[Off-Kilter]

Wow that Fallout Shelter shade. Thought it was pretty damn good.

 

[antitrop]

5 for Tembo, eh? Guess the only thing it has going for it is its name.

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

"Rise of the Robots" isn't a very nice thing to have adjacent to the title of your cover story.

 

[Jack cw]

Looks like a Shinkawa cover.

Rise Of The Robots: Horizon: Zero Dawn

Yoooooooooooo

 

[zma1013]

Metal Gear?

 

[Handy Fake]

"Rise of the Robots" isn't a very nice thing to have adjacent to the title of your cover story.

The only thing that had going for it was a soundtrack by Brian May.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Bigger cover:

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wow that Fallout Shelter shade. Thought it was pretty damn good.

It's the most boring mobile game i've ever played. What a crock of shit, it's literally the textbook definition of a waste of time and money.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Not a fan of the cover.

Can't wait for new Horizon info so I will be grabbing this for sure.

 

[jon bones]

her story at 9? dope, i really need to play that

Wow that Fallout Shelter shade. Thought it was pretty damn good.

really? it didn't play anything more than just a f2p mobile grind fest

i'm surprised they even bothered reviewing it considering how many of those shovelware games drop on the app/play store every week

 

[WrenchNinja]

Her Story getting that love.

This made me laugh

I had a lot of fun with the 15 min trial at least. Felt like a Genesis game, which I liked.

[IAmRandom31]

You would mistake that cover for another Metal Gear preview or something. Don't like it much.

 

[massoluk]

No love for Tembo, huh?

 

[Evolved1]

Wonder if there's any actual new info on For Honor...

 

[mclem]

I had a feeling Her Story could well be the sort of thing Edge laps up. I really need to get around to trying it.

 

[marc^o^]

9 for her story is well deserved. Such a good experience for that price.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Wow that Fallout Shelter shade. Thought it was pretty damn good.

For a mobile game maybe.

 

[jon bones]

For a mobile game maybe.

you should really get around to playing XCOM: EW, Dual Destinies, FTL & Baldur's Gate II someday

 

[MetatronM]

Could they have possibly made a less interesting looking cover out of Horizon?

 

[Wynnebeck]

Did anyone else misread the title and thought they were giving a review for Until Dawn?

 

[lukeskymac]

Fallout Shelter getting a 5 is a minor consolation after that piece of crap earned Bethesda serious bucks.

 

[valkillmore]

The No Man's sky article apparently lists '2016' as the release date, and the subreddit is not pleased.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I can play those on the platforms they were made for in the first place.

 

[AndyD]

For a mobile game maybe.

Even for mobile it loses it after a few hours. Mainly because the vault becomes self-sustaining once you figure out the balance and then it's pretty pointless growth without much interaction.

 

[antitrop]

The No Man's sky article apparently lists '2016' as the release date, and the subreddit is not pleased.

The game can come out whenever it's ready, they just shouldn't have revealed it in Two-Thousand Fucking Thirteen.

Time maybe, but money. . . isn't that your choice?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

The No Man's sky article apparently lists '2016' as the release date, and the subreddit is not pleased.

Damn.

 

[benny_a]

Why would they not be pleased? There is yet another chance we'll see it at E3 at the Playstation press conference. Wohoo!

 

[Fezan]

So any new details about horizon

 

[Alo0oy]

This made me laugh

Do you have it? Can you give us the Cliffsnotes?

 

[TM94]

The No Man's sky article apparently lists '2016' as the release date, and the subreddit is not pleased.

Fuck.

It's done when it's done I guess.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

A delayed game is eventually good

A bad game? It's bad forever

 

[Whompa02]

That's exactly what I'd give to Fallout Shelter too.

 

[Insane Metal]

Goddamn Guerrilla kills it with those robot designs. They're awesome. Hopefully the game plays well too. The demo/intro got me interested.

Morpheus? Morpheus.

ZOIDS, baby. The 80s Christmas present that young lads adored, and their Fathers hated because it meant about two hours of faffing about building them with a stinking hangover.

Look at this bad boy.

A delayed game can be bad too-_-

 

[dracula_x]

The game can come out whenever it's ready, they just shouldn't have revealed it in Two-Thousand Fucking Thirteen.

that's common for modern game development, and especially for indie studios – because small team, small budget, etc. Same story for The Witness, Cosmic Star Heroine, Hyper Light Drifter, Pavilion and many other games.

I think Hello Games has planned to release No Man's Sky in 2015, but I wouldn't be surprised if this get delayed till next year.

 

[Newtype-001]

Tembo The Badass Elephant [5]

Spoiler

I thought the game was very charming and funny. Its worth that small price

 

[Visualante2]

Do you have it? Can you give us the Cliffsnotes?

No, I believe that is from last month's E3 preview. I will post the details tomorrow if nobody else does sooner.

 

[Psychoward]

you should really get around to playing XCOM: EW, Dual Destinies, FTL & Baldur's Gate II someday

3 of those games were available first on other platforms

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Man oh man, I hope Guerrilla goes all out with the dinosaur designs. We're talking about Robot Dinosaurs that evolved here. The possibilities are endless.

I will be disappoint.jpg if we don't get at least 5 different types of Raptors, one with a chainsaw for a tail as well.

 

[Pop]

How can a game be delayed if never given a release date.

 

[Yurikerr]

The No Man's sky article apparently lists '2016' as the release date, and the subreddit is not pleased.

Just to register EDGE tweeted that the "2016" date was a mistake.

It should be TBA

Edit: And now the tweet is deleted...WTF

Maybe Sean let it slip and he wasn't meant to. He doesn't seem to know his NDAs very well. Sony can't keep their dire holiday line up a secret forever.

 

[Servbot24]

Sony can't keep their dire holiday line up a secret forever.

They've already been quite plain-spoken about it though.
