Or something I want. You know?

Ah, you stole the first in my list of guesses, along with the somewhat obvious Diablo 3. Another guess - Elder Scrolls 5. Fallout 3 has already been announced, right?

Games I don't think it will be:

Everquest 3
Sovereign
Leisure Suite Larry 8
Pong 2

Business model apparently: favorable cover stories in exchange for exclusive announcements.

Compare their rating for Hellgate: London with pretty much every other game review.

Unfortunately, Computer Games Magazine went out of business, PC Gamer is the top seller.

My favorite of all time was PC Games. It too is gone. Too few major exclusive announcements on their cover.

Computer Games Magazine was a piece of shit. Good riddance. "Games for Windows Magazine" is just as bad.

Yeah, it could be any of those, really. Fallout 3 was announced, and extensive coverage has been done it already.

I think the next elder scrolls has allready been announced, and bethesda will start working on it once they are done with Fallout 3. Not long ago I read about a rumour regarding Baldur's Gate 3, that was to be announced in a mag. Can't be bothered to look it up, but that might be it. But, erm, who really cares, we'll just see when the mag hits the street, won't we? Unless your the speculating type of person, whatever get's your freak on I guess

 

[TehMac]

Well, if MarcVenice says it might be Baldur's Gate 3, then I guess that's what it is.

Police Quest V

In one incident you get called to the local city zoo to handle an escaped bear

 

[chizow]

My guess is the announcement of the BioMMO, BioWare and LucasArt's collaborative project.

 

[AMDZen]

This day and age its almost certain to be a Mamorpaga which means I don't care what it is

That would be an original IP and not part of a series.

 

[newb54]

Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.

I think it is safe to say the new game is Battlestar Galactica.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Could be a story on the free Battlefield title coming from EA that will use the micro transaction format to finance development.

Of course, GFW has already talked about this on their podcast, so it would be old news.

Maybe they're going back to give Crysis a 10, since they didn't kiss Crytek's ass enough for the exclusive review the first time.

 

[Cabages]

Gonna be April fools.

 

[mrblotto]

Maybe it'll be a Star Wars title. Ewoks are kinda like bears.............bears I wanna beat to a pulp!

 

[imported_Imp]

Meh, nothing's "huge" anymore. I stopped looking at previews years ago cause release dates and pre-release ramblings are mostly bs. When it comes out, I'll think about checking it out.

If it is, they know people will be pissed. I really think that's a stupid thing to say. Especially considering I talked to Dan Stapleton, and he assured me it was a game.

 

[UTFan81]

It's gonna be Madden 2009 featuring Da Chicago Bears.

What game do we know which features bears prominently?

Any game that involves some stimulus that turns living things (including bears) into giant-super-zombie-ish things.

Says "it has bears" not "it features bears".

By that logic, the original Starcraft "has bears". They're called something else, but I'm talking about those bear-like arctic animals that run aimlessly around the screen.

Could be anything.

Maybe the PC version of madden will use the next gen engine this year?

 

[fallout man]

John Carmack's Big Hairy Bears and Real-doll Dress-up Party. I heard that it's supposed to have real bitchin random textures. I can't wait.

So, are you guys waiting for more news before you upgrade your rig for this game?

It will probably be the next WoW expansion. Whoopdedoo.

:Q I don't think so...I hope I don't.

But here's the thing, Far Cry 2's little blurb was that "The game will feature a tree"

And the relevance was that trees could be set on fire.

...and this game "features bears"


So....

... the bears can sh*t in the woods? Sweet!

That's my guess.

This game has been in development longer than most people on these forums have been playing games.

This was my first thought & I was playing PC games for several years before the original announcement. (yes I'm old)


Not sure how bears fit in with this title though....

 

[Skott]

Ever notice how they all say they got an exclusive peek/review of a game and then the next month, and sometimes the same month, another mag has it too? I like the mag but I laugh when they start using the word 'exclusive'. PC Gamer isnt the only one to do this. And this has been going on long before Verderman even started working there. Anyway, game mags are becoming a thing of the past now. The internet has the same info within the same time frame. One by one I'm letting my game mag subscriptions lapse and instead going to the websites where I can get the info free. The game mags served their purpose well in their heyday but that time has now passed.

Maybe instead of pigcops they got bearcops now?
