I think we should use the Duty Calls ranking system instead😎 -
Yeah, those things were interesting but I don't think developers found much use for them in the end. Bit strange at the time that a 128bit console would have some gimmick like that and there just weren't much use for them other than a storage device.

Crazy Taxi was awesome! I also had the epic Shenmue, Resident Evil Code Veronica, Sonic Adventure, Hidden and Dangerous, Aerowings, Soul Calibur, House of the Dead 2 w/lightgun, UEFA Striker, Virtua Tennis, Metropolis Street Racer, Ferrari F355 Challenge, Tokyo Xtreme Racer plus more that I can't remember. I'm still searching for an original version of Half Life which was unreleased on the console despite some copies being produced. One of my friends spent a fortune on a copy from a former writer at a UK magazine who still had possession of the game when it was cancelled despite the full game being sent out to reviewers.

Pretty controversial move but Adam Rooney left Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen to join National League side Salford City signing a 3 year deal at £4,000 a week. Bloody ridiculous Salford spending that sort of money at that level. The credibility of a player is destroyed when they are wanting to depart European football and facing the likes of Celtic and Rangers to play against teams like Maidstone, Maidenhead and Harrogate Railway.

We got rid of tits and arses and replaced with with politics which is basically just a load of dicks and c**ts😎 -
I know! Feels kind of weird saying it but whilst I have to accept the changing world of consoles, I'll also admit I really miss the original concept of a console having games that you can put in and play. They're just becoming glorified PCs. I don't like how console games are so reliant on online connectivity these days. Some games only contain partial data so a download is mandatory, day one patches are rife and the more and more single player games that require an internet connection is growing worryingly. Also the amount of games that are being designed around an online service in the AAA industry is just horrible now. A game like God of War champions how gaming was and should be then you have others like Far Cry 5 which just capture everything wrong with the industry these days.

£30-50 is the going rate for a working second-hand one in the UK in good condition. That's about $65 top-end. If its refurbished with a guarantee and to be used just for gaming then it's a pretty sweet deal.

Next console generation focus should be on getting games running at 1080p/60fps bare minimum and I think that will be achievable. PS4 has done well to produce so many ambitious titles with hardware from 2012 but with the majority of games running around the 30fps mark and not even full 1080, it's definitely showing its age even if the games are current. I certainly wouldn't expect a huge jump in quality of games or scope especially from the AAA industry but hopefully from a performance perspective, games will be running to a higher and more consistent standard straight away.

The first gen systems of new generations are always horseshit versions of hardware too. The original Xbox One was visually and technically horrendous compared to the more compact and slightly more powerful Xbox One S released a couple of years later. I spent a hefty sum on a PS4 back in 2013 and all I got in the first few years was trash like Killzone Shadowfall, Knack and Watch Dogs. I could've waited a bit and then bought a Pro for a similar pricepoint when all the real quality games starting flowing like Horizon, Nier, God of War and Detroit. Xbox One X owners have already blown £450-odd on their soon to be replaced systems and will probably waste another £500 on the first gen iterations of the next generation in 18 or so months. My PC is the priority because of cheap games and raw power but if I do tap into the next gen I will certainly wait a couple of years and look to get a second iteration system which has improvements over the original console. I can see a lot of people grabbing Pro's and XB1s consoles later this year though because they'll likely be around the £200 mark and in terms of games; there will be plenty available from the last few years to choose from. Games are the same too - no point in spending £50 on a game that'll be £30 a month later.

The original version of The Culling was actually one of the first Battle Royale games out there and was actually very unique and original with its crafting on the fly and gameshow aesthetic. It was a pretty successful game in the end although didn't quite grab the mass market like other BR games went on to do. The devs ruined the game though with some awful updates and their diminishing relationship with the community. The game died and the devs deserved the failure. This sequel looks like it's been concocted in a week and is just a shameful rip-off of H1Z1 and PUBG. Not only was it a shock that it was being produced, the fact it is shit just adds the icing on the cake to scummy developers.

Liverpool in talks with Roma for a £62m deal to sign Allison Becker. What a tragic name for a goalkeeper to be named partly after a female and a ginger German tennis player. Next up they'll sign a striker called Tracey Hitler.

2020 is the expected launch of the new Xbox generation and that's coming from industry developers and even hinted by Microsoft themselves at E3. I'd expect Sony to be releasing their next gen then too. Sony not releasing the Pro Slim variant would suggest they financing exclusively for the upcoming gen too. Xbox One X owners must be pissed off that the already-convoluted gen where they've spent £450 on a new console will be replaced barely a couple of years later. The tech may not be obsolete but that's a pretty big kick in the teeth unless they brand the new console Xbox One X Two!

He does live up to his name even if people do try and cover it up by pronouncing it 'Blint'😎 Can't believe they're still clearing out Van Gaal's garabge!

The 2200 is probably Sony's final mass production shot of the PS4 - with no aesthetic or hardware changes, it's probably their last roll-out before the PS5. Basically means if you're going out and buying a new console from major retailers, you'll get a 2018 produced console rather than perhaps a unit that was made in 2017 although there being no distinguishable difference. Microsoft usually do things differently - the 360 slim alone had Core, Pro and Elite plus the Slim and Super Slim which all had some differences even with the hardware. Only thing Sony is really missing is a PS4 Pro Slim but it's probably not viable now with the next gen closing in.

PS4 - Lag Spikes with Good Internet?
J4MES OX4D replied to Dan94's topic in General Gaming Discussion
That's strange. Well at least it's not hardware related it seems. Could still be a problem with the router sticking. If you have a cable, you can see if the problem still occurs with a wired connection. If you also have any other devices that play online games it may be worth testing with those also. PS4 Pro certainly ain't a bad way to go though - I wish I traded in my old first gen PS4 and got a Pro at Christmas but I missed out some good trade-in and retail deals which sucked. -
PS4 - Lag Spikes with Good Internet?
J4MES OX4D replied to Dan94's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Does this happen only with online games or is it on single player games too? The fact the game freezes and then speeds to catch up could possibly be a hard drive read issue coming to think of it. Usually connection-related problems where games lag or freeze doesn't see this behaviour. My PS4 has been buggered for years because of a laser issue which causes the system to restart randomly and overheat so it could be something hardware related which is harder to diagnose and fix. -

Reset the router and see if that works. I had the same on PC a while back and simply turning off the router and back on again seemed to fix the issue. -
This guy is turning into a right twat. Turns up in Thailand in a PR stunt with his unproven submarine dildo giving it large in what was a very distressing situation and then gets all salty when his 'heroic' efforts are rebuffed and the professionals step in to save the day. Dunno if this is the post-Amber Heard effect but I'm losing respect for this prat https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/thai-cave-rescue-elon-musk-british-diver-vern-unsworth-twitter-pedo-a8448366.html

Must be a language problem - he's probably including the League Cup as a 'title'😀

Fuck France - wish I watched the Wimbledon Wheelchair finals instead.
