Here's another chance to get 20% off loads of new console games at eBay
| @serpensalbus They’ve all done it, they did last time too. You still end up saving a bit over ordering direct from their site for the most part but it’s a pretty shady practice. |

Microsoft buying Bethesda and Zenimax for $7.5bn
|
Hell of a statement of intent, and as an Xbox gamer with Gamepass I’m delighted purely from a standpoint that I won’t have to fork out £50-60 At launch for any more Bethesda games. It also makes Game Pass even more incredible value. Bigger picture, I really dislike that it’ll most likely remove a lot of AAA games from Sony, I really don’t think that’s a good thing for gamers at all, regardless of which platform you’re going with. |

Red Dead Redemption 2 patch 1.09 tested: has HDR been fixed?
| @Bilbur Yeah, I knocked HDR off & ran it with XDR on my Sony tv instead. Got all of the saturated colours & deep blacks of the SDR presentation along with the bright highlights of HDR. To my eyes it looked a lot better than both of Rockstar’s HDR efforts. |

In Theory: Will there be more than one next-gen Xbox?
| @StuDevo I’d say it’ll more likely be marketed as a 1080p machine & a 4K machine, same as we have now basically. That’d be the sensible way to do it. |

Far Cry 2's single-minded vision deserves to be remembered
| @Breach No, I’m more talking about the execution of the story really. Aside from the opening scene, literally everyone you meet is hostile towards you. It’s literally just kill everyone you meet before they kill you. The later games feel a little more fleshed out. |

Loved the setting, I loved how oppressive it was but it was so basic in terms of story & gameplay. As a first edition in a new franchise, it felt like they’d nailed the technical aspects of it & the game itself was kinda secondary. Assassins Creed is a perfect example too, beautiful world but the game itself is just the same thing over & over with no variety. Assassins Creed 2 & Far Cry 3 is where they really came into their own & both are landmark games for the franchises. |

Resident Evil 7 has third-best week one sales of the series
| Finished it yesterday, fantastic game. Perfect mix of old school Resident Evil with new (for the franchise) ideas. Takes a lot of cues from Alien Isolation & Outlast in particular, & the whole thing just works really well. Thoroughly enjoyed it. |

Hitman's next Elusive Target will be live on Friday
|
@quent The main game is the content that's paid for, that's yours to play whenever you wish. Bonus episodes & elusive targets are just added extras. Elusive targets are there for plenty of time to give them a go & if you miss them or fail, another one comes around pretty quickly. I'm not entirely sure what you're moaning about here. |

Why I think big console game sales are down
| For me personally, I plan on buying pretty much all of those games but I just refuse to fork out £40-50 each when I know they'll be around £20 before I even get the chance to finish them. I've been burned by that way too many times. |

Face-Off: BioShock: The Collection
| I'll pick it up when it's cheap, I fucking adore these games. It's slightly concerning that they've decided to redo the textures & lighting though. Make them more detailed by all means, but don't change them. It's not your game to mess with. |

Rocket League, Gwent "ready" for PS4 Xbox One cross-network play
| Doing this benefits everyone, all players have a bigger pool of people to play against & one of the main reasons I bought an Xbox One was because the people I usually play online with were on that platform. If cross platform gaming was a thing, I'd likely have gone with the PS4. |

I don't mind them, in the same way that I don't mind movies being polished up & rereleased on new formats. As long as they're priced appropriately & actually add some value to the package rather than just a quick port & a £40 price tag, I don't see the issue. |

| @Dismiss My point is, it looks great to me & at no point do I bemoan the fact that it's 900p rather than 1080p. The overall performance of the game is far more important to me. Would I rather it ran the same at 1080p native? Yeah, of course I would but I'd take a stable 900p frame rate over a shaky 1080p one any day. |

@Dismiss No, it's a 1080p front projector. And no, i didn't put both versions together. I have games that run at 1080p & I have games that run at 900p & I simply use my eyes. I don't see a huge difference between the 2 resolutions when in motion. If I kept pausing & switching back & forth then maybe I would, but why would anyone do that? The difference between the 720p Ground Zeroes & Phantom Pain is instantly noticeable however. |

| @Cheeky-Girl-Gamer agreed, I was playing the X1 version on a 106" screen & the differences between native 1080p & upscaled from 900p are negligible, even at that screen size. |

| @Ivattthestanier When it comes to installing Xbox games from disc, always decline any updates that are available when the disc first begins installing. It'll then install the disc contents & you can download & install any updates on launch. If you accept the updates when you first put the disc in, it downloads the whole game & updates from live (usually 30-40gb) & takes a fucking eternity. |

An hour with Randy Pitchford
|
I don't think opinions on the quality of something are that subjective. You generally know if something's good or bad, & can enjoy or dislike it regardless. I fucking love the movie Commando, I think it's hilarious. Genuinely entertaining as fuck & I'd rather watch Commando than Citizen Kane. Does that mean that in my opinion Commando is the better film? Of course not, I'd be borderline mentally ill to think that. Same with Colonial Marines, I got a kick out of visiting the iconic locations from Aliens & there's parts of it that I enjoyed. Does that change the fact that it's a buggy, ugly shitpile of a game with a story that looks like it was pulled from the IMDB message boards & should never have seen the light of day in its current form? Of course not. |

PewDiePie talks money
| To me it sounds like he's just done something he enjoys doing & it's exploded in popularity for whatever reason & he's managed to make a very good living off it. Fair play to the guy. I've only ever seen one of his videos & I found him fairly annoying but with 9 billion views he's obviously doing something right. What he makes for it is nobody's business except his, the entire backlash simply boils down to jealousy. He's getting paid to play games & yell random shit at the screen, something the rest of us have to actually pay for. Shit, I'd swap places with him in a heartbeat. |

After a week, 1m votes cast for Xbox One backwards-compatible games
| @SwissTony1994 I think it's more the fact that the games don't run from the discs & need to be downloaded from Live into the emulator to run. If it was just a straight up case of running it from the disc, they wouldn't need permission. |

The Witcher 3 sells 4m copies in two weeks
| Well deserved, it's astonishing. Loved the 2nd game but this is something else, it's absolutely gorgeous to look at & is packed with content. Not the padded out quests that pretty much every other game of this type is filled with, each side mission feels like it's had just as much detail piled into it as the main quest line. And Qwent is the videogame equivalent of crack. The whole thing's a masterpiece. |

Gears of War remaster set for Xbox One - report
| I'd happily buy a Gears Collection & while we're on the subject, an Arkham series remaster. I look at these remakes as no different to upgrading my favourite films to Blu Ray. They're games I'd like to keep playing in the future long after the original console is obsolete, so why not? |

Microsoft apologises for using PC footage in Xbox One Witcher 3 trailer
|
@Badassbab Everyone does it though. Trailers for multi platform games tend to be identical in spite of whether they have an X1, PS4 or PC logo at the end of them. Demo footage often shows areas that are nowhere to be seen in the final game. Dark Souls 2 & Colonial Marines showed games that looked 10x better than what was actually released. Screenshots released for games in development are almost always flawless, even if the released version is a sub-HD jaggy fest. It's not right, but it's done across the board. |
