I'll probably give this one a miss. All you'll see in the dark zone is people camping the extraction locations & then the game turns into a revenge fest. Im so glad I didn't buy it off the dash last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Probably a long shot, but anyone picking up EDF 4.1 in a couple of weeks? You play as the titular 'Earth Defence Force', basically the army of the world and battle against invading alien forces - giant insects, lizards, and robots. Plus, their are mechs. Destructable environments and utterly mindless action abound, with 4 player online co-op and ~100 single player missions. I haven't played and EDF game since the PS2, but I'm quite looking forward to this one - it's essentially a remake of EDF 2025 from the PS3 era.

Chindie Posted February 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2016 DOOM! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2016 I saw that trailer yesterday without knowing what it was a trailer for. My reaction whilst I was watching was something like "Well this looks gory... ... that looks a bit like... ... hang on, is this?... ... yeah that's one of those monsters! This must be... ... IT'S DOOM!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Apparently the big plot reveal in Firewatch is so stupid it writes the whole thing off, despite a really strong start. I've avoided spoilers, so for £15 I might take the plunge anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Eagerly waiting for Rocket League on Xbox One and Doom of course. Not particularly arsed about anything else... are we now waiting 9-10 months for the build up to Christmas for some games to come out? Seems like the Xbox One is back down to 1 game a month at the moment, laughable really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 There's half a dozen games out this month, not saying you'll want to play them all but there's never much doing after Christmas. March to May and August to December is gonna be the main time for game releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 so far on PS4 this year they've released RE remaster (0&1) life is strange SE, lego avengers, gravity rush, unravel, the witness rest of feb - cant see it but i think firewatch is imminent, street fighter V, far cry primal, plants vs zombies 2 march - the division, super meat boy, samurai warriors 4, hitman, UFC 2, trackmania april - dirt rally, dark souls 3, ratchet and clank, uncharted 4 may - battleborn, mirrors edge, homefront that should be enough to keep people going until E3 and the next wave of announcements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I picked up Unravel yesterday and am enjoying. Reminds me of Limbo but in a much brighter setting (which is a negative imo, I loved the atmosphere to Limbo).

Thing is I'm not much of a gamer, i need a triple a title or something to really jump out and grab me or I won't bother. I'm the same with the cinema I won't just turn up and see whatever is showing, I need something to come out that forces me to go and watch.

Xann Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The reviews don't look brilliant, but the attacks and transformations in Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 are total eye candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The review I read was actually pretty favourable, even for non fans. It certainly looks gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Just finished Far Cry 4 on PS4. It was great, though virtually identical to Far Cry 3. Now just starting The Last of Us (PS4 remastered version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 far cry 4 had a very ubisoft franchise feel about it IMO, hardly any innovation or progression from 3, will be interesting to see what primal is like and on ubisoft franchises...no AC this year as they re-evaluate it (might be because of the film) but they have announced watch dogs 2 will be out in the next year, new IP TBA too ubisoft are a strange company for me, got some good IPs but they shovel them out, south park, for honour and the new ghost recon if all done right should be great but ive got little confidence that they will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've avoided spoilers, so for £15 I might take the plunge anyway... Completed it in one sitting, was okay but not enough gameplay for me. The story was fine, not sure where you've heard the big reveal is stupid, I didn't think it was particularly though I did think they might go in a different direction. It looked pretty and definitely has a nice feel which is mainly thanks to good writing and voice acting but it left me feeling a little hollow and unfulfilled. I'll put my summary into spoiler tags but they're not REALLY spoilers: Spoiler Not enough gameplay -- you essentially go from A-B and the controls can be quite frustrating. Regularly occurring frame rate drops -- very noticeable and annoying. I spend all this time in a beautiful national park and I only see one animal? Where are my goddamn bears?! Story didn't really pay off for me -- I got the feeling they started one way and then changed their mind. I also felt like my choices had no effect on the outcome whatsoever. I collected a lot of stuff that I was sure would affect the ending but as far as I know it meant diddly squat. Waste of time. For a big map it sure felt very linear and the gameplay was too -- I think there was a lot of scope for some side missions and secrets but for whatever reason they didn't opt for it. Nice art style and visuals. Well written dialogue and characters. Good voice acting and direction. Decent but altogether a bit disappointing and meh -- 7/10.

dubbs Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Open beta for The Division starts today on PS4 I think, if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The Division looks beautiful, but I imagine I would get pissed off with it in PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It looks pretty dreadful I thought. I played for an hour or two on my own, seems a bit boring. Bullet sponge enemies aren't my thing really. PvP would be better, also playing with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah bullet sponge is a bit crap. PvP means pairing up with randoms will annoy the hell out of me. Since anyone can attack anyone at any time I image you'd do a mission/raid or whatever and then as soon as it's done they'd turn on you and nick all your stuff. You'd need to play in a team you know so as to not get pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
