Edge launches “comprehensive revitalisation” of both mag and site
Future’s relaunched the Edge brand with its “deepest makeover” ever, redesigning both magazine and website. You can take a look at the new site here, the object of which, according to the press release, is “to better serve the games development and publishing community along with high end gamers”. The relaunch issue of the magazine is its thickest ever at 212 pages, and will go on sale on Thursday June 9 with an unnamed E3 exclusive.

Seems rather…. narrow. Probably looks great on phones, not so much on a computer screen.

I stopped buying Edge after the first redesign in about 2006 or so. It turned a respectable mag into something trashy and just like everything else.

The header’s still too big, but it’s an improvement.

I stopped buying Edge after they gave Bladestorm 8/10.

There are still people out there not using adblockers? I wouldn’t be reading online zines if I had to look at all those wraps that are practically bigger than the layout itself.

I really don’t like this, on reflection. Once you get into the articles it gets silly, scroll down a little bit and all you’ve got a tiny column of text taking up a quarter of the screen and vast quantities of nothing/advert.
