The Leap
I
once jumped out of a plane. Not by myself,
and not without a parachute, but I did it.
I never thought I would be brave enough
to do it, though once the deed was done I
wondered how the feat was ever in question.
The nervous lead-up was the worst of it, as a
sea of questions and concerns thundered in
my head. Then my feet left the safety of the
plane and the negative thoughts fell away in
a wash of noise and pure adrenaline rush.
Players around the globe now sit with that
same nervous energy I associate with that
fateful jump (with less fear of death) as we
await the arrival of PlayStation 4 and Xbox
One. Which system do I get? Do I pre-order?
Do I go at midnight? Do I get them both?
Do I care about Kinect? Do I bide my time,
sit back, and enjoy my current system until
the battle between console manufacturers
becomes more clear?
I have been wrestling with these questions
myself, as each passing day brings more news
and controversy around the new systems.
With Batman: Arkham City Origins and Grand
Theft Auto V available only on the current
platforms, and most of the launch titles for the
next-generation systems created with both
new and old platforms in mind (and thus not
taking full advantage of all the new bells and
whistles new consoles have to offer), there is
no easy answer.
Much like the moments leading up to step-
ping out of a moving airplane, as anxiety sets
in I ask myself, “Would I really be willing to
play the ‘lesser’ versions of certain games
knowing there are superior versions available
(even if only by graphic quality)?”
Panic.
I have made plenty of bad decisions in
the panic of the moment, and on that plane
I certainly thought I was making one, but
with the next generation of consoles I’ve
decided the leap is worth it. Now there is
no looking back.
Not everyone will go with next-generation
consoles this holiday, and the good news is
there are so many amazing games you may
not even notice. But if you are like me and
have to make the leap, then embrace the
change and enjoy the rush. There really is
nothing quite like new consoles, and from
what I’ve seen of the games on the horizon
(coming soon to Game Informer covers) we
have a lot to be excited about.
So which system comes with a chute?
Enjoy the issue.

Game Over
As long as there have
been video games where
you could die, there have
been screens reminding
you that the game is over.
This month we test your
knowledge to see if you can
distinguish between these
death screens.
