YAYYYYY

I'm really impressed guys. Keep up the good work.

Have to agree with Ruben, I'm very impressed!

Suppose Ruben is the magazine master, im happy to have a good comment from him

Superb work

If this game deserves a 9/10 it must be the best of the series - but we'll see when I receive a copy and start reviewing it myself

Nice! When I read the magazine, I saw that some of the columns were not that done...

Same shit, good work all of you!

if your talking about my column (Too long a leash), it is finished, Smoothie just didn't do a good job of presenting it

T-Photon: Surely you don't expect Cyanide to allow a critical review (or preview)!? - it seems to me, Cyanide and Daily are so closely affliated that the review (although fine written) doesn't represent integrity or believability. I do, however, look forward to your review, which I'm sure will be critical and fair as always.

You aren't very active in this site, and that comment obviously proves it. CrueTrue has smashed Cyanide numerous times, and most of the members of the site, including the crew, has serious beef with Cyanide. Think before you speak, otherwise you sound like an idiot.

@T-Photon: Seriously, think before you write something like that. Not only could it actually be a good game (ehich is what all the beta testers have been saying), but CrueTrue does have some criticisms of it

I think it's fair that Mercury raises this point. We do work with Cyanide, but it's important for me to say that this review is done 'without' Cyanide. Yes, I had to ask if I was allowed to write it (because of the NDA), but that's it.

The review represents my honest opinion about the game.

Crommy: Did he say anything wrong? Yes, he's also a little sceptical, but can you blame him? It's not every day Cyanide makes this good a game

I'm really looking forward to the game this year, not only because of your review( even if it helped ), but something actually feels different this year, so hopefully it will be good

@Crommy: I'm not in doubt that this game could be very very good, but the question remains: does it raise the bar for PCM games or it is just another mediocre game?

expetations are high, but when I look back at PCM07's launch I can't just throw my scepticism away

Listen T-Photon, PCM08 is way better than PCM07. It will raise the bar and in my case make me forget PCM07 (which wasnt just mediocre, it almost made me not show interest in PCM08).

@Waghlon: You're not the only one coming forward with that conclusion, and since I've loved the series I would prefer to believe it

BUT I've only seen screens, heard rumors, watched a trailer, and listened to guys like u who've been working for cyanide, so I can't base my oppinion on that, sorry

I think we have slightly swayed of topic, and really this area should be for commenting on the Magazine not PCM 08, there are numerous pieces of news on PCM08 there is a thread. The hard work that my whole team has been showed by this section now i feel

No reason to become sad, you and your team have done an amazing job

It's never been my intention to offend your work.

I have to apologise there T-Photon. Sorry

Smoothie, the review is a part of the magazine, so technically they do comment the mag

CrueTrue: Thanks for being such a good sport about it – for what it’s worth you just moved up a place or to in my book. I have no real way of knowing whether you're saying your honest opinion or merely writing what Cyanide wants you to. I’m simply pointing out that you’re review isn’t as independent as one might would like it to be. As you well know the integrity of the reviewer must come before all else – otherwise the reader may find himself wondering what the purpose of the review is. And that’s a problem. I surely hope your purpose is of a fair nature.

Deadpool: No, I’m not very active on this site, as I have lots of doings elsewhere. Sure enough there has been some controversy between members of this community and Cyanide, but then again I’ve been on this scene for some years now and I can equally recall some instances where CrueTrue has been put in his place by Cyanide. If you even have to ask whether it’s okay or not to write a review, in my book that’s problematic as credibility concerns. Neither is it long ago since someone posted a link to some screenshots. The link was then later removed on request from Cyanide. Think before you speak, otherwise you sound like an idiot.

Lots of emphasis on what CT does Smoothie - stay on his good side

To CrueTrue's review: fantastic review, but did you found out if "one texture pr rider" are in or out?

After what Crue said last year about the PCM 07 Beta i'm taking this review with a huge grain of salt, not to critize Crues review, a fine one it is, i've just learned from bitter experience that with Cyanide, every cheer often comes with some level of disapointment

Lets get back on topic: The Magazine is really a nice thing: Columns, review, as well the young riders subject that I like.

Good job Smoothie!

(And about the review, if you just wait one week before buying PCM08, people will tell wheter the review was right or not.)
