Game of the year

This Or Watchdogs in My Opinion

Graphics look stunning in this open world adventure with so many game modes and things to do .

Watch dogs looks good but the other game looks pants IMO

Still way too early for that old bean, but I agree Destiny could be a winning [FPS] formula.

We still have the Division and (one I'm totally intrigued by) The Order 1886, yet to come.

You must have been a zookeeper in a former life Swanny, because you are definitely having a giraffe.

I've never played Halo but there's no doubt that decent first person sci fi shooters have broad appeal IF you get the backstory right, and it looks like this has it all. Shooting, looting, crafting and online co-op with open world public events? Could be a classic in waiting if Bungie get the feel right, and lets be honest, they have the pedigree.

You sure you're not just being sci-fi-ist Leiutenant?

I did say "IMO"

I did play Halo but really didn't like it

The only FPS I really liked was doom, modern FPS its like you dead in 1 second. Too realistic etc.

Halo wasn't released on a Nintendo Snes Swanny and thats about how far you are behind when it comes to Next generation

Me and me Homie Nelly will be giving you plenty to cry about in a few weeks time when we get our hands on Playstation 4 copies of both Wofenstein and Watchdogs to get you dribbling .

Next gen will have arrived at last��.With Watchdogs thats for sure.

You keep harping on about that old game GTA5 and we will focus our attention on current next generation games to keep you informed of the kind of gaming world true gamers live in.

First Halo without multiplayer on the original Xbox Was a system sellar and was brilliant and why i invested in the original Xbox��As soon as it went multiplayer it wasn't very much fun if I'm honest so I'm hoping Bungie have made more of a adult FPS than some childish Halo that it became.

what makes these games next generation?

watchdogs is out on 6 platforms, its even out on the wii-u which is a console almost abandoned by 3rd party devs.

what will be the difference between ps3 and ps4 versions of the game other than probably graphical effects and possibly resolution? surely its the same game right?

Watchdogs or Destiny will own both those titles and i doubt they see the light of day in 2014 anyway.

Obviously we will get a few surprises at E3 In June but there isn't to much on the horizon that has me that interested about when i look at this years current release schedule.

There is a new Gears in the works but that will be end of 2015 unless they have kept that quiet for the past 18 months and i very much doubt that.

Im beginning to wonder why i even bothered with a Xbox One,i can not think of the last time i switched it on and played a game on it����.About 6 weeks ago i think and that was for 5 minutes.

There is no release date for Watchdogs on the Nintendo Wii U and only a clown would buy that for that system if he had one or both of the others.

Watchdogs is on all the platforms granted but its going to look way nicer on the next generation stuff than the older hardware.

Besides Chrysalis I'm winding Swanny up with those comments��..Its supposed to be a humorous post

As for the Nintendo Wii U ��Rumour has it that Nintendo will be announcing a new machine at E3,Nintendo squashed those rumours though and claimed it wasn't true��..Im in the Rumour camp because as you say the Nintendo Wii U looks like it has the same success rate as the Atari Jaguar even though i have had more fun on that system at present than both the Playstation 4 and Xbox One Combined

Halo single-player was okay. There were a fair few long repetitive sections though. Multi-player was good, but it did show it's XBox's origins all too well.

One thing they did get absolutely right, and which all other 3rd person games with vehicles should emulate is how they handle - it was (and possibly still is) absolutely the best control system around.

Actually I'm bored of GTA V now
It was fun when I had friends to play with but now I'm Billy no mates.
Saving money to buy a new bike for the summer so won't be spending £400+ on a PS4

I registered on club nintendo (as needed for that free game) and 70% of the site says still in production, nintendo seem half arsed with it. That nintendo tvii service seems abandoned as well.

If nintendo release a new console I think they will go the way of sega, lose consumer confidence. Thats the worst they can do, they simply have to ride the wii-u out.

I have checked steam for watchdogs, whilst the pc version will be smooth nice graphics etc. I do prefer playing on consoles as they have natural controller input plus it adds to trphies/achievements I am building up. IF the ps3/360 version is good framerate then I will get one of those 2 versions, otherwise probably pc, so is a waiting game for me.

Well it's more beneficial than a console and far more Healthy in that respect I agree,you certainly got your money's worth with GTA5 .

Surprised you have become somewhat bored with it though given the amount of times you spent playing it.then again may be I'm not surprised as at some point a game never mind how good becomes a little bit predictable and can become boring .

They could make a fortune licensing there games for mobile devices and I think that's something they should seriously consider.

The Nintendo Wii U was a huge mistake even though it now has some great addictive games,you don't bring a new next generation console to market that is only just a little bit more powerful than a Playstation 3 and Xbox 360,that's there first mistake,the second is the severe game drought that seems to go side by side with new console releases.

I don't really understand the mindset of these Gaming company's that release new hardware without killer games to go with it.

Apart from the original Xbox and Halo and the Nintendo 64 and Mario 64 new hardware releases don't have any games to support them until nearly a year later,Infamous Second son needed to be a launch game on the Playstation 4 and so did the promised Drive Club.

