Its not fake. The game uses a technique called rotoscoping which allowed the programmers to storyboard and record cinematics on tape, and recreate the cinematics on the computer using the tape as a reference so Lester could move realistically.

@LivingDog94 Safe, conventional and lowest common denominator is the only viable business model if your game takes 500 man-years to develop.
Failures don't cost that much when its one dude working in his spare time. If you get the gameplay right you can look like a dog and still make a big splash(think minecraft). Problem is, for every Eric Chahi or Markus Persson there's a hundred others you will never hear of who really put their heart into it, did their damndest and failed spectacularly.

@TomeeDee86 It was designed and developed by one guy, Eric Chahi. Someone was brought in late in the development cycle to do the music and lots of other people were brought in for generic stuff, like porting to other hardware platforms, designing packaging materials, distribution etc.
If you're interested GDC has a post mortem of the game which goes into great detail.
