This is definitely a sign of how outdated print is, how can a monthly magazine bring anything new to the table in today's environment?
Out of curiosity, how many GAFfer's still buy monthly gaming magazines? Everytime I go to pick one up and look at the cover I've read/known about what's inside at least a week or more.

Scumbags? Jesus, some people are overeacting like crazy to this.
All this speculation came from a small hint on a page in their magazine; it's not as if they were making a huge deal out of it beyond that little section. It's fine to be disappointed (unless you somehow haven't heard of the new Arkham game yet), but we were the ones that hyped it up to high heaven and spawned a huge thread out of it.
Definitely ffvii remake. i can feel it in my bones. anyway, very excited to hear what it is.
..? Its Batman.

Awful. Can't say I'm shocked. These reveals always such failure.

You're damn right. Scumbags. And this is from a person who has not even read too much about the hype - probably visited this topic only twice before today.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter in my eyes whether its one line or a whole page on 'what they are trying to hype' for the next issue - they were intentionally misleading so as to gain more purchases/orders of their magazine.
In my book, this is dishonestly for self gain/profit = scumbags.
I can't help I've got morals/standards. If anyone is to ask if I've ever been dishonest for self gain/profit, then my answer would not be forthcoming as it bodes no relevance. That can be taken however that person likes as far as I'm concerned - maybe I'm a scumbag?...
Why does it bode no relevance? Because to be dishonest for self gain/profit = scumbag. End of.

My brother still receives his game magazines and even though all the news has already spread on the internet (they have a gaming website aswell) it's just nice to read their opinion after all these years, plus they have different articles in the magazine as well so it's not fully based on gaming.

Hate to do this but, quoting myself earlier in this thread. There was no way in hell this would have been a first party game.
You're being absolutely ludicrous in your accusations. In what possible context were they dishonest? GAF was bursting at the seams when it heard that the Batman game was only for PS4/Xbox One and not last gen systems. You need to grow up a little bit. An insane rant because a magazine staff member was excited about their next cover story? Ridiculous.
Furthermore, business have ever right -- actually, it's a duty - to be profitable for their shareholders. Don't act like trying to stay in business is some sort of cardinal sin.

Now you're the one being ridiculous.
How is an opinion an insane rant? I need to grow up a bit?
I'm calm. Have made my opinion. If you don't like it, fair enough but the insults are not welcome.
An apology wouldn't go a miss. Thanks.

One of the most exciting covers in the magazine's history? Ooookay. *backs away slowly*

Insults? You just called them scumbags in your temper tantrum

I think it's just a matter of them not being able to break the story in this number after all. It makes no sense tease a massive reveal like that and then fall flat on their face. Could be the VR reveal not happening due to Sony wanting it to happen at GDC. VR for the PS4 would be "massive".

Nothing! I said nothing!
They said it was a game did they not?

Heh.
No, the scan didn't mention any game, just a "series of massive significance being finally being confirmed for the PS4". I guess it sounds like it could be a game series, but it would be a series of VR goggles or something. Ok, when I write it now, it does sound more like a games series

Wow, 39 pages. Some of you need to reassess the significance of print magazines.
Nothing of any significance will ever be revealed in a magazine ever again. So there was no way that this would be anything
a) exclusive and new (and they were beaten to the punch)
b) anything other than some major mainstream sequel
If you were making some great new IP reboot would YOU reveal it in a magazine? Of course you wouldn't. So why on earth did anyone buy OPM's bs? Confusing thread, to be honest.

The over-reaction in this thread is absolutely crazy. Some of you guys need to get a grip, and fast. The amount some are shitting their pants over this in indignant rage is humiliating for everybody.
This would be the first time Batman: Arkham Knight has been revealed (in print form) in the UK. surely?
Sure, everyone who's connected to the internet knew this a fortnight ago, but we all know that print magazines are an outdated way of receiving information.

haha lame, thought it was gtav, nope it's BATMAN
GI usually has good stuff, but that's it.
GTAV would be even more lame. That game has been out for six months
Game Informer is a big exception to what you're saying.
