Seems Sony is confident in this game. I am anxious to try it.

Wow, reviews on Monday huh? That's exciting.
There's difference on design approach between DaS and DaSII. Even you don't always paid attention to it, player can notice the difference subconsciously, and perhaps that what makes you like the sequel less.

They drop items and shards, which are used to upgrade weapons.

Itll probably be just like DaS and Demons. Those games didnt really have drops. Almost everything could be obtained through just playing the game and exploring. Except for BK weapons and specific NPC armors of course. DaS2 changed this and made obtaining cool armors difficult through grinding and NG+(++)
Is it possible to get a high resolution one ?
Ah OK.

Enemies don't have drops in this? How do you get new weapons and armor then?

If they are releasing reviews now it means the game is a hit.
Presumably all the other ways you got them in the Souls series: Found in the world, bought from NPCs, made from stuff dropped by bosses.
I don't know, but those enemy's are a lot fatter and also have much better control over their weapons, can't really post to many gifs for the people coming in.

ah, ok. Thanks.
Possibly from merchant and/or hand placed at specific location within the game.

What do they mean with "no class-system"?
I dunno if it's been mentioned, but it's not a review, I've got the magazine in my hand. It's basically a pre-review. They've gotten 40 hours in it seems, though it seems some things they can't mention like a new mechanic. Review is in the next issue.
Edit: NVm it has been mentioned.

My thoughts exactly. Next gen starts when Miyazaki says so.

They just want time to edit the commercials to showcase all the headline comments and review scores along with the game the week leading to launch.

That is the resolution it was on PSN for me, so not at the moment but I'm fairly sure it'll pop up somewhere with higher resolution sooner or later.
Monday is going to be a good day it seems.
Ahhh, I see. I only really played Dark Souls 2 (little of DaS & DeS), so was used to that method for some weapons/etc. Granted, most weapons could be bought or found in chests/places/etc.

have they finished the game within the 40 hours?

Enemy drops have been for the most part mediocre shit anyways
Unless you enjoy having to throw away a broken short sword and hollow soldier pants for the 40th time, that is.

Team A delivers, as expected.
Do they have any more details about the lack of class system? The classes in previous games boiled down to starting gear and initial stats but didn't really define how your character would play. We've already seen that the character creator in Bloodborne has starting options with different stats, so it seems like the class system is unchanged, no? Do they just mean that there's less options for how your character plays and that you'll be melee with a gun as a secondary weapon no matter what?
1. It's assumed that leveling is closer to DaS and Demons than DaS2 (i.e. enemies respawn everytime you use a checkpoint). Looks like there are less stats though, so hopefully there won't be a useless one like resistance.
2. It appears to be a mix. The main world is a single interconnected place, like DaS, but there is also a "safe" hub area on a separate map.

Just like the other Souls games, there are no fixed classes
You can start as whatever, build whatever, equip whatever, etc
I don't know what edge thinks classes are. Origin story's are in place to have different starting stats, and maybe some role-playing, but these games never had named classes that were in the player description. You become a hunter in the start of the game i assume and up your arsenal from there forth.
But dammit what else do they talk about in those 5 pages.

I think it'll be fine. Demon Souls was fine performance wise and Dark Souls, aside from Blightown, was pretty good (on 360 anyways).

I found this one with a ridiculous resolution by reverse google image searching the previously posted picture:
I expect to see a lot of people swapping those phrases that allow you to join a specific person's game.

It's also an experiment they say, long form reviews but no score, and they'll attach an arbitrary number the after. Actually, Edge - out of everyone - gives the least arbitrary scores, so at least it will be a number that reflects the text.
I hope the long-form reviews stick, print magazines need to do things a little differently now and use that delay-to-print time wisely. Lets have some game features like this glorious thing:
It's sad that Rich Leadbetter is remembered for different things these days.
It will still get dusty even if you use it, mate. This needs to have a new saying 'I might even take the [INSERT CONSOLE HERE] out of the box/ down from the loft now!' might do, because the 'dusty' one works about as well as the light physics in that 'WiiU at the window' image that always bends my head.
Just a guess lol

embargo lift on 16th
9 days before the launch
arrogant sony is back
9 days early isn't that unusual. People are just focusing on a few recent high-profile cases of embargo abuse.
