The February Game Informer Cover Thread V

Post » Tue May 04, 2010 7:43 am

They said it was loaded with screenies so I hope there will be lots and lots of them.

Wouldn't it be great if they pulled a Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie? They hyped up that they were going to reveal it on advlt Swim before it hit theaters only to have the intro to the movie play then have it go into a small tiny box on the bottom left hand corner of the screen with no sound while normal programming played in full screen.
All of my friends and I gathered at another friends house to watch... We didn't realize it was a April fools day joke until afterwards :facepalm:

My point is it will be 1000 screenshots but they will be so small we won't be able to tell anything :P

My guess, 2 screens a page, not including the intro pages...so about 24 maybe :D


As long as it looks stunning I don't care if there are 24 screenshots! Everyone says that it looks amazing, more people than any other game I have seen on twitter. This is a good sign.

We will see it tomorrow. :hubbahubba:

My guess on the timeline is sometime tommorrow after 7 am or later they'll release the cover on GI's website and an article talking about something about the article on Skyrim but it won't go into to much detail. Possibly anytime between the 6th-10th people who have subscriptions will get the mag and any time after the 13th it'll start appearing in stores (Gamestop is your best bet). So if I'm lucky I'll get it tommorrow but in reality it'll be either the 8th or the 10th, thats my best guess.

Last month's cover was released at 8 AM on Dec 6. Probably the cover will not be up until tomorrow morning.

It might be earlier because of the hype that this mag is getting. Hell maybe we'll be lucky and they'll release it at Midnight.

When we say the cover we mean the cover of the magazine. That will be revealed tomorrow morning. As for the cover story (or spread) that is referring to the story about the game on the cover of the magazine. That won't be in people's hands until around the 8th if you live close to GI's headquarters.

Related to the cover...

My guess is some sort of "making of", assuming it's a stylized cover (as most of GI's covers are). I can't really think of anything else they could reveal that's 1) directly related to the cover, 2) not screenshots, and 3) not related to collector's editions/etc.

You'll definitely be able to see the cover tomorrow, and there's also a special bonus. Not going to say what it is, but it's something people have been asking me about.

OH I KNOW!!!!

It's that horse drag racing game right?!?! It's finally being announced? Wow it'll be even more popular than Skyrim I bet! :woot:

Where's Julian Assange when you need him? :down:

Edit@Silvade: My god. I hit the post button and you already have a post loaded under mine.

@Kitzler: Cover means cover story. Cover story is usually the largest piece of writing in the magazine, and pretty much always about what's on the front cover.

You know, we could all go to bed and the time will pass quickly and we will get to see the cover. But damn, all this anxiety makes it impossible to sleep.

I can't wait to finally see Skyrim in all its glory. The announcement was amazing, but finally we'll get down to business and see the game! :D

True. He's being described as an "international pariah". Maybe he should take up worshiping Malacath.

True that, but I think waiting 10 months will be easy for me. School, a bunch of new games getting released early this year and a bunch of other stuff is going to keep me pretty damn busy.
