Really? Lol every review I've seen says its average at best, the ai are useless and just ram into you. I'll get the free ps+ version but that's it, as it looks pretty crap to me. Way back when it was first announced it looked like it could be a great game, but as time went and delays came I could see it wasn't going to be anything special. I hope you enjoy it though...couger1981 said:Just got my copies of Shadow of Mordor and Driveclub for the PS4, been seeing a lot of positive reviews about Driveclub since being released so will let you guys know what it like. -
Sounds like my type of game.Got Outlast for free on PS4 with ps+ and loved that, although I haven't finished it yet.RevolvingPrawn said:Blinded by fear :|
I don't do so well with horror games lol. I managed 15 minutes of Slenderman before saying "nope, nope nope nope. **** that" and turning it off :p
As for it being good, what I've played so far has been very good. The amount of times the jump-scares got me is unreal lol. I played pretty much my first hour crouching everywhere, peeking around every corner, and cringing any time I made the faintest sound. The second hour I started running into other survivors, and I didn't feel so scared any more, until one of them encountered the Xenomorph, and it was back to crouching and peeking... If you've got the cash to spare, get it dude :) -
Is it any good bud? I love things that scare the crap out of me, hell I even love a scary nightmare as I see it as a horror movie in my sleep o:) Btw think you missed my dm as you're blind :p.RevolvingPrawn said:

Have been desperate to get reviews of FH2 and Driveclub to try to make my mind up about which console to get.Hughesy said:If you mean Forza Horizon 2 then yes it does, and it's very fun. ;)
Frankly the fanboy whining doesn't do much for me. I reckon a game will be pretty much as good at 900p vs. 1080p. For me the game exclusives and their gameplay dominate the choice. I think 60fps @ 1080p will become a standard on both platforms eventually.
Of the exclusives, I never played halo or had a 360, so the master chief collection looks good value. Plus FH2 looks to be much better than driveclub. However much titles like pcars might be slightly better on the ps4 vs the xbox, I think being able to play FH2 trumps that.
So it looks like xbone it is !That's why I chose the XB1 over the PS4 it's not that I didn't like what was available on the PS4 but I chose the XB1 because the exclusives for this machine just seem to good to miss out on this time I've never had any of the X box consoles before although I've been lucky thanks to Halo's 1 and 2 being available on PC of playing those but the Halo Master chief collection was one of the things that ultimately won me over. In fact I've recently installed Halo's 1 and 2 to give them another go soon. I have played the demo of Horizon 2 and feels ilke good fun and I will probably buy this eventually. Forza 5 is a lot of fun too. I've also found playing with the Kinect system a lot of fun too especially while playing Fifa.
Bought Alien Isolation on Steam earlier haven't played it yet though. Looks kind of scary but a good fun kind of scary.
Edit: Swear filter didn't work so had to change one of my words lol. -
Well I'd disagree, I've had two VW Golfs and not had a single problem. I'd never buy a Japanese car, especially with the amount of recalls in recent years.... :# years and years ago Japan built reliable cars but not these days.mike96 said:Come on, what did you expect from a VW? :p
Seriously, (especially) when it comes to reliability Japan is #1. -
I hated playing online until I played Destiny. Obviously it has the standard pvp which I've found really fun which surprised me, but doing missions with others is where the game shines. I've had so much fun playing it with @RevolvingPrawn :) -
Trust me you wouldn't regret it. I'm primary a PC gamer but have both the X1 & PS4. Really the performance of the PS4 isn't much and wouldn't be noticeable to most people. I have a high end PC and play at 1440p, yet I don't find the X1 games ugly and have yet to find a game on PS4 that looks better really (unless you look really really closely) but I'd rather just play and have fun gaming. When some say "the ps4 is 50% more powerful) it doesn't mean they look 50% better.dirt3joe said:

Trust me you will love Horizon 2 if you get it, and I also second what Dave said. Would love an extra player to play Destiny with unless that's not your sort of game. :)
@RevolvingPrawn Read the messages I've sent you. :p -
Second year in a row after having my car serviced, VW have left my clutch pedal slippery as hell. Last year I almost reversed into a load of new cars as my foot slipped off the clutch. Going back to an automatic next year anyway as I'm finding it hard to hold down the clutch :# -
If you mean Forza Horizon 2 then yes it does, and it's very fun. ;) -
LOL Driveclub is a big flop.... Started out looking so good in the early days, but the more information I got the less excited I became. The reviews say it's a pretty bland game. -

