Game Informer to reveal Fallout 3 details?

[ Game -> Update ] - More info on Game: Fallout 3

With what appears to be previously unrevealed concept art on the front cover of it's July edition, Game Informer magazine promises to reveal information about Fallout 3:

With the trailer arriving today, we felt it would be rather fitting to announce our July cover. We're blowing the lid off of one of the most anticipated returns of a franchise - Fallout 3. We bring you inside Bethesda and give you the first details about this post-apocalyptic open-ended RPG that's hitting the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2008.

Well, I'm really pretty disappointed to see that the fansites that have been around for almost a decade have been completely skipped over with "exclusives," opting instead for mainstream gaming mags. The mainstream media doesn't need to be bought on this one. It's the major fansites and diehard fans that deserve it.

Thanks to LoneGunman for the tip.

I think they`ll release some small informations about the locations or some other (for us) unimportant stuff, i doubt that they`ll confirm TB combat or not or perspective etc. And i know that, because GTA 4 + Game Informer + Released Trailer = the same story.

and are my eyes having some hallucination again or is there some green glow on this picture? nevermind.

What!? I thought the game was going to be next-gen and not current gen! angry

yes, because i am color-blind.

what i think, is that this color, which you can see on this picture, is a new gloweffect of Bethesda, to create us the illusion of radiation!

Flood of newbies demanding to know what Fallout is on June 18th, countdown starting now...

I guess it's "good for the franchise", or something. I'm gonna buy.

Well, look... they already decided to make the game playable on consoles. What do you people expect? I'm miffed that they are not giving the fan-base some "exclusive access," but ya know, we got until Fall 2008 to weasel our own information out of the company.

What I really mean to say is...

It's funny that the Game Informer gets the info before the fansites that have been salivating for a decade. KoC, if you ever get to talk to anyone from Bethesda, ask them why that is.

I'm pretty sure it's because GameInformer has a slightly larger audience than DAC and NMA. Sort of like television has a larger audience than ham radio.
