How much longer are we going to have GI updates? : V

» Tue May 17, 2011 1:48 am

I am shocked and surprised we are having all these updates on Game Informer. I am wondering how much longer we will be getting them. I can't
see them we keep getting updates like this from now till Now 11. I also can't see getting updates like this and then stopping and we have nothing
to wet our appitites then.

I thought we would get these updates in September. So if we are getting this, what will we be getting in September then? The way we are getting
updates, I would swear the game was coming out in March.

So what do you guys think? Can we be getting updates for the next 10 months or will it trail off soon and then build up again in Septermber?

Doubt it

we'll probably get them until the beginning of February. it's a one-month coverage after all

We'll be getting them until the end of the month, and we only have 1 or 2 more left. Anything new we learn after this month will be from Bethesda or another magazine. :shrug:

I have a feeling the updates will slow down, but i don't think we will be left completely out.
Maybe once a month for a while? The occasional screenshot...

And not necessarily from game informer, I just mean in general.

It’s only for the month of January. They will probably have more updates in the future, but not at the rate we are getting them now.

They'll be building up to PAX most likely. We'll probably get regular updates after that too but not just from GI. Look at Star Wars The Old Republic and BioWare. They've been doing weekly Friday Updates for the past year or two I think, so its not really that hard to believe IMO. I'd rather start getting it on Elderscrolls.com though.

yeah, my call is around february 10 + - ... it would be epic to have them a little longer, but they need to rise hype bye showing less

However long the deal between BGS and GI lasts. I assume a deal's been made between the two that BGS would keep new info mostly exclusive to GI, as long as GI would cover the game extensively, and in that contract they probably set a date for the termination of the mutual NDA. This is most likely why we haven't seen a podcast yet too (which is what I'm most excited for.)

Ahh, so just a month. That would mean about 2 weeks then? Thanks guys for letting me know, I didn't know it was about one month thing.

GI have exclusive rights to publish new ES material until the 5th of Feb i believe. Or something like that.

So expect 1 - 3 more updates.

Reiner said that we have the ui update and then probably one more after that. Three is not happening.

Starting next week we are going back to not knowing when info is coming...

It was today. The art of skyrim. There's a great thread dissecting the video right here on the front page.

Personally I can't wait to start getting info from other sources. Some new stuff on the official site would be nice too.

I can't wait until elderscrolls.com gets updated. Its due for one.

They better not pull a Lionhead and release all the content possible on their game for a whole year and completely spoil everything for everyone who was super soaked for Fable 2. i mean who isnt going to look at the preview content if they put it out there, its what gamers do, we cant help it.. BETHESDA PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! do not release everything before the actual game comes out. i might commit suicide.... (hopefully i dont get reported for saying that.....i wont actually commit suicide....ill die a little bit inside......ill most likely develop aids without even touching a black person.........oh..... was that bad tooo???? :facepalm: )

» Tue May 17, 2011 5:28 am

I think we will have to wait until E3 after this for info. Then there will be a few more magazine exclusives and then release.

» Tue May 17, 2011 10:26 am

There will be 1-2 more updates, they said they might hold back on the last update, but we should be getting at least 1 more.

» Tue May 17, 2011 5:52 am

The last update is supposedly tomorrow, it's a UI update.

» Tue May 17, 2011 2:09 pm

...ill most likely develop aids without even touching a black person

Wow, really?

Well, GI won't be doing many more updates but Bethesda has said several times that they are planning a lot of video footage, so I imagine we'll be seeing some in-game action sooner than later.

» Tue May 17, 2011 12:34 am

The current updates are just to get our hunger going. There will be more updates in the future sure, but perhaps much more subtle as the games release draws nearer.

They never once said that people. Please don't get false hopes.

Are you kidding? They've said it a couple of times. I'm not going to dig through all the updates and tweets and random interviews to find the exact quotes but I've read a couple of times where they say they have lots of ideas for videos and they are choosing parts that that they want to show us.
