to create fake screenshots? You've got to be a [insert insulting word here] to fall for them.

    The first one looks like they put a character from the game ''The Sims'' into GTA and the health bar doesn't even look right.Who would believe that? xD

    The old man in the London picture is from Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
