How the hell did they do that? Did they alter GTAV files or just redirect a server check or something? We need more info here

Recently over the last 12 months I'd say that they were similar.

pictures people have seen when booting GTA5. psn went down shortly after this.
looks legit. don't think this is a "planned maintenance"
The fuck?

Argh! Was planning to reinstall and play some Bloodborne today (had to remove it because Destiny started trying to eat my hard drive), but it appears I'll have to wait until it's back up. I just hope it's soon... I regret buying digital.
Playstation Network is down the last few hours in Greece as well and the world from what I am reading so i guess something serious happened...
Things like this happen, but I expected as a customer that Sony should make an announcement on whats going on
An attack, maintenance, hardware failure
And they should give us an estimation on when they expect the network to be back online
I guess it will be single player night tonight for most gamers, so Uncharted 3 Remaster for me... its time to get the platinum trophy...

Looks totally legit. Anonymous hacked GTA5 and then Sony pulled the plug on the whole PSN.... what?

I took them right off from fb. even bothered to host them on abload
pictures were taken from a casual german fb member. don't think they are fake.
haven't seen them myself though.
edit: trying to find source now.

The PC Store is back up for me.
Not at home so I can't try the PS4.

I'm sorry but how can you seriously believe this?

It only happened a few hours ago, get some perspective.

yes, source is everything here. Because it honestly could be the PS3 version of GTA V......which isn't hard to edit splash screens AT ALL. My PS3 had a custom logo booting up when I had it modded.

if it is leet hax folks, it doesn't seem to be anonymous as an official entity, but as usual people using the name. At least with no twitter announcement.

Yup, same thing happened to me. For some reason, games that have internet related features, as simple as leaderboards even, don't realise that PSN is down so they get stuck in a loop trying to connect to a server.
Pretty stupid really.

I'm not saying it's legit. But that dude is a casual and the pics look like they were taken with phone.

The GTAV pics are so obviously faked that I'm shocked people are even considering them real.

It's doesn't. Those are most likely 360/ps3/pc loading screens that someone modded. It's easy to do on them since you can access the game files and resign them but afaik PS4 hasn't been modded in that way yet, only to run Linux.

I'll give you an important life tip. If it's on Facebook, and only Facebook: It's fake.
