A new look for GamePro
- December 16, 2009 14:20 PM PST
Subscribers will get a look at the "new" GamePro when it arrives in their mailboxes later this week.
The new issue of GamePro goes on-sale January 5. Subscribers will start seeing it in their mailboxes later this week
If you're a subscriber to GamePro, you'll have a chance to see our completely new look later this week, as copies are now just leaving the printer.
This month's cover story is an exclusive 14-page look at Heavy Rain with extensive commentary from David Cage about his creative process. Cage talks about his own background, his desires to elevate video games to a more adult medium, shares personal experiences that helped shape the narrative, and describes how real world locations inspired specific scenes.
Elsewhere in the issue we speak to Epic Games artist Mike Kime about his project to re-imagine Street Fighter characters using the latest 3D rendering technology, we have exclusive translated excerpts from the novel that inspired THQ's Metro 2033, and the IO Interactive team discuss You Tube's influence on the artistic direction of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. Tim Schafer discusses his musical discoveries while making Brutal Legend, and Guerrilla Games co-founder Martin de Ronde reveals some of the creative help his OneBigGame charity is receiving from well-known developers. We also speak to 8-bit Vintners' Mike James about how video games inspired him to make wine, plus Portal writer Eric Wolpaw, Plants vs. Zombies designer George Fan, Monkey Island designer/writer Mike Stemmie, Ratchet & Clank writer TJ Fixman, and and Left 4 Dead writer Chet Faliszek discuss the challenges of making games funny.
There are reviews of Bayonetta, Dark Void, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, and a whole bunch of others in there too.
The magazine will be on newsstands early next month, and if you want to subscribe you can do that right here.

Hey John, it looks great. You totally nailed an EDGE- cover, and the interior looks clean, sharp and adult. I got really interested in reading it.
So interested in fact that I even decided to try out the subscription link, in vain hope you would ship to Europe. And look at that, you do!
I was pretty happy, since on my regular import magazines shop your magazine costs the equivalent of 11$ per issue - now that's almost a quarter of a game right there!
Sadly, your form screws up and it doesn't allow me to input my whole address, nor the city I live in. Come on, what's with the character limit? :P
Ah well, I guess i'll have to make do with just EDGE for one more month. :P Let me know if your guys fix it, ok? :)

I like the look of those features very much! So much so I've subscribed from the UK (I think - the site didn't let me enter a full UK postcode). Premature congratulations to John & co. on the revamp :)

I do miss all the funny and weird stuff you guys use to do. But like they say we all have to grow up some time. I like the new changes and from the pictures the new magazine looks great, keep up the good work. It kind of sucks that my kid wont have the same kind of Gamepro magazine I use to read when I was younger...

Yeah, that was the main reason why I stopped subcribing to GamePro because they kept changing it and making too different. I miss all that great stuff they had in the magazine back in the 90s, such great times they were.
