Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun with Forza Horizons 3 other than I can't quite get it to run at 60fps and the aforementioned inability to stream it to my TV. I'm only a couple hours into it, but it's a good game. I just unlocked online co-op play!
The sound is awesome. When you're off-road on a non-offroad car the audio makes you very aware of that fact

Destiny slaent post if ur ok
Yea, it's coming to PC. From what I'm told the decision to restructure was made thanks to a major memory ceiling being reached on last gen with regard to the Rise of Iron expansion, which was set to launch in the spring, not fall. Bungie decided to push out D2 since it was behind and needed much more iteration, and took advantage of the Rise of Iron delays to use that as the content stop gap for the fall of this year.
Destiny 2 is being overhauled so that they can build upon it in the future without having to work within the frame work limitations that D1 setup. Right now, the way things play out, they have to introduce playspaces so that players can engage in systems or activities, but it creates a huge barrier that must be overcome on both the networking & design side so, they're going to do more open playspaces that incorporate towns, outposts, etc into more common areas. This means fewer hardlines for areas and having them be gated by menus. Goal is to have players conducting things & making activity decisions while still in control of their character, instead of having to exit out into an activity hub. Think of how in WoW, you hit a button and queue into activities you want to do all while still playing your character.
Major narrative changes are on board for D2. Both in terms of plot direction, pacing & structure. Major focus is going to be on the Cabal & Saturn. Saturn is a playspace is set to be bigger than all of the playspaces currently implemented in the game combined. This is in large part of the scale of playspaces being redesigned, so it'll be both bigger & denser with activities. There's a reason Guardians take the fight to Saturn.
Major changes to the engine are occurring. Their render tech has gone through some major iteration thanks in large part to getting to approach it without having last-gen as a limit. Because of this, they are still undecided what, if any, of Destiny's old content, both in terms of playspace, areas, Strikes & raids, will be available through D2. There is talk in possibly allowing D1 remain as its own client, which flies against how Destiny currently operates, where as the new content renders the old client & content obsolete.
Live team has been going through some iteration so that they may continue to support Destiny with content after a major content drop, but they are stuck between a rock & a hard place. The live team is trying to support a game running on an old engine with its older tools, whereas the bulk of development is on the engine framework & enjoying new tools. Because of this, the Live team is largely handcuffed, so don't really expect a whole lot of post-launch content for D1 in the next year.
However, starting with the launch of D2, we will see far more substantial content dropping in the time between yearly releases, as the game & engine & live team have all been planned to support that going forward. Team is aware that they need more substantial content throughout the year, not just at the end of it.
If they do drop D1 content, it likely won't be permanent - they might reintroduce areas in a more 'D2' fleshed out way. So we might lose temporary access to these places, then regain it or have to fight back for control of it at a later point in the plot. This means we'll get to see older areas or activities through the perspective of the newer content, which also means the older areas might expand considerably by the time we get back to them, since the design goal for playspaces is to now make them both way bigger & way denser with activities.
Edit: New races & factions are planned. No idea on whats happening with regards to classes however. New enemies within factions are also going to be introduced. Take the Sions for the Cabal for example - they are going to get fleshed out in D2.

shame all these multiple protagonists in bf1 are all allied characters. Going to get that allied-centric "diversity" in the story.

By Smokey Go To PostDestiny 2 info from shinobiThis sounds great. I don't buy the rumor that they'd make it PC exclusive. That just reeks of shit 😂

I stayed up last night until 2am playing Horizon 3. I feel like shit today, lol. Too old to be doing that now.
I haven't seen that rumor anywhere and I wouldn't give it the time of day anyway.
This is Activision, how on Earth does that seem plausible to anybody.

The whole vibe of Watch Dogs 2 is just corny as hell. That dude with the LED mask on? Shit is dumb and not in a good way.
Played a bit of The Crew which you can get for free as part of Ubisofts 30th Anniversary promotion. Thought it would scratch my itch to get the new Forza. That story is also corny as hell. Your brother leads a gang called the 5-10. You are part of the gang and get framed for his murder by another gang and someone from the FBI. Someone else from the FBI gets you out of prison so you can use your driving skills to secretly infiltrate the gang you used to be in because it is now controlled by the people who killed your brother and framed you. Nobody will recognise you because apparently all the gang members are new. What? The leader of the gang is called the V8 and you need to earn your tattoos to go up the gangs ranks. Someone must have erased your old tattoo when you got arrested. The script is diabolically shit.
Gameplay starts off really badly with a couple of piss easy races whilst it introduces about 10 different things at once. Maybe it gets good when you start exploring the giant map and making the most of multiplayer but my game time is too limited these days. The graphics are shit and they offer you DLC with improved graphics. I got this game for free and still feel ripped off. A complete waste of gigabytes.

