@Mar27w How far are you from the TV? Once you get a certain distance from the screen you're essentially imagining pixels that aren't there (as far as your eyes can see, not what the wallet has spent). For example with my sofa 3m from TV, i'd need something stupidly overbearing compared to the rest of the room at 70+ inches to even see the 4k difference. |

Microsoft open to your suggestions for more Xbox back-compat games

@tubaros This would be awesome. While RB4 imports most of the old stuff, it's still a shame The Beatles wasn't able to be licensed to be included within the import system. There is also the adapter for the old wireless instruments, but perhaps that would also cause issues with the older titles being able to recognize them. |

I honestly don't see how people can be having trouble with the controls, I've everything needed mapped to the 360 pad. The only time I need the keyboard is to type in system names on the galaxy map. Use the A/B/X/Y face buttons as modifiers for the dpad and you get 20 buttons. plain U/D/L/R for power levels X+U/D/L/R for targeting (target, next subsystem, cycle prev, cycle next) Y+U/D/L/R for thrusters (U/D/L/R) B+U/D/L/R for ship screens (Comms/Radar/L/R) A+U/D/L/R for cargo/gear/hardpoints/fire groups Bumpers for thrust, Triggers for pewpew Back for assist and Start for menu I'm still left with up and down on the right stick for chaff or some other stuff. I'm not PvPing though so I'd probably have my backside handed to me, but for normal day to day pottering around the galaxy, it's great. |

Kerbal Space Program finally in beta
|
I'm 250 hours in and I still haven't left Kerbin and it's moons apart from one poor Kerbal trapped in orbit of the Mars analogue. :) It scares me how much I still have left to do and see with all the extra stuff they keep adding on the way to the final release. Absolutely my GOTY (whenever it's done). Also there's a demo which is what got me hooked enough to see more in the first place |

Bethesda warns: you should have 4GB of VRAM to play The Evil Within PC

They can't really win can they. People would be complaining it looks like crap if it was a 360/PS3 port, so if they want XBO/PS4 standard ports then they need 8GB and 8 cores ideally. But the 4GB Vram is just plain silly, that's just over 1.5% of cards on the steam survey. |

Should Early Access DayZ be in Steam's Summer Sale?
|
It's unbelievable how people now throw around Early Access as a bad term rivalling F2P for scumminess. There are plenty of big budget/full price games that have come out in recent years just as unfinished and content light as some early access games have started out and yes some might never end up being 'finished' the current state of DLC and Season passes is really not all that different in terms of how long you need to wait for the game to be 'finished'. For those that can take the time to read and understand what they're getting from an early access game, buy Kerbal Space Program, it's awesome. |

Video: Let's Replay Super Mario Kart
|
I've only just managed to redo the 100cc Special Cup. After all these years I have realised just why I have the Rainbow Road theme so firmly embedded in my head. I must have retried 5 or 6 times although it's probably to be expected picking Toad and getting bumped of at nearly every turn. Then the elecro-thwomp combo of being zapped, spun out then flattened. Still 150cc here I come. |

EA's Origin ditches physical discs
|
Is this just the UK store? I've never even seen disc based games on the EU store. Just so I understand it properly, they're no longer selling discs directly but I'll still be able to pick up the PC version of FIFA 15/Sims 4 etc. from Game/Tesco/wherever and it will be installed from the DVD right. They're not going to be shipping cases with just Origin codes are they? I'm not blessed with the fastest internet so picking up the disc version of Titanfall and installing in an hour was preferable to a 16 hour download. |

How to install an Xbox One controller on your PC

Another DualShock 4 with DS4Tool user here, and I can say it is a really nice controller to use. The only drawback I have with it is that I think a recent change in Steam seems to hijack the controller before DS4Tool gets a chance to grab it, presumably for the Big Picture Mode and so I need to restart Steam after turning on the DS4 and then starting the DS4Tool service. |

Hands-on with the Steam in-home streaming beta
|
@Malek86 I'd imagine the problem with older netbooks is the built in intel graphics had no h.264 decoding hardware so even playing 720p mp4/mkv videos locally is quite hit and miss on such hardware depending on bitrate. It would be nice if the steam streaming host could be configured to use an alternate video encoder for these older netbooks such as xvid or something but it's probably not worth the effort for valve. |

GBA games coming to Wii U Virtual Console this Spring
|
It's been more than 2 years since the 3DS ambassador batch of GBA games. It is utterly ridiculous that there have been no more GBA games on the 3DS since. Even if they have backed themselves into a corner saying those particular 10 would never be sold on 3DS, where the hell are all the other classics that could be released. I thought Disney were bad with their 'vault' but Nintendo do make incredibly bizarre decisions. |

Fantastic game, finished it with the Bad+ ending and have always meant to go back to it but "backlog" :( Out of the whole series though, I think I liked Shattered Memories on the Wii the most especially due to the way game changed due to your responses and having no weapons made it really intense. |

@Der_tolle_Emil The no board bundle is probably to appease the 'Just say NO to downloads' brigade that demand they have physical media because downloads are evil and can't be sold on. That and they'll have to stock it in a month anyway for those with old boards at home. |

Valve working to make Offline Mode indefinite
|
I have it in Off-line Mode on the other PC and it stays off-line for months unless I manually put it on-line to install something new. It's been used to play through pretty much all the Bioware stuff, Witchers 1 & 2, Fallouts 3 and New Vegas and the Elder Scrolls stuff without having to reconnect to steam. We just get the dialog when steam starts asking if you want to go on-line or continue in off-line mode. At some point they did change it so that the client can update itself even in off-line mode which didn't used to be the case, maybe people are having some bug with that. |

I hope it doesn't mess with offline mode. Currently using that to split account across two PCs so OH can play Skyrim. Would be nice to use this to functionally merge my two accounts as well rather than have to logout and login, then wait for updates each time. The lockout thing is a big shame too. Conceptually it should be like picking a DVD from your shelf to watch on the TV in the bedroom while the kids are watching some other DVD on the main TV. But the way they are doing it would be like switching off the kids DVD player, madness. Surely they could have some combination of steamguard/IP checking to roughly ensure your in the same house. |

Never could get the 7th player working on PS3 as the remote control seemed to hog one bluetooth channel but 6 player stuff was still good fun. Cubixx HD, NHL Arcade, Bomberman Ultra, PixelJunk Racers. Probably means you can have a useful feature like having 8 players signed in simultaneously too for party games or turn takers like Worms. |

FIFA 14 on Vita is another reskin
|
Are the PS4 and XboxOne the only 'new' versions of FIFA this year and the rest are recycled? Are PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions just recycling 13 or they'll have some new features to bump them upto 13+? I can understand why they don't put any effort other than reskining for Wii, PSP and PS2 versions but they should certainly be priced accordingly too. |

If they want to aim higher above the base platform, then they should expect the consequences.
Alternatively will PC die hards accept a single CPU/GPU alternative? , unlikely for now so all are damned.
If this were PC in 90's , You want best, upgrade....
Else enjoy PS1/N64
