Re: Videogame News

It just struck me - as a gamer for over three decades since the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, I have never played a single Blizzard (or Silicon & Synapse) game. Not one.

I have no idea why. Their games look great and have always appealed to me. Weird :roll:

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

That pre order was a mess again, just like with PS5. Series S appears to still be available, surprisingly. At least for Xbox we knew a time and place and it wasn't dropped on us unawares, so for me it lacked the mad dash aspect of PS5 pre-ordering. I think for people trying to do the Xbox All Acces...

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

I can't see Switch ever having Gamepass. The only way it could even possibly work would be through streaming, but a little bit like with Apple, I can't see Nintendo wanting their players to have access to a library of hundreds of games not purchased from their store. People have a finite amount of ...

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

What I do think we'll see is new xbox & PC exclusive games/franchises outside of the existing tentpole properties (e.g. Elder Scrolls, Doom etc), created by what were Bethesda-owned studios. So you might not get an Xbox-exclusive Dishonored or Wolfenstein, but you will probably get an exclusive ...

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

Will be fascinating to see how this plays out over the coming years! I'm going to wager that most major Bethesda franchise game (e.g. Elder Scrolls, Doom, Fallout, Wolfenstein), still come to Playstation platforms, with at worst a timed exclusive window on Xbox. Purely the fact that they will all la...

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

I'll be looking to pre-order a Series X, and with Microsoft clearly publishing the sites it is available from and a defined kick-off time, it should hopefully be less of a shitshow than the PS5 debacle of the last 24 hours! https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-17-xbox-series-x-s-pre-orders-go-...

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread

Despite claiming to be a fan of the series, I've only ever played 6, 7, 8, 10 and half of 9. I've been wanting to play 15 for a while though, and it's on PS Now at the moment so might give it a try. I wouldn't worry Alex - I think you can definitely claim to be a fan based on the hundreds of hours ...

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread

The PS+ Collection thing seems like a bit of a lame bone to through the Playstation fanbase who are looking at Game Pass and xCloud with envious eyes. All the third party stuff going in there is on, or has been on, Game Pass and those first party games would I imagine have been largely played by mos...

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread

Well I thought that show last night was fantastic! Really great job from Sony, and of all these live-streamed video events we've had this year, this one was comfortably the best for me in terms of a piece of entertainment. It definitely lost momentum in the second half, but when you throw out FFXVI ...

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

I'd love to say Sony might surprise you on that front, but I really don't think they will sadly! PS5 and it's games are going to be awesome no doubt, and I will get one, but it's also undoubtedly going to be the most expensive way to game in the next gen, with a £450-£500 box (my prediction anyway!)...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

Something new! It's not a 1st party title, and I suspect it probably won't be to everyone's tastes, but I'm personally super excited for it. I've got over 300 hours on the Switch version of the first Hyrule Warriors, and I still haven't remotely finished everything yet. If this has even a fraction ...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

Play Asia is legit. I never really buy from any other 'foreign' eShops now besides Japan, the US one almost never has any alternate early releases like back in the early days. Japan quite often has stuff which comes out months before the EU eShop, if it ever appears. My main account is set to South...

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

As if by magic, a proper trailer for the Series S has now also been leaked, confirming top-line specs. Actually very impressive! 1440p up to 120fps, raytracing, 512gb version of the SSD found in Series X, same seamless game switching as Series X, 4K game upscaling and video streaming. Looks like it ...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

Surely they're just going to sell them separately after that date, or something more exciting? They're not going to leave money on the table. I have to be honest, I don't personally give a shit, in any case. I'll be buying it on the 17th off the Japanese eShop. Nintendo can do what they they like. ...

Re: Microsoft Xbox news and discussion thread

I just find it really odd that it's not going to do 4k, when the current Xbox One S does..! Part of me thinks I don't need 4k, but then if I did get a Series S that would likely be my next gen console for 4 years or so at least. And with a 4k TV at home that currently doesn't really get used to its...
