Edge reviewing Bleeding Edge.

Ow.

 

[RedOnePunch]

I like the cover

 

[nelsonroyale]

I think the Ascent looks cool, congratulations to the devs for getting this kind of promotion. Bit disappointed that even Edge can't seem to get a scoop on a bigger next gen story though. Anyway, interested to hear about the RPG elements of the game!

 

[Deleted member 10737]

that's a great cover.

 

[DoradoWinston]

nice cover, excited to play Ascent when it comes out

 

[sheaaaa]

Do you know the scores?

 

[SJRB]

Damn that's an awesome cover.

 

[VeePs]

Cover looks dope.

 

[HellofaMouse]

man i love edge covers

 

[MaLDo]

The ascent looks a lot like Shiny's Messiah. Not only the mood but the characters too.

 

[christocolus]

Nice cover. Looking forward to Ascent.

 

[pswii60]

Ah really looking forward to reading more about Maquette, got my eye on that one. The Ascent too.

 

[kurahador]

Prediction: FF7R - 6/10, Gears Tactics - 5/10, XCOM Chimera - 7/10, RE3 - 6/10

 

[KastuśKalinoŭski]

Nice cover.

 

[GUNDAM STARDUST]

I hope Ascent catches me more than Ruiner.

 

[Deleted member 35653]

The cover reminds me of a more polished version of Dorohedoro's architecture, very nice indeed.

That sir is a cut

 

[StraySheep]

I resubbed right at the start of corona and still haven't gotten an issue yet. Just got an email that said they are resuming delivery to Europe and that the missed issues are being held onto to be sent later. I guess thankfully Edge is not the place I go to for hot gaming news.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

I mean... sure, it is indeed a nextgen game...

 

[Magic Mushroom]

The numbers, Mason.

The Ascent is (almost) a launch game isn't it? Why waste time of games that won't be out for ages.

 

[christocolus]

Ori, Gears Tactics and BE. :)

 

[bixente]

In Other Waters is a pretty cool indie.

 

[TigerBrownie]

So the next-gen tease was for The Ascent?


Can't say I'm not a bit disappointed.
It is a really cool looking cover though.

 

[TheStebe]

Reminds me of that rammstein live dvd i got

As far as I know it is a launch game, yea.

 

[Deleted member 179]

Idk if that was worth the whole 'next generation arises' thing but The Ascent looks dope so I'm in

 

[johancruijff]

cover is dope 🤷‍♂️

"Hype"

 

[OnanieBomb]

Cool cover for an interesting looking game.

 

[klauskpm]

I expected something completely different, but the cover is great and I'm hyped for the game.

 

[xir]

This issue has the new EIC right? Curious how it is. Exciting

 

[Nozem]

I thought The Ascent was the most interesting game from the Xbox event.

 

[Hype-Lord]

Wow they really overhyped this whole "nextgen rirses" thing, but the cover looks cool

The cross generation rises.

 

[Gully Bully]

The Ascent was definitely the best showing at that Xbox event, especially better than the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla showing, and this Edge cover shows that the editors at Edge are real gamers.

 

[Deleted member 51691]

The Ascent is getting a lot of hype in the press it seems

 

[shaneo632]

The red-on-red of the letter E bothers me.

 

[Firefly]

When is this issue releasing?

 

[VeePs]

The cross generation rises.

Click to shrink...

It's not cross gen.

edit: it is! Lol

 

[ElephantShell]

It's not cross gen.

Click to shrink...

Xbox website says it's coming to Xbox One. Did they mention it wasn't before? I don't remember.

 

[bsigg]

It's not cross gen.

Click to shrink...

It is, just Optimized for Series X.

The Ascent: Available with Xbox Game Pass

Play The Ascent with Game Pass. A solo and co-op action-shooter RPG.

[Toriko]

Next gen rises is a cross gen game. Yeah no. Pretty disappointing.

 

[Noctis Winters]

Very interested to read their FFVII and Resi 3 reviews.
Side note : the chatter around R3make seemed to die a lot quicker than that surrounding R2. At least from my perspective.

 

[Dancrane212]

Echoing the cover sentiments, it's real nice.

Apologies! I was completely wrong lol

 

[iHeartGameDev]

Man I'm loving everything I'm seeing about this game -- from the gameplay to the art!

 

[Deleted member 64241]

That's a nice cover art.

 

[Deleted member 11214]

Cool to see what the cover story is (I guess? A little disappointing, actually.) but where are the scores?
