The natural disaster derailed the studio's plans, but will have something to show soon.

A second Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer has been delayed by Hurricane Sandy, Rockstar Games has revealed.

"We are working on a second trailer - unfortunately Hurricane Sandy has derailed our plans somewhat but we will have something to show soon," wrote Rockstar in a response on rockstargames.com. "It's 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."

It sounds as though Rockstar had planned to release a new trailer to coincide with the spring 2013 release date announcement. With new information promised for next week the trailer is now likely to appear at around the same time.

Yup, I'm playing through Gay Tony now and the city is just too dark. When its bright, its just hazy and a bit too blurry. I presume that the darkness is due to shadows from the tall buildings. But, the contrast isn't great on that game and everything feels a bit too muted (read: grey and brown).

Yeah, I agree. The one thing that annoys me most about GTA 4 is that it always seemed dark or overcast weather all the time, even when the sky was clear. I was never sure whether it was an aesthetic choice, in order to convey the idea that the game was going to have a more serious tone, or whether it was just bad lighting.

But it's safe to say I much prefer the sunnier setting of Los Santos and the red and flint counties hills around it, to Liberty city town scape.

EDIT: I know this is REALLY early to speculate but, where would people prefer GTA 6 to be set? A re-imagined Vice City, San Fierro or Las Venturas perhaps? Or maybe a return to GTA 1 London or GTA 2 Anywhere city?

The tennis couple.. Good choice!

Personally I like that we've gone from grungy, cold Liberty City to sun soaked, vibrant San Andreas :)

There's a distasteful being blown away by it joke in there somewhere.

I think the thing I liked about the GTA IV trailer was seeing the protaganist, hopefully they'll make it clear who that will be this time around as well. So far the thing I'm most impressed by in GTA V is a screenshot of people playing tennis in the background.
