Maybe the nintendo ninjas won't let them say anything more?
E3 is only two months away, and if they release in Nov/Dec then it's about time they slowly started revealing games and other juicy details.
Word-for-word what I wanted to type.
Can a South Park game warrant the statement "Screenshots ... are gorgeous. My jaw is still on the ground..."?
I agree, I would actually be very surprised if it's not a Crytek game.
Well it certainly warranted something along the lines of ( paraphrasing, don't remember the exact quote ) :
- " Wow, can't wait to reveal this to you guys, it's going to blow the minds of everyone out there"
I would be a supporter for these threads to be disallowed.
It's a monthly thing. Dead trees say they have something awesome in store for you next issue and it ALWAYS disappoints. Especially if it isn't right near E3. It's always some mediocre title or stuff we already know. The big unveils have almost always been unveiled prior to release of a magazine...
And the worst thing is that every dead tree does this. Once in a while you get lucky with a Swedish magazine which has an actual reveal because of their timing.

But we're not sure it's less powerful either (saying this for the sake of the argument, because jus as you may believe it won't be more powerful, I believe it will be).
Plus, why do 'we' not expect any media before E3? We've had information on Killer Freaks, and games such as AC have been announced since last years conference. Plus, this time in 2006, GI revealed Red Steel media to the public. You talk like somehow this time it's different. Even Reggie Fils Aime said we would be getting information before the conference.
I remember them hyping it by saying no one would be able to guess the cover.
Yeah I agree. I often enjoy the hype and do not care if it falls flat.

The guy in the OP's twitter background https://twitter.com/#!/GI_AndyMc/status/185782617004716033 is actually a Reach art. Has it always been that? Hint? Is that why Halo 4 is coming up so often?
Didn't realize we had a drop dead date of 4/5 on this either, that's good, at least it'll be resolved quickly.

Probably posted already but Andy followed up a bit about this cover on 4/2
Doesn't seem nearly as exciting as jaw on the ground et al...
"people will talk" almost seems like a hint it wont be a Halo 4. Rather, something off the wall...

WiiU game is only wishful thinking; it most probably is a game famous for its graphics, Crytek game maybe, something similar
edit: after seeing Andy's comment; maybe not Crytek game, they are jaw dropping personally or not!

I don't like the sound of "depends on how much you like the subject matter."
Now hes not enough excited?
Sounds like an exclusive, or a niche thingy the way he wrote it.
Both are different person.
perhaps it will. if the art direction is more like Braid and less like Skyrim or something, then for me, it'd be amazing.

The cover is probably Halo 4 and he's just aware that that franchise attracts a huge amount of haters online.
It would not rule out Halo 4, at all.

Me neither. It makes me fear it's a My Little Pony game.
I think you guys read far too much in everything this guy says.
It's not like he's playing chess with his words, giving cryptic codes with each tweet.. you could say the stuff he said about ANY game, and still be somewhat right.
This is also why every time there's a wave of disappointment, imo.

This trend of video game journalists using twitter to hype things is so fucked up. I think everyone can agree on that. But just look at this topic. 16 Pages already? Come the fuck on. If we want to do something about this, we should quit giving them all this attention.
Can't wait for the announcement!

Yeah, it´s basically 800 posts of nothing, spouting the same "GTA V Halo 4 omg Versus XIII & Shenmue 3 you guys" lists and posts over and over again.
It's a smart marketing move but I try to ignore the threads and just discuss in the Cover reveal thread.
Hype is a pretty powerful tactic. E3 will be glorious once again.

They're cutscene angle. I never get people oohing over cutscene angles, in engine or not. Yet it's a constant.
Bungie wasn't all that technical anyway. They only had one guy who knew how to do good water and that was creative director, Marcus Lehto.

Pretty dang proud to leave HALO in perfect hands I'm sure.
Other Halo games did not have cutscene angles? I don't get what you are saying.
I think they are more preoccupied with Destiny to even care. Can't wait to see their project.

They were just taken from a debug camera, not from cutscenes. A person was using the controller to walk around and look around in the warthog and they just detached the camera from first person view and moved it around.

Oh, they care about Halo 4, but I don't think they have anything to be ashamed of.
