Here's to hoping it's a PC/PS4/XBO RPG of some sort
or acronym simulator

It could talk about what it used to look like compared to what it looks like now.
yeah, my thoughts exactly.
I am starting to convince myself it's a comprehensive feature of more games, either for PS4 or more likely for Xbox One
but it's just a hunch, obviously

Any idea what time they reveal it? Do they have a normal time that they usually do?

it going to be another third party game of some importance. but maybe not something thats announced. my guess..
-EA Visceral's Battlefield game thats due out this fall.
-Activision unannounced IP's
-Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs re-branding
EDIT: maybe Rocksteady's new game? its been several years.

It should be in 2 hours. 6pm European time
It's the lowest point I can remember at least. It's like they tried to find the least impressive and ambitious title the industry was currently working on. I know not every cover can be a home run but damn it doesn't have to be that bad either. Must have been a really slow month last month.
I was thinking Watch Dogs too, showing off what they changed, why it was needed etc. Then again, I have to think about them saying they wouldn't focus on big AAA cover reveals anymore, but on the unknown... the "surprises"... the "sleeper hits".
So far (since they said that) all of their covers have been new games and not exactly AAA.
But yeah, Watch Dogs could help with the end of Ubisofts fiscal call coming up etc.
How does a 20 page story make sense for a game that's basically ubiquitous at this point, that GI themselves already reviewed? What, is it a half-page blurb and 19 and 1/2 pages of screenshots?

I disagree, I thought it looked pretty cool.

Yeah, GI has really been stepping out of their comfort zone with those shooter and licensed game covers.
Hmmmm...good question. lol

I think that would have been more appropriate for Jan or Feb during/after CES and SDD.
Atm I'd expect a general Steam Universe coverage around the launch when things get ready for prime time (SteamOS and controller mainly), if there's going to be a coverage at all.
But your guess is not impossible though....

Phantom Pain to market Ground Zeroes I can believe
Yeah, with David Hayter making a cameo appearance as Solid Snake. Believe...believe.
Sorry, the 20 pages kinda slipped my mind for a second, d'ohhh.
Okay, it isn't GTA V. Then it's the renamed Watch Dogs, or a new Assassin's Creed. I can't think of anything else that's big enough for 20 pages, considering the fact that other games already had their coverage or games that aren't officially announced yet (Fallout 4, Zelda U, and what not).

I'm so glad I'm not the only one holding out hope.
I think they meant they will focus on smaller titles more often but it's not like a AAA title will never get the cover again.
If it is watch dogs GAF owes us both cookies.
It was just a guess coming from the "20 pages".
I just can't imagine an article with 20 pages about one single game (not that certain games wouldn't justify it..).
I take it back, we've found a new low!

Eww. Thats nasty. I hated those games so much. IMO.
I'm eager to know more about Bad Company 3. Can't wait. But it doesn't seem likely considering BF4 is still a mess and announcing a new one with a lot of fanfare would be illadvised.
1 hour and 45 minutes
Roughly 6300 seconds - give or take a few seconds. I'm not kidding.

Yeah, it's a cool concept, it's apparently addictive as fuck according to those who played it and Turtle Rock has an excellent track record. I predict this will end up on quite a few GotY lists at the end of the year. Quote me on it.
I thought it was one of the more interesting articles in quite some time. Not in the least because it was a new IP we didn't know that much about and which is actually a bit different from the usual stuff.
But hey, it's Derrick. If it isn't a bug-riddled Obsidian RPG it's automatically uninteresting.

expect something low and out of the left field
A game that we never knew was in development and really didn't care

You are focusing too much on it being a single game reveal. Maybe it's a bigger story like a VR special or upcoming next gen games or a review of the last generation.

It is the Last Guardian. We are finally going to see more info about it.
BELIEVE!
BELIEVE!
I'd really love me some Dishonored 2 too, but I can't imagine a full 20 page coverage. Same with Borderlands en Uncharted, actually.
Magic Mushroom

Yeah you're right, that's possible too. Although a review of last generation would be kind of sucky considering the tease. It wouldn't be much worth the tease if you ask me
