"New Immigrants Guide ..."
Right, is there such a thing as an old immigrant? Every immigrant is new to the country they are entering, I think (I hope) Rockstar would catch the redundancy. Also, I'm no master of punctuation, but doesn't this "immigrants" need an apostrophe?

And the whore art on the disc gets flipped and reused as part of the load screen? Really? Highschoolartstudent, you don't fool me.

The disc is no doubt just a dvd video disc to play a modified intro. It's closer to the GTA 3 Intro than any of the 3d installments that I've seen (SA, VC, GTA3). That one didn't use moving images in the block shots...just previously released promo material, which is exactly what this one has.

It's definitely well put together...bravo on the performance.

A disk lable - trivial to print out (no hologram).

A screen grab of XBox Live followed by a dissolve to black.

God, I hope you and them are right. Because that intro looks so boring. I mean after all this hype. That's the introduction to next gen GTA? The back and DVD disc cover look boring too.

On the youtube video the guy says in the video description he will show gameplay when his paypal account hits $500. That means hes probably an American (but possibly Canadian or Australian or something). But the copy of GTAIV he has, has the 18 certificate from the UK on it. Meaning either he made a mistake with the disk, or he got it directly from Rockstar North who make GTA in Edinburgh in Scotland.

I found a site with the real one on today for the PS3 - leaked from someone who works at "Curry's" in the UK. It looked far more legit than this with everything you would expect to find on the back of a real case as well as a typical Rockstar-style description of the game. Can't remember where it was right now but will post again if i find it.

If the video poster on Youtube was able to load the intro then why not go one step further and at least allow the main menu to be shown like when your asked to press the A button or even the start button. fake DVD and also didn't show the bottom of the DVD itself that would of been the true give away as retail disks don't leave burn marks and home made DVDs show the burn even if it's filled to the maximum the disk can hold.

Gizmodo got the Clone Wars trailer Owen (and it looks awesome). [gizmodo.com]

Anyway, more relevant to the topic, I think it's a fake since why the hell do you have the game's credits as your intro? However, I've never played a GTA game so that may be how they do actually do all their intros. In that case, it's still probably fake. Missing the Take 2 logo in the intro...

Not to mention he takes extra care to make sure you don't see the bottom of the disc! He pops it out of the case and slides it over to the 360 so you only see the label he printed out. For all we know it was just a movie burned onto a blank DVD-R.

Also, the aspect ratio changes from 4:3 to 16:9 with a black bar at the bottom.

This game is getting a worldwide release, so obtaining a copy of the PAL version is possible. I remember getting Final Fantasy X a full month before it's actual release date. People made all types of accusations at that time when videos of it leaked online.

I'm inclined to believe somebody screwed up on the European side and shipped a few copies early, or this guy has serious connections with some distributer there. This is just a little too elaborate to be fake.

If it's real, more power to him. If it's fake, he's a damn genius. Either way, I'll be getting my copy on my birthday via family. It's going to be awesome.

Actually it's exactly elaborate enough to be a fake. The slow lingering box shots but not quite showing the back details, or manual. The hacked San Andreas loading screen and the loading bar tease.

If you look really carefully, some of the images used during the opening had promotional text still on them. ie. These were taken from the internet.

b) The disc has no hologram around it's center, therefor it's not a retail copy like the guy wants us to believe.

Also, they're obviously going to make the intro different than the last 3 games in the series. For the number of times they've said that GTAIV is trying to separate itself from it's past iterations, they're not going to make it look exactly like the last 3 intros.

[gamerush.zoomshare.com]

"After an unnecessary cut to the camera pointing at the screen, the intro itself contained an odd choice of music. Moreover, all of the pictures are from previously shown artwork, while official GTA intros contain cinematic scenes, like San Andreas.

All that, coupled with the fact that the person who made and posted the video on YouTube claimed to withhold any gameplay footage so that it wouldn't "ruin the game for you," is all we need to know."

Also:

[www.thatvideogameblog.com]

"First of all, the credits. The crew is EXACTLY the same as that from the introduction to San Andreas. I can imagine Rockstar is a relatively tight-knit family, and who would give up what for many developers would the dream job of working for them? But things change, San Andreas is four years old and I doubt there is a company on the planet that hasn't changed just a little in the last 4 years.

Secondly, the style is exactly the same as that of San Andreas. The only difference is the artwork used; this video uses still images as opposed to the video clips in the SA intro. Furthermore, all the images included are from the already available promotional artwork, are Rockstar really cheap enough to recycle all that old imagery?

Third, the video refuses to show any gameplay footage. Anyone with the time and effort to waste could produce an authentic-ish looking introduction movie to the game, but the gameplay is one thing that would take some real skill to fake, so why bother? If I had the game and the will to spoil it for everyone, I would at least let my character spawn for a brief second before cutting the video.

And finally, the most obvious one. There's no Xbox 360 security hologram (example) on the disc the camera man shows so proudly. The hologram is present on every 360 game disc to show the buyer they have purchased an authentic copy of a game, meaning the copy shown in this video is fake beyond any doubt.

There's always the chance that all this is ruse from Rockstar, nothing gets the gaming community more excited than leaked info. In which case I am just a pawn in Rockstar's game of marketing chess."

It's fake, albeit a great fake.

The disc has no hologram in the middle, like every 360 disc has.

Also, on the side of the box case, you can notice that he basically slipped the title in. It's almost impossible to notice in the video, but noticeably when paused:

[img291.imageshack.us]

What this intro is in reality is a modified version of the San Andreas intro running off a DVD, right down to the loading bar at the end.
