MosquitoSmasher Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I could understand people calling him out as a fake if he stated something like "I saw a dinosaur running amok in Liberty City, four VTOL warships came along and made quick work of it" I don't see why someone would go to all this trouble to fake being a Media Reporter thats seen the same demo as everyone else and reporting on what they have saw, he gets nothing out of it. Anyway, I asked him to confirm his view on the gore. http://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAutoV/co...ive_ama/ca7lk12 Cool of you to ask dude, but i don't think we're gonna get a clear answer on this. The dude didn't notice all kinds of small things, things pretty much anyone would see if you ask me...so there's a good chance he didn't pay well enough attention to this neither. @Eternal Moonshine That's what i think too. The Reddit guy probably thought that, while the person asking only meant bulletholes and bloodspatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murad96 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 He didn't see sh*t. A photo of a shirt doesn't really prove he saw it does it -_- Then how do you think he got all that merchandise stuff? Amazon? You can't buy some of it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Notorious MOB Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 either he's full of sh*t or he is really bad at leaking information. Leaking? The person, along with journalists from other sites, saw the same press demo. He's doing a Q&A on the Internet. Didn't other sites do this, as well? Of course, his is more live. Perhaps leaking was the wrong word.. I should've said revealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, attention. And the more legitimate he appears to be (by being coherent and not actually making too many things up), the more attention he gets. Just an option.

Kirsty Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Much of the information is just describing a personal viewpoint of how he saw the demo. We've seen it written before by other outlets who saw it, hence the mixed feelings of it's legitimacy. However, many of the questions he's also answering that he doesn't know/didn't get shown. Most fakes would put some crazy, obviously fake, info in there just to get word spread (e.g. that 500 vehicle stat from another "preview") The fact that he's trying to be honest and proving himself gives him credit.

Adriaan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If anyone can do a summary, or pull out any statements pertinent to the press demo, feel free to get in touch with me on posting a new topic. This way, people don't have to read through pages of pages of people calling it fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised the lengths people go to get attention. Anyhoo, fake or not, this does show how we're not going to be able to wring out more information from the demos; every aspect seems to have been described across the different outlets, and we're not going to scrape off any new info here - especially with vague answers.

God i wish these months could go faster. I'm tired of this stuff almost every day now.

IronZombie Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 How can you not believe him? Look at the proof. It says his name on the paper, and AmA. It's legit. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.. but on the off chance you're being serious, I should point out that showing a picture of a t-shirt with a GTA V logo on it doesn't mean sh*t. I think this guy is pulling a lot of legs here today and I can't believe how easily the sheeple masses are falling for it. Are you stupid? It has his name, and "Reddit AMA" on the paper. It's legit. Are YOU stupid? So what? I have a pen and paper too. Does that mean I have any inside information to share? Nope. Stop buying into bullsh*t. He presents you with no conclusive proof whatsoever and you hang onto his every word. Dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicluca Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Summary of what Klausa said His rough drawing of the HUD http://puu.sh/3358J.jpg Weapons can not be used whilst parachuting The camera angle was different to RDR and IV, it wasn't as close to the protagonist but not too far away The invite to the event http://i.imgur.com/k1px2a8.jpg Merchandise he received http://i.imgur.com/1h3yKCJ.jpg The new weapon wheel is very Red Dead Redemption like and of course replaces the weapon scroll system from IV The game overall is more colorful, cheerful and relaxed than IV and the interactions between protags are "great" The gore level wasn't any different from what we saw in the recent trailers Framerate was smooth and stayed at 30 FPS all through the demo When driving the radar becomes 3D and almost flat, like a Sat-Nav The radar is now rectangular and panoramic The graphics looked as good as Red Dead Redemption but weren't as good as seen in the trailer. The HUD did not contain a speedometer. The radar features a bar underneath formed of 3 smaller 1/4 bars of health, armour and special. The car handling LOOKED alot better, almost like MCLA The demo was played on a debug PS3 We need to carefully choose where we put our getaway vehicle (they put it under the bridge) since pedestrians could take a picture of suspect vehicle and cause problems for us. The character control isn't awkward or glitchy like Niko's was The minmap is in bottom left and when asked Klaus told us it wasn't styled like a blueprint The pedestrians are more alive than in IV Althought they didn't properly see the map it felt bigger than IV When bringing up the weapon wheel, time slows down Los Santos' small details include rats seen scurrying on the streets The health regenerates to 50%, after that you need powerups to recover Catchy radio songs were heard, including one Klaus (The Redditor) heard on a Polish radio last year Lazlow was strongly hinted to be back No mission complete music (or he didnt get to hear any) Each character has the same running speed The mission he saw (Van Heist from the recent trailers) was very cinematic and contained one long intro cutscene and 2 or 3 smaller cutscenes.

Kirsty Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Forget the drawings, he has other sources to prove himself: http://polskilive.pl/artykuly/grand-theft-...my-gre-w-akcji/ This website had a preview, like many other European websites, and describes the demo just how we've seen before. No big deal there, but check the sentence above the trailer at the bottom, it features a few names, one of which is this guy (John Klaus) and links to his Twitter account (which has already proven is his own because he tweeted from it).

That's not a picture that the Reddit guy made (well, the rough drawing is), the person in the GTA V HUD thread just updated his based on current information. That's why it looks almost exactly the same. I'm not saying that I think he's real necessarily, just that this isn't evidence against his credibility.

He presents you with no conclusive proof whatsoever and you hang onto his every word. Dumbass. Then i have a question for you. WHAT does this guy need to provide to you for you to finally believe he's not trolling? Sure he doesn't answer plenty of questions, that should be pretty to answer, but that doesn't mean he's lying. So how do you think he got a hold of GTA V stuff like this? It's not like you can just buy these things you know. I work for a gaming site and we went to Take Two Holland last year, and we played MP3 there a month before its release. We received a very cool GTA III coffeemug and a shirt. But if i was to show you that and i had given my impressions....you wouldn't have believed me? I think there's a limit to calling all these sources fake...when they provide proper things, i think we should just believe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosquitoSmasher Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 GTAMad Good job man. But the part about the gore has been corrected. The guy didn't remember the GTA IV gore and said it wasn't any different from the GTA V trailers, so that's good. By the way....this is yet another source that says the graphics are on RDR level. Really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, is this guy real or not? If he's real, how do you know? Seems real. He is showed merch he got from the event and he is in fact an editor at a polish gaming site. But doesn't mean there definitely isn't some guy pretending to be him using merch any of us could have as well. He hasn't said anything drastically didferent from the previews so its not a big deal either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
