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.

Cops kill 6 hijackers in Cavite clashes

Six suspected hijackers, including three Metro Manila policemen, were killed in back-to-back encounters with policemen in Dasmarinas City, Cavite, early Friday. Two of the slain suspects were identified through their ID cards as PO2 Robert Santos, who went Awol from the National Capital Region Police Office last August, and PO1 Junjie Jun Liangco, an active member of the NCR Regional Public Safety Battalion, Cavite provincial police director Senior Supt. John Bulalacao said. The third suspect is believed to be PO3 Jessie Villanueva of the Manila Police Station 8 (Sta. Mesa), Bulalacao said in a phone interview. Three other slain suspects remain unidentified as of this writing, but police believe these had been involved in other hijacking incidents in the Southern Tagalog area. Recovered from the suspects were a K-9 sub-machine gun, two caliber-.9mm pistols and a caliber-.45 pistol with PNP markings, and two caliber-.38 revolvers. The clashes occurred around 2 a.m. in Brgy. Lankaan 2 and Brgy. San Agustin 3. Bulalacao said members of the Dasmarinas City Police and Cavite Provincial Police intelligence branch conducted an operation in the two areas after they were tipped off by five other suspected hijackers arrested on Thursday. “Ang nag-lead sa amin eh ‘yung unang lima na nahuli kahapon, tatlong lalaki at dalawang babae. Sila ‘yung nagturo kung nasaan tinago ‘yung goods na nakuha sa hijacking noong Martes,” he said. On Tuesday, hijackers stole some P1.9 million worth of grocery items from a delivery van along Aguinaldo Highway in Brgy. Salitran 1. Yesterday’s encounter resulted in the recovery of the stolen goods, as well as a Mitsubishi Adventure with no registration plate, and a Toyota Vios. (John Roson)
