GTA 5 TRAILER IS DELAYED





GTAV Trailer 2 Delayed

Just moments ago, a Rockstar rep posted a comment on their release date announcement Newswire article that Trailer 2 has been delayed.
It's stated that they are indeed working on a second trailer, but have been left completely without power in their NYC offices due to Hurricane Sandy. It's understandable that this natural disaster has delayed Rockstar's plans, but it's promised that they have something to show us "soon".
Just to clarify, this comment in no way indicates at what stage Rockstar were at with the second trailer, nor does it confirm it was intended to be released this week. It simply tells that unfortunately, the situation is out of Rockstar's hands this time and that they will launch the trailer as soon as they can.


Rockstar says:
We are working on a second trailer - unfortunately Hurricane Sandy has derailed our plans somewhat but we will have something to show soon. Its hard to be precise as we have no power whatsoever in our New York office. We hope everyone else in affected areas is doing okay.


High-res GTA V artwork released

Game Informer recently posted digital versions of the GTA V artwork that has begun to appear on promotional displays in retail stores. One of the arts shows the hispanic dude from the debut trailer with a dog called "Chop". Another art shows a female officer arresting a lady sporting a Love Fist t-shirt. For those who can't remember, or who never played GTA: Vice City (what?!), Love Fist is a fictional metal band that featured heavily in the game.




With Rockstar confirming GTA V is available to pre-order from this coming Monday (5th November) it appears retailers have started to receive some promotional materials ready for marketing. Members at GTAForums have reported special Los Santos "photo viewers" featuring locations from the game have been distributed alongside two-sided posters featuring the unreleased artwork seen earlier this week.
We've heard that these cool little keepsakes are to be given out first-come first-served from the day pre-ording officially begins (Monday) but some fans have reported they've already received theirs in stores across North America. Each photo viewer has their own unique destination and caption, described below.

Update: GAME, the main video game retailer in the UK, has confirmed with this tweet that posters featuring a girl being arrested by a (female!) police officer will be available with pre-orders this weekend.
