From GameNewser: "Controversy just follows Edge wherever it happens, and it happened again. A recent article titled "Japan: Weekly PS3 Sales Drop To 57,000" tells of the slowdown Famitsu publisher Enterbrain predicts (the real numbers will appear when Media Create releases them on Friday). It's not that the numbers are or aren't correct. It's that in the face of an anti-PS3 agenda that Edge (and its right arm Eurogamer) are accused of having, they forget to mention that it's not only the PS3 that got the slowdown prediction, but ALL game consoles suffered slowdown.
Too bad for Edge, because, at least in this instance, the accusation has some mustard behind it."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Not sure it really matters. I don't know anyone who visits Edge or even hear them mentioned except every once in a great while where everyone laughs at one of their 'reviews'.
A long time ago before most gaming websites started up and people had Net access, the physical magazine was very popular because it was large and had large amounts of screenshots of games.
But that was a long time ago. Now they are just another irrelevant gaming media site. The infamous:
Cons: -2 pts PS3 Exclusive
At the start of this gen one of the Edge staff actually came right out and stated in a forum post that, yes, they do review PS3 games on a harsher scale.
The only thing of any interest about the cesspool of a gaming site is that they still have angry and hardcore Xbox fans working for them. Almost every other gaming site has long since fired or gotten rid of those type of people long ago.
You have to wonder what compels someone to want to spend their lives spewing hate for Sony at a site like Edge. It hasn't made a bit of difference. The PS3 is third fastest selling console ever. The Slim is selling like mad. PS3 exclusives dominate in graphics and number.
doesnt matter to hardly anyone out of the U.K.
so my question is...Is Edge even big in Britain?
Edge are one of the many scum of the gaming world. False articles, low ps3 exclusive review scores and inconsistency. Who ever takes them seriously is.....
I honestly don't know what Sony did to these guys to make them so angry as Sony.
