Glad to see Fahrenheit receive a good score, been looking forward to this since playing the PC demo.

Like Radiant Silvergun got in Edge?

Judging by many of your other posts, I bet that if Nanostray was on the PSP you wouldn't give it 8Originally posted by Kotatsu Neko

Probably not, as I need a good dpad for shooters.Originally posted by baad bwoyJudging by many of your other posts, I bet that if Nanostray was on the PSP you wouldn't give it 8
Mind you I wouldn't have played it anyway as I don't own a PSP!Comment

Nanostray looks to me to suffer the same problems that I have with the Ray* series, that is to say, stuff is on-screen but not shootable because it's being all pretty coming to the right altitude, and the moving into the screen and out again means you're not going directly up or down, but in and out slightly diagonally, which makes hell for precision.
Basically if it's on the screen I should be able to shoot it and when I press up I want to go up. Full 3D stuff like Starfox is fine, 2D stuff is even better, but 2-and-a-bit-D shooters just aren't much fun IMO because the graphics engine self-defeat the values behind a good shooter.Comment

Looks like it only went up yesterdayComment

A decent enough issue with more to read thatn the last one. Biffo is on form as usual, and even Gary Penn's article was pretty good.
What the hell is up with that nasty paper?

And what's up with the crappy covers? I don't care if it's the best issue in the world, if it's got a crappy cover this boy ain't buying it.
Is Farenheit the game with snow everywhere?Comment

Radiant Silvergun got a good review in Edge, not a mediocre one, I still have the issue.
I think that most shooters are designed for a niche market so it is hard for any magazine to review them, being fair to Edge they gave Gradius 5 a glowing review.Comment

If RS got an 8, then that is every bit as great an injustice as the Nanostray farce. RS is the greatest shooter ever made, and not just according to me, but according to many shooter fans.Originally posted by Mofoman
It therefore should get a 10! But people will complain it has no depth, blah blah. Not all games can be RPGs. A shooter is a shooter, if you don't like the genre don't play it, and certainly don't review it. Same crap that saw poor reviews for OutRun 2, one of the finest arcade games in many years. You have to review games based on what they are, not what you think they should be. (this is not the same as forgiving bad games)Comment

You kidding right mate ?.Originally posted by Mofoman
RGS got a bullsh8t review in EDGE , going by their cra8p review system at the time (A game must be revolutionary to get a 10) RSG should have been a 10 easy.
Instead we get a tiny review, on that a game that for a shooter was totally revelation From it weapon and bosses design, down to the fact that stages took like an hour to finish .
EDGE missed the boat on this one, just like Gunstar Heroes.
Still it had the misfortune to be on a SEGA machine or associated with SEGA. Which for EDGE means mark it down but at least one .
If the likes of Pro Evo can get a 9 in EDGE, then so can the likes of RSG.
It shouldn't matter the Genre Just if the game is any good or not .
That?s all that counts at the end of the dayComment

Magazines make mistakes. Websites make mistakes. People make mistakes.
I thought the top 100 reviews retrospective box with the RS review had already clarified this issue?Comment

It did, they admitted they were too harsh. (ditto with Gunstar Heroes)Comment
