J4MES OX4D

It appears to be 4 teams of 3 players and there's one mode available right now where you capture points, earn money and then have to deposit it at cashout stations. I haven't done much research on it so I dunno what else is on offer but it's very much like The Culling meets Titanfall and Overwatch.

Just played a couple of matches and it seems pretty good fun especially if you have a team. Will take a bit of time to learn the ins and outs plus the combat needs a bit of polishing but other than that, it seems a decent experience. Looks fantastic too and it ran flawelessly on Epic settings. e e

Destruction in the first clip looks nuts

Most anticipated shooter of the year coming very soon - free to play and looks very interesting with a strong focus on movement mechanics and destruction. Inspired heavily by Titanfall, Mirrors Edge, Battlefield and Overwatch. Be very interested to give this a shot

Looks really decent and good pool of compatible games right off the bat. I'm holding back though and gonna sit on the fence to see what the adoption rate is in the next couple of years from developers. Certainly not been enough uptake with the Index and Quest 2 so you feel this could be the final crack from the industry as to whether VR is a viable proposition long-term.

Quarry, Terminal, Afghan, Highrise are not (yet) 6v6 maps available in this MW2. There's been detailed interviews with Raven where they talk about how they created the Warzone map and also how Infinity Ward wanted to utilise portions of it to generate 'expansive' content for their part of the product so players can be 'familiar' with all the content on the table. The old rehashed maps that appear in Al Mazrah were just lifted from the OG MW2 so I can't really give much credit to either developer here regardless. IW have also talked about some of the maps they created including a couple from real world locations they visited in person (and then replicated without legal permission) and they don't really mention any of the Warzone ones. The maps they supposedly created are of a pretty strong and distinct visual quality too. Pity there aren't more but the ones lifted from Al Mazrah share an asset library and despite being a higher render as standalone, they aren't as polished by design as IW's very own ones.

Beyond: Two Souls

And as I said, most of those maps are siphoned off the Warzone one by a completely different developer. 4v4 is just 6v6 with different rules that I could've concocted in a private match ruleset from day one and not many core MP players care about raids and other tacked-on crap lifted from other titles which is detracting away from the heart of the game. So what if they've paywalled some extra features - doesn't change the core content and shouldn't be an excuse to spread it thinner especially when most of it isn't even made by Infinity Ward themselves.

Especially as it’s the only paid portion of the game.

I love how Mark was bragging before the game how solid their defence was🤣

Yep, all they’ve done is take away content potential and put it into other modes spreading the game thin. You would’ve thought with so many resources, they could make each potion absolutely laden with content and post-launch support. No new 6v6 maps in 5 months so what’s the excuse there and half the non-6v6 MP content is just siphoned off the Warzone map which was made by a developer completely unrelated to the MP aspect anyway. Vanguard had 20 more maps this time last year so there’s no consistency with the content being delivered across the franchise. IW have been largely anonymous since launch and it’s not like they work on Warzone or DMZ either so there’s no excuse for such a poor showing. It’s caused the majority of players to leave the entire game and Activision to radically change their 2023 approach so clearly it’s had a major impact on what should’ve been a very safe two years of COD. Fortnite already has its 2025 content compiled and these clowns don’t even know what to release in 6 months🤣

Picked this up again today, this time on PC along with Beyond Two Souls which I didn't get round to playing. Although I know the story of Heavy Rain, I'm looking forward to giving it another go after a good 13 years. Along with The Walking Dead game, I think it will go down in history as a very important and unique game of its time.

Man Utd are well and truly back! Masterclass from Erik Almost-Ten Nil Hag

Personally, I'm not bothered about the era or whether the new 'game' is just that or an expansion - I just want a product that is made to the best potential possible from the most lucrative franchise in existence with 3000+ developers at their disposal. Really isn't asking too much especially when they are demanding £60-110 for the privilege once again. Sadly, this likely wont be the case based on these highly credible early reports - developers being bounced around pillar to post, timescales being completely unreasonable/unrealistic and Activision executives still toying with how to release the product for the best payoff and to hell with the community or credibility. They are only in this position because of their non-existent post-launch support on MW2 which was a perfectly fine game under the hood despite some questionable design choices. COD 2023 should have been an absolute cert that built upon the foundation its predecessor but instead, it's nothing more than a shareholder pocket filler and a second crack and not making the same mistakes after the population has nosedived. I can see SHG being thrown under the bus and being made scapegoats once again. They are the weakest developer as it is, so its one hell of a responsibility for them to concoct a full game that lives up to the name out of what was originally a tacked-on expansion. Either way, the community are going to be getting a very inferior product or one that's not been developed in the correct way. Activision really take us for granted but they are really beginning to make a mug out of the community if they think they can pass this shitshow off for full whack. With 3 mainline developers and another 8 side studios on their books, it's just insane how they are in such a messy position. Maybe Sledgehammer can salvage something especially on the launch content front but I can see this 'spin-off' really struggling and franchise fatigue will really set in especially if MW3 is expected to be released the following year. If they had a clear forwarding strategy for each game post-launch, they wouldn't be in this mess.

We're basically gonna be paying full price for an expansion dressed up as a full game. If MW2 performed well then it would've been an expansion but as it's not doing so hot, they have to brand it a full game because they know it would be a hard sell otherwise. I don't think people are going to swallow it though and it all looks a bit desperate. On the plus side we may get some original content but certainly not worth paying a premium for, especially if it's produced rushed and in an inferior way. They should've just taken the hit and skipped this year. It's their own fault really and all these bad decisions will just end up impacting future mainline games on top.

I haven't got round to either of the Bright Memory games yet but they are an impressive achievement considering both were made by just one person. Definitely seem very polished titles and look amazing technically.

Shameful display from Spurs really. That was Sheffield United's second string on top! Sanchez is a woeful player and Perisic is finished. You knew by the hour mark that Utd were going to win because Spurs offered nothing throughout and there was no sign of them improving. Just like the Middlesbrough game the other year, it was always going to end with such a predictable outcome. With so many weaker sides left in the tournament, this was a real opportunity for Spurs too.

Unfortunately the BDO which Walton, Adams, Hankey and OG Barneveld were part of is the equivalent of non-league football. The organisation (which I believe is now disbanded) was relentlessly stuck in the 1970's and failed to adapt to growth opportunities in the decades that preceded it. Tournaments were limited to one major a year and earning potential was non-existent unless you were top class. Most darts players had day jobs such as plumbers, builders and being postmen. The Lakeside was a iconic venue but one annual tournament was never going to help bolster the sport. The PDC came in and offered players the chance of competing in several highly established tournaments each year, full time leagues and other competitions where prize money was significant. It allowed players like Mervyn King to go full time despite not being exceptional and he was making more than a in one week with them than what he would've got winning the World Title with the BDO. The PDC has also earned major sponsorship's and TV rights as well as forming global bodies. There's World Cup, European Championships and even Women's darts has florished massively plus regular Premier League darts and other smaller events. There's also only been one televised 9 darter with the BDO whereas the quality the PDC offers is insane in comparison and this is what happens when you grow the sport and allow its competitors to do it for a living. I will never understand why the BDO kept darts in the stone age - a lack of foresight and ambition from the ageing and clueless board I bet but the PDC really delivered the game into a premium setting.
