Sigh... again... already had a cover so we can exclude that.

I expect the worst. Gotta keep those expectations in check. And wasn't that cover in June 2012? Those were early days and the game is about ready to launch.

Elder Scrolls sells. Gonna keep my chips on it!
 
Why would they do Elder Scrolls Online again?

I don't think it will be anything much since it doesn't feel they are hyping this cover as much as they usually do. Watch Dogs makes sense since it's one we know about but never had a cover story.

I'd just be surprised if it was an big reveal or on something trut exciting. I guess we'll see.
 
Has there ever been a time where a GI cover was really really amazing? All the ones I remember were "oh thats cool" kind of reveals. Never anything spectacular.
 
Watch Dogs is my guess

maybe, maybe L4D3 (not sure the game alone would warrant 20 pages, but together with Source 2 I can see that happen)

Their GTAV reveal was the first proper look into the game if I remember correctly.
 
John Walker is whining about it on Twitter, so it must be PC related

I don't think that tweet has anything to do with what specific game it is, but is more a jab at how silly it is to invest so much marketing money in print media in 2014 (specifically in just one magazine).
 
Major title without a PC release?

Not a console exclusive at the very least

Fair enough, it's hard to tell when he's indignant and offended or just indignant and self-righteous
 
Destiny had two covers.

One cover, the first cover was a E3 Hot 50 issue. they just used the Destiny cover as top one in the gallery.

I don't think it'll be AC V or FC4, too soon and there haven't been super secret press reveal events for both games. Previous AC reveals were late february or early march iirc and there hasn't been anything yet.

Well, not that I'm aware of.
 
I expect something rather generic and uninteresting but it HAS to be better than last month's cover. That was probably the lowest I've ever seen game informer.
 
Well to be fair a large portion of gamestops customer base gets their gaming news from gameinformer, so if there is a magazine were it might still make sense it would be that one.

Oh, well Game Informer isn't just some random mag. Its circulation in the US currently stands at 8.2m. It's the third biggest magazine here. So, it's definitely a big deal to be able to get your game on the cover.

oh, I don't doubt that. Not really familiar with them, but this is what I got out of Walker's rant/jab.

Borderlands - Septermber 2007 - Before the art style was stolen decided on.


Max Payne 3 - July 2009 - 3 years prior to release. The only Game Informer cover of the game.

You only get one.
