Game Informer May 2012 Cover revealed: Halo 4

Once again not really a shocking reveal, but then again the most exciting stories this year so far have also been games that we already knew were coming. (TLOU, AC3)

I do think we will get something surprising next month though, after all it is the month before E3.
 
It's like people aren't allowed to be underwhelmed with a Halo cover reveal.

I think when people actually see the screen shots they will have more of a right to be underwhelmed. If they were not Halo fans in the first place or don't play console games anymore there is 0 chance they would be hyped anyways.
 
There's no hate, really. People (including me) just wanted a new and exciting game reveal, instead we got a game that we already know is coming for months, and we already have gameplay footage and ViDocs of. Kind of boring.

We haven't seen any single player footage other than Chief hanging out by himself.
 
Yes, I think it's time to use that ignore button for the first time since ages.

Can you give me some Reach screencaptures that show off it's graphical fidelity? Because I have the game in my system right now, and well, it's not really a looker.

And please, try not to use theater mode screens.

You're kidding right? My uncle has that game and i played it, its medicore in grfx. Plz show me parts of the game where it isnt medicore in grfx and i will back off. Its a good game though and im not even a FPS fan im just speaking gfx specifically. Oh, it takes someone voicing their opinion that you dont like to ignore them?

I would think so. We are not that far from E3 now.

Recently a lot of companies have been opening the floodgates of information on their game, while game release is well off, I mean Borderlands 2 as an example

If GI only has info, then next we hear of Halo 4 is E3, then good, but if other websites get other info and is released slowly on weekly/bi-weekly process, yeah, the E3 thunder will be big for MS

Surprised MS didn't wait till E3 as you said we are kinda' close

Some people just expected an unannounced game or a game that hasn't had in game footage before, they have a right.

Any other populair franchise doesn't get this much hate.

Look at all the past reveals, all pretty positive reaction (well except Southpark, but that was mild to say at least).

The tweet said nothing about an unnannouced game or that people have already seen it. As much as people read into things, they neglect to even notice that?

There were signs pointing to it being Halo 4, its honestly their fault for getting hyped and still falling for that shit. This happens in every magazine and every "exclusive" online reveal. You think people would have learned by now, I mean remember that "Killer Reboot" thing that turned out to be AC3?

People need to keep their expectations low and in check.

I've learned from that, that's why GI covers don't affect me anymore, but the reactions to others who were excited but let down are ridiculous imo.
 
This gen was just packed with Halo. So With this being the start of the new Trilogy, we get to mainstream Halo games per generation. I wonder how many spin-offs will be made for the 720.
 
Call of Duty? Mass Effect? Angry Birds?
I meant in the context of GI cover reveals.

Crysis 3 and Halo 4 where listed as possible reveals in the first post, the fact that Halo 4 was revealed should not really baffle anybody. People should have already excepted that it might be Halo 4.
 
I really dont understand all the hate, if you aren't into Halo that's fine, but there has been only one miniscule info drop so far, with like a minute of obscure footage and 3 screens from this game. We dont know what it looks like at all tbh, so I think this is a pretty big deal.

Oh, didn't know they had a cover gallery. Nice looking back.

I can't lie, that is a way cooler cover.
 
Even the art is boring, is that what GI thought we would be talking about? I hope those screens are decent. But if it's running on Xbox 360 hardware, I don't really see how I could be impressed anymore. Still wishing Halo 4 were a 720 launch title. Then even I would be interested in being an early adopter.

I think all future announcement hints for magazines and online reveals needs to have a giant label of !DON'T GET HYPED! because the cycle keeps on going on and just never ends :(
 
For those who think Reach is nothing special graphically, please name 10 console FPS that look dramatically better. Yes, I'm asking for a list war for the sake of clarity.
 
That's the first thing I noticed

Congrats, you just proved the tweet about "the thing people will most talk about is the character on the back of the cover" true.

He made that tweet because he knew some would be pervs enough to notice that first. :/

Yes because it's our fault for noticing a blue, virtual women with huge tits.
