Edge #258 - twenty years special, seven old games revisited

Final set of covers.

Eh, I'd go for the Uncharted 2 cover, overall pretty meh last batch. They had a great opportunity for a vintage cover with RDR but oh well.
 
I'm going to assume you know about the characters and stages already announced which is mostly what the article talks about. "Ayano insists this isn't just a case of dropping a failed game's models into the engine of one whose appeal endures five years on from its arcade debut" [...] "The absence of SFXT's universal Boost combo system will certainly mean that four of USFIV's five new characters play differently but they sure do look the same" [...] "Until we see the curtain pulled back on USFIV's fifth pugilist it's tempting to see USFIV as Capcom at its most iterative."

Cammy and Akuma will be toned down while buffing up characters at the other end of the tier lists. They want it to be balanced while retaining diversity. (seems obvious to me)
Thanks for the info my good sir.
 
Has it really been 10 years since their 10th anniversary covers? That's scary... this is the only picture I can find of the Metroid cover I've got of that edition, looks real slick.

Not bought Edge in a few years, not much of a fan of their new size format either but I'll have to hunt down a copy of this issue and hopefully find the Shenmue cover.
