Daily Star apologises to Rockstar Games for made up 'Raoul Moat' GTA story!

Quote:

ON 21 July we published an article claiming that the video games company Rockstar Games were planning to release a version of their popular Grand Theft Auto video games series titled “Grand Theft Auto Rothbury”.

We also published what we claimed would be the cover of this game, solicited comments from a family member impacted by the recent tragedy and criticised Rockstar Games for their alleged plans.

We made no attempt to check the accuracy of the story before publication and did not contact Rockstar Games prior to publishing the story. We also did not question why a best selling and critically acclaimed fictional games series would choose to base one of their most popular games on this horrifying real crime event.

It is now accepted that there were never any plans by Rockstar Games to publish such a game and that the story was false. We apologise for publishing the story using a mock-up of the game cover, our own comments on the matter and soliciting critical comments from a grieving family member.

We unreservedly apologise to Rockstar Games and we have undertaken not to repeat the claims again. We have also agreed to pay them a substantial amount in damages which they are donating to charity.

The Raoul Moat story actually reminds me of Max Payne more then GTA

Would be a great GTA game though, Little side missions like stealing Tomoto's from people's back gardens and helping Gazza beat his Alcohol addiction

lmfao, you could play as Gazza xD

LMFAO :joker:

Basically them admitting that they talk complete bullsh*t all the time then.
Although I really want to see the cover...

It was so badly made it was laughable

If they apologised like this for every fake story they wrote we'd probably need a dedicated section on the forum to put them in ;)

'We also apologize for using telefan's Big Brother 8 fanmade trailer on Youtube as a source to house pictures and the eye logo for Big Brother back in 2007.
We realise we may of got some hopes up with this article and we also stole another person's work, we just got very excited when we saw the Youtube video.
Now to make up for it, please turn the page where you will be very satisfied...'

LOL! ******ing idiots :p

I wish Rockstar would hurry up and announce the new REAL GTA.
