The Edge page says that content from that magazine was published in Next Generation from 1996 to 2002, but the Next Generation page says that the mag was published from January 1995 till January 2002. So should the Edge page be corrected to read 1995, or did Next Gen only share Edge content for some of its life? -- Nick R 19:01, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi there. When I first read through this article, it was well-written, but seemed obviously very pro-NextGen. Personally, I don't have any particular preference. I made a few changes and also tried to improve the organization and overall coherence. For example, I moved the point about the lack of cheat codes, walkthroughs, etc. down with the other differences. I took out the sentence about the ranking systems of other magazines as it was clearly there solely to illustrate the weakness of such a system. I don't mind if someone puts it back in, so long as the pros and cons of both ranking systems are addressed (and there are for both), however, I personally decided to omit them since I think they're obvious enough for the reader to make up his or her own mind about. I softened the statement about constructive criticism, because this is subjective. Some may think an article is more supportive than critical, or more critical than constructive. I left it as an intention, which is how I think it should be. Finally, I took out the last sentence, because, frankly, it didn't make much sense to me. What does one mean by the "gaming industry" producing a magazine? It sounds like some kind of collective effort which surely isn't the case. Furthermore, the "desire" and "freshness" of NextGen is also obviously not NPOV. If a solid tie-in between Escapist magazine and NextGen is made, I'm all for it being put back in. Cheers. -- Hinotori 13:28, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be a dismabiguation page to the current gen (colloquaially known as next gen, still) of gaming> Xbox 360, Wii and PS3?
