Such a thing as good art is highly subjective, I am always greatly amuse when people try to convince themselves that there is some kind of universal bad art that everyone should hate and vice versa.

 

[NullPointer]

wow great post I really want to play this now.

Do yourself a favor and play it loud.

There is certainly such a thing as bad art and good art. But yes, objectivity can often be lost behind personal prejudices.

Well you seem quick enough to decide what's 'terrible', guess that makes you an expert too.

I don't know how I'm quick to decide. But No that's my opinion. And my opinion is based on what I think looks cool or not. But I don't think those that like Bayonatta's whatever are keen to fawn over generic crap and not know decent art if it smacked them in the face.

 

[Windom Earle]

Edge scoring is so bad that it makes IGN reviews seem relevant.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

GOW3 should have at least been nominated for Visual Design. Or at least gotten SOME recognition for the Chronos sequence.

Yeah, I don't know who at Sony Santa Monica pissed in everyone's breakfast bowl, but the lack of respect shown by the nimrods in the gaming press for what the Santa Monica studio did with GOW3 is a real shame to me. I just played it for the first time earlier this month, and was blown away. Surely this game deserves to be mentioned with the best in gaming in at least a few categories this year.

 

[Discotheque]

Only visuals and sound design really. Playing it is a snoozefest.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

:lol Bayonetta

EDGE credibility ruined.

Seriously though, I cannot fathom the praise for Bayonneta.

And Edge is more out of thouch with gaming than ever before. UK gaming and in general. Last bastion of 'japanese games are just better'

If you can get past the "awkward" and the "stupid" in Bayonetta....it's a brilliant game.

 

[Ranger X]

The game is easy?

. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn - [8]


Quote:
An intelligent combat system, then, but one for which Camelot fails to find a suitable threat. Bar a few bosses, Dark Dawn is a pushover, never requiring you to brave the combat's depths.

Sold!!

Great looking, great playing, tons of dept and content, fun story, unique setting/character/theme, awesome soundtrack, etc. . . It's more of an RPG than ME2 as well.

Great game...agreed, but let's not go off the deep end.

 

[Yagharek]

Looking at those reviews:

8/10 for Hydroventure and Golden Sun makes me want to try them out

7/10 for CoD seems about right, perhaps even generous simply because of how unbalanced CoD multiplayer is in general (but you still keep playing, begrudgingly because friends do)

5/10 for Dead Nation - a game I was once interested in before PSN started annoying me due to final fight shenanigans - makes me not regret moving on from that service

6/10 for Ilomilo doesnt dissuade me from wanting to try it (not that any review necessarily would) since it looks and sounds like games of old I enjoyed eg Kula World/Marble Blast

GOTY for Mario Galaxy 2 puts a smile on my face.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Great game...agreed, but let's not go off the deep end.

Don't you know?

Everything is more of an RPG than ME2.

 

[Darkflight]

Finally got my copy, why is no-one talking about the best bit of any EDGE, guessing what next month's preview is about :lol

 

[Grimmy]

Looks like the awful London Olympics logo.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

NeoGaf color scheme?!?!? Biggest Dude Bro blowout ever!

 

[yencid]

i see a 2

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

It's Episode 3. Believe.

Spoiler

No really, it's Forza 4.

 

[dallow_bg]

Mirror's Edge 2

Yay!

 

[UltimaPooh]

Mirror's Edge 2

Yay!

That's actually not so far-fetched.

Im guessing it is too.

 

[Nirolak]

No really, it's Forza 4.

The orange/black color scheme and the sharp edges/random design would both fit.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

I say Portal 2

 

[Visualante]

Not enough curves to be WipEout design. Doubt it's Forza 4. I'm thinking it's Mass Effect 3.

 

[DuckRacer]

Game Informer is debuting an unannounced game too; given that both magazines are releasing around the same time I wouldn't be surprised if they're showing the same thing. Which means it wouldn't be Forza 4 and the like.

So basically I'm guessing Mirror's Edge 2 too.

 

[dallow_bg]

First thing that came to my head.
I hope so.

 

[Nirolak]

It seems to fit stylistically.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I hate to say it but that logo kinda plays tricks with your eyes like it wants to be 3D
just saying what I see

 

[Visualante]

The orange/black color scheme and the sharp edges/random design would both fit.

I dunno why they'd go for some trifecta logo, it crossed my mind too, plus it doesn't really seem like Edge cover material to me. They're always interested in the concepts games are coming up with, what exactly can we expect from Forza that's new and interesting to talk about? It's going to be a really good racer, and have the best online feature set. As in previous iterations.

Well, it is supposed to be heavily Kinect enabled, so perhaps it will focus on that.

Oh didn't know this (as a result selective hearing). Probably that then, tbh.

The black in the Trifecta can be seen as a 2.

 

[Jonnyram]

I thought it looked like an E

 

[PowderedToast]

so why has K&L2 been completely overlooked in the visual and audio design departments? it's pretty egregious, and while I haven't seen any other awards from other publications I wouldn't be surprised if it was a common trait among them.

 

[yencid]

I thought it looked like an E

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Am I the only one seeing Perfect Dark 2?

 

[Jigsaw]

i see EA

mirror's edge was the first that came to mind also

 

[yencid]

Am I the only one seeing Perfect Dark 2?

i could see that

 

[StuBurns]

FZ would be a boring reveal, but probably. It kind of looks like a three legged Nazi sign, so I'm hoping for some neo-Nazi shit. Or Portal 2/Episode/HL 3, it could easily be something Aperture Science related.

 

[Darkflight]

I initially though it was the Abstergo logo, but once I googled to remind myself I realised it's sufficiently different to make me think of other options. Forza colour scheme matches, but I'm not seeing how that could tie into the 4th game.

I just went and dug out the last like 10 issues and the preview image sometimes suggests the contents of feature articles as well as games, but I'd lean towards a game for this one.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I have no idea. And it seems unlikely. But the colors made me think of that, and the one big arrow pointing up.

If the color is not the same I would like to preemptively point out that I'm colorblind.

Forza seems like the likely candidate.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Again, if it IS Perfect Dark 2, I CALLED IT DAWG

 

[legend166]

Looks like evilore designed a new GAF logo and got EDGE to hype it.

 

[StuBurns]

Maybe Armature are ready to announce their game. The logo is vaguely in keeping with the website design I think.

It also kind of reminds me of the MGS logo.

 

[TTP]

Assassin's Creed 3?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I think the 3DS needs a new IP for hype
The DS had new IPs but so far the 3DS has only shown remakes and old IPs
and because of the way the logo is shaped I still say something 3D

that logo could also be the new PSP2 brand (a new name to be revealed maybe)

- I think most of the guesses here do not match the colors are off for FZ

 

[Darkflight]

Assassin's Creed 3?

Yeah, my first thought was the Abstergo logo, seems oddly soon though

 

[big ander]

Please be Mirror's Edge 2 or whatever Bungie Aerospace is. Or AC3 I guess, though I never got around to finishing AC2 or even starting AC:BH :lol

 

[Smiles and Cries]

 

[C4Lukins]

I see three sevens, dun dun dun.

 

[iceatcs]

Don't think it do anything with 4 because it would be mirrored.

I hope it is one of new IP from Bungie
