Game Informer hypes two so-called "Year Definining" Announcements

Eh? What did the ESRB do to Atlus?

The Megaton!

I bet one will be the Microsoft motion controller.

I hope not. We really don't need it. I'm hoping for a Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic 3 console announcement. I won't hold my breath but it would be nice.

Knowing GI and their relationship with Activision, I'm gonna guess it has something to do with the next Tony Hawk game (with its skateboard controller).

Actually, it's Modern Warfare 2.

Dont forget the fact that they will introduce the oh-so-cutesy pet use of the camelcase word with a lower case I before the main part of the word into the game market... Next thing you know iMario, iLegend of Zelda, iSonic, iHalo, iStreet Fighter V.

I read that as cameltoe. It really changed the whole sentence.

I believe that would warp the setence a bit...

Plus DJ Hero.

For myself (and I feel most people here) the announcements that arent the "megatons" usually mean more. Knowing the biz its probably related to Final Fantasy,MGS,Mario,Halo,Zelda,God of and/or Gears of war or games of that stature.

Oh wow, a new COD. How exciting.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Eh? What did the ESRB do to Atlus?

Stole their thunder for some of their then upcoming releases. Before Atlus made a proper announcement for a batch of games the ESRB posted the games rating data. Not a real big deal, unless your fans are as loyal, rabid and obsessed as the Atlus fans.

HD Wii? Isn't that like a Yugo Dragster? Err, just trying on the hate... No sir, I don't like it.

[skaar]

Fish Police?

It's not a Call of Duty game, and it is exciting. Year defining? Probably not, but I'm looking forward to it.

Give me a Diablo 3 release date. THAT would be year defining.

Ah. Yeah, perhaps the ESRB should hold back publishing game ratings. Though I don't think it's that big of a deal and if Atlus fans really freaked out over it then maybe Atlus's next game should be titled "Chill Pill."

It's not so much that the fans went beserk. Hell, much of what was anounced made the fans extremly pleased. Problem was it stole all of Atlus' thunder and kind of tipped their hand as to what they had licensed and what they had not. Not many companies care to have their big announcments made without their knowledge but Atlus still handled it better then most with their newsletter anouncments.
