The February Game Informer Cover Thread

Post » Tue Jan 12, 2010 9:51 am

Also I thought that subscribers got it month early where game stands had to wait til the actual month of the magazine?

I could be totally wrong and for non-subscribers I hope I am... but really with gamestop giving you a free 12 month subscription to their card program who isn't subscribed already anyways.

I was originally planning on just checking out the scans when they hit the internet reading totally legit and well-within-the-rules descriptions written by the fine folks on these forums! However, I ended up resubbing to Game Informer a few days ago. A massive twelve page spread on one of my most anticipated games ever demands to be read for real; kicking back in a comfy chair, smelling the paper and ink as I turn the page, savoring every image and every word.

If you're looking to add things to the OP you might want to consider this tweet from Andrew Reiner, one of the head editors at GI:

"And wait until you see what this game is all about! Mind...blown..."

Link: http://twitter.com/Andrew_Reiner/status/15239727204540416



Yeah and if you want to update what Todd Howard said to his full comments here is what he said...

"They saw a lot [Game Informer visited the office of Bethesda last week] and I think, I hope, everybody is surprised with how much stuff were showing. It's... it's a lot. We wanted to sorta compress the amount of time that we talked about the game. It's still eleven months, it's a long time, but traditionally we're going on like two years talking about a game, so we start out very slow and we wanted to come out of the gate with a lot of... A lot of STUFF. So I think the fans will be excited."

I assume GI is available in Canada? If so, I will defiantly have to stop by a get a copy, as I believe EB Games is part of GameStop ?


Thats right. EB is is the Gamestop here. I have seen a few "Gamestops" though here in Vancouver, in addition to several EB Games. And I know for a fact that they sell GIs.

Well, add my vote to "Yes" once this bad boy hits the shelves.

I'm probably looking to much into this, but from Pete Hines twitter...

"Look at those lunatics throwing snow in the air to celebrate the TD. God bless those crazy, frozen bastards. We need more games like this."


Obviously he's talking about the football game, but does anyone else think he's also throwing out subtle hints?


Spoiler

Damn straight he's talking about the football game! SKOL! Vikings!

I'm a huge Minnesota Vikings fan and it was kickass to play our first outdoor home game in 20+ years. The opening atmosphere had me all choked up, with a lump in my throat, and a big smile on my face because it's what defines the area. The weather and enjoying the outdoors.

When they drove down the field and scored a touchdown the Viking fans in the crowd scooped up snow and threw it into the air in celebration. Not too uncommon from other teams fans like the Patriots or Bears.

We did lose but it was a great game played outdoors where football is meant to be played. They need to build them a new stadium and make it outdoors, not some dome. Minnesota football is meant to be played outdoors, like in the old Met stadium (now where the mall of america stands).


Sorry but I don't think that guy posting it on twitter hints at anything in the game though. Just watching MNF, he's a Vikings fan that felt the same way as I did and got choked up to see the fans having so much fun with the snow.

edit: sorry I did not look at who you were quoting, hard to understand without knowing :P

No I was replying to him, sure i went on a little rant about how awesome it was to see my team play outdoors again, but I also confirmed it didn't mean anything because he's a Vikings fan and thought that my perspective of how it made me feel seeing them throw snow in the air sorta showed why he posted that as a Vikings fan.

Sorry.

Not much actually "on topic" to talk about til January anyways though ;)

I called my local Game Stop this morning and I was told that the February issuse won't be sent out until January 15th. It should be in the store at that time as well. They did tell me the subscribers might get it earlier.

I can't wait to see what kind of info we get.

It's suppose to be a 12 page spread, what that means as far as content goes, I haven't got a clue.

edit: Double ninja'd. :ninja: :toughninja:


When it comes to GI a 12 page spread is HUGE and should contain a TON of info.

Jan will probably be the month for us to get most the info we need about the game. New features, content, graphics, story etc.

Wonder when they are planning to show the game in action? Could GI put it on their site maybe?

That will most likely be at E3. I hope they let Gamespot and IGN do stage show demos, those are always great.

Why do you people need to remind me of this all the time?
I might go crazy since I can't get it here. :lmao:


I catch your flow... or something. Yes.

But scans will be all over the internet anyway.

E3 next year will be huge. I'm sure we'll have to wait until then to get our first video.

I'll probably ask here, does anyone know how I can get the magazine if I don't live in any areas where they sell it locally? Do they ship them through Amazon or something like that that reaches the majority of countries in the world? I want to get it legally (yes I am well aware that there are methods to see the magazine which are not completely within the control of the copyright distributors, however I want a physical copy of the magazine)

Yes! The only time I ever picked up a specific issue of a gaming mag was for the Game Informer cover-story of Oblivion! I'll definitely be doing the same for Skyrim!

I do know that you can subscribe to the magazine and if you do you can get digital copies, and digital back copies. As far as amazon goes, I don't think that's possible.

I forgot to add to my previous post, when I called my local game stop this morning to ask about it she asked me "Is there something in there we should know about?" I found it kind of surprising that the employees are unaware of what is coming in the magazine that the company they work for put out. Then again, we are talking about Game Stop. :whistling: :biggrin:

Unfortunately I can not purchase it in my country. However, I have my methods to get a look at the game. You'll see... *sniff*... you'll see...




... all the screenies and info will be here eventually (Pelit -magazine will take care of that).

You are not alone. Everyone on this forum (if they were all honest) would quote you as say "this".
