Fallout: New Vegas - Game Informer Rumours [Updated]

Are we finally going to see the Fallout: New Vegas reveal?  NMA has an unconfirmed summary of a rumoured upcoming Gamer Informer feature.  Background stories (similar to Dragon Age's Origins), tweaks to Fallout 3's version of SPECIAL and vehicles are all discussed.  Here's an excerpt:

- Similar to Dragon Age: Origins, at character creation the player can select from different background stories. The first few hours of the game are different depending on which background you choose, and you get some unique perks based on your background when the main game begins.

- One background story is shown, Chinese Agent. The background story takes place before the bombs fell. The player is part of a team of Crimson Dragoons infilitrating Hoover Dam. You manage to sneak through the Americans' defenses, set explosives, and head to an extraction point, but your escape is cut off by American soldiers in Power Armor. The player and other survivors of the Crimson Dragoons take refuge in a cave in the canyons, where they commit hari kari with cyanide capsules. The player about to do the same when the bombs fall. The background story ends an indeterminate time later, when the player exits the cave, removes his helmet, and sees his ghoulish reflection in the waters of the Colorado River.

Update: VG247 points out a tweet from Game Informer's Andrew Reiner, denying this is their next cover:

Fallout: New Vegas is NOT Game Informer’s next cover

...and NMA themselves have updated the piece, saying "we've all been trolled, lol".
