    Some [fake] GTA V screenshots have "leaked"

    Some photos of an alleged Xbox 360 build of GTA V are making the rounds today, and at first glance they're actually pretty good. However, moving on to some light analysis we can soon see they are quite likely to be fakes. I am not going to link to the source website because they are virtually unheard of and in all likelihood they were created as a publicity stunt, they have even since updated their post to point out they are likely fake anyway.

    Here are the images in question (click for full size):

    gtav-fake-map-1_th.jpg

    gtav-fake-map-2_th.jpg

    gtav-fake-map-3_th.jpg

    As you can see, the images appear to show an Xbox 360 build of the game. The menus seem to lack a bit of polish, and we can see a thinner variant of the Helvetica typeface is being used (possibly deliberate but may be an error), but what would seem like the first somewhat obvious sign of fakery is that the dollar sign is on the wrong side of the number.

    Also, it is strange to see the "Stats" option greyed out. This doesn't make sense to us as these are viewable at any time in every GTA game.

    As for the map itself, in our opinion there looks to be far too much countryside, approximately two thirds of the map if you look at how much physical space it takes up.

    There's probably a number of other things we're missing here. But our immediate opinion is most certainly fake.

    Do you agree they are fake? Or do you think they could actually be real? Let us know in the comments, and of course if you've found anything in the images that proves they are real/fake. We'll update this post if we get any other interesting information regarding these.

    ....a Rockstar representative has apparently.... - Apparently?

    That one of the characters (possibly playable) will have a Welsh accent and continuously complain about the heat since they are used to the cooler temperatures of their home in Switzerland. - Made me laugh hystrically, if you don't know why then fuck off and die.

    The rest of it looks like a compilation of every GTA V rumour ever posted to me.

    Provide a source for this bullshit or I swear to god I'll campaign to have you added to the emoticon gallery alongside Luis and Olivia.

    Edit: Taken from that link Birdie provided -

    "My source inside Rockstar has leaked general and pretty specific details on Grand Theft Auto 5. My source remains confidential, but he is filled in on some very cool details on the game which once again raise the excitement factor and playability of Grand Theft Auto. Far from becoming stale, if what he has told me is true then...." - Can't trust his own source?

    I'm tired of shit sites full of bullshitters, glad I found this place.

    Looks like it'll be a short lived campaign.

    A number of details have leaked and a Rockstar representative has apparently confirmed that some of the leaks are real, however would not specify which ones.

    What we've seen (potential spoilers below):

    - A still picture of a table with pictures, a gift box and a plane ticket labelled Liberty City > San Andreas for a Mr. Niko Bellic.

    GTA-IV-Plane-Ticket.jpg

    The ticket can be found on the R* social site after moving a few things around.

    - YoungMaylay (the voice actor of CJ from San Andreas) making a ton of tweets about Grand Theft Auto 5 since the announcement.

    - A list of characters who need voice actors that went through a talent agency used by Rockstar. The names and descriptions of the characters match that of GTA-styled characters.

    What we've heard:

    - That the game will not have a single central character, but that you will play through the story of several different characters.

    - That the game will take place in a larger San Andreas, with a much larger Las Venturas (based on Las Vegas), a Hawaii-styled island, and addition to Los Santos (Los Angeles) and San Fierro (San Francisco) there will be a new Chicago-based area as well as a Washington, D.C.-based area.

    - That one of the characters (possibly playable) will have a Welsh accent and continuously complain about the heat since they are used to the cooler temperatures of their home in Switzerland.

    Since the site has gone up, Rockstar has changed the V to show a picture within it as well as a set of co-ordinates. A collection of said co-ordinates have been compiled below:

    Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI, USA

    Lighthouse, Port Washington, WI, USA

    Interstate 94 Highway, USA

    Pink Palace Of The Rainbow Motel, Chicago, IL, USA

    Red Light Restaurant, Chicago, IL, USA

    Viking Ski Shop Inc, Chicago, IL, USA

    O'hare International Airport, Chicago IL, USA

    Matterhorn, Zermatt, Switzerland

    Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, HI, USA

    Bank of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI, USA

    Graham Builders Inc, Honolulu, HI, USA

    Star of Honolulu Cruises & Events, Honolulu, HI, USA

    Shanghai Red's Restaurant, Marina del Rey, CA, USA
