It seems like most everyone has been calling bullshit from the get go. That's all I'm saying.

There are several people in here that stand out from the rest in their attempts to validate the review (Such as one poster suggesting that the user might have simply played the game at the R* HQ).

that's a bummer that on 360 car tires will be square, and Niko has been replaced by a bald space marine. and if you don't have a hard drive then there are only four vehicles, and no day-night cycle. but ps3 has fifteen-player split screen co-op and the game is printed on a solid gold disc instead of bluray and also there's nudity and swearing but they couldn't fit that stuff on 360 so instead every character sounds like charlie brown's teacher and there's only one character model. confirmed!

You forgot to mention that the PS3 version scored a 12 out of 10, and that the 360 version wasn't even worth rating.

You neglected to mention that he is flamboyantly homosexual bald space marine which leads me to believe you're a big faker!!!

I am sort of hoping this review is real that way atleast i know which version to get, although the cop spawning thing has to be bogus.

I'm pretty sure it means early preview showings of the game. It's possible that the writer has been in the Rockstar office and has played the game there.

This review is really badly written. Especially with regard to the Euphoria paragraph.

Don't forget that Assassin's Creed review from Empire around 4 months ago. It said one version was broken. Turned out to be false and not written by the named reviewer.

Or the extras? Or the fact that the 360 version is the version that they primarily show to the press? I'm not the one going into every thread asking are they equal. There is more than enough information out there to make a reasonably good decision. From the looks of it, this place only has one game to talk about, and it is talking about GTA4. It isn't even hosting its own pics, talking about splitscreen, which would cripple a top flight PC and installation of a game on the 360. This article is bullshit and should have been discarded from the get-go.

This site does sound suspect and hard to believe but if R* does not debunk soon then GAF, IGN, gfaqs and all other forums will meltdown soon.

Yup, this is the good thing about this website "leak". Rockstar should hopefully have a comment on its validity. But it probably won't be till monday so we get a whole weekend of craziness!

I don't think its real, but I've seen crazier things happen online.

It is funny what people will believe. I've got a thread about this on another forum, and I even have the words 'fake review' in the thread title, and they are still believing it.

There is nothing to debunk. Give me 10min and i'll make some webpage with a GTA4 review too claiming that the PS3 version suffers from huge framerate drops etc.

Come on :lol

I wont believe anything until i see a "real" review from a known website.

Yea, the fire is already spreading and fast. N4G just exploded so I expect IGN to do the same in about 3 minutes = ).

Players just want a valid reason as to why they spend their big bucks on their console, thats why they believe even if the thread topic has the word "fake" in it.

Features present on one platform but not present on the other supporting platform and not announced by the studio which may also not be true NEEDS to be debunked.

Or maybe people should stop putting weight into the ramblings of every individual person on the internet over the words of say, the game's producers and the legitimate press.

If Rock* or any other company had to debunk EVERY false rumor that arose concerning their games, they'd never get any work done.

But why am I surprised? The executive producer of Fallout 3 had to come here on GAF to debunk the rumor that F3 was PS3 exclusive, even though it was posted by a retail employee who probably heard it from his local Sony rep.

Well I'm glad I'm getting the ps3 version, I just dont understand why they wouldnt show the ps3 version since it seems to be better in a lot of ways.

Ps3=Splitscreen Exclusive
360=DLC exclusive

I'll take free splitscreen oppose to pay for DLC












See what I did there?
