last 30 secs yeah.

Anyone else played the Battlefield hardline Beta?

I loved it! Will definitely be getting that when it comes out.

 

[-Jamie-]

I thought it was great as well, I'll probably get it but I won't stop playing BF4 as they are two different games imo

 

[roryb]

I only started playing BF4 about a week before the Beta came out. was about £13 on xbox store i am starting to prefer BF to COD now :S

 

[-Jamie-]

I used to be a COD player over BF until MW3 i think, Not bought a COD game since then. I much prefer the way the battlefields play now but they are a lot more team based as opposed to cod where you can just show up yourself and do pretty well

 

[roryb]

That is what i love about battlefield. Ghosts was OK Advanced warfare is OK too, nothing like the good ol' days on COD 4/MW2

 

[-Jamie-]

I had a discussion with a load of guys that i used to and starter playing online with on COD4 the other day, I would love them to remaster COD4 for next gen ALA Halo. Back to basics. Simple perks, No BS kill streak stuff.

There is none - get rid of it. Can't believe MS ever thought it would be a core part of the system. The only thing it is good for is snapping parties and launching stuff.

^^this tbh

I didn't even take mine out of the box. Sold it for £80 a month after I bought the console

There were some promising titles and developments in the pipeline for Kinect (which is actually a really smart piece of hardware). Sadly, as part of Microsoft's turnaround to appease the whining masses, the decision to essentially dis-kinect (see what I did there?) the Xbox console and the Kinect itself has killed it. As there is no longer a requirement to support Kinect those who were working on Kinect-centric titles simply dropped them as the market suddenly became too risky. A real shame after the efforts and technology that's gone into it; it's quite a bit more than just a gimmicky camera and microphone.

I love my Kinect. f**k using a controller to watch TV.

I like the head scanning tech 2K Sports put into NBA2K15. Tis awesome.

 

[roryb]

@-Jamie- i have been talking about that with my mates too!!! just wish they would! Even if it was exactly the same i would happily buy it

 

[Rhino172]

Lots on sale next week from the live store. Think I'll probably get kinect sports if it comes in under £20.

Or two

 

[Clart]

Haha yours not working either?

 

[Daz.]

Bit naughty of them to do that without warning isn't it?

 

[Marc.]

Hang on, so will my copy of FIFA 15 not work either? I bought it from the Live Store, just maybe whilst my Xbox was in India...

 

[Clart]

very much doubt it.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Has anyone got the Digital TV Tuner? Wondering if it's worth picking up... I don't have my Xbox yet (probably ordering next week) but does it have USB connections on the back? Really annoys me with the PS3 that I have to have the lead for the PlayTV sticking out the front

 

[DannyR]

Haha yours not working either?

No just want a code!

My brother keeps telling me to set my xbox as his home account and I'll get it, but I can't see it bring that easy?!

Back and sides

 

[CrippsCorner]

That's enough about your haircut.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Just ordered the limited edition white Xbox as I wanted one to go with my new retro white TV cabinet! Haven't played games in months actually... what's good? I'm thinking of Forza Horizon & Battlefield.

 

[JackJack]

I'd recommend horizon 2 and far cry 4.

 

[Tunst]

I cant see anything online about region locks on DLC and games etc

 

[CrippsCorner]

Oh yeah forgot about Far Cry, never played that series before but know it's meant to be alright. I'm not much of an online gamer so looking for good single player games

My FIFA 15 still works, and that was from the Indian Live Store.

GTA V

 

[CrippsCorner]

Already completed that on PS3. I know there's probably a few extra things on the current gen version but meh, can't be arsed going through it again.

I felt like that, then bought it for my XBone. It's actually really good, even the second time through.

 

[-Jamie-]

Ive got a copy of AC:Unity if anyone wants to swap for something else?

 

[SharkyUK]

Ori and the Blind Forest. Wow. Impeccable presentation and a beautiful layered visual style. Great animation and soundtrack. It is properly beautiful. It can be deviously difficult in places, and arguably doesn't bring anything new and/or novel to the platform genre, but it's stylish. Cliched at times but 15 quid I was happy to part with. If you enjoyed Limbo, Castlevania, Rayman or games of that ilk then check it out.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Heard about that today, looks great. But it's meant to be a bit like Child of Light? Didn't like that, very boring.

There are parallels in terms of visuals (2D / 2.5D) but there's no RPG-like elements or turn-based combat in Ori.

Where is the best place to see lists of new games due out?
I've got
AC Unity (haven't played since I got Forza Horizon)
AC Black Flag (Haven't even installed)
Forza Horizon (I've been hammering but getting a little bored)

I suppose Fifa might be an option. Not really interested in futuristic FPS either. I think the last FPS I really really got into was the original Ghost Recon. So anything like that?

 

[Daz.]

Wolfenstein is still a great FPS
