Okay so since games journalists have been getting called out what with this Mass Effect 3 business going on, can we call out GI with their "W-W-W-WORLD EXCLUSIVE" cover stories which are really nothing more than glorified paid advertisements.

Game Informer has its place. You shouldn't be reading it for the nuanced criticism. The flashy, hype-building cover stories are the point.

 

[i-Lo]

After launch of tech demo Kara, I am surprised not people are considering Quantic Dream's project as a potential.

Of course, something powered by "CryEngine 3" is a likelier suspect.

Timesplitters 4 by Crytek UK please.

Say hello to Sgt. Cortez HD

 

[i-Lo]

Game Informer is a giant ad that Gamestop funds, so no, they will never stop cheerleading.

Well they are published by them so perhaps it was done at no added expense.

Where's that from?

 

[Naked Prime]

I wanna see timesplitters 4 if only to see levels from real engine 3 games recreated in Cryengine 3. Parody fps ftw

Cryengine 3 demo from the GDC, just some random bald man. I don't think it has anything to do with Timespliters.

LoL yes, I figured as much. Thank you for the link. Hopefully, we'll get closer to this on next gen hardware.

If the hardware is even half way decent for 2013 what we get will blow away that facial model.

I hope it's an iPad game just to see people here lose their shit.

Great post. Exactly the reason I read GI.

 

[FStop7]

Anyone still doubting my statement that game press is about publisher advocacy and not consumer advocacy?

Serious question: Has a magazine EVER teased a major reveal which didn't end up being a complete disappointment?

PC Gamer reveal of Quake 3 was pretty incredible. I read through that issue at least a dozen times. More, maybe. There were also great CGW and PC Mag reveals for Half Life and Half Life 2.

I have hope that the new X-COM game, which was a GI reveal, will deliver the goods.

Dunno sounds a touch too optimistic.

...TimeSplitters 4, bro

1. GTA5
2. RE6

4. Assassins Creed 3

Can't be games like God of War 4, Black Ops 2 or whatnot. E3 is just 2 months away. Although... I do want me some new inFamous 3 news....

Assassin's Creed III was the reveal for last month.

 

[LightofRohan]

I've been impressed quite a few times by GI exclusives. So I'm hyped for this as well! The South Park announcement was a bit of a fizzle, but they hyped it as much.

The next Infamous had better be

on Vita

.

 

[TheBioLover]

I hope its not Crysis 3, such a boring reveal.

I hope its God of War IV, the series is known for being graphically impressive.

 

[JaseC]

came to say this.

Spoiler

never going to happen

Spoiler

E3.

You have to let go man, its hard, I know, I know, but it isn't going to happen.

I've longed for a sequel to Heavenly Sword on SSM's God of War engine. I still hold hope it'll happen one day.

 

[batmandarkknight]

whoops. i forgot about that.

 

[Geek]

If you're hoping for anything other than

Spoiler

Halo 4

, you're going to be disappointed.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

See, I am really leaning towards Halo 4, but the "Jaw on the ground" quote is throwing me off. While Halo 4 surely does look good, and we have got a taste of that, its hard for me to imagine it having that effect on people, namely because its a known IP and is running on the 360. If it were something entirely new, then maybe I could see that, but I dunno.

Then again, I imagine this, in game, should look "jaw on ground" good-

Still, I dunno, don't get me wrong, I hope Halo 4 would have that effect on people, Im just not sure how likely that would be.

 

[dragonelite]

No possibility of a expansion or stand alone expansion on Crysis xbla or Crysis 2?
I do think they will save crysis 3 for next gen.

 

[Mdk7]

Crysis 3, duh

Crysis 3 is coming FOR SURE.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

It's Halo 4

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Still, I dunno, don't get me wrong, I hope Halo 4 would have that effect on people, Im just not sure how likely that would be.

If the whole campaign looks as good as what little we've seen of it, it will.

 

[Metal-Geo]

Crysis 4.

 

[monome]

People who shit on Halo 4, I shit you back.

GI hyping the potential reveal of the 360's marquee title (and probably it's swan song as far as MS studios are concerned) just makes sense.

Crysis 3...what's the point? shouldn't it release on PS720 as a launch title? it will die against COD/Halo/Bioshock if it releases this winter.

 

[ULTROS!]

I bet it's going to be one of the following:

1. A futuristic shooter
2. A modern warfare shooter

 

[mrklaw]

what if it was a game where a modern soldier is accidentally sent back in time to WWII, where he meets his grandfather who is a GI fighting the nazis. Then both of them get sent into the future where they meet the guy's own grandchildren, who are actually AI robots fighting in a future war.

 

[GlamFM]

Hope it´s GTA V, don´t think it is..

 

[Corky]

Someday, I hope Gaf bans/prohibits shallow hype bait "teasers/announcements/pseudo-reveals" by other news outlets be it other sites or magazines.

One step away from just letting GI creating ad-threads on the forum itself ( which they aren't allowed to).

 

[EVIL]

Better chance of this than Crysis 3

Ryse is a next system title, so obviously no

Game of the year

 

[Majanew]

Wonder how long before Nintendo starts the Wii U hype since the system launches this Fall. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a Wii U title, but it's probably something from Crytek running on PC.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

If ends up being a Crytek game then it better be TS4.

 

[Castor Krieg]

GameInformer hyping up another unimpressive reveal.

Need to make these bulletshots popular somehow.

That's still up in the air, it's never been confirmed or made clear.

That looks great, but it wouldn't surprise me if it it just looked like a Bungie game. Hopefully they'll do something different and interesting.

 

[Mario007]

to be fair though XCom and AC3 were pretty damn interesting cover stories. Even TLOU was basically our first real look at how the game plays.

 

[Aguirre]

Could well be Halo 4. Judging from the ViDocs, it's gorgeous and vibrant. Double positive!

 

[Gazzawa]

Mirror's Edge 2

Dat Frostbite 2

 

[Maffis]

Dat Frostbite 2

"Blast holes in the wall and then RUN THROUGH THEM"

omg amazing.

 

[UrbanRats]

So, AC3 was this month, GTA5 is too soon, Halo4 didn't look "jaw dropping" and i doubt the next CoD will.
What's on the table next? Resident Evil 6? Medal of Honor? Maybe it's the next Avalanche game, they had a couple scheduled for 2013, you never know.

 

[dgrdsv]

I call bullshit on "gorgeous screenshots" unless it's some project for the next gen hardware or a PC exclusive (and both are highly unlikely to recieve a GI cover story next month).

Believe...

I've been listening to latest podcast from 343i and they talked about visuals for quite some time. Specifically mentioning how excited they are to show of new tech and artstyle to people. They said they have best artists in business and that new tech is amazing, so I hope for best. There are guys from Rockstar, ND, GG, id, SSM, EA, Pixar etc. They are full of talent.
