"people will flip out over"

This is called "hype," students. Please use the word in a sentence.

"Hype. The cover will never live up to the hype. Hype."

Correct.

 

[ChiliManiac]

HL3

That would make everyone flip and moist lol

 

[Defect]

It will end in disappointment.

Just like when the first bits of Halo 4 news surfaced.

 

[legacyzero]

It will end in disappointment.

This is pretty much how it all goes down, isn't it?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Just like when the first bits of Halo 4 news surfaced.

To be fair, a lot of people did flip out over those Halo 4 details

 

[ChiliManiac]

To be fair, this is a brand new console generation, call me hyped.

 

[IcyRhythms]

This is pretty much how it all goes down, isn't it?

Usually

all the really cool announcements come out of nowhere

 

[Face it Tiger..]

I'm surprised the news hasn't leaked already..

 

[madmaxx350]

when is this reveal happening exactly? Because Kaz's Keynote is at 11 am Central tomorrow

 

[kmg90]

should be interesting to say the least, my PS4 is ready for new games!

 

[Dawg]

I'm surprised the news hasn't leaked already..

That LOTR game didn't leak either and it was kind of a surprise too, not sure if people were waiting for that game though.

I expect something similar to that game, a game nobody expects but somewhat mid-tier AAA.

 

[TriGen]

I'm pretty sure the press was still calling them "next gen consoles" in 2009 or some shit. I don't remember it stopping until talk of the PS4/XBO/WiiU generation started happening.

Yeah. A lot of people don't seem to move on until new console rumors start.

 

[Epcott]

Kojima-san has expressed interest, though I don't think it would be something people would flip out over.

Mockup.

Is that a mound of poop?

Watch it be something like, some obscure game nobody really gives half a damn about, or something everyone already knows about (like deflated hype from a typical GT hype thread). So probably Cyberpunk or AC5.

 

[RELIGHT]

Please be Fooly Cooly!

Too early for AC V. I've been to the AC III press release back in the day (was kinda hard not to spoil that one on GAF too soon lol) and they do that in late february/early march.

 

[Ace Harding]

Is that a mound of poop?

I thought it was a man who was so excited about a new Silent Hill game he started fellating himself.

That would be an understandable response.

 

[Toparaman]

I just hope it's not a shooter. I hope it's an immersive, AAA game that's not a shooter.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Is that a mound of poop?

I thought people were joking when they said it's poop. Do you seriously see "poop" in this mockup? like seriously?

 

[bidguy]

looks more like some sort of bread

 

[Trigger]

It's finally time for that Final Fantasy VII remake, right?

 

[chrominance]

Lily Bergamo. BELIEVE.

 

[commedieu]

cmonnnnn mechwarrior...

I agree. I've been thinking that it'll be something like the LOTR/South Park announcements.

You guys must be on mobile GAF, please click on the picture, zoom in and tell me again it is "some sort of bread".

 

[mohsinkhan]

What time is this unveiled?

 

[Jabba]

PSO 2 for Xbox One and PS4.

 

[Gadirok]

My expectations are at a all time low.

Could be the new Alien: Isolation game from Creative Assembly?

Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien™, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance. As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien.

[meanspartan]

Why the hell do they always do this?

And then they act surprised when people are upset if it is underwhelming.

If a big Game Informer cover is dropping tomorrow, just don't say anything and post on your website when the time comes. That is how you turn the complete disappointment that can result from hype into a nice pleasant surprise that can happen when people hear news for the first time without the hype that gets them thinking it is X game that they specifically want.

Unless, of course, they really do have a big one and are sure of it. Only a handful of announcements could meet this sort of prerequisite for hype. And as big as Fallout 4 would be, it doesn't make this list because at this point it is so heavily rumored that it wouldn't be surprising.

Dat generic box art

 

[Bedameister]

Probably

 

[jbug617]

edit: I think it's Alien:Isolation

 

[Dash_]

Gotta be Fallout

I wish.

 

[muteant]

Game Informer cover reveal tomorrow - next-gen only "people will flip out over"

flip

flip

ouya exclusive.

 

[Mrbob]

The Creative Assembly making a shooter? Not sure if want.

 

[rob305]

[Milennia]

I would be pretty happy about alien: isolation.. That artwork we saw had me wanting more.

 

[OmahaG8]

I foresee dreams collapsing.

For a sneak preview, go check out the CES Sony thread.

 

[NeoGash]

GameInformer always hype up everything and when they finally reveal it, everyone is pissed off. GameInformer should stick to what they know best; giving 9s and 10s to every AAA game. I highly doubt this will be anything amazing, for all I know it could be Aliens: Colonial Marines 2 on the Wii U ("next-gen") "developed" by Gearbox....again...

 

[Jarrod38]

Just Cause 3

 

[sense]

alien huh, they were right. fans will flip out over how disappointing this reveal is if is is true

 

[Hyunashi]

Brace yourselves guys, it's probably just more Titanfail.

Exactly my first thought, no hype for now.

 

[RPGamer92]

Are people really gonna let themselves get excited for an Aliens game again?

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I would flip out if it's The Last Guardian, otherwise no sale

 

[Family Fry]

Picture of Alien: Isolation.

I'm going to say it's this.
Xbox One/PS4.

 

[childplease]

Are people really gonna let themselves get excited for an Aliens game again?

They are if creative assembly is making it.

Although creative needs to just focus on making a WH40k total war game.

 

[Milennia]

Are people really gonna let themselves get excited for an Aliens game again?

Its not gearbox and its not a game that was in development hell for years.

 

[bidguy]

ok that description has me intrigued
sounds like a nice survival horror game with a big budget

 

[kevin1025]

Are Creative Assembly making the new Alien game by themselves? Might be kind of neat if Relic, now that they're with Sega too, got involved and did a little Space Marine type stuff.
