New details point to 'Grand Theft Auto 5' copy being leaked (Photos)

Most people cannot wait for "Grand Theft Auto V" to be released, but it seems as though someone has gotten hold of a PlayStation 3 version of the game.

According to a report from GamePur today, Reddit user "jamesrwinterton" has uploaded an image that shows a PlayStation 3 version of "GTA V" on the shelf of a retailer store in Shanghai.

The leaked image is above, so you can judge for yourself as to whether or not this picture is legit. Most people will say it's fake, and they are justified in thinking that.

Rockstar has been contacted for comment, but there has been no response given by the company quite yet.

But it is hard to believe Rockstar could let slip such an important piece of content.

In other "GTA V" news, there was a international press event held that showed off some of what people can expect from the game.

Rockstar Games' Dan Houser recently met up with some international media regarding "GTA V."

Houser said the demo that was shown off to press in attendance saw Michael sitting by the pool, which was not a cutscene, but was a playable part of the game.

The mission apparently showcased real gameplay that was not a scripted sequence of events. These scenes have not been shown to the public yet, and are not one in the same with "Grand Theft Auto V's" second trailer.

Every character approaches each mission through a different avenue. Michael and Trevor, on one hand, approach the mission by helicopter, while Franklin gets to the mission point via motorcycle.

The game's switching function allows gamers to see an indicator for all of the protagonists on the zoomed out map, which people can shuffle through.

People can switch between the three protagonists of the story, Michael, Franklin and Trevor. The game's system is unscripted, which will allow people to switch characters throughout the game.

Gamers will also be able to execute heists and hijackings by following armored vans, like in "Sleeping Dogs," and taking over them to obtain extra cash. It's in fact exactly the same feature as the one in "Sleeping Dogs."