Now if Watchdogs turns out to be a average game then for me this will a total disaster of the highest order,personally from what I have seen I think it's going to be huge franchise ,I mean it's been 5 years in the making.

I agree, really super mario 3d and mario kart 8 should have been launch games.

nintendo were niave to think everyone would flock to it on brand name alone.

The game I'm most looking forward to at the moment is Dying Light.

Isn't that from the guys that did Dead Island which was not that exciting once it got released and after the awesome real time trailer.

And while we are on the subject the person/ persons responsible for coming up with the original name The Nintendo Wii and now the Wii U needs to get out of the gaming division and rethink his/ her career options.

One of the most stupid names ever to grace a new console which in all honesty alienated mature gamers with there stupid name in the first place.

It sounded childish,it is childish and they need to start releasing some M for Mature Nintendo published games and stop releasing the same old tired franchises .

Give me another Metroid developed by Retro please and take my Money and stop pumping out party games .

They had a massive success with the Nintendo Wii as it appealed to other people not necessary into gaming,like family's and younger children based on its motion controls ,personally I hate motion controlled gaming but I bought one for a 20 minute fix and sold it 6 months later after it sat there doing nothing but collection more dust than my dyson.

I don't seriously think I will be interested next time around with next generation consoles unless there is a mind blowing launch game,I am into gaming and gadgets and the thought of something next gen be it a console,tablet .new phone I'm generally sold.

They thought that because of the huge success of the Nintendo Wii,they thought power wasn't important and really it's basically the Wii 2 with a massive tablet controller that has [censored] poor battery life.

I'm knocking it but on many counts I really have had more fun with it than the other 2 consoles,I only wish they would focus more on the mature market,that's why developers are delaying releases of games like Watchdogs and cancelling other on the Wii U because nobody is going to buy the bigger games on a Nintendo Wii U when they have a Playstation 4 or Xbox One

Think it was 18 months later they actually released stuff worth purchasing the console for,I bought it because of my love of Zelda and the awesome Pikmin game

I got it for 3 wii exclusive games initially. one of them is made by the same dev who made lost oddysey which is probably the best jrpg in previous generation.

I dont know what the hell is going on with the wii-u, commercially its a complete failure, but I feel this is about much more than the hardware.

Now days deals are made all the time, cash changes hands for exclusives etc. and I get the impression sony has their own developers in their pockets, microsoft has their's also, nintendo has noone just their own 1st party releases, they seem to think they dont need to pay for games to be developed on their system. Zelda wind waker isnt really a wii-u game, its a enhanced port for the wii-u so the wii-u after all this time is yet to have a native zelda game. The gamepad has the shortest battery life I have ever seen for a gamepad and if you seen the news article I posted it looks like they originally had a bigger battery but then reduced it to cut costs. If I compare it to say my vita, which isnt just a screen it also has a gpu/cpu etc. the vita has a battery that lasts about 10x as long and it charges faster as well. The gamepad on my wii-u has a sticky button, I usually only ever see sticky buttons on cheap 3rd party controllers or really old 1st party ones, my brand new wii-u controller has the problem. Plus the huge brick required to charge it urrrgh. Really bad design choices. The wii-u is obviously weak for this generation and in particular its cpu is very weak, but at the time it was the most powerful console when released yet it didnt get any support then, which is why I think its not all down to the hardware, unless developers knew at that time the future specs of ps4 and xbox1.

All I can do is compare it to other consoles I have and this is what I see.

The club nintendo website is still not complete about 2 years or so after the product is launched, in addition I registered my console and its yet to show on the site, when I registered my ps3 on psn it was instant. I contacted nintendo reps and have yet to have a reply.
The nintendo tvii feature which is used for iptv services, is yet to launch in europe, nintendo have a website they made in feb 2013 stating its coming soon, that same page is still there now in may 2014. They kept the app on the wii-u just it doesnt do anything.
No iplayer/itvplayer yet the ps4 already has these.
Nintendo's famous virtual console which I have seen way too much hype for has a massive 8 snes games on the wii eshop, seems all but abandoned.
The wii-u and even wii seems to have barely any budget games. I frequently brought games for both ps3 and xbox360 for £15-20 6 months or so after release, a 4 year old wii game costs £60, 2 year old wii-u game £40 etc.

I dont fault them making mario games, it is a good franchise and mario u is brilliant, mario 3d is brilliant. mario kart clearly a good franchise, as many competitors clone it. But its too few games, more are needed. Yes quite possibility with more different types of games, but adult themed games I think simply arent in nintendo's dna. The wii-u is too expensive for a 8 year old. Not powerful enough for adult themed gamers. and for whatever reason (is probably related to hw spec but probably also other reasons) 3rd parties wont touch it. The touchpad that comes with it I think also will confuse the sort of gamers who got attracted to the wii.

Also how marketing have we seen from nintendo? seems nothing compared to sony and microsoft.

Even though they don't seem to be marketing the Wii U very well they do have some decent games on it as of today.

