NEXT GEN CONSOLES

[t8yman]

Doesn't work in firefox though. I was watching the Uncharted video thinking, "this doesn't look anything special". Then I tried it in IE, and it looked so much better.

it is chrome only afaik, so your eyes must have been playing tricks on you

Nope, definitely works in IE as well. There are "720p60" and "1080p60" options that appear in IE, that do not appear in Firefox.

pre ordered or ordered Ghosts?

I'm going to do what i have done since MW3 and wait on them to drop in price.

[t8yman]

I reckon it might be pretty good this time round, first one with a 2 year dev cycle iirc?

Might give it a go, but master chief is the biggest grin on my horizon, followed by Far Cry 4.

[Uncle Liam]

After thirteen years, I finally completed the ambulance missions on GTA game

Preordered, Tesco selling it £42 but theres a £5 off code knocking around and then I used some clubcard vouchers to knock it down further.

World at War was the last COD with a single player campaign worth firing up; and it's probably Treyarch's best attempt at multiplayer. Easily their best title.

Modern Warfare 2 was the very final COD multiplayer worth a damn, though the campaign is shite.

Some of the survival and co-op missions from the later titles were worth playing, but the quality of the campaigns and multiplayers have fallen off a cliff face.

[WS_Jack_III]

Finished Max Payne 3 today, the game is hard as hell and made me want to rage quit a few times. I enjoyed it though, part 3 of the game is good and James Mccaffrey's narrations/voice acting is as awesome as it always was, some fantastic lines in the game.

[Spindles]

Really looking forward to the Binding of Isaac: rebirth, released tomorrow, one of the very few games I've ever pre-ordered. The idea of it being bigger, better and joypad enabled made it an easy purchase for me (as well as supporting developers whose work I enjoy).

I disagree, black ops multiplayer was great IMHO, and was very very popular. Havent even bothered playing a campaign since blops either tbh.

I remain open minded to the new one, it looks good, and they have been saying all of the right things about it so far. I will see later today how it plays.

How did you pre-order it... I can't see it on the store. Also, isn't it free with PS plus this month anyway?

[Spindles]

Ah, I'm on PC, got it on steam (1/3 off for owners of the original). Release is tomorrow evening.

I believe Sledgehammer have had almost 3 years, as this is the first game they've done since MW3 (which was gash).

Black Ops multiplayer was the only one I loved as much as COD4's, since COD4. It was superb.

But yeah, went and got Advanced Warfare last night and had about a 2 hour session when I got back. It's very good, they've brought back the "Pick 10" create a class system from Black Ops 2 (apart from its "Pick 13") this time around and it still is my favourite create a class system, especially after the horrid thing Ghosts put out last year. Eurgh. Maps seem good and well suited to the verticality of the exo-suits, which are great for for razzing it round the maps with. Decent K/D ratios for my first set of games too which is always nice.

Not many complaints so far at all, will have another go later on!

EDIT: I'm also getting old, I'm really looking forward to starting the Campaign haha

I played the first mission or so while i was waiting for the install to complete, it felt pretty good, the exo feels properly weighted, some of the gadgets are fun to mess around with, especially the different grenades. I started on "hardened" which is pretty much my go-to difficulty, then if I really enjoy it, I replay on veteran.

Just waiting for the install to finish before I can jump into MP.

[TheJackson]

Ah really, I always jump straight in on Veteran to play through and grab the extra trophies, then go through again on Private/Rookie/Easy whatever it is and mop up collectibles etc.

I agree about the Exo, I was worried it was going to really, really piss me off in MP but it's great, actually gives you more of a chance against unskilled players getting a lucky shot on you.

[luckysalt]

Mine got delivered today, but im too tired to crack on with it, maybe in the morn

[the_hedge]

Connection was off a bit on Multiplayer but had some fun. Try and maintain around a 2kd in COD but it's gonna be hard in this game due to it's fast paced nature which is not a bad thing. Think I finished yesterday just scraping a 1kd but apart from the connection had some fun with it.

If they sort the shoot first die first connection issues it could be one of the best. If it has BLOPS2 connection it's screwed...

At the risk of sounding quite geeky... has anyone played Hearthstone? Its an online collectable card game, a bit like Magic The Gathering. Thought I'd give it a bash last night seeing as it is free and I'd heard lots of good things about it.

It's ridiculously addictive, and the rules are pretty simple to learn. I'm a sucker for good board/card games so this is right up my street.

Sony have announced PLUS for PS4 going into next year

Heres their announcement

Hi everyone. Before we get into the details on November’s new PS Plus games, we understand many of you are waiting for DRIVECLUB PS Plus Edition to be added to the Instant Game Collection, and we apologise that the game is not yet ready to launch. We want you to know that we’re committed to providing DRIVECLUB PS Plus Edition to members when it’s ready, and the team at Evolution Studios is working hard to make it a reality.

In the meantime, we want to make sure you still have some amazing free games to play throughout the holidays. As you may already have read, in the month of November we’ll have The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Steamworld Dig on PS4, Frozen Synapse Prime and Luftrausers on PS3, and The Hungry Horde and Escape Plan on PS Vita.

Beyond that, in December we’re adding Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition and Secret Ponchos to PS4′s IGC line up. Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition is the first AAA Blu-ray title to join the Instant Game Collection for PS4, and we think you’re going to love it. Then in January, we’re addinginFAMOUS First Light and The Swapper for PS4. We will still add DRIVECLUB to the PS Plus line up when it becomes available.

For San Andreas players.

I've actually, for the first time ever, for through the first two of Zero's missions at the electronics shop. Rockstar must have realised how hard these fuckers were and eased them up considerably.

There is one, which seems to take the form of a giant board game where you have to defeat Berkeley.

Anyone even got the slightest idea what to do?

[t8yman]

GTA 5 on next gen has added "first person" mode, colour me excited.

[Spindles]

Colour it overdue!

I am waiting for it on PC, the first person mode just makes me want it more.

Is one of those the one with the remote control plane? That one was a right fucker.

Still not got round to playing the "HD" version yet, though I heard it is actually just the Android/iPad version.

[Uncle Liam]

Yeah it basically is a port. And it' a bit buggy, especially the radio stations

But still... Three quid!