By CaCMasterFlex Go To PostThey make impressive E3 demos :lol
And ppl pay $60 for this just to say that they were there day one.
TBQH, Far Cry 3 was an improvement in many ways tho.
So this was too funny, I had to share it outside the Destiny thread. SLAENT clan's so good we kept getting mercies in Supremacy, and in this one match we were up by 60 & everyone on the other team just quit except two guys. So we all just started dancing until the timer ran out. Even our enemies want to get down with us:
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostRainbow Six absolutely could have looked that way on PC. I blame consoles.
AC Unity is top tier af on PC. Unfortunately it was too much for consoles. Syndicate looked like some last gen ish in comparison. Ubi will probably not be that ambitious again.
If y'all haven't seen AC Unity maxed out on PC, it's insane.

I played a hot 60 hours of The Crew: Wild Run (don't judge, I'm just obsessed with racing games.)
The story is beyond corny, it's bad in every way possible. The gameplay I did enjoy when I had the right cars - the way cars handle vary WILDY per car, in a way that just doesn't make any sense. My biggest issue with the game was while I had fun racing, the game is built around being connected and seeing other random people and racing with/against them, but the population of the community just made it impossible to get into actual races.
By the way has anyone being playing that 3 VS 3 Freestyle beta? It's the arcade basketball game. It's some of the most jank arcade basketball you'll ever play and its "great"
I kind of want to check out Smash N Grab. See what this shit they're not making Sleeping Dogs 2 over is.

what a time
why blatantly lie about that

People still act like not sending out review copies is instantly some ominous thing. Like it doesn't happen all the time.
Gerstmann even said on the Bombcast it happens less now than it used to.

That Mafia 3 demo looks identical to what they showed at e3 on the boat casino. You enter a room filled with brain dead goons, and waist high cover and you wipe everyone out, letting your health regenerate along the way.
The setting and lead seem original and interesting enough but there's nothing else there for me. $12 from Gamefly in six months after its inevitably patched a few times.

Yeah, setting looks interesting enough to make it worth playing even if the rest of the game is mediocre.
Might end up getting it just cos I'll have a bit of a lull between finishing FFVII and XV coming out.

I'm day 1 on Mafia. I can always have fun with those kinds of games and they don't make near enough of them anymore.
By data Go To PostI'm day 1 on Mafia. I can always have fun with those kinds of games and they don't make near enough of them anymore.Agree! Looks great too*
Mafia is already fairly cheap on some cd key sites I noticed. It looks good, but will wait a bit for impressions and the 10 euro deal that will come quickly enough.
By data Go To PostI'm day 1 on Mafia. I can always have fun with those kinds of games and they don't make near enough of them anymore.I'll give you that. It's a third person, open world single player game that's story driven. Those are becoming few and far between depending on your taste. Black lead where the time period puts race front and center definitely makes it unique too.
I don't know, maybe I have The Order still on my mind, which I recently played for about an hour before giving up because I didn't want to deal with the same shooting situations over and over again for hours.
This fourth quarter outside of the FPS franchises and Gears does look a little thin compared to years past. I think I'm only sold on TLG and interested in Cod 4 remaster.
Not an RPG person; thought new Tomb Raider was horrible; wouldn't touch Watch Dog's; and I'm not ready for VR, so there's not much left. Dying to try Gwent though and will probably pickup football manager for the first time in year's.
Also, is there no new Assassin's Creed this year? How did I miss that? I haven't played the series since Brotherhood which is being re-released in their Enzio remaster collection, but it seems odd that Ubi is only coming with Watch Dog's and that new snowboarding game, Steep for Nov/Dec, yet EA are pitting Battlefield against Titan Fall 2 within ten days of each other. I have no clue how game publishing works.

I don't understand the decision about Titanfall 2 either, should have just released it in August or next year.
What about Dishonored 2, that might be interesting for you ?
And if you haven't played the PC version, you should consider XCOM 2 that was just released.
