The February Game Informer Cover Thread XII



http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/01/06/february-cover-revealedesv-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim.aspx


"And yeah, once people read this, heads will explode."
- Andy McNamara, Editor-In-Chief of Game Informer

When responding to a question asking how the game looks:


As most of us know the February issue of the Game Informer magazine will feature 14 whole pages of Skyrim information/pictures/awesomeness.
The prestigious cover of the mag will also belong to Skyrim!

This thread is for thoughtful discussion and speculation of the topic and what we think will be revealed. Once the cover has been revealed we can keep all discussions to this series of threads so the mods don't have to spend all their time redirecting people's rants about how the cover is "zomg cool". Once the Mag is shipped to subscribers we can post small bits of information to share with other forum members who don't subscribe to GI.

For information on the rules of posting info on the magazine click on this http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149624-do-not-post-magazine-scans-transcripts-or-links-to-either/.

It seems people keep missing the above Magnificent http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149624-do-not-post-magazine-scans-transcripts-or-links-to-either/ GO READ THAT BEFORE POSTING ABOUT THE ARTICLE PLEASE. It covers the forum rules on Scans, Transcripts and Links. Thank you - Outlander

Fortunately Todd Howard has already stated that "when we show it, we want to show a lot, because there's a lot of game there to play right now." http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-08-16-todd-howard-working-on-two-new-games

Here is the link to the Game Informer article on the matter: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/12/13/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-coming-next-issue.aspx

Here is the link to the Bethesda Podcast in which Todd Howard touches on the subject: http://www.bethblog.com/podcast/
(They start talking about GI around the 6:50 mark in the podcast if anyone just wants to skip to it.) - Wahoo

"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."
- Todd Howard


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

"Our Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim coverage has expanded from 12 pages to 14, making it our largest game-based cover story."
- Andrew Reiner http://twitter.com/#!/Andrew_Reiner


If anyone has any other information then post it here and I will add it to the first post.

Not disappointed. Intrigued at the text on the back. Wait until you find out what it means, and then see if you're still disappointed. Besides, it's just the cover. The good stuff is always inside.

I was disapointed with the cover tho the more I thought about it the more I knew I would be even if it was filled with art all over it..
Also doesn't help that I don't understand how to read the back of the cover and translate it into English,were do you learn to translate it?

But actually I think it's a very nice cover.
It was just sort of a anticlimix and they should have put 1 screenshot with it, to balance it out..

Don't worry. The content of the magazine will be (at least) 11x as awesome as the cover ;)

I wasn't disappointed with the cover, it was to be expected really. Still, it has some sort of classy look to it and the fact that there isn't unrelated text all over it makes it quite nice, IMO.

Bethesda must have good timing and communication with the people at GI to be able to release it on 11am on thread XI. :laugh:

Yes, I am disappointed with the cover. Being from Europe and all, I can't get the issue so the printed "effects" mean nothing to me and I've seen that logo about a 100 times. It looks classy, but worse than past covers.

Alrighty guys. Whoever gets the translation first gets a special prize. That being that you know you were the first one to translate it

I, on the other hand, am too lazy
