To say that Bloodborne is highly anticipated would be an understatement- not only is it the next game by From Software, the guys who brought us Dark Souls that went on to define a generation of gaming, but it is also a collaboration with Sony, and the last time that happened, we got Demon’s Souls, which in turn led to Dark Souls, which.. yeah.

So to any and all of you who are eagerly anticipating more news on the game, rest assured! EDGE has you covered. The magazine has confirmed that its August issue will have Bloodborne as the cover story, meaning we can finally learn more about it than what the debut trailer and the leaked news from the closed doors demonstration brought to us.

Bloodborne is under development at From Software, and is due to launch exclusively on the PlayStation 4 some time next year. Stay tuned for more coverage.

As if this ever needed more confirmation, Kojima has revealed in month’s Edge issue that he doesn’t want to limit himself by keeping his games exclusive to one platform.

Metal Gear Solid 4 was a PS3 exclusive, which got high scores and great commercial success, but they wouldn’t be satisfied with that because there’s a whole lot of people wanting to buy their games.

“It’s a tough question to answer. Obviously, I do like Sony, I respect them and I have a lot of things in common with their way of thinking,” he said.

“I think the future of gaming is with cloud technology and cloud gaming. I love Sony, I have a Sony camera, but I think if you’re going to enter the cloud generation then there will be a lot of different devices involved and a lot of different ways to interact with that game world.

“I don’t want to limit it to any one platform, but I’m not going to say I’m not going to participate in the events. This time [for the PlayStation Meeting], I kind of would have liked to participate, but I was here tending to Rising’s world tour.”

EDGE magazine has picked its list of top 50 developers for 2012, and it’s sure to be something that will generate a lot of discussion.

For starters, they have kept Mojang–the creators of Minecraft at second–followed by Nintendo and Platinum Games. Naughty Dog is at no. 5, which is a huge compliment for them since it’s coming from Edge and they have been placed above plenty of other developers.

There are a lot of omissions in this list like Square Enix and Capcom and I honestly wonder whether they deserved such a treatment, because they have been churning out a lot of good games even though their major franchises managed to disappoint.

Rockstar North and Bungie take the no. 6 and no. 7 spot respectively. Valve has been rated the number 1 studio followed by Mojang. This is the most surprising pick of them all.

Dead Island has been receiving fairly positive reviews from publications, but it has finally gotten its first negative review from Edge. And it’s not just a negative review, it’s a 3/10 review, opening their critique by criticizing “the texture, audio and animation glitches”, moving on to bash the unbalanced melee combat.

“Items respawn after a short window of time, lending infinite resources to a narrative that trades on desperate struggle,” the review carries on. ” On a micro level, it leads to the absurd. Characters cry about dehydration as energy drinks lie at their feet, while tricky supply runs sit at odds with the infinite quantity of canned food in the room next door.”

All is not black, though. The co-op component of the game, Edge says, is still enjoyable: “Let two melee-trained friends take the close-quarters brunt, however, and some semblance of tactics emerges. And neat matchmaking – the game automatically invites you to join strangers with similar level and story progress – means Dead Island rarely has to be endured alone.”

Dead Island’s “”world doesn’t have the charm to warrant forgiveness, and progress-halting bugs prevent it anyway,” says the review.

The review concluded with saying: “With regular AI freezes and vanishing items, a mistimed autosave can prove fatal. Ultimately it all invites the refashioning of another line from Romero. When there’s no more room in development hell, the dead losses will walk the Earth.”

A little harsh, don’t you think? Tell us what you think below.
