Rockstar warns against 'inevitable' GTA 5 leaks

4.5
With less than a week to go until Grand Theft Auto 5 hits stores, Rockstar Games has warned gamers of the "inevitable game info and asset leaks" expected to hit the net in the run up to launch.

Commenting on a post on Rockstar Newswire asking fans not to discuss spoilers, the publisher said that "now that we're within a week of game release, there's bound to be some inevitable game info and asset leaks.

"As always per Rule no.1 above the Comment Box, we have a strict policy against posting or discussing such things here on our own site. Anyone posting about leaked assets or info will have their comment removed and repeat offenders will have their commenting privileges revoked."

Rockstar's warning of its heavy-handed approach to tackling leaks followed the leak of the game's map yesterday afternoon.

The map, which appears to have been snapped from the game's official strategy guide, shows the entire game world, including all the locations players will get to explore in the final game.

The publisher added that it wanted to ensure that its website was kept clean of spoilers to "ensure everyone who [visits] between now and game release can feel free to chat about the game without having anything spoiled for them".

It was rumoured last night that the game had found its way into the hands of a piracy group, with comments from the community (via NeoGAF) reporting that the Xbox 360 version's second disc comes loaded with a new type of piracy protection.

GTA 5 launches on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next Tuesday, September 17.

I don't really see what the point is of seeing the game early, your just ruining your experience with the game

If someone leaks it I just won't watch gameplays and stuff that are posted. I want to wait for the official release and play it for myself.

Third_Eye Waiting for the PC release, I gotta wait a long time. Hearing story spoilers before the 360/PS3 version even comes out would suck and ruin some of the wait.


I really want it for PC, but I'm just gonna get it for the 360 on release date :/

antilog The people need to hurry up and leak the game on the pirate bay so I can download it :D


HAHA!! i couldn't agree with you any more lol ;)


Well you should feel retarded because it clearly says disc two has piracy protection... And if you know we'll you need to install the second disc before playing so that's how they tell you have a burned game.

Actually with a disc image burner like Daemon Tools Lite I don't think it would be hard.


Yes it would... The only reason I know this is because I am actually in school for stuff like this and some of the stuff you can doing with a game is insane they can put coding in the game that can read if you have flashed firmware and etc and all that information can be sent to them... Don't get me wrong you can probably play on like maybe a jtag. But trust me there is a lot of features to are xboxs,game disc, etc that we don't even know. So I mean go ahead and try and beast of luck but I would not recommend it... Of topic I do burn my own games but I will not be burning for this one.


Except how is the info going to be sent to them when most of us don't play online with our flashed xboxes and don't even hook up the wireless adapter or ethernet cable? So that part makes no sense at all, but they may have protection on the disk, which will most likely be bypassed by someone.
