Deffpony Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 To the guys questioning Adriaan source/credibility: I am aware that there are a lot of new members, or even members that are less savvy to the happenings of the forum, but for the past 8 months Adriaan has shown that he has a leg up on us in terms of info. When the picture of Franklin and Chop leaked alot of people said it was fake, but Adriaan stated it seems legit and to expect an announcement soon. The next day there was an announcement. The day before Andy from GI tweeted about going to rockstar games, Adriaan was teasing the entire sub forum about something excited coming. Shortly after we got the announcement for the GI cover. There have been several occasions where Adriaan has given us a heads up or clarification, only to be proven correct. He has never revealed his source but how can you expect him to. The accuracy and consistency of his claims are proof enough of his source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just To Clarify Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 As Adriaan said, it's definitely just product placement in a spot for Sony (The Last of Us) The GTAV poster in the background is simply fake - made by Sony themselves, not delivered by Rockstar of course - it looks sh*tty and the V looks different than the official one! Here you go.... I hope you see the point. Compare with the official V logo here http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargam...o_2560x1600.jpg oh and sry Adriaan - yes it's me Emmi - I'm off again - just wanted to say this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartosz.t Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Maybe its SONY commercial for PlayStation 4. And at the end of this commercial we will see inscription "Grand Theft Auto V for PS3 and PS4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFIREFLY Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Adriaan have hinted things before and nothing happened, he was wrong few times. I believe him now but still not fully, I always want a credible source for that being PS ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Only a handful of members are willing to take some member's posts as fact. The same rules apply to everybody, including mods when it comes to information. I think it's better not to post if you have no way of backing it up, or just know most people will still be skeptical. Skepticism is certainly not new to us. The same thing happened with the Spring 2013 posters last year when people called it "fake" and that it had nothing to do with GTAV. When we moved the topic to the official news section, and said to expect an official announcement the following week (it happened, by the way) - there were still people who said the "mods and admins" are too gullible and will believe anything. In this case, we are actually saying that this live production has absolutely nothing to do with Rockstar Games or GTAV and are met with similar skepticism. We can't win. If you don't trust people who have been involved with fan sites for 10 years, then we won't try and convince you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accuracy and consistency of his claims are proof enough of his source. Again true, but just let Adriaan speak for himself as he did. Everybody will find out on their own time and some(like myself) will never take anybody's word as fact. Even though I trust Adriaan much more then anyone else on most issues GTA related. Its the same way for any journalist from any official publication. It's just better to post a source if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We basically have a GTA mole, something most of us would have begged for beforehand, and now that he is here you all demand proof. Like I said he has proven his claims to be accurate historically. @inflamed: Seems like you are just clinging to the thought of this being V related. You and GMS should have dinner sometime.

Pretty much this. News needs a source to be confirmed but same doesn't seem to apply for disproving it. Either way I look at it like the old saying.

milkmansun Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 With no confirmed sources of this being a SONY ad I'm keeping this thread going. Update: 2 New pics in my OP Thanks for the Info man.. I belive in Adriaan.. he dosen't need to give his source. But atleast more info from them would be great. Also i believe its possible that PS4 release for GTA V.. Like last time GTA 4 was shown in a tatoo of microsoft guys arms.... may be this is Sony's way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution-XW Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 This is a really cool find. It would be cool if they made 3, one for each protagonist. Imagine each protag has its own theme, like this one is for Michael, Trevor's could be in the desert and Franklin's could be in the hood or beach. Very interesting indeed.

Dutch Psycho Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 And why is this thread still open? Because there's some weird looking v logo in the shoot. If this is a sony only ad,then there is nothing to discuss right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleVlad Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Doesn't look like an V ad to me. Like some other guys said, it's probably just The Last of Us. A rundown city with plants that are f*cking huge? But then again, guys with coloured hoodies? Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
