The tweet announced that Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories will be remastered and making their way to the Vita very soon. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
The picture comes via @JH_Boos on twitter.

Thank god someone has a brain. This is so damn fake it's not funny. Another thing to support this is why would they rerelease this on Vita? You could download it off the PS Store right now if you wanted to. This is just another case of people trying to bring down the Vita, as per usual. Thanks for pointing it out. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of things wrong with the tweet and it all stems from the cover art. Even if it was "placeholder" it still seems so...tacky. The other, is the tweet itself was deleted, leaving the only way to preserve it as up for suspicion. I wouldn't believe it's official until it's official, just to be sure.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty disappointing considering these games are already available on the store. Also a quick note, this was a real tweet that was then taken down by Rockstar. This is not photoshopped
ReplyDeleteProfessional Photo-Shopper here to tell you guys, sorry, but this is fake.
ReplyDeleteA quick Google search shows us that same picture comes up and is directly from Rockstar's Website. (http://www.rockstargames.com/n...
The
Rockstar logo in the bottom right hand corner, comes from a quick
Google Image Search and is the second image. (Note that whoever made
this did forgot to take out small (R) in the bottom right hand corner
which is not present in Rockstar Covers)
The "Rating Pending" Logo
is also quite easy to find. Again the first Google image result for
"Rating Pending" comes up with this. (note that the RP logo is far more
compressed and thus becomes blurrier as it has been resized compared
with the rest of the image)
The Box itself comes from, again, a
quick Google Image Search. Any art could be used have been used. (I
just picked Ninja Gaiden as it was among the top results for "PS Vita
Game Box") One would simply need to draw a black box over the existing
image. (Additionally, please note how much more consistent the Ninja
Gaiden promotional box art is compared to this)
On the top Right
hand corner we see the [NTSC V/C] Logo which does not exist on
promotional art for video games. Only after games pass certification do
they receive this. Moreover, PlayStation Vita games do not receive the
logo designation in that place.
What gives this away almost
immediately, is the fact that the image is not just blurry, but
inconsistent. Particularly the two logos at the bottom, both of which
have been clearly re-sized to fit this fake. While the center image
remains at a sharper resolution.
The twitter image is much sharper
in the original IGN posting, but never the less quite easy to recreate.
The background and user picture are copied directly from the official
Rockstar's verified twitter account and one must simply make a fake
twitter handle where one or two of the letters in handle are different
than Rockstar's current account handle. They were then Photoshopped
back in. The user then simply created a fake tweet and took a photo from
their cell phone or camera, uploaded it and posted it on IGN as well as
the artwork they created from a separate account.
Lastly I would
like to point out the flaw in this research. I am not sure how you came
by this information, but the originator of these pictures is two guest
accounts off the website IGN.com.
Presumably the same person has created two accounts. The first of
which happens to be the only person who noticed this posting out of the
2,700,000+ followers of Rockstar games Twitter account. Seems likely,
right?
The "second user," cites a non existing page on Reddit as
the source of the information and claims to have, again been the only
one to see it. I ask you, which is more likely that two separate people
posting within minutes of each other happened to be the ONLY TWO people
to find this, or that they are the same person with a Photoshopped
fake? Even without analytical knowledge of how Photoshop works or
creation of promotional art, the likelihood of this being fake is almost
certain.
Please update this site
accordingly as this is simply encouraging other users to do the same in
the future.
Wow seriously so disapointed, would have actually been impressed if they had anounced this for the 3DS. At this point I was expecting San Andres city stories, and I hated Grand Theft Auto San Andres on the original Xbox.
ReplyDeleteI would rather see GTA V for PS4. :-/
ReplyDeleteI'm perfectly fine with the port as long as it's hi-res and has a proper, console controls. Never played through the games on my PSP mainly due to the limiting controls and sub-PS2 graphics. I would love to play those in proper re-mastered versions. Be sure that if this will turn out to be at least a moderate success, they WILL make a new one for the Vita.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER PORT THIS IS GAY IM SO MAD, FUCK I THOUGHT WE WOULD FINALLY GET A GTA VITA, BUT NO THEY DECIDED TO RE-RE-RELEASE THESE GAMES FUCK
ReplyDeleteVITA is turnin into a Remastered,HD,Port , whe know nintendo did it with the 3ds with some popular games, but THAT WAS ONLY AT THE BEGINING OF THE CONSOLE BIRTH and did it only so they had more time to make other games for the console, eventually they start making some original games like zelda and mario kart and smash bros, SONY desperately need a change on perspective.
