Rockstar Games has confirmed that a teaser trailer of Max Payne 3 released this morning is fake. It was apparently released onto the internet this morning with several websites picking up on it.

Go on, see for yourself.

Why would someone do that!?
Playing with our hopes :P 

Not much effort put into that fake.

Yeah, just the one static image, and fakey font. Seems like someone was bored and ended up getting a lot of attention

Seems like an obvious dupe to me. No in-engine footage, no cutscenes, just the same promotional image with a bit of voice-over work.
