So the hub went up today and what's been posted so far is the "decrypting elder scrolls" which was already available weeks ago?

Now that's a cover and it is not a "screenshot" like people think that we wanted and think would have been amateurish.

Ah, yes, I liked that cover a lot. :nod: Really grabbed my attention. In fact, I think the eyes follow me, so I have to flip the cover upside-down or I start getting creeped out. :P

So how exactly will this '3D effect' on the cover work? I'm having a hard time imagining what it would look like.

"There you'll see a special ultraviolet coating that accentuates the symbol in the center, giving a striking, 3-dimensional texture to the image."

I don't know exactly, but I am thinking of something like hologram stickers.

I wanted a cover with something I've not seen before on it, but I'll be lying if I said the cover is not stylish.

It's a really good looking cover, the minimalistic and dark design makes it look more mature. I like it.

Yes, but there'll periodic updates all month long. Although, unlike other hubs this one doesn't have release dates.

I wonder if I sub now I will get it on the tenth... hmm


More than likely not, I've heard that it can take up to two months for you to get your first magazine after subscribing.

....

I think that the cover looks rather nice though. Its simple, mysterious, and well just down right good looking.

If the cover looks that simple without 3d, then it really should look more impressive in 3d.
But who cares, it's just a cover.

No. From the GI web page:
The inside of the magazine has over 20 screenshots that show off Skyrim in all its glory, along with a 14-page article on the new gameplay, engine, story and setting for this latest Elder Scrolls epic.

A dragon flies forth from the page and assaults you. The words on the back are the key to slaying it.

Back to reality now. Who else expects the game to have an M rating? Oblivion came out as T(later changing to M), and Morrowind was also T. The serious looking cover, as well as the location (snow is hardcoe), and the fact that Beth tends to change the feel of the games each time has me thinking that this game will be nice and dark. No smiles, no jokes, no admire dialouge. I cannot wait.

Well it won't come on the 9th (Sunday) so that shortens the odds somewhat... Really you're asking for the chances that it comes in the next two days, and I'd say that is very unlikely. However, all it takes is for one magazine to be received by Saturday for the potential of scans/leaks online, so those people who are waiting for that stuff may have hope yet. However, if I were a subscriber would not expect it until sometime next week.
