HYPE:

OP here's the cover for use.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I'm glad reviews are telling it like it is with Gods Will Be Watching. What a monumental failure in game design.

 

[Nightengale]

King? What a poor title to use for Miyamoto.

He deserves something higher.

 

[Mr.Pig]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Days

Edge gets their reviews out later and later these days. ;-)

 

[abstract alien]

That's a nice cover photo

 

[@MUWANdo]

Which Strider, I wonder...

 

[Storm Kyleis]

OP here's the cover for use.

Cool. Can't wait to read it.

 

[valkillmore]

What's the beef with Oddworld?

Yeah really I plan on getting this eventually.

Looks good for 61

 

[Sendou]

Gotta buy Edge this month it seems.

What happened with the full game? Played the game jam version and thought it was neat.

 

[Hugstable]

Miyamoto the Based God.

Hype

 

[Gloam]

It's interesting that Edge have started crediting features writers recently. Used to be the case that the magazine had one editorial voice save for the guest columnists. Speaking of which, I wish they'd bring back that Famitsu PS2 editor who wrote all his articles about Final Fantasy XI.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Brb finding this on my local bookstore

 

[Nose Master]

When do american Barnes & Noble usually get Edge?

 

[nofi]

What's the beef with Oddworld?

From what I heard it's a good review (in terms of the comments) but picks up on issues with the old-school aspects of the design. I'm yet to read it though, so could be wrong.

Was obviously hoping for a higher score.

 

[maxcriden]

Ah man, I wanna read those interviews. Will Edge put this online later in the month/next month?

 

[Volotaire]

Ah man, I wanna read those interviews. Will Edge put this online later in the month/next month?

Usually yes, most parts/most interviews of it.

EDIT: not anymore according to posters in this thread and their new initiative.

 

[KennyLinder]

He's holding it wrong. No wonder they aren't using its features.

 

[Tenki]

Is there any way I can import the magazine to Spain?

 

[maxcriden]

Usually yes, most parts/most interviews of it.

Sweet. Thanks Volo!

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Cool thread. Looks like this is going to be another fantastic issue from Edge as always. I bought the most recent one that focused on the Xbox One and read it on the train and thought that cover to cover it was impeccably well written and produced. What's with the review for Oddworld though? I've followed the OT and the reactions here on GAF and wider reviews elsewhere has been almost universally positive. Most reviews scored it quite highly. I thought the game was pretty good?

Is this just a case of Edge being overly harsh again?

 

[Sendou]

Do you mind digital? If not then Zinio or App Store or Google Play.

 

[Majine]

Return? When did he go away?

 

[Stumpokapow]

80 Days really is excellent. Whether it's a 9 depends on how you think smaller games should be reviewed, but it really is a great time.

I made the OT a little while ago:

Zinio is a piece of shit for me on Nexus 7. Crashes all the time.

That's a terrible photo.

Oh man. That's a shame. I'll be buying this issue then.

 

[Boards of Canada]

Where can one order this issue when it's out? I'm in Canada. Pretty sure I've never seen this on the shelves here.'

EDIT: Found out you can order single issues here: http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/gaming/edge-magazine-subscription/

Not a bad game but feels outdated seems to be the main complaint.

That looks very interesting. I really have to play that.

Oh well. I don't mind paying them for providing the kind of content I want.

 

[Ragus]

Nice. Will buy on iPad.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Miyamoto 'Return of the King'

Oh.

Where is this so called return? I only saw a bunch of tech demos.

 

[Boy Wander]

 

[Splash Wave]

Anyone know who carries Edge in Manhattan?

 

[Nibel]

Miyamoto 'Return of the King'

Oh.

Where is this so called return? I only saw a bunch of tech demos.

One bad word about Miyamoto-sensei and I will suplex you into the depths of WristwatchGAF aka the most boring GAF, so you better take care son

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Five of the reviews are PSVita games.
Vita has no games :|

 

[AmyS]

I'm interested in the making of Strider, be it the original '89 arcade game or the recent 2014 game.

 

[Tenki]

Do you mind digital? If not then Zinio or App Store or Google Play.

I rather get it retail, but if I can't I'll get it digital. Some time ago you could buy the English version of EDGE here, but I don't know if you can still do it.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

What happened with the full game? Played the game jam version and thought it was neat.

Characters that die in one chapter show up in the next, making the outcome of any given scenario (outside of win/lose) meaningless. This is unforgivable for a story-driven type of game, which it is. And it doesn't give the player enough feedback to know what is affecting their chances of success, and throws randomness into the mix to further frustrate the player.

 

[Sendou]

You'll be able to do that but it might take a while I think.

 

[GCX]

Return? When did he go away?

He's back from producing games to actually designing them.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Usually yes, most parts/most interviews of it.

I don't follow Edge Online all that closely, but someone told me a while back that they haven't updated the website in months. All part of the Future cost-cutting nonsense

 

[Chopper]

dat 8 for Hohokum

Haven't picked up Edge in ages. Will be sure to get this.

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

Not really. His role is the same as always.
