Godfather 132 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 yeah, not sure if they would release a trailer on the weekend. Possibly not even on Monday, hopefully tho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWA BALLA 7 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 The 2nd trailer is complete. think about it they wrote the letter, lets say on Monday and send it to game stores on Tuesday. People in New York started to lose power on Wednesday. Letter got to game shops by Thursday. The trailer was meant to be released on Wednesday after the announcement that GTA 5 will come out spring 2013. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayge 689 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 Yeah it's definitely completed, it's not like they're rendering it or finishing it off, it's probably been finished for a while now, and they were waiting for the 1 year mark to release it, which was fucked by sandy.

Bronson 702 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 If it is finished, they could release it today considering thier power is back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace Of Spades 1182 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 wouldent it suck if the blackout made all there computers glitch out and erase all the gta5 info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted November 3, 2012 wouldent it suck if the blackout made all there computers glitch out and erase all the gta5 info Would suck, but GTA V is being developed @R*North so there's nothing really to worry about where GTA V is concerned.

Web servers are probably US based and were partially down, what with Hurricane Sandy. Decided to wait off on releasing the trailer until some were back on before putting the trailer up and having the website slow to a crawl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted November 4, 2012 I don't think the trailer was in danger of being wiped at all. R* HQ is in charge of marketing so that's where most of the stuff we see comes from. Even if the trailer was done (I'll bet plenty of money they work on it until the release just like thier games) the computer/server it's stored on may not have been accessible due to the blackout. On top of that the people whose job it is to update the site and social media outlets may not have been able to do so with the blackout either. I know a lot of them live in the NYC area for obvious reasons so their own homes may have been without power too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decided to wait off on releasing the trailer until some were back on before putting the trailer up and having the website slow to a crawl? I would speculate that Cyantist is on the right track here. Releasing a GTA trailer is not a simple matter of uploading it to a server and making it available to the world. As soon as it hits, the site will be under incredible load trying to handle the worldwide demand. If proper load balancing isn't in place, our insatiable appetites alone will bring the site to its knees. I'm guessing the real holdup isn't getting power to Rockstar HQ; there's likely a datacenter somewhere in NYC or along the eastern seaboard recovering from the storm, and that datacenter that is a key cog in the marketing machine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could have just uploaded it to youtube till everything got back to order. It would take alot of strain off thier website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
