The latest EDGE review scores include SoulCalibur V, a surprising score for Resident Evil: Revelations, a 1/10, and more.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Resident Evil Revelations was marked down due to possible poor controls due to the restrictive single slide pad or some other control related issue. Game seems fine when I look at it. Ah well, can't wait to get it at the end of the month.

Danteh4477d ago (Edited 4477d ago )

lol? RE: Revelations a 6? From what I had heard this was going to be an amazing game which would go back to RE's roots...

now I don't know what to think although Edge's scores are usually quite strange, to say the least

Tanir4477d ago

totally gettin sc5, cant stop thinkin bout it :P

But as for RE: revalations, yeah i imagine it to be because of the lack of analog, thats why im waiting till the finished 3ds comes out and dont have to worry about a tacky add on or bad controls on games. im sure kingdom hearts dream drop distance will be hurt from this aswell as any shooter or action oriented game like monster hunter etc.

ronin4life4477d ago

This "finished" 3ds may never happen. Only if the slidepad takes off will Nintendo even consider splitting the user base, and that might be a couple of years from now.

jtenma4476d ago

lol you and me both Tanir.

Deja vu?

I said this before about the character customization system. I love it in this game!!!!!

CANT WAIT.

jc485734476d ago

I bet Capcom already has a Vita version. Yea, they cancelled it, but I think is BS.

Darkfocus4476d ago

shoulda got one on boxing day or black friday I got one for $80 so I expect it'll pretty much trade in around the same value when they announce news of a new model.

And I love Corpse Party; creepy story, wonderful soundtrack.

6 / 10 shouldn't be a problem.

It's the same score they give Yakuza 3 too.

Acquiescence4477d ago

Looking good for SoulCalibur V. Thinking I may have to buy that.

MWH4477d ago (Edited 4477d ago )

7 for Trine 2? i say at least 8, the game is fantastic! what a pitty some people can't simply enjoy their games.

i'm getting Soul Calibur V.

kingdavid4477d ago

Why would you say they didnt enjoy it with a 7/10 rating?

MWH4477d ago

because it's a 7/10 rating, which's a score you don't give to a game you fairly enjoyed.

MWH4477d ago

"lol"? is that what it's about? well i'm glad you're entertained but lol @ yourself dear..

i thought you were starting an objective exchange of opinions but now i'm sure you can't be part of a decent discussion.

but perhaps you're 14, then what do i know?

Biggest4477d ago

There is no decent discussion to be had with a person that thinks 7/10 means "didn't enjoy" in the context of entertainment media. Stop worrying about age and pay more attention to what 7/10 means.

ShoryukenII4476d ago

That is a 7/10.

We're talking about video games here not movies. A 70% movie would be great but that isn't the case for games. It is called the 7-9 scale (I think that's right) for a reason. A 7 is not a good rating and I don't believe that Trine deserves that. Although it is the reviewers opinion, that doesn't give the reviewer the right to give any game a bad review. What if someone tried to give Metal Gear Solid 4 a 0%? I know that giving Trine a 7/10 is not exactly like that but it is still an average review.

Hozi4476d ago (Edited 4476d ago )

If I'm not mistaken, a 7/10 means "mediocre"...Trine 1 for me was at least a 9 or "Great"

NOTE: Every site seems to have a diff. grading scale, so a 7 to you may not mean the same to me.

Redempteur4477d ago

it's edge ..don't think too hard about it ..

Disccordia4477d ago

It only scored one lower than the score you think it deserves ffs it's not like you and the reviewer had a radical difference of opinion! What a pity some people can't simply read past a review score.

gigreen4476d ago

7 is a great score for a game that is good, but not that special.

Remember, Edge's review system is not inflated like most other magazines.

Robotronfiend4476d ago

I would say it was alright. Slightly better than average, but far too easy. Visually it was rather pretty, and the puzzles were entertaining. But again it was FAR too easy. This doesn't change my enjoyment of it, but you can actually get all achievements or trophies without even finishing the game.

If I used a school grading system i'd say a C (70 - average). If it was a full, honest 1-10 rating... maybe a 5.5 or 6. There was a lot of style but very little substance or challenge.

Perjoss4477d ago

Edge is one of the few review sites / mags that do not rate games on a scale of 7 to 10, but instead the full range of 1 to 10, the way it should be. I'm not saying I agree with their review scores, just the fact they are not afraid to use all the numbers between 1 and 10.

ShoryukenII4476d ago

But I think that is it better if they do because when someone sees a 7/10, they'll compare it to a 7/10 from another site. That's what I did and if I didn't know any better, I'd assume that Trine isn't much good (if I only read Edge). I think that they should use a letter grading system if they want to use everything.

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics80d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken80d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

FinalFantasyFanatic80d ago

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken80d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8880d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS80d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos80d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS79d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam80d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg80d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

Soulcalibur 5 will be delisted next week on PS3 and Xbox 360

Soulcalibur official Twitter: "Valiant Warriors - Soul Calibur V is taking its final curtain call on the stage of history and will be sunset on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 19, 2023. The base game and all associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you for your continued support."

-Mika-309d ago

This is why guest characters shouldn't be on the base roster. Im sure Ezio and the whole Assassin's Creed stuff license expired and that is why it is being removed. The same thing is probably going to happen to Soul Calibur 6 in 10 years.

Terry_B308d ago

I doubt a lot of people still played the worst SC game over 10 years after its release on dead consoles.

blackblades308d ago

Right whoever wanted the game would've had it by now. Also physical is usually the better option

gold_drake309d ago

damn.

alot of games have been delisted recently.

Nyxus309d ago

Meanwhile several big games are going digital only. Good omen for the future...

MadLad308d ago

I've been mainly gaming on PC for 12 years now. I don't think there was ever a game that was actually taken away from me.
Even the multiplayer-focused games, with their servers typically being taken down, you can still host your own.

Not sure why People are so against digital. You still need online infrastructure just to update your games or to patch them. You're stuck to online/digital one way or another.

Nyxus308d ago

Most games play just fine without an internet connection. There are also other reason aside from preservation, digital games are often more expensive (at least the one I'm buying) than what you can find through deals in stores. But most of all I just like to be able to actually own the games as physical objects, being able to lend them out etc. And be assured that I can still play them in the future. Sure you can probably emulate them, but I prefer to play on console and I'd rather play an actual copy than an emulation anyway.

I'm not against digital in itself, I just don't want to be forced to go digital because the physical option is taken away. Just give people the option to either get it physically or digitally, that way everyone is happy and it's also the best way to preserve games for the future.

CrimsonWing69308d ago

Make your peace with it. It’s the direction the industry is going in.

XiNatsuDragnel308d ago

Well industry is pretty much dead in that case.

lucian229309d ago

Can we please get soul cal 7 a year after tekken 8?

darthv72309d ago

Good thing I have both on disc.

It's Time For Resident Evil's Most Unique Mode to Make a Comeback

With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.

This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.

I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
