Reader Discussion: What Was The Last Midnight Launch You Attended?
Before the era of PAX and other fan conventions, midnight game launches were a prime source of comraderie amongst gamers. The phenomenon hasn't stopped, but with the advent of digital gaming and pre-loading, things have certainly changed.
With Halo and Assassin's Creed launch tonight at midnight, we're wondering if you're planning to head out to your retailer of choice. Have you opted instead to pre-buy and pre-load any of the biggest titles?
What was the last midnight launch you attended and was it your first? Your second? Your twentieth? If you don't attend anymore, we'd love to hear about any positive memories from those you participated in (even if the best part was playing until the sun came up).
If you're headed out to a midnight opening tonight (or any time this fall), be safe. And, of course, be sure to have fun.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
