That was posted on Gamespot forum at 2:39 Pacific Time.

Would that not have downloaded by now? You'd think they'd post more pictures given they posted just the download screen.
 
I just took a closer look, and it's fake. The GT5 logo is smaller than normal logos are in the bubble.
They can place as big of logo as they can.. Explain the ghost of the icon, if you look at every letter there is some blurr and ghost of that letter, the same with icon, it would be hard to mimic it.

^^^Exactly.

The link to the pic in Photobucket is:

And I hope I am not violating the AUP but the the address of the page of the guy that uploaded the pic is:

Maybe we can email him. :P

EDIT: He has another blurry GT pic BTW, taken the same day (25/8/09) 45 minutes later with the same camera. It is the F2007 on Nurburgring.

As explained above

Someone could do what the guy quoted above said. Capture the image, edit it, and display it through a TV, and then take the picture with a camera.
 
Yea, the other pic is the F2007 at the Nurburgring??? Can someone verify it's authenticity?



Edit: How can you possibly take that BAD of a picture of a stationary screen, then have the cars be distorted more than other parts?
 
Maybe it's just Kaz messing with our heads again.

Wasn't that 'Ring track a special one-off for Prologue that was released ages ago?
 
@Nox:

That should be like a black carding...oooohhh that hurts just looking at it. Why post such a thing Nox?

Looks like it came from a video already seen from a demo shown at 24hr Nurburgring race.

FALSE ALARM. I had not watched the new trailers because people complained about the damage. I didn't want to get discouraged.

Edit: Was not even new, just had not seen it, my bad...
 
LOL We, went completely off-topic.

The F2007 pic taken from the video posted indicates the intention of cheating people, because it was taken just 45 minutes later than the downloading pic.

However the edition of the downloading pic is a really good one, specially on the title part.
 
Why would PD give beta since they never did.. and if they did, it would be for only very SPECIAL and secretive people that would never give away any info about beta.
 
if it was just a bog standard public beta most people would know about it, primarily because most Beta members can't keep stum about releases, let alone a huge game like this.

Only annoying thing is if it was legit and a beta was out, i'd probably be able to get a share :(
 
Did not expect this to blowup so quickly.
Anyway i hope its true, i asked for more pics but the person who posted it is offline. And after seeing some of the pics posted by you guys... please don't shoot the messenger if this turns out to be a hoax. :P

and nice job finding the photobucket that it was originally uploaded, didn't know that was possible.
 
Also from his photobucket account it seems he is a member of legacyofassassins.com, so has anyone sent him a message?

also that is a pic from the trailer:

Im not sure whether this beta is a hoax or not but its perfectly plausible.

I've been involved in many betas and this is how it usually works. For the first few weeks only a very select few have access i.e 20 people, this is increased to 50. Often you won't find footage being posted on youtube from these people because they are often employees who don't want to risk losing their jobs.

After around a month of testing a small amount of beta keys are distributed to websites such as Eurogamer, Gamespot etc. These keys are then increased over the next few weeks. Sometimes after this beta testing a demo is launched for everyone to try although this doesn't always happen.

So with this in mind I would keep checking gaming websites over the next few weeks because this beta may actually be true. It doesn't matter how much testing a developer does in house it will always be the community that finds bugs/glitches.
 
I think it's fake because PD never said there will be GT5 Beta .. we've already seen stuff like this before (ex. Race Pro Demo).

P.S. Screenshot isn't enough .. we want a video :)
 
Just seen this thread..

The blaggers!!

The actual downloading screen looked fake to me just from simple inspection, the '5 Beta' text does not have the same edge artefacting as the rest of the text that is in the same plane, and is fractionally lighter in colour..

The fact the Nurburgring shot is clearly from released videos is class.. he didn't try to hard did he...

Still, funny for 5 mins..
 
On that thread that you linked us to, people are saying that the GT5P download is 2.6GB, It isn't it is 1.9gb. So this is real.

The racepro demo is slightly different. I said to my friends prior to launch that the lack of demo made me nervous because they obviously wasn't very confident of their product. Some demos encourage sales but a RacePro demo would of seen many pre-orders cancelled!

Im not sure why so many are sceptical. Do you honestly think PD will launch GT5 without intensive testing which cannot be done in house? Mark my words there will/is a Beta but the question is who will get access and will this be public?
 
If this is real, and if someone has the beta code from everyone who posted here, please may i please have the beta code? I missed out on a whole lot on the ps3 including the home beta which my friend recieved the code for, and i missed out on the uncharted 2 beta too. Please please please!!!!!!
