| Still don't see why it would be pointless when you have a writing team you can thoroughly trust & even when all you want are exclusives surely you wouldn't all of them? So this is where you would find the magazine useful. |

| No as I would have my OPM for instance telling me about all the multi format games. So let's say OXM had a 100 pages, I'm only going to use the 10 pages where they talk about Gears of Halo Motorsport 5 that I wouldn't buy it for so little content.
But honestly I would more likely buy edge, game's master which covers everything and I use all the info and get my money's worth. |

| I'm with Mas on this. I would love to be reading a magazine that had Kittsy, Matthew, and Greener writing for it. Even were it multiformat, I'd be picking that up. But it's sodding Microsoft.  Hopefully MS fans will appreciate their writing and humour as much as I did, back in the day. |

| I'd still take the opinions of the NGamer crew over most of those in Edge/gamesmaster/OPM. |

| If I was picking up either OXM or OPM it'd be the former. Like everyone has said it's a bunch of writers I know I like and can trust. I've always found the OPM crew to be less fun/interesting. Playstations exclusives haven't been anything to brag about so far this gen so I'd simply get OXM and use the internet for exclusives. Regardless the last ONM showed me as much as I love mags, I'm shit at actually getting around to reading them, so nothing can tempt me |

| True but I'm saying that I wouldn't need or want all the content in OXM just a small percentage and that I wouldn't pay £5 for that amount. So far this gen I agree kinda but ONE not been that much better either but going forward we know of way more PS4 exclusives coming then ONE exclusives that OPM will have more stuff for me to read, but like I said I would buy neither though as I'm a multi format gamer, I would go for one of the multi format magazines & that's unlikely due to the internet. - Game Awards 2014 Stuff Went Down:

| I don't see any issues with OXM being an Xbox magazine if you had a PS4 -- most the games covered will be multiplatform titles anyway. And if the mag offers better coverage of that than the closest PlayStation mag then it's a no brainer. - ZeroJones wrote:
- Popping up to say that James Bowden is a great chap. He is one of the admins for StreetPass Manchester, so I've met him a few times, and he did a bit of writing for NGamer's final hours. Lovely guy with good opinions and a nice writing style.
 This. He's a great guy and he does excellent work. Really happy that he's turned StreetPass and the Nintendo community in this country into a success. |

| But who to say it gives better coverage also eBay & the internet has gone mad as the first 20th anniversary PS4 has sold on eBay for $15,100 in a on day auction starting at $0.99.
I'm still not sure if there 100% sold out though as only sites taking preorders were Sony USA & CA nothing on the EU yet to my knowledge but I do know when you got to end of the transaction you could ship it anywhere which leaves me to believe it for everyone. |

| But your all ready discounting the team at OPM or any publication though because of who the OXM team is. |

| I'm with Jas: default position is that the OXM team are the best games journalists in the business, unless definitive proof can be provided to the contrary. Tempted to make that a Law of GNamer, actually. All Hail Matthew Castle! |

| Well there is no proof as it's all opinions of who you agree with and like, from what I've heard from TRP I do like but not enough to spend £5 on a magazine covering a console I don't own or plan to own in till Halo 5 or Scalebound is on it. |

| Sorry for the double post, but it's confirmed. CVG to die, and be swept into a multimedia portal. I bought that Yoshi-featuring issue, God damn it. |

| Platinum News
In a recent interview with 4Gamer, Yasuke Hashimoto, the director of Bayonetta 2, confirmed that Platinum games is already working on a brand new title. Furthermore, Hashimoto mentioned that it is very possible that a new project begins on something Bayonetta related in 2015. Unfortunately, it is not known whether any of these games will be coming to the Wii U in any form. Platinum’s currently announced project, Scalebound, is an Xbox One exclusive, and its new title in development is rumored to be a PS4 exclusive. Perhaps this new Bayonetta project will continue to franchise as a Nintendo exclusive?
Hashimoto did mention that both these projects, the one already in development and the possible Bayonetta project, are very early in their development phase. He mentioned that announcements for these titles would only come much later on.
You would think anything Bayo will stay on Nintendo and my 2015 predication of a Platinum games game on PS4 seems rather solid. |

| To follow up with my last story, it seems that the exclusive platinum PS4 game will be Metal Gear Rising 2.  A little update on this, someone was asked about this and they replied something like not got a clue what your on about the number must of been part of a countdown or something at the event at which it was shown. Seems a little iffy as why use that font of all fonts also for a number two as well especially seeing there's been rumours of a PS4 exclusive platinum made game for ages, long with Konami's friendship with Sony. |

| Luigi's Mansion 2-themed arcade game. Will probably never see the light of day (or torches) over here, but I still thought it was quite interesting. |
