- Thread starter Nibel
- Start date
that picture is a bit misleading.
And it's not that microsoft has opened a bunch of new studios, right?

smfh@ some of the posters in here calling this unprofessional (Not you, Tom Penny, I see what you're doing motherfucker). They're so used to fluff pieces and glowing previews that when gaming journalist decide to slap around a major company, because they're fucking up majorly, they deem it "unprofessional". Get the fuck out of here with that.
Fuck all this neutrality for the sake of neutrality garbage. If a company is fucking up and it's direct competitor is on point then the press should reflect that reality.

I mean that the extra $100 for Xbone is not going to sink it or be the huge factor that many people seem to think it will be.
It's not a matter of spin. It's a matter of opinion. I don't think the $500 price tag is OMG HUGE LOSS, I think it's a poop cherry on top of the turd sundae Microsoft has presented the Xbone out to be.

Seriously though, this must have completely destroyed Edge's relationship with Microsoft. I don't see how they can be anything but infuriated by this.
No. It's irrelevant and barely anyone reads it.
Well, they're big enough to be able to do this. Microsoft could cut advertisement and what not, but I can't imagine them not getting any review copies and such. Still, there aren't that many Microsoft published games I guess.
Edge do this every time Sony release a new console, MS haven't blacklisted them yet, I don't see what's different this time.
If anything throwing all the toys out of the pram would be the worst possible thing they could do. Next EDGE issue: 'Microsoft blacklisted us for standing up for gamers'.
Do you believe that X1 will drop $100 in the first year?

Does not compute. How can it hold weight when it changes every generation?

MS are the only ones that lose if they decide to boycott Edge. They can expect massively damaging editorials about the disagreement and there will be no answer given by MS other than "well they were mean to us once, wah, wah". Edge can do this kind of stuff with impunity because of their stature within the industry, no publisher or platform holder can afford a fight with Edge or Future publishing. It would just be too damaging.
Seeing as Microsoft showed a game without a title (the Black Tusk game) at E3, I wouldn't be surprised if they have blown their load for the most part, just to get rid of that stigma from the reveal and live up to the promises I games, games, games.
I could see it happening right before the release of Halo 5.
This shit never gets old...
So do you buy every game or play every demo before making up your mind about a game? Ryse LOOKED like shit in the demo they showed at the conference. I think it's perfectly acceptable to say so. Dead Rising had severe framerate issues. I won't go into Killer Instinct because well I don't realy care all that much about it.
No one is going to play/buy every game; I think it's okay to make up your mind as long as when you receive more information you accept it and consider changing your opinion.
When was the last 360 price drop? I honestly can't remember, seems like it's been a while. When the original slim came out?
They could blacklist Edge. But if Edge had the stones to run with this, I'm sure they wouldn't blink at running a "Microsoft won't play with us anymore" headline next time.
They won;t be pleased for sure, but they won't do anything.

Did they?
I know they showed Halo which is probably a 2015 title, but I thought the Black Tusk game wasn't shown at E3 and they are waiting for Gamescom, which is one of their (only?) big reveal for Xbox left.
Actually the Xbox One got a lot of bad publicity in the media in the days following E3, and I am not sure the reversal of the DRM policies reached the same public interest.

Laughed at some of the modified covers. I've always thought Edge's console covers were quite poor.

Saw this on Patrick Klepek's twitter. Old?
Well the 2006 pic is probably old! It's a bit different this time around.
1. Price
2. Tech
3. Release Date
Edge is just pandering to its hard core base who has been up in arms about the One since the DRM fiasco.
We don't decide. We have a discussion involving two or more people where we each express our opinions. Sure GAF as a whole is down on MS for good reason. If MS pays for exclusive games, it won't matter at all if GAF decides they suck.
youtube is your friend. When I have some doubts, I see/read gameplay videos and impressions, from people who havesimilar tastes as mine.I'm really not interested in ryse, but If the gameplay is all like that, It will probably suck ass. Dr3 framerate problems can be adjusted.
Winner of competitions? This an advice to consumers...
Wow, the PS logo is huge on that version of the console.

The difference people aren't realizing is that MS is coming into this generation in the same spot Sony was: arrogant, riding the wave of sales, and thinking that brand loyalty would take them far and let them do whatever they wanted for DRM. Even with the 180, they are about to learn a lesson Sony has already learned before.

this isn't a prediction of who will win a sporting event, it's an endorsement of a product based on known specifications as well as company policies.
saying "x is a better machine and you should buy it" isn't the same as "x will outsell y".
Saw this on Patrick Klepek's twitter. Old?
Its been posted.
I think the tone of each cover is different, though.
2006 asks "Has Sony won the console war" and thats it.
2013 doesnt just declare them the only option but goes out of its way to trash the competition.
Oh shit! LOL!

they had similar opinions on the PS3, which didn't hold. They tend to overstate technology over substance, and the overkill of column was getting really dull.
One of their covers was Assassin's Creed 3 with PINNACLE under it. Buggiest crap in recent years.
I have not renewed my subscription.
It's cover that will sell the magazine for at least one issue though. But I doubt anyone will stay the length based on it.

Yeah... and it's a superficial comparison. They're different sentiments on the cover to start with - one's a question, one's a statement - and very different articles inside. They were not at all presenting PS3 as the go-to choice in that issue. The answer given to that question inside is 'no'.
As much as some are trying to say that this is nothing new for Edge, as a long time reader with all of the issues presented...it is. They've never so strongly come out in favour of one or against another pre-release.
Integrity sounds like an indie game title.
Coming into a race arrogant with a box with a lot of problems is one thing, but if MS is being arrogant and they deliver with Xbox One good features and good games, then that's an entirely different thing.
The Xbox One might be a less powerful console than the PS4 and doesn't allow self indie publishing, but it won't be as problematic as the PS3 was for Sony for those first 2-3 years.
my favorite typo ever
Not a typo, can't say the actual wording, to many jinx.
Still, we know which is the better machine before getting hands on with the final product?

Temporary, what with no leader at the helm..
All the leaks were basically confirmed - so yes, a technological judgment can be made with a very high probability of it being correct.

EDGE is sold in all the major supermarkets over here and loads of people will see the cover at least on the news stand.
