Undoubtedly, at the time we live in, video games try to be more realistic, from the graphics, sounds and situations that these works expose, you can notice the parallelism with the real world that they try to reflect, this often looks even more noticeable. in people who are not used to this, something like this happened to a Pakistani politician who confused an event in GTA V, with one in real life.
As reported by the site ViceKhurram Nawaz Gandapur, Secretary General of the Pakistan People’s Movement, made a mistake, mistaking a stunt performed in Grand Theft Auto V, with one in real life, according to the report, Gandapur, would have published through his Twitter account staff, a video of an Airbus A380 plane, properly avoiding the collision with a truck carrying gasoline at the airport in GTA V.
The politician praised the pilot’s action, making it clear that if it weren’t for the skilful maneuver, it would have ended in a disastrous event. Although it sounds ridiculous, to say the least, Gandapur believed that this really happened somewhere in the world, but it was not that the Pakistani politician had found the video randomly on the internet, this video was taken up in a Fake News, which reached the hands of Gandapur and that had gone viral on the social networks of that country, passing this fact off as a real one.
Obviously upon realizing his mistake, and in the face of the thousands of ridicules that Gandapur received for his mistake, the Tweet disappeared, leaving an anecdote regarding how the graphics and the little context between them might deceive people who are outside the world of video games. .
The video that was used was a test that was done some time ago to show how reliable the Artificial Intelligence that rockstar programmed in airplanes, making them unable to crash mid-landing if an object such as a truck is on the runway.
GTA V is available on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC platforms.
