GunSmith 2452 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 You're too damn nice gunny. You gotta really give it to them sometimes. I give it to them when it's necessary. Here, it's not. What am I gonna do, troll and abuse him for contributing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robn243 1 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 my uncle lives in manhatten and I text him go visit mural what ever the name is and I told him stand there and take a picture but he couldnt because the art work has been coverd so no one wouldnt take a photo. For those who lives in manhatten is not worth it to go visit because they just coverd the artwork. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunSmith 2452 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Oh, wow...If they covered it, that definitely lends some credibility to the "real" side of the debate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imanaya 5 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 There are no pictures on the collage, we hadnt seen before.. yet. Could be a prank. Though chopper looks fresh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure if it can be done in less than 15 min, but it can be done... The problem with it being a photoshop, though, is that there is too much detail You can see the planning outlines on the white backdrop on the bottom. I highly doubt a photoshopper would have faked to that detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmt 60 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 I'm not too sure this is the boxart, it could just be an advertiser, but the actual game case could be something else. that was my first thought aswell, cuz the gta4 murals on hotel figueroa weren't the boxart either. but then, there's a lot that speaks for the boxart idea; it surely follows the gta-boxart logic (most of the gta boxarts had a helicopter up left) and is trimmed to look like a game box with the esrb sticker and all that. I'm with the boxart leak here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 It's definitely squished a little but I still think it is the box art. Just modified to fit the ad space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 It's clearly a real advertisement. R* have purposely had it painted just before April fools, to get the community talking, and it's worked. So it's looking like this. A Vinewood sign behind Trevor i see. Maybe a speedboat a the bottom, and one of Franklin above? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronson 702 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Nice one Dup. I think the girl to the left will in fact be the same girl, just a different picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 IMO, they've mirrored her and stuck the phone in front and changed the background. Looking at this new image, you can sort of make out the lines between artwork. I drew over them to make it easier to see. Also from this angle i think i can make out a face, most likely Franklin, a car on the right, and the jetski above... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronson 702 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Awesome work Dup. Did that image just Come up today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah i google searched it and it came up. The bottom one i exposure corrected it so i could see more details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmt 60 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 the car lines have something in common with the 9F, more obvious on the non-edited picture so... compulsory heli, gasmask-michael, biking franklin, ifruit chick, trevor, chop, jetski guy, 9f and another gunwaving fella... nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronson 702 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 So I guess that means they are going to work on it some more today I was skeptical since its easter.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah it will probably be finished by tomorrow. Working on it over Easter when not many people were around i'm guessing. So this is roughly what we'll be expecting for the cover. Obviously placeholder images will change, but that's the closest i could find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronson 702 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 I'm not sure how I feel about the bottom right layout Looks kinda ugly IMO. It will probably look better without the placeholders now that I think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 It may not even be Franklin, but he's a black guy that's for sure. My case art isn't that accurate, it's just what i think i can see atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronson 702 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 I wonder if the people doing this are part of Rockstar, or just hired to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 I doubt R* keeps mural painters on call. It's the same company that does all the other ads on that building, I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
