Gamers unite -HQ

Theyv'e started. Pikmin 3 has already caused an increase then you've got Mario later on in the year among a few others. That's just 2013 before you see Fit, Smash, Kart.

The figures are bad but not as bad as made out as the 3DS is saving Nintendo at the moment. It's almost like a Pokemon game is due for relase in October.

Positives are that download sales have shot up, that's a good thing.

 

[ヒュー　G.　レックション]

That looks like the biggest ripoff in the history of video gaming. It looks like total crap.

My apologies to total crap, it looks much worse then that.

LOL I think it looks great! I may even download it since I've had about 2000MP for ages and I dunno what to spend it on. I hope this costs a LOT less than that though.

Dr. let me know how it is.

Now as for next gen consoles, I'll probably end up with a Wii U but I want to wait for a price drop.

What I want to ask is are PS4 and XBOne backwards compatible?

 

[M]

The ps4 and xbone won't be backwards compatible, MS had the "if you want backwards compatibility the you're really backwards" while Sony's working with Gaikai to make some sort of weird streaming thing where you could stream games from all previous gens onto the ps4 using some form of witchcraft and/or wizardry. The important thing is that shoving an old disk into them won't work.

 

[The Butcher]

This is a joke right?

Seems like the perfect game for e-fed fans.

 

[Барбоса]

Continuing to enjoy Sonic Racing Transformed, although the increasing difficulty is making me exclaim the usual gamer's refrain of "the computer must be cheating" as that car does not have better straight line speed than mine or the realisation that one mistake means that I might as well restart the race as I have no hope of winning.

Its like the Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing of old.

I'm currently playing Earthbound. Not had much time this week with interviews/KC but looking forward to playing it tonight.

 

[Барбоса]

On an impulse, I started playing Zeus: Master of Olympus yesterday and it remains a highly addictive game.

These videos are amazing. The voice of Adam Jensen from DEus Ex Human Revolution, Elias Toufexis and the voice of Vaas from Far Cry 3, Michael Mando cannot seem to get along. The second video even has a David Hayter appearance.

PS3 is bringing an app for live events. Why am I bothered by this? It means I can order Summerslam (yes it's having WWEPPVs) without having Sky!

 

[ヒュー　G.　レックション]

Hey Lee that sounds great, my brother has a PS3 and we've considered getting rid of Sky completely. How much would the PPV cost via the app?

 

[Lee]

Ah it was gameinformer who reported it. Not sure on European release:

Interesting. Hopefully it'll work better than that NowTV shit I'm currently trialling.

 

[GI Cake]

So by all accounts from PS3 and the PC community, Payday 2 is an extremely fun game and at $40 a really good deal. Microsoft has found yet another way to piss off the community by forcing Overkill to hold back the Digital and retail releases of the game until Friday.

Fuck you Microsoft.

Hopefully it makes it to Aus...

Sorry it took me so long to respond, Hugh. There's a discussion thread now.

Xbox One image continues to improve.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Well they have to make up for their press conference somehow.

Even though I'm not a fan I'm glad people who do truly love the console will still have options when it comes to want they want to buy.

 

[.]

I don't see how releasing it in only 13 countries in 2013 is something fans will like.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I didn't click the article, guess you were being sarcastic.

I just assume they're back tracking since the latest headlines I've seen is Kinnect doesn't have to be with it and DRM is gone (I think, like I said I don't keep up with them since I'm not a fan).

If they're doing worse, then fine by me.

 

[.]

I was. They reduced the countries that the Xbone is released in within 2013 from 21 to 13.

Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland—will launch “as soon as possible in 2014.”

Seemingly not happening in Europe, I certainly couldn't find it on PSN yesterday.

 

[Lee]

Ah that sucks.

Rome II: Total War has been pre-ordered.

17 days to get as much writing done as possible as September might be a complete bust.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Grand Theft Auto Iv's Multiplayer will perhaps be the first one I ever play. That looks amazing.
