NEXT GEN CONSOLES

[insertwittynamehere]

Haha did they do all that on the remake? Did they rerecord the voice cast like MGS did for twin snakes?

Also, I'm interested in Black Flag, anybody played it? I've read good reviews but I've been put off AC because of III and how badly they messed up Desmond's story arc (yes I cared about that bit of the game, it was interesting)

It's my favourite Assassins Creed game, it was an amazing map to explore and there was some fantastic missions alongside the duller tailing missions. It continues the modern day story a bit and Juno is briefly mentioned but the focus is more on the animus in this game.

They re-recorded the voice for the Gamecube Resident Evil which this is a HD remake of.

That's the (only) version I played. It's a great game.

Been playing Fez again, as its free on PS plus this month for Vita. Its such a joy to play, one of the best games of the last few years.

I got it cause it was free and also cause I've heard lots about Phil Fish and seen the movie. It's a really cool little game, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I have so far.

Haven't played Fez yet, but I did try Road Not Taken. Its ok, but just ok, these plus games are getting a bit lackluster, need Knack or something to be added. At least Drive Club is added in 2 months time.

Might buy Steamworld Dig, anyone played that? Looks good

Is Drive Club still going straight onto psplus then?

I've ordered my PS Vita by the way everybody.

[luckysalt]

Yes Drive Club is, although it won't have EVERYTHING that is on the disc version, missing some cars defo, its a psplus version, they haven't yet made clear what the difference is.

Will be buying it.

PS4 sale started on PSN today, some prices are a absolute joke. Some are ok, might pick up MGS GZ for £12.

Also whilst im here EA have confirmed all 20 prem grounds in FIFA 15, saw the video. Awesome news.

I picked up GZ in the sale, it's good but I'd only recommend it if you're a massive Metal Gear fan. Otherwise you're not going to get a lot out of it. The main mission took me like an hour or two at most. There's some extra side missions unlocked after that but that's all really.

Completed Fez for the second time. Both the 32 and 64 cube endings. And the secret heart cubes too Just a brilliant game.

By the way, you will never solve a couple of the puzzles in Fez. I will admit to cheating on a couple of them. My advise is to just do as much as you possibly can, until you are completely stumped by every non-gold room on the map.

One of them was brute forced (its a combination of button presses) by the Fez community, and people are still unsure why the answer is what it is.

I can't figure out the first one with the tetris pieces.

Oh and I agree with mouseboy, only pick MGSV:GZ if you're a hardcore fan of the series.

In other news, my memory card for my vita arrived, so I've loaded up: Uncharted, Gravity Rush, wipeout, GTA Liberty City stories, Hotline Miami, Fez, Syphon Filter and Sonic racing. Plus I still have couple of the lego games and Sly cooper waiting. Psplus is awesome!

Which one? There are Tetris pieces everywhere in Fez.

There is a room that will give you a clue to their meaning.

[luckysalt]

Hotline Miami free on ps4 next week if you had ps3/vita version.

NICE

[luckysalt]

Well holy fuck.

Just announced for PS4.

INSTANT BUY!!!

[t8yman]

That looks fantastic, I was just watching some gameplay vids on youtube, lots of them are tagged P.T. (for playable teaser)

I have been thinking about getting a PS4 to go alongside the XONE this game would probably push me over the edge into buying one.

Loads of fanboy ranting going on over the Tomb Raider debacle, Microsoft have basically given square enix a shit ton of money to make the next TR game a XONE exclusive. People are not happy, and I think its a dick move too. Keep your first party games exclusive, but you don't shit on a huge community of gamers for dollar IMHO. I think its counter productive, and will make more people hate M$ than it will make people buy the console.

I hate the way the industry is moving, with microtransactions, exclusive DLC, preorder offers from different retailers, EA Access (don't get me started). Publishers are stripping parts of games out, just to fleece you in the future. Lots has been said on the issue by far more eloquent people on youtube. Boogie 2988 had some wise words to say on the tomb raider thing, and Jim Sterling nails the industry on just about every video he makes.

I'm a big fan of Jim Sterling. I know he winds a lot of people up, but I think 99% of the time he nails it.

Tomb Raider isn't exclusive to x box one, its just a timed exclusive just for the 'holiday period' will be released on PS4 after that.

It doesn't make sense for either party really, as PCGamer posted yesterday, really it just proves Tomb Raider isn't an AAA title anymore as AAA franchises don't need the advertising money of exclusivity deals, so its not really going to encourage anyone who wasn't already planning to get an Xbox One to get it and Square Enix are basically isolating a large number of potential customers from actually going out to buy it.

Tomb Raider isn't exclusive to x box one, its just a timed exclusive just for the 'holiday period' will be released on PS4 after that.

I thought they was still debating that? I'd imagine Microsoft might let it out on PC if they are paying big bucks for it but PS4?!

Apart from White Xbox One (but white version at the moment isn't coming with Kinect ), and pre order installs, dissapointed with Xbox One at Gamescon. Really thought Microsoft was going get it together, maybe a price cut

I'll likely stick with Xbox just because I've never really like Sony's controllers and never had a playstation but its hardly compelling. Think i am going bite for FIFA 15, just because I want to play at the Boleyn Ground (and apparently Bobby Moore in FUT legends! So will start playing that more)

^I was in the middle of posting it has an "exclusive duration" but i take it you realised that after editing your post.

yeah sorry, i read the article on eurogamer, deleted my post. having read it properly, i still dont fully believe it will go on ps4, his wording is so strange in his answers (fucking corporate bullshit speak w*nkers) he said he didnt buy the IP, and said he didnt know what they would do with TR after they make this game. I still think they have got exclusive rights to this game, but he is hedging his bets due to the fierce reaction the announcement received. Kaz Hirai was very quick to criticise the announcement, instead of saying "dont worry folks, its on PS4 in 2016" he just said something about them not wanting to get in the sales charts with this game.

I still think its a possibility it wont see the PS4.

Just imo but I take it as more he can't announce it when it's due to the terms of deal with Microsoft.

Yeah he talks alot about IP/Studio and Microsoft having not brought that. So maybe this specific Tomb Raider game and they can't release any other Tomb Raider games on other platfors for a certain duration but likely there is some sort of plan for a very similar Tomb Raider game after Christmas on PS4.

[viberunner]

Dishonored on Xbox Live is free to download from Saturday onwards.

Which is pretty good.

[windy_miller]

Dishonoured is great. If you have a gold account you should definitely get it.

[LondonTom]

How glorious does Project CARS look? I'm not a massive fan of racing games (apart from just messing around in fast cars ) so not given it to much attention, but if I don't get an Xbox One that would tempt me to upgrade my PC to take full advantage of those graphics!

Stunning! I really hope they don't have to tone it down at all from that to make it smooth and actually run.
