''Next Generation'' (also known as ''NextGen'') was a video game magazine that was made by Imagine Media publishing company (now Future Network USA). It was affiliated to and shared editorial with the UK's ''Edge'' magazine. ''Next Generation'' ran from January 1995 until January 2002. It was published by Jonathan Simpson-Bint and edited by Neil West. Other editors included Chris Charla, Tom Russo, and Blake Fischer. Unlike its competitors ''GamePro'' and ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'', ''Next Generation'' was directed towards a different readership by focusing on the industry itself rather than individual games. ==Publication history== ''Next Generation'' was first published prior to the North American launch of the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation, and much of the early content was in anticipation of those systems. In September 1999, ''Next Generation'' was redesigned, its cover name shortened to simply ''NextGen''. This would start what was known as "Lifecycle 2" of the magazine. A year later, in September 2000, the magazine's width was increased from its standard 8 inches to 9 inches, however this wider format lasted less than a year. Subscribers of ''Next-Gen Magazine'' received issues of ''PlayStation Magazine'' when the magazine's life-cycle was terminated. The brand was resurrected in 2005 by Future Publishing USA as an industry-led website, Next-Gen.biz. It carries much the same articles and editorial as the print magazine, and in fact reprints many articles from ''Edge'', the UK-based sister magazine to Next-Gen. In July 2008, Next-Gen.biz was rebranded as Edge-Online.com.〔(Future to rebrand Next Gen website as Edge // News // GamesIndustry.biz )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Next Generation (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
