Issue 81 - Official Feedback Thread

[SirClive]

No, I haven't got my copy yet, but I have just watched Darran's youtube walkthrough and it looks ace. Particularly loving the cassette style cover.

Can wait for the DOTT making making of!

I really like the look of that new "Future Classic" 2-page feature. Seems like a nice compromise between the folks who want to see last generation content start being featured in the mag (it's a nice looking piece on a classic last-generation game) and those who are dead set against it (it's only 2 pages).

Hopefully this becomes a regular feature, after all, these consoles are nearly a decade old. Then again, I'm certain that someone will whine and carry on about this two-page feature "ruining the magazine" sometime over the course of this thread.

I also really like the look of the cassette tape cover as well. I really thought the magazine was in a plastic sleeve until Darran showed off the artwork. Very slick.

And here's to issue #82. Yay finally!!! Thanks Darran.

Laser Squad on the front cover, that is all I need to see.

Damn it, for a split second I thought he said it was dedicated to me

Sweet mother of god! Laser Squad on Cover, Fantastic looking feature on the Gollop games? For moi? this could be:The best issue....EVER. Also, Loving way the likes of xbox,GBA,GC etc are being introduced into the magazine-Future Classic? Stroke of genius there. Also, (Darren) 'Myth-Much, Much better on C64 than Amstrad' Made me spit my tea out laughing hearing that quote.(Very true though).Got great feeling about this issue.

[SirClive]

Yeah, I am a fan of the Future Classics idea. Limiting it to 2 pages for the time being is a great way to introduce newer stuff without changing the whole direction of the mag.

mmm Laser Squad...

Was always very curious as to how the likes of GC, PS2,Xbox etc were going to be introduced to the magazine.Knew it was in safe hands, but have to say, the Future classic, really is a masterstroke idea.And, as you rightly say, limiting it to 2-pages at the start, great way to get ball rolling.Kudos to the RG team.

Nothing really in there for me this time; but looking forward to the Mario-issue!

Future Classics sounds promissing! I really like the idea. (But didn't Darran once said that the day the PS2 would appear on the cover of the mag, he would run away? )

What they both said, a great way to bring the slightly newer platforms in and i'll look forward to reading it. =-)

Cassette tape cover looks awesome! Great job!

I never look at these vids cos I dont wanna spoil the suprise -but I just have and had to chuckle at some of the comments:

"Whilst the mag got better towards the end, its still far too full of 80's games. Its so badly balanced. Most people today want 90's stuff, not ancient, virtually unplayable 80's games" - spot on that

But the comment which made me feel bad (for about 3 seconds) "Nice video, if i had a job and money i would get it"

I saw that one yesterday, and I almost replied to it saying the opposite.

[RichL]

Just arrived in the post - good stuff. Saw the youtube vid so know what to expect.

[Miketendo]

Looks like a great issue! Can't wait to get it
