GTA V Leak confirmation + PS3 Digital Pre-order Update

European PS Blog writes:
"Regrettably, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTA V assets. These assets were posted online. We have since removed the digital pre-order file from the PlayStation Store in Europe."

Hmmm... Well at least they didn't get access to the full game. That would be bad. Looks like it was a bunch of audio files.

Damn hacker asshats.

[BehindGames]

finally an official confession

[yewles1]

Told you so...

http://n4g.com/news/1339220...

Can't have nice things.

[JackStraw]

omg no. whatever will we do?! some hacker got access to some audio files! GA V IS RUINED!

/s yawn

[frostyhat123]

Keep your eyes peeled, people are posting the game ending on different forums.

[maximus1985]

wow no way! this is so messed up!

[brodychet]

No don't keep your eyes peeled o.o keep them closed! Stay away from the internet until 9/17!

[gedapeleda]

It's fake

[kingPoS]

At this point I doubt it.

While they might now be able to play from the preorder. that doesn't mean other things can't be extracted.

Remember... some of these guys probably worked on or are familiar with mods like ENB for gta4. The file system maybe similar or exact or varied.

[gedapeleda]

Most of the stuff is fake.
Just guys trying to be master trole, trust me I've seen a lot of shait. The random the black guy dies is not so much of a spoiler innit.

[Scatpants]

The black guy dies.

[M-M]

Put spoiler in the story title, somebody spoiled the ending on the blog's comment section.

[maximus1985]

now im scarred bye N4G

[stage88]

The ending is out already? Well that's not good.

[pixelsword]

Agreed; see ya in a day or so while the lawyers sort this thing out.

[Software_Lover]

And there goes early downloads for the kiddies!!!!

[maximus1985]

First Ben Afleck is batman and now THIS!

[Software_Lover]

WTF is this world coming to?

[Me-Time]

It's bad enough that he starred as a latino/italian/french/irish man in his own film about a true story. Now he's batman? I don't have anything against him, but what the hell? I'd prefer it if he didn't ever cast Blake Lively in one of his movies again while not trying to be the next Tom Hanks (Tom Hanks is the best though) than being cast as one of the most iconic superheroes to ever have been imagined.

He can only be one or the other. Center of attention in the film industry or a behind the scenes kind of guy IF he keeps going the route he's been taking. Again, nothing against him except for the fact that he's getting on my damn nerves.

Sorry for this very ignorant and off-topic rant.

lolz good 1

[TheBurger29]

haha

[ABeastNamedTariq]

I need to leave the Internet for a while..

[solidboss]

instead of taking it off the store how about push the release date FORWARD....the game has already gone gold millions of people have preordered it, what are you waiting for?

[PiTCHBLaCK]

Honestly I have no Idea why so many Disagreed with you, The Game went GOLD, and I'd think people would want it Now rather then Later. It went Gold after all. Hell, since it went Gold I want it now to!. mines already pre-ordered, did that in February!.

[GentlemenRUs]

Going GOLD does not really mean the game is ready for launch.

Now that the games files/data/database has been completed, They need to burn it to thousands upon thousands of DVDs/BluRays while making the cases.

They give enough time between GOLD and launch to get all those copies made ;)

[PiTCHBLaCK]

Yeah I Figured as much, but still Want it now! LOL

[GHOSTxx420]

Well said my friend

[ZBlacktt]

Like I said the other day. This is why we can't have nice things. So now, I doubt Sony ever does this again. So now, you will have to wait until day of launch to download the whole game. Lord knows how long that's going to take. The PS3, not like the PS4 can't play games mid down loading. So you are just going to have to sit and wait it out.... Again Hackers...

[animegamingnerd]

sony is probably never doing this again (though i thought it was too soon they should of done it like a couple days before the games release)

[OhhWerd]

It was probably a test to see if it would be hackable, wanted to see if their protection on it was adequate or what more they would need. Sucks when a few always inevitably ruin it for the masses....

[crazyeightz]

Hackers everywhere are currently thanking Sony for getting the game early.

[Hicken]

Nobody has the game early...

[GraveLord]

...so why remove the digital pre-order? Legitimate user didn't have access to them. Also, anyone who really cares about spoilers would have already been avoiding GTA V news anyway. I don't get the logic behind this.....

[rainslacker]

Why would they have to remove it? From what I understand it's just some data files that got leaked, but the game isn't playable. If people have an interest in those data files, then it's likely already on torrents. The honest folk would just let it sit there until it was time to play.

This is one of those times where the honest customer gets screwed. I blame the hackers I guess, but Sony's reaction seems a bit too much.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

It's a business decision, Think about it....One of the Best Developers(R*) made GTA V. Do you really want to get on there bad side? Also, Sony has to assume that the majority of people will peek.

EDIT: I mean It's GTA V!, People WILL Peek and Cheat!, It's not like It's Madden or some other game.

[ShenmueIIIDreamer]

Told ya so. Good on Sony though for taking it down. It was only a matter of time..

[Fergusonxplainsall]

Hope they don't ruin it for the folks who did buy it legitimately..On US PS store, over 600 people have rated the game.(to rate the game, they've bought it already)

Maybe a preload the Friday before release instead of a month before..

Sucks people have to TRY and ruin the experience for others..
I'll be ignoring the internet for awhile. Peace to all.

[N4Gguy1]

Good descision gonna do that too if they keep uploading spoilers.

[vigilante_man]

There are 600 Kentucky-Fried Idiots? How can you possibly rate a game that has not being played yet?

[TXIDarkAvenger]

GJ Sony for having the game digital download. ROFL, leaked game because of you. clap clap

[N4Gguy1]

Damn hackers only 22 days left and they're hacking the shit out of it just wait and see what will be in the game. Maybe PlayStation will block the preloads in future time because of hackers like these.

[Lou Ferrigno]

Douche bags

Rockstar Respond :

We’re pleased to confirm that Grand Theft Auto V has officially gone gold and we’re now preparing the game for release on September 17th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, as many of you may already know, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTAV assets leading to leaked information and media from the game appearing online. You can read Sony’s statement on this here: http://blog.us.playstation.... As you can imagine, we are deeply disappointed by leaks and spoilers being spread in advance of the game's launch. GTAV represents years of hard work by many people across the world, and we all couldn't be more excited to finally share it with you properly this September 17th. Please stay tuned here at the Rockstar Newswire for all announcements about GTAV between now and game release as we definitely still have more to officially reveal.

As a specific note to our Social Club community, please remember Rule #1 right above the Comment Box. Please do not proliferate such things here as we certainly don’t want any misinformation spread from things that are fake nor do we want spoilers spread regarding anything that might be true. Anyone engaging in such discussion here at the Rockstar Newswire before September 17th will have commenting privileges revoked until well after the game’s release. Thank you all for your understanding and your support

sorry for the long quote ~

[WitWolfy]

I knew this would've happened...

[Condemnedman]

Another psn hack tut tut

[Mikeyy]

Nobody "hacked" PSN, the files were preloaded to the HDD and the guy is digging through his HDD trying to access them

[Condemnedman]

Lol relax I'm having a laugh.

[WayneKerr]

Another free pass for Sony no doubt.

You'd have to be a complete Mongoloid to give Sony any of your personal details.

Honestly I recon your moneies would be safer with the bank of uganda
