OPM must have had a very sad history if Batman is their biggest cover yet...oh man, I'm glad I didn't fall for the hype like I usually do.

 

[Coxy]

Batman hype repellant spray

 

[darkwing]

lmao

I think this should serve as a lesson



dat hypetrain

 

[nowheretorun]

Real calm.

Thanks.

 

[StuBurns]

I'm ashamed I thought a GTA5 port wouldn't be big enough news, it's like canis majoris compared to this.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah, I knew it would be disappointing :s

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Never in my wildest imaginations would I have known that Arkham Knight would be coming to Playstation 4. I'm literally in shock right now. OPM UK is going to sell like gangbusters because of this historic announcement. Official Xbox Magazine's editor-in-chief is crying himself to sleep, I'm sure of it.

 

[N7Commander95]

Well I for one like Batman. But still lol

 

[Radec]

18 pages of hype, hopes, and dreams.

Never change gaf.

 

[Billen]

How can it be that people keep hyping themselves up? Next up, VR thread.

 

[Kacho]

Video games are changed forever.

lol yup, it's going to be earth shattering

 

[Jack cw]

Haha, wonderful. Shenmue, Last Guardian, FF7 Remake, Demons Souls 2....
Magnificent conclusion

[gundamkyoukai]

Batman .....
At least some can say they saw this coming .

 

[driver116]

Updates the title but doesn't update the OP. Fail.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Why do I keep doing this to myself

 

[Castef]

Batman .....

NO ONE sees Batman coming.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

 

[Jack cw]

Batman .....

Haham but to be honest. I didnt see it coming, because Arkham Knight was an world exclusive to Gameinformer. But I guess we all have to wait for E3 for some megatons.

 

[NumberThree]

Batman and Cranky Kong hanging out!

 

[BannedEpisode]

Lol you guys...

Literally every time.

 

[FTF]

It was Batman...really??

Serious question, when was the last time one of these bs self hyped up tweets or posts, etc. actually lived up to what it was selling/hyping?!?

 

[Kerub]

How many times have this happened? Magazine talks about a reveal, GAF assumes it's Demon's Shenmue 3 and then gets mad at the magazine. How many times?

 

[Byakuya769]

Well, they got us talking about a magazine that we won't buy. Success?

 

[Sylverstone14]

 

[mjontrix]

12 page feature.

LOOOOOOOOL

/dead.

 

[w00zey]

As much as I am disappointed that it was batman and not another franchise, I need to ask were there gameplay pics????

 

[False Witness]

After all these years, you guys should know by now the only gaming magazine actually revealing games for the very first time (yes, even to you, average GAFfer) is GameInformer.

Also, it's not like we've had details about Arkham Knight for more than 10 days in the first place.

 

[Llyrwenne]

It's not so much that it isn't Shenmue or Demon's Souls, it's that the game they have on the cover, which they teased as 'the most exciting cover in our history' with 'a series of massive significance finally being confirmed for PS4' that they 'can't talk about' untill their cover (implying that this cover is the first time we'll be seeing the game), turned out to be a game that has already been officially revealed by another magazine (Gameinformer).

This 12-page article is likely just going to be a retread of the 14-page Gameinformer article. I fail to see how this is in any way exciting, even for the writer of the article itself.

Had they actually been the first to reveal Arkham Knight, then it would have been a different story.

 

[Endo Punk]

Knew it was going to be Batman. Glad I didn't set my expectations too high.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Every single time GAF.

 

[ironcreed]

The new Batrman? Yawn.

 

[Snuggles]

How often do print magazines actually break big news these days? We get a lot of threads like these but they always end up underwhelming.

 

[Bulk_Rate]

On a related subject, and not trying to be silly, but did the BBC Mystery PS3 game from a few years back ever get confirmed?

 

[Instro]

LOL

None except Game Informer generally speaking.

I think only Game Informer gets big scoops and even then it's not that often.

 

[SJRB]

Well Game Informer had the Batman reveal just last week, so there's that. The only problem was that the entire thing leaked half a day early. They also had the world-exclusive first look at GTAV.

 

[Scum]

 

[Jhn]

This entire thread is hilarious.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Hahaah it was Batman? Glad I didn't get hyped for this.

 

[ElFly]

I think Nintendo gave the Skyward Sword reveal to a magazine?

 

[monome]

thank you. thank you all. The Thread is Dead. Long live the Thread. May GAF fall for hype forever.

 

[Galactic Barret]

Booo. I wanted something new.

 

[everyday math]

God dammit Gaf.

Lmao

 

[EGOMON]

wow. such reveal. much massive. very batman.

 

[viveks86]

:/

 

[shandy706]

What happens every time there is a "huge magazine cover reveal".
