  1. I'm probably going to pick it up this week. Watched a lot of reviews and read a lot of feedback and I'm convinced this is definitely a generation-defining game. No loot boxes or stifled progression mechanics which is great and how games should be. My only concern is the camera along with the narrow FOV but hopefully that will just add to the immersion and wont be too clunky or headache-inducing.
  2. Easiest way to record PS3 gameplay is to use an old JVC camcorder or get someone to record the screen with their Nokia phone. If those fail, a capture card is the only other option.
  3. It's only useful for downloading the up to date drivers. The feature is supposed to optimise your games for you but it can be staggeringly wrong at times choosing substantially reduced settings to what your GPU can handle so people rely on it can get an inferior experience than if they just tweaked the settings themselves. With my old 770 on The Division; it detected everything at low settings with everything else turned off yet I ran the game flawlessly at 60fps at Very High with everything else turned on and still had VRAM to spare. I'd launch through Steam or any other launcher than rely on that. Just use it for downloading the latest drivers.
  4. Almost as beautiful as the real thing
  5. Before the start of the season, I bet £10 with my mate that Sunderland would get out of the Championship at the first time of asking. They theoretically did so I shall be looking to cash in on that technicality when I see him next
  6. Looks promising from the creators of X-Com
  7. Yeah, I think the legendary Eight Thoughts has well and truly quashed that one and I'm a bit surprised CharlieIntel posted about it as a sole rumour from a nobody source. I do believe the game wont have a campaign as that rumour seems far more credible but the multiplayer one was likely created off the back of that by the attention seeker fantasist to cause more concern and give himself some momentary heightened importance. Now he just looks a prick.
  8. I had the original which was a decent racer but that was sadly over-hyped and misleading by Ubisoft. It did have some pretty good support post-release especially with the Wild Run upgrade. Despite the huge competition in the racing genre, we have the sequel coming out this year and it looks impressive although a bit wonky in places. Not sure about the vehicle switching but like the first; the scale is supposedly massive and it could offer plenty to do with huge variety. I'll keep my eyes on this although I'm not expecting it to topple the likes of Forza.
  9. Coming this year to PS4, XB1 and PC https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shenmue-1-and-2-being-released-on-ps4-xbox-one-and/1100-6458239/
  10. PC only it seems. There's not much info about the game either from what I can see especially regarding its future development plans.
  11. I bought FIFA 18 cheap in January and played about 5 games then uninstalled it! It's so arcadey now and scoring is just so easy - even on the hardest difficulty setting you can split the defences so easily with a through ball and score every time. You can do the same online but it makes the scripting even more prominent. Even the FIFA screamers have moved on to Fortnite it seems. EA seem to take one step forwards one year and then two back the next.
  12. RIP. Wasn't a fan of his music - some of it hurt my brain to listen to but it's sad to see such a popular global artist die so young at only 28. No cause of death yet but it seems he did suffer alcohol-related health problems in recent times.
  13. Ah the self-proclaimed 'greatest minds in football'. He couldn't get get the Oxford or Grimsby jobs so I'd laugh if he gets the Arsehole one!
  14. Apparently it's like LawBreakers and Overwatch and by the sounds of it, if these rumours are to be believed; it is destined to be a total fuck up from top to bottom https://charlieintel.com/2018/04/19/rumor-new-call-of-duty-black-ops-4-leaks-indicates-mp-is-similar-to-overwatch/ I've never seen such concern with a Treyarch game or any other title in the franchise like this. It seems like an absolute calamity and with Activision already cancelling the campaign, it sounds like the multiplayer should get the chop too. At this rate it'll be BO4 with only zombies and an unfinished Battle Royale mode! These are only rumours though but the way the media have pounced on them suggests there is some merit and just knowing the Activision canned the story because it was basically shit suggests there is development hell going on behind the scenes.
  15. Yep, it's unclear how far into development the campaign had been but Activision weren't impressed it seems. Doesn't ooze much confidence in Treyarch for the rest of the game either. If Raven don't finish Battle Royale before release and it cannot support 100 players; the whole package will be a joke at this rate. Activision have paid the price for their lack of innovation over the years and now they are desperately chasing the trends. They should just accept that their brand is getting destroyed by an early access free to play game and instead of hopping on the bandwagon; maybe innovate or rejuvenate even if it's getting too late.
  16. So sad and only 62! What a TV legend. ''Next time you're in the supermarket and you hear the beep; think of the fun you could be having on Supermarket Sweep''
  17. Only 1500 players currently playing right now which is just 15 matches globally. A Battle Royale game really needs 150,000 players on at worst to remain sustainable. This game wont be DOA; it'll be dead after a week at this rate.
  18. Yep! I've read that it wasn't like Treyarch just neglected the campaign to prioritise the multiplayer and zombies - Activision actually cancelled it because it was 'too out there' and 'outlandish'. After Black Ops 3's ludicrous campaign, I can kinda believe it. According to the latest update; the Raven's Battle Royale mode might not even be ready for launch and they aren't even sure if it'll support 100 players. What an absolute fiasco this could turn out to be. In the past 30 days we've gone from Modern Warfare 2 remastered without multiplayer to Black Ops 4 without a campaign!
  19. Even though the campaigns are fairly short and not everyone plays them; they remain an integral part of the experience and give the game its identity. If this is true and they remove it in place of a Battle Royale mode (how fucking original) then that would probably be the end of the franchise for me. What's worse is that Raven Software are doing the BR portion apparently and they are god awful developers who somehow even manged to ruin Modern Warfare Remastered and then went into hiding. I can actually see Call of Duty becoming a card game in 3 years time the way the industry is going.
  20. It's just a cash-grab attempt with minimal risk - plaster together a game based on the current top genre and hope you get just a tiny slice of the market. If it fails, they've only lost a small amount of money and it's taken them no more than half a year to test the water. Saves them spending 2 more years on a game that may be DOA and when Battle Royale has fizzled out. The problem they had with LawBreakers was 4 years of development making a game in a saturated genre that cost a fortune that in the end nobody wanted to play. They've done the exact opposite with this one at the expense of ethics, credibility and quality. It may make more than LawBreakers did even being free and cost a lot less money to produce but it's not done the studio any credit. Boss Key Studios could've easily tried to make a decent single player game or look for a gap in the market but instead, once again they are trying to chase easy money in genre that is dominated by rivals even more prominent than Overwatch.
  21. Man City 2-3 Man Utd> Man Utd 0-1 WBA WTF. Man City champions then!