They are obviously arrogant in there ways and like i said i really don't think that it will be to long before they bring out new hardware in some form or another.

This is exactly why the Nintendo system is where it is today�..

This is Nintendo Vision

That no adult minded gamer is slightly interested in one little bit,sort of there version of Skylanders for Kids.

It is indeed although it now has free running style gameplay to it as well so a little like Mirrors Edge with zombies, I actually quite enjoyed playing Dead Island co-op with a few mates, made a change going from most games being shoot first, melee if in trouble to being mainly melee combat and save the gun for when you are being over run. I thought the 10mins of gameplay shown looked pretty darn good.

Post the link mate to this 10 minute video of the gameplay save me searching for it. Saying that if it looks and plays anything like Dead Island its a game i won't be buying .

You mean this.

It looks way better than Dead Island but still has the terrible Australian Voice overs

Not even a release date so i doubt this will even make 2014 .

Have to admit matey it looks very nice and has some amazing set pieces and lovely tropical island graphics to match.

SOLD

As expected...Delayed

That was the video I saw mate, I thought it was 10mins but it was obviously 12mins. It did have a release date of 1st quarter 2014, then it was put back to 2nd quarter 2014 and I did fear the worst when I have heard nothing new about it for a while.
Agree with the voice overs they do sound a little ropey to say the least.
The 2 games I really liked the look of in Dying Light and The Division both pushed back to 2015, I better not mention anymore games I want as they will be pushed back to next year as well, at this rate I'm going to be playing a slightly less buggy BF4 until 2016 lol.

Don't forget Watchdogs mate in a few weeks and Wofenstein a week next Tuesday,as you can see by my later post it's been confirmed that dying light is now delayed until 2015 so I put that game for now well out of my memory banks as I'm only really interested in what's coming up quickly on the horizon as we have a severe game drought on these next gen consoles

For petes sake don't say you are looking forward to Watchdogs then,a 6 month delay is bad enough already and I'm really pumped up for this come May 27.

Noticed you have been a member since June 2008 and only recently have I seen you in these gaming forums,it's great mate when you post your thoughts and opinions about anything game related ...

48 posts in nearly 6 years.....keep posting matey I like reading what others have to say instead of reading my own tripe

Think I post about 48 times in here in 1 week,obviously most our repeated as I have a habit of talking about similar stuff I posted earlier.

Reason for that mate is this forum is not very active which is a shame ,only about half a dozen regulars and some of them seem to disappear now and again.

So seeing someone newish is a breath of fresh air matey

48 posts in almost 6 years, dam I'm a slow typist LOL.

In all seriousness though i had an issue with my internet connection years ago and so made up an account and then eventually forgot about it until again recently finding it, I'll no doubt be frequenting the gaming forum now, if only to complain about my useless team mates on Battlefield 4.

I promise I wont mention wanting Watchdogs until it's released and then I'll get it a few weeks later after the normal Ubisoft price drop.

Only because of what you said about the games you are looking forward to keep being delayed

To late no i think to cancel either Wofenstein or Watchdogs they well into retail production and making there way to retailers.

Tell me what systems you are playing your games on,are we talking Next Generation consoles here or do you have a PC like the other guy called Toady on here

just got turned off by watchdogs, yet another game with multiplayer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrro1GE9JUI

dont want to have to deal with human players I only like to play against AI.

Xbox One and PC, mainly play on Xbox One though as that's what most of my friends have.

Oh no a Jorkila Xbox One Supporter

I'm surprised as Human foes are far more aggressive than AI.

You can turn off all the multiplayer stuff if you want, so no one will join your game. That's what they said in one of the Videos Timey posted not long ago.

Whenever we press a key on our keyboard, a console owner regains their sanity and buys a PC!

Or just disconnect

ok good, so has my interest again.

I am with you, if the multiplayer was forced then I probably would not be interested either. It's hard to say without experiencing the game but I would think that someone joining your single player campaign and hacking you would just be annoying and distract you from the story.
IMO they should keep the story mode and multiplayer separate in games.

I'm hacking Nelly every opportunity I get problem is he will more than likely be at some transsexual bar with lipstick and stockings and suspenders on .

Cherish the thought...........


On a serious note the games going to rock....take it from Timey

Have you been stalking me?

Too much information there!

dark souls 2 also has invasions, but with NO option to disable, however its blocked in my firewall. If it cannot connect to the internet it launches in offline mode.

Personally I want to play the game as pure single player on my very first play through so I will disable the online intrusion mode until I get a fair wack into Watchdogs and learn the ropes fully as I think this game will have a fair bit of getting used to all the various options and button configuration.

This is simply not you general run and gun shooter as it seems to have far more depth to it and lots of things to work out and do.

Unless Hacking in your mind means something different to the rest of us Humans that inhabit Planet Earth.

I thought you were using an euphemism...

Talk English will you that last word has way more than 3 letters

Want to borrow a dictionary then?

Or should I phrase it as a "book with lots of words and no pictures ?"

I thought you were using an euphemism...

Now it's English.

Of course