The roll hoop isn't built for that sort of impact.afrodude41 said:
The roll hoop is meant to be strong enough to not shave off like it did for Bianchi is it not?LowKeyRacer said:
What part of that is confusing for you?afrodude41 said:I'm confused, isn't the roll hoop part of the chassis and meant to be really strong? -
That impact was awful! I really hope he recovers from that. The tractor was actually reversing at the time so he might've missed it if it wasn't. It doesn't even look like the car is slowing down as the wheels weren't locked or anything, very scary. -
And as I said it wasn't from an offical person, and sadly it turns out he isn't breathing on his own. Certain reporters were just trying to be first with everything and get loads of retweets and views on their website.Platy said:
L'Equipe is reliable. Also their source is from Ferrari, I'd say that's pretty official.Hughesy said:

3:16pm for the news. -
@RevolvingPrawn Shopto are collecting my Xbox One and TX wheel tomorrow. I just hope they hear the noise the X1 makes as when you get older you can't hear high pitch noises lol
Edit: Here's the noise it makes.
-
So tomorrow I have to ring Shopto about my broken Thrustmaster TX wheel, and my Xbox One. That chirping noise that the X1 makes happens all the time now :s -
Like I said in my post above, until it's from the team or an offical source I'll ignore those tweets. I do hope it's true though.fIsince08 said:@JensonBottom That was a sick joke.
Apparently Bianchi is breathing on his own, good news after the car looked like a kayak.

Has anyone seen the picture of the car? The whole of the roll hoop is gone from behind his head. I feel sick right now and pray he's ok. I've always hated tractors collecting the cars. If they have to use them, then imo they should have to slow down to the pit lane speed or something. I'm surprised with all the safety in F1 they haven't developed a better vehicle to collect the cars. -
Yea my GPU is overclocked as fuck lol It's why I bought the MSI Gaming one, as every review said it overclocked really high. It's still a gamble as every card is different but I definitely got a good one. It's on a par with a 780ti which is one of the reasons I didn't plump for a 980 :p It's just the 3GB of vram that'll let it down at some point. I won't upgrade until the 3GB isn't enough at 1440p as although I could drop to 1080p it would be a waste having such a nice 1440p monitor.RevolvingPrawn said:Only?! :p Your benchmark is like 2.5k above mine with the GTX 770 lol. Definitely an awesome rig you have there :) -
I'm not actually sure what res it's at for me as you can't change settings on the standard one but anyway here's my best result. Not too far behind considering I only have a 780 and i5 3570k

-
You'll be fine with 4GB bud (should be anyway) as you only play at 1080p. Going up to 1440p uses a lot of vram. Vram basically is faster than Ram, and it's exclusively for the GPU. Normal Ram is shared by the whole system and is slower (also slower to access compared to Vram) The higher the res and graphics settings (ie textures) the more it'll use. Things like AA use a lot of VRAM. That's partly why the PS4 is more powerful than the X1, PS4 uses gddr5 which was really made for 3d gaming, whereas the X1 uses ddr3 ram like what you have in your PC. All good Gpu's use gddr5 now which is why it's so strange that M$ used normal ram.
I could go all geeky on you about it but that would take a lot longer to type :p
Later I'll post my results in the same benchmark as you to see how close I get to your results, did you just use the standard firestrike bench at 1080p?
Edit: I just remembered you don't change the setting on the standard one, just on custom. -
Ah fuck sake my Thrustmaster TX is defiantly dead now! Plug it in and calibrates as normal, but as soon as it's done the power light switches off meaning no power. :\
Edit: Ok so I found a fix on here http://www.isrtv.com/forums/topic/15023-possible-fix-for-seemingly-dead-thrustmaster-tx/
Basically you hold two buttons on the wheel and then plug it into the pc which puts it into a mode for updating the firmware. Then you let it update (although it's the same firmware version) and after that it stays on. I tried then using it on X1 but it wouldn't work. So this time did the same thing again on PC(as at this point it was only the X1 that wouldn't work) but then left it plugged in and shut my PC down. It then worked on my X1, although it was off centre but after I umplugged it then plugged it back in it was fine o:)
Anymore problems like this then the wheel is being sent back
Edit 2: After turning off my X1 and then going to play it again, it's stop working, going to send it back.... -
I'm starting to put a small amount back each time I'm paid, towards getting a new GPU o:) Maybe a 980ti or the next gen of cards. It all depends on the Vram, as I don't believe 4GB is enough for a high end card (especially at 1440p) Because of the consoles which use unified memory, devs could be lazy and not use ram properly. Nvidia always seem to be stingy with Vram compared to AMD. -
Well yes that would do it lol you didn't tell me that :p higher refresh rate means more frames being pushed, thus more heat o:) Glad you found out though bud, just for your sanity even though it didn't really matter. Hehe
