Recently Edge Magazine reviewed a PS3 exclusive called Heavy Rain. Unsurprisingly it scored a very mediocre 7/10. To a lot of people a 7/10 isn't bad it's actually quite good. That may have been true 5 years ago, but by today's standards a game will more often than not fail if it were to receive an average review score of 7. So then, now that we've got that little debate out of the way here is just a few examples of how edge magazine has proven time and time again that they are a unreliable source of correct information when it comes to ps3 exclusives.
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.
"EDGE magazine thinks PS3 owners are stupid".
PS3 fanboys are. Not the owners. Nuance.
By the way N4G got the cream of the crop. It's like their headquarters.
And EDGE suck BTW.
If PS3 owners are really stupid they would have bought the faulty game console, you know the ones with the red ring. :P
Edit: Below, PS3 owners will not buy a high end PC just to play PC games. Prob works related too, DUH! Most of them are not preteen kids. :P
EDGE does have a tendency to give PS3 reviews more 7/10's, but do we really need an article pointing out what was already known? This is already well known yet it's written like it's some new found evidence. This has largely been discussed with the EDGE review of HR, so why the need for its own article?
I can't tell if EDGE is just strict/have different standards or if they really do just hate PS3 gamers. I'm inclined to believe the latter. It's not like favoritism doesn't happen in the media. I think most people have already disregarded EDGE anyway. I definitely don't care for their opinion overall though I still read the content of the review more so than look at the number/score.
fvck edge, i own both and they can suck ma d!ck. They are douche bags and should not be in the game industry. Can't stand them fuks. . . just about every game they review is so much lower than it should be.
PS3 has a lot of things to be Stupid of..
1. GOD OF WAR III
2. Final Fantasy Versus XIII
3. Gran Turismo 5
4. Low % Ratio Hardware Failure
5. Great AAA Titles
6. List goes on..
Yes PS3 owners are completely Stupid. -_- dumb EDGE.
