NEXT GEN CONSOLES

[LondonTom]

Almost forgot for those who like Hand Egg . Madden 25 demo is out First time I played Madden actually (In a bid to understand NFL from a more tactical stand point) but enjoyable couple of match ups on there. Will likely get the full version.

Got the EA Humble Bundle, been playing Sims 3 all weekend.

Need a new hard drive before I can install BFIII as I'm out of space and don't want to bother downloading films and stuff again .

films/tv shows just put onto an external hard drive then they are at hand whenever you want them, but they don't take up any memory on your laptop/pc

I've been interested in it but never played it. What sort of game is it? Is it just hack n' slash?

I'd say it's a more tactical hack n slash. Combat is kinda similar to the witcher. Lots of RPG elements with stats, weapons, equipment etc. Its probably not as difficult as most people make out, but it is very unforgiving and doesn't hold your hand in any way

Heres a couple of videos about it

Microsoft just announced in Europe if you preorder a xbox one with anyone, you get FIFA 14 included for free.

Fuck the Xbox 1, I hope it flops regardless of the u-turns and offers.

I don't.

Even though I intend to go PC for the next generation at least the Xbox has a controller that fits big western hands and, for me most importantly of all, it has proper triggers you can use in racing games. The interplay of throttle and brake in PGR or Forza shows what a puddle of liquid shite the Playstation controller is for racing games.

Yes, MS are a bunch of spindoctor money whores.

But if you think Sony are any different you need to reassess the world and your place in it.

So Sony's European Presser has just finished

PS3 12GB and PS Vita official price drop to 199 euros each from tomorrow

PS4 confirmed release date for US is Nov 15th and Europe 29th Nov

Over 1 million preorders already

PS+ has an offer until end of Sept I believe it is, buy a yrs sub on the store and you get 3 months free.

Assassins Creed 3 announced as lead PS+ title for September, rest announced this week

Some HUGE vita love going on

The biggest news for me was Football Manager Vita being announced, its the classic version of the game that got added to the PC version in FM 13, but its the full version of that game, 3D graphics engine for matches, full database, and CLOUD saving, you can switch the save game between your Vita and PC versions, continuing the game between the two, thats AWESOME.

Also a festival sim game got announced for Vita called Big Fest, which will be free, and you choose real unsigned bands to play at a festival you create, it sounds very promising.

Also for you old school gamers Shadow of the Beast is being remade and got announced as a PS4 exclusive

Sony also reconfirmed the Gran Turismo film being made and announced they're making a film with Ubisoft based on the Watch Dogs game.

There was a bunch more stuff announced including new games I haven't had chance to look at yet

Too lazy to preorder so might miss out but hoping to get a PS4 before xmas I reckon. Not arsed if its sold out and I have to wait until the near year but know I want it now.

Launch line ups okay, shame InFamous isn't until 2014 but I'm curious in Knack and all the multiplats (Watch Dogs, BF4, FIFA) will be good. Super Stardust guys have their PS4 twin stick shooter thingy announced too, and it's the first PS+ free indie game for PS4 so it's not like I need anything else lol.

This seems like a pretty good Vita deal to me

I am slightly tempted.

Also, why have they decided to remake Shadow Of The Beast, one of the worst Amiga games?

That's a excellent deal. I paid £169 for mine with LBP and a 4gb memory card, so that Amazon deal blows mine out the water. It's an excellent bit of kit though. Get PS+ and you probably won't buy a physical game for it!

In other news I really am thinking of buying Disney Infinity for the Wii U. Seems like the kind of game my wife and I will enjoy playing together and it looks great fun. And I'm a sucker for those little Disney statues!

I caved in and have bought one along with a 1 year PS+ subscription! I am going on holiday on Friday, so it seemed the ideal time to buy one!

Microsoft have announced that COD ghosts will have dedicated servers on the XBONE, that along with Titan Falls pretty much has made my decision to move away from Sony.

You might want to invest in a bigger memory card!

[windy_miller]

Can you suggest any good games to get from the PS Store? I think I might get Hot Line Miami.

Looking forward to Spelunky coming to the Vita

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/03/25/indie-hit-spelunky-comes-to-psn-this-summer/

I've played the demo on xbox but never bought it and it is great fun. It looks like the ideal game for a hand held console.

[luckysalt]

Men's Room Mayhem is quite fun, its £1.99 so cheap.

Im looking at getting Everybody's Golf its only £5.39 on the store at the mo.

[t8yman]

Vita deal looks great, very tempted. Couldnt see the list of games though?
