I'd like to read an interview with a developer and see how exactly they choose to defend such a blatant rip-off. I lol'd at the part where she's tracking the wolves because I thought we were going to get a sequel to the infamous Tomb Raider trailer.
I gotta admit the name is silly. The cultural mish-mash is a bit odd and doesn't really contextualize place or space well, at least in the trailer. _________________

It's hard not to turn to snark as an initial reaction to a game so blatantly ripping off another game (though that's probably something we should be used to by now)
I could have sworn I posted something along the lines of "yeah maybe they've gone too far past the spiritual successor line into copycat town but if there was ever a game that deserved a few retreads it was SotC
I guess but they really coulda pushed themselves on the presentation
Like even a scifi hellscape would be something
People recall Colossus so fondly and I suppose defensively because most videogames are really really bad, heightened sense of the rarity of a title that isn't?
That EDGE Top 100 list is such a terrible, terrible list. Nothing interesting, badly implemented restrictions (no numerical sequels when something like RE1 is way different from RE4, while Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are almost interchangeable for the purposes of this list) and inclusion of games that have been barely out. How can you assess the greatness of a work that you probably played 2 days straight to jizz out an on-schedule review?
But I admit, I am personally at fault for having such a high affinity intellectually for the historical development of any discipline or area I take interest in, since video games seem to attract people on the complete opposite side of the spectrum: "everything old is shit".

I don't know about that... I think gamers are very apt to give too much uncritical credit to hoary old standards of the medium. Rather I think, as some other posters have said, the Edge list is intended to be different from a typical Best list which would otherwise have to include classics going back to the 70s and 80s, but falls flat because, well, it's still a bad list. _________________ Let's Play, starring me.

Devil's Third is already out in EU and Japan, but the US version was up in the air and then people yelled loudly when it disappeared from E3 this year and now Nintendo is putting it out like they were going to
so now NA is getting Devil's Third at retail. meanwhile, Fatal Frame is eShop only here
Devil's Third is still totally coming out! It even got an amazing American box art shown:
I hope that retina-ravaging shade of blue is actually going to be on the box and isn't just an error in the image _________________ Just another savage day on Planet Earth.
Is Devil's Third worth playing? I know it's by the dude who was behind Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, and those started sucking when he stopped doing them. _________________ Get Xenoblade Chronicles!

For someone who is such a perfectionist, it's shocking to see how bad Itagaki let Devil's Third Get. I'm not sure I'm even going to buy it as a novelty.
Its upsetting to me how good ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are and how BAD ninja gaiden 3 is. And now we get Devil's Third, which by all accounts looks piss poor. I don't even have a point to make it just gets me riled up to think about it.

The purpose of a (good, fun) top [x] list is to be provocative and unconventional, and this list fails to do that because it feels ridiculously short-sighted and contemporary instead of anything that would drive discussion.
Your film list analogy isn't far off from what top [x] books lists always look like. Either slavishly devoted to the western canon (the small part of it that's fairly appealing to modern sensibilities anyway), or so bleeding-edge contemporary as to be uselessly short-sighted, with nothing in-between.
Lists are an opportunity to surprise people and drive them to investigate things that they haven't heard of. Edge's list is "the 100 games I played for more than an hour last year"
So, the contentious idiosyncrasies of ABDN's manifesto list are exactly what make it valuable.
It should come as a surprise to no one that King of Dragon Pass and probably Crusader Kings 2 will veer dangerously close to the top of my lists

Agreeing with this but I'll still inevitably pick up Devil's Third when it hits the bargain bin out of curiosity _________________ Just another savage day on Planet Earth.
I'm guessing this is actually real, because it parses as sentences (and as a paragraph, even) but I can't really imagine how complicity requires narrativization but triumph doesn't. I guess we'll never know for sure.
Also no matter how many times anyone tries to explain it, I will never understand what people mean by affect. _________________ The text will not live forever. The cup are small
Setting traps and fighting big robot dinosaurs and, oh look it's got numbers because RPG elements or whatever? Still not really sure about this game but it's starting to look like there might be something there. At least Guerrilla Games aren't just making another FPS.
Also they just announced a release date for No Man's Sky at Paris Games Week: June, 2016. _________________
This one actually looks pretty interesting. It's got Michel Ancel and a developer called Wild Sheep behind it. In this one you play a shaman who can take control of any animal, you're on some sort of shaman-y quest, and the most dangerous enemies in the game are other humans. Open world, of course.
Between this, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Far Cry Primal there are a lot of open world hunter-gatherer type games coming up next year. _________________
I was gonna post the new David Cage opus but Dracko beat me to it (of course)
Instead I will ask once more when we're going to record an MST3K-style LP/commentary for one of these things _________________ Just another savage day on Planet Earth.
Who wants a new David Cage turd, now featuring by far the most turgid, artless, thoughtless, dishonest current sci-fi trope this side of YA dystopias?
Also the trailer is such an onslaught of cliches that I literally can't tell what specifically you're referring to _________________ Just another savage day on Planet Earth.
