Posted September 18, 2005 I've seen this yesterday and was really amazed, because EDGE is hard to impress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2005 As I said In the other thread Edge is a classy magazine. Looking forward to the 'revo' Issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2005 They seem to be pleased about the controllers potential just like the majority of us are. Though this is EGDE we're talking about and are hardly going to shun a perfectly decent concept simply because it's made by Nintendo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 18, 2005 Too bad I don't have open-minded friends like you guys. My friends refuse to look at the video and they say "I'm not gonna look at it because I know how it works!" Dumb asses! They think it's just a control pad which looks like a remote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 18, 2005 EGDE is a gaming magazine, i guess its just UK based? its multiplat, and quite respected (although very harsh too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 18, 2005 I still dont think it will do anything to change the sony revolution. Which im part of by the way. But yes, great response. I guess you're reffering to the revolution of using the same controller for three generations in a row (and for the psp)???? Or that of just making better graphics which anyone can do???

Posted September 18, 2005 The only problem is that casual gamers dont buy EDGE. Im sick of FIFA after FIFA but casual gamers are essential to a consoles success these days. Still may convince some more "Hardcores". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2005 The only people I know who read Edge are multi-platformers, and/or are the kind of people open to new ideas. I don't know any PS2 only gamers, or Xbox only gamers, or Gamecube Only gamers who read Edge. It's one of those magazines that you'll only buy if the cover story concerns your platform. I did buy a few copies when I was an GC only gamer, but that was mainly to research the Xbox, which I later bought. Edge is the magazine for intellectual gamers. This doesn't necessarily mean people with a brain, it means the kind of gamer who isn't stubborn or arrogant towards when it comes to what games they play. I always expected that the Revolution controller would be something out of the ordinary, and that's because I'm and intellectual gamer. Like the people who use this forum. I wouldn't say that there are many people here who are biased towards one thing or another without just cuse. That's what intellectual gamers do, they give reasons for their tastes. I've gone a bit off topic here, but basically, Edge may not make any difference at all. But considering how nice the covers always are, it's tempting to open up and read no matter who you are.

Posted September 19, 2005 The only problem is that casual gamers dont buy EDGE. Im sick of FIFA after FIFA but casual gamers are essential to a consoles success these days. Still may convince some more "Hardcores". FIFA seems to be our Madden. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
