Skyrim is the next Game Informer cover! : V - Skyrim

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 10:23 am

Well, this is great news... But I expect that I'll have to hunt for scans on the internet before getting a hard copy.

(Plus: Vindication for the optimists in the speculation thread!!!)

Hey, way to connect McNamara's tweet with the Feb. cover! I guess I need to tone down that skepticism of mine!

*turns down skepticism meter*

@Antibody: thanks for posting this! I can't wait to see some screenshots!

*Looks at sig*

So, enjoying that $1000?

You know on the GI site they said that they have been working on the story for months so thats a good sign, but think that means right around the time when Todd said "we are ready to announce soon but now isn't the time" (parapharsing) that is when GI probably knew about this. I wonder how many of the GI employees have been on this site laughing at how much we were talking about TESV. But hopefully they looked at some questions we had so they ask good ones.

GI employees must either have amazing willpower or be under extremely tight NDAs. Knowing about amazing games like Skyrim months before the rest of the world must be more of a burden than a blessing.

Oh for sure, imagine you're a huge fan and you have alot of friends that are too but you can't say a word to them? I would be fired and fined a lot of money i tell you.

I kind of figured this was coming, but it's still good to know for sure. This means that not only will we get information in the issue itself, but we'll have a dedicated Elder Scrolls hub on Game Informer's website, which will be revealing new information online all month for everyone to see.

Examples of Hubs from previous issues:

Darn it no sneeky peeky of TES V SKYRIM cover! Definitely looking forward to checking out GAME INFORMER when it hits the stands.

Thanks a ton xXAntibodyXx for the Hubs from previous issues links. They've got some amazing covers and wallpapers with plenty of different resolutions like my current 1366x768.

Outstanding, do look forward to it, and would like to know if half breeds are atleast considered for it.

Nope.

Cool, looking forward to seeing this. OP, please bump this when the issue comes out.

I would but chances are I'll just make a brand new thread with a list of all the new info in the article. That is assuming someone doesn't do it before me, of course.

*does a little pissy tap dance*

:(

I wonder if someone would be lovely enough to mail me a copy if I PayPaled them the money in advance?

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 1:26 pm

I can't seem to find the Game Informer issue from this month which is supposed to have some TES special.
It's not available in my country so I'm in a bit of a bind. :flamed:

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:43 pm

Is there anyway to get a subscription if you live outside of the US? :S
I REALLY want to now xD

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 5:41 pm

Gosh, Ive got to get my subscription renewed!

And thank you Antibody! Its really nice that youll post all the new info for the people who dont have subscribtions

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:25 am

Oh my god, I'm going to explode. I hope this has some good stuff. (My Game Informer subscription expired though so I'll wait for...yeah.)

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:18 pm

I'm getting a subscription *just* for the Skyrim cover. I'm thinking about getting the digital version, since I'm pretty sure the hard-copy turnaround for a new subscription would be longer than the actual release of the issue.

Its just the history of TES, you know all the games since TES:Arena. Some interviews here and there, a map of Tamriel( Not official I guess), and just something I found EXTREMELY suspicious.

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 8:05 pm

I cant wait to get my issue in the mail. It should be a pretty in depth article, hoping for at least 6 pages. It may be our first screenshots of Skymir. :hubbahubba:

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 10:08 am

I have one word for you, just one: calipers.

Imagine, if you can: 34 different sets of calipers, realistic caliper physics, 100+ caliper-based quests. I would say over 70% of the man-hours put into Skyrim so far have been toward the goal including more calipers in the game by any means necessary.

Is it true?

Is it real?

We can finally realize our dream of wielding the great Ex-Caliper! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:54 am

I really can't believe everyone was so accurate with the speculation. Nearly everyone predicted the cover and a lot of people the VGA announcement.

Lol and ALOT of people guessed wrong this year. E3, Quake Con, ect.

Sooooo many GI covers were guessed, every convention that came up in 2010 was guessed to have ESV.

To say that it was accurate speculation is laughable at best.

He's gonna give $5 in January and $1 annually for the next 995. I thought the terms sounded pretty fair...

:rofl: I seriously think this would an AWESOME Easter egg!

Lol and ALOT of people guessed wrong this year. E3, Quake Con, ect.

We were way off for the August cover, but the evidence once again pointed strongly to an eminent reveal. I personally didn't think it would come quite this soon...not that I'm complaining!

Yah but a lot more people were on this forum predicting a January cover

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:56 pm

I'm extremely excited. Are there any public places where I could pick up a copy (when it comes out, that is) without getting a subscription?
