Following on from the news that Halo 2 code had been leaked onto the Internet, comes widespread talk of the same fate befalling Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PlayStation 2.
File sharing sites have the game listed for download, with one version weighing in at a whopping, not to mention credible, 3.95GB currently seeing a lot of activity. If this proves to be the game, it marks a worrying turn of events for Rockstar and the industry in general.
Clearly, publishers sometimes create mules and honeypots to try and encourage downloaders to waste time and bandwidth in the hope of discouraging them. We asked Rockstar for a response to this news, but they were unwilling to make comment at this time. SPOnG expects the beleaguered company to make an official statement in the coming days.
We’ll keep you updated.
it\'s from spong...

f*ck\'n butt pirates, probably not the real code though
-
Even if it was true it would be ripped to **** because the proper game fills a DVD9 disc which hold 8-9 gigs of data
13 days to go for the European release. :dance:

That\'s easy, just look for Vice City:p
-
Is it true or not?
I\'d like to read some impressions (dont worry, this game I can not download anyway), can anyone point me in the right direction?
-
All signs point to BS after searching the biggest torrent search engine.
-
Bah ok..
I looked at my regular Torrent sites and I couldnt find it either.
I NEED some gameplay videos, only 12 days to release and still no gameplay vids (apart from the very short one on the official site)? :(
-
That\'s why I bothered to say it\'s from Spong above the link, they have a record of making up BS.
-
Makes you wonder how these games get released like this, only someone in rockstar that had full access to the game could have released it. They have only themselves to blame. I wouldn\'t be surprised if they did it themselves so people will just try before they buy type of thing.
-
Soully, I think your trolley went off the tracks..
-
pfff... big BS !
Don\'t belive in every pice of shit on Internet News sites !

Not really, the place where it is being manufactured at could\'ve had someone steal a copy. It has to be in that process by now too because there is no way they\'d be able to make enough copies for all the pre-orders otherwise.

Won\'t be long now....
This WILL make up for the HUGH disappointment that WAS FABLE !

Yeah right... like i like a FPS that runs at 30FPS....and drops even further when somethign intresting happens

Either way i am thinking of trading it in for either a Nintendo DS...

-
New PS2?
How about a new PSTwo? eh eh? :D
-
This game has definitely been leaked guys. It up on some torrent sites now. :(
Bastards!!! :mad:
-
What torrent site?
....
Dont give me that look damnit
I know you downloaded it
:p
j/k.
This is pretty damn lame.
-
Well perhaps now we can get some real impressions, without the "we-dont-want-to-show-you-that-right-now" restrictions from Rockstar?
Anyway, its just 8-9 days away, I can hold out. :)
Maybe.. :)
URGAGH.. :(
:nerd:

I thought Rockstar said they were packing a DVD9 disc? The 2.8 GB size of the leak torrent seems a bit iffy to me. Oh well let the pirates do what they do best, I\'ll be picking up a pristine copy on the morning of October 29th :dance:
-
Ill be taking mine home the day the stock arrives (usually wed) :D

Looks like it really happened...from Gamespot
Less than a week after a pirated version of Halo 2 began appearing on the Web, another of the year\'s most sought after games has been stolen. Ironically, it also happens to be a game titled after a larcenous act itself. That\'s right. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has become the latest victim of piracy, with illegal copies of the game, its manual, and its cover appearing on various Web sites.
Late today, Rockstar issued a statement on this latest in a series of unfortunate events. "The proper authorities are investigating the theft and are continuing to investigate all possible leads to ensure there is no further dissemination of our creative content," read the statement. "Downloading, possession and distribution of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, including making the game available on the internet, is theft." Then came this warning from the company: "We take the theft of our intellectual property very seriously and we are and will continue to diligently and aggressively pursue this matter."
For those wishing to help track down the San Andreas thieves, Rockstar also offered the following advice: "If anyone finds information on websites with links to unauthorized downloads, information, scans or videos, please contact us at piracy@rockstargames.com."
Rockstar officials also emphasized the fact that the theft would not affect Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas\' release plans. The game is due in the US next Tuesday, October 26, and in Europe next Friday, October 29. However, it is already clear that with four of the year\'s top games--GTA: San Andreas, Halo 2, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2---being posted online before their official releases, piracy is becoming an increasingly common and serious problem for both gamers and the games industry.
