These Grand Theft Auto screenshots are fake!
19 totally false GTA images spawned by the lovable internets
This is a spectacular fake, created byGTAForums dweller '_raven177', and is another example of what makes the best sort of fakes - create something that people desperately want to be real.
And this is an example of the silliest kind of fake - slap something together in about 5 seconds using Photoshop, making sure to include GTA staple items like guns and cars. Rockstar Table Tennis' Liu Ping is really broadening his horizons here.
Another from the fake screenshot school of 'take it off a TV screen to make it look real'. Starring an instantly recognisable rebel fighter from Half-Life 2.Dead clever work there, 'Inky'.
GTA fake screenshot tip - always include some kind of 'official' text. Gullible viewers will unquestionably accept anything that says something like "development screenshot" or "do not distribute". The fools.
