Two of the strangest and most fancy phonies in recent memory have actually got GTA fans thrilled for no factor.
Apart from an official statement for Grand Theft Auto 6, there’s been definitely no info on Rockstar’s acutely waited for follow up, which has actually left fans desperate for anything looking like an update, as they take even months old article as a tease of an approaching reveal.
While there have actually definitely been genuine leakages thanks to expert reports and the infamous hacking event, it’s really simple for somebody to slap together phony information and get excited fans thrilled over absolutely nothing.
That appears to be precisely what’s occurred not when however two times today; the very first of which is a supposed letter from publisher Take-Two to a Miami hotel about marketing an approaching ‘triple A game.’
Taken at stated value, it appears Take-Two is seeking to show a poster for among its video games on the side of the parking lot for The Guild in late summer season.
Although it doesn’t point out GTA 6 by name, that’s the very first video game anybody would consider when taking a look at the letter. The reality that GTA 6’s commonly assumed 2024 launch date suggests marketing would begin this year includes fuel to the fire.
You can see the letter on your own by means of Reddit, however numerous have actually called it out as a phony. After all, the letter might have been typed and printed by anybody and the source never ever declares to be the recipient or a staff member of The Guild or Take-Two.
Not to discuss its efforts to censor the name of whoever sent the letter are exceptionally poor. The black bar leaves enough for you to understand the sender’s name is Paul and while there is a Paul Swiderski who operates at Take-Two as the director of channel marketing, that information is easily available.
The poor censoring recommends this was purposeful to make the letter appear genuine. The option is that this is genuine and the leaker is just inept, indicating it’ll be really simple for Take-Two to track them down and present the source to their attorneys.
Take-Two would likewise likely have the initial post erased and yet it’s still available for you to take a look at, providing additional credence to it being a simple forgery.
The other expected leakage to have actually made the rounds just recently was a real trailer. Fan made trailers are a cent a lots, however what makes this one unusual is that it was found playing as an advertisement on other YouTube videos.
You require to spend for YouTube marketing so somebody headed out of their method to not just make a phony trailer however spend money to make it appear more genuine than it in fact is.
The channel that released the trailer is even called Rockstar North (the designer for the GTA series), no doubt to additional technique fans, however numerous rapidly deduced it was phony considering that its ‘gameplay’ included clips from modded variations of previous GTA video games and real-life video footage.
It even utilizes video footage from Dead Island 2, with one of that game’s developers highlighting how among the shots in the trailer is simply lifted from a Dead Island 2 sneak peek.
Said trailer has actually considering that been erased and we were not able to discover a correct reupload. Plus, there are at least 2 incorrect Rockstar North channels, neither of which do a good job of appearing main provided the absence of videos and activity.
