Ouch - harsh words! I was always suprised that insomniac, who did platforming *so* well, spat out an FPS. I guess the people who put their creative heats and souls into R&C just couldn't be fucked with resistance :(

Yeah same here, it just needed that traditional 12 months to get properly started. I'd say you can buy a 360 with confidence now, the good games are definitely starting to appear.

Yep, and the entire article is very downbeat, not just the bits I quoted. As for the visuals, they look nowhere near as sophisticated and extravagant as Gears Of War, technically or art direction wise. And we already know that they've screwed the online side up. Edge score prediction - 6/10

Their PS3 Devil May Cry preview was less depressing, but hardly enthusiastic. You're probably looking at a 7/10 for that, I reckon.

So that is RFoM and Motorstorm with some real negatives.

Is there anything left in the launch lineup that will make us go wow?

The launch delay could be a real plus for Europe at this rate!

Plays okay apparently, not as good as it looks like it plays from the vids by all accounts./

Where is he? I can't believed he's abandoned his own thread. Probably wanking and crying over an 8 year old laptop. You'll gum up its innards!

In the cause of fairness it's worth pointing out that my mates who played the game are also developers and you know how needlessly bitchy we can be :)

If it isn't now being released until after March, they may as well delay it until autumn 2007, when some good games may be forthcoming.

Seconded. Even Crashlander made me smile.

'Bah. I'm running later than a European console launch!'

But seriously Alarm, delay until autumn? :? They're already making people think twice as it is now...

Heh, I've never read Crashlander but the rest of the mag was ace. I really enjoyed the Time Extend on Serious Sam, gotta dig that out again, and the Mass Effect preview was informative and well written. The article on FAQ writers was a great idea, exactly the kind of thing that sets Edge apart from other mags. Good show.

The next few issues will be interesting, PS3 and Wii reviews in the next one.

I've only really taken up console gaming with a GC and I got that relatively late compared to everyone else. Do early adopters always get disappointed like this? I remember the first wave of PS1 games being pretty bloody awful, and that the PS2 games were barely a step up from the late-era PS1, but since I never actually owned either of them I could be talking rubbish.

I've read about that SNES had a lovely launch. I woudn't know though, I was humping my Amiga these days. :P

Really?! Congratulations! I loved Ratchet and Clank, played through all of them (apart from getting stuck on the 3rd for rather a long time). One of the best platformers of the previous generation :)

poll at GamePro I just noticed:

When will you get your PS3?

On launch day 13.6%
December 2006 6.8%
Early 2007 14.0%
Late 2007 25.9%
I don't want one 39.6%
Justified and Ancient.
