TLOU Remastered

Ooooooooo

Remastered!

If it's backwards compatible then maybe hold out for the PS5.

@Soul can you loan me yours? 😂

Sure thing. Just send me £600 and I’ll let you borrow it for as long as you want.

then do Operation Anchorage for early Power Armour.

Okay now that I got a Razer Blade 15, in very tempted to do FO3, NV and 4 all over again

it's free if you get ps+ too

On another note Outer Wilds is great, highly recommended if you like a physics and space exploration, puzzle solving game. Just don't read any spoilers before playing

Its on ps4 too

Edit: missed last page with this info already given!

Looks like Burnout Paradise is finally at an almost acceptable price on Switch for 25 EUR on sale

Yes, it's great!

On the GTA note, I've recently started playing through GTAV & GTA4 (TBoGT) and definitely think 4 is the better game. It must be said I seem to be in the minority that actually enjoyed the shift in vehicle physics that came with 4.

I really couldn’t get into V. Think I finished it but couldn’t tell you a thing that happened. I really didn’t like the character switching thing which played a lot into my just not enjoying it.

Still waiting for my brother to post my turbo to me, desperate to try it.

Looks like they've just added support for the Tacx Blacktrack too, could be a fun addition to give you proper free roaming

Any Monster Hunter fans?

I’ve only played MH4 Ultimate on 3DS.
That was my first anf only entry of the series and put it quite a few hours into it (both solo and online).

The MH Rise Demo for Switch is out a looks like it’s gonna be quite a fun again and will be most probably getting it.

If anyone else is planning on getting the Rise, happy to team up :)

I'm using an Xbox controller for steering. Quite good fun to steer offroad courses (there's one round a gravel mine which is really good) but a bit tedious on long routes where I have to keep tweaking the controller to stay on a straight road, so I turn auto-steer on. Although it can glitch a bit sometimes.

Probably feels more natural with 'proper' steering device though.

Just did a loop of the whole island, took just over an hour at easy pace. Note I'm in primary position, amusingly when you do that the cars treat you like a car and only overtake you if it's safe, but you get close-passed if you ride in the gutter ;-)

I still have MH Freedom on my old OG PSP.

Got it up and working again the other day.

Tried the Rise demo on the switch.

I've never understood how the monsters are so tuff.

Strangely addictive tho.

Never got round to checking it out, really should. I reckon head tracking would work really well for steering, just look where you want to go.

Yep! Why not till you get another console?

Any ps now recommendations? Just got a positive result and I can't do my job from home. I'm on for some mega guilt free gaming

Have just finished horizon, which was probably one of my favourite ever games. How's bloodborne?

Finished off Far Cry 5 yesterday. Really enjoyed the whole thing. Completed all of the missions and don't think any of it felt like it was dragging, even the collect missions once I unlocked the airdrop perk as I enjoyed flying into the locations with the wing suit. Will look at getting New Dawn at some point, will leave it a while though as I think the gameplay will be pretty much the same so might feel more like DLC. There were a lot of nice touches throughout that brought a rising level of tension and overall doom like the news announcements on the radio when driving the cars and stuff. Having already read the back of the New Dawn box when I was deciding which one to originally buy I did have a vague idea of what would happen in the end which turned out to be pretty much on the money, but didn't really take away from the whole journey of the game.

just had a look at the list on google.

stick it to the man was quite enjoyable if you like puzzly platformers . the mechanics were quite fun in a gimmicky way too and it's pretty short

If you like shooting things the borderlands games are good fun too with a very nice balance of humour and weirdness

Bloodborne is nails, if you like that sort of thing.
I prefer the Souls games (which, sadly, are not on Now) but probably worth a bash if you have free time on your hands.

The Surge is similar style to those too, and I enjoyed that for a spell.

Aside from those, Saints Row is purile-yet-enjoyable session of nonsense
Doom for shooty shooty

Bioshocks are fun too

If you like sports games, EA Play (for £20/year) has the 2020 series available (FIFA, NHL, American sportsball) plus Burnout Paradise, Jedi Fallen Order and other stuff.

A bit of quick searching says there are already head tracking mods for GTA V, but don't think anyone has tried with GTA Bike V.

I'm not actually sure why it needs a mod at all - I would have thought the head tracking input just emulates control inputs, e.g. A and D keys or controller left-right axis?

I do need to do a bit more tweaking though - as you can see from screenshots, first person view is looking too much at the road and not enough at scenery, apparently that can be fixed.

Finally over the shame of doing this a few weeks ago in Apex, so here's a clip that goes from minor-win to major epic fail. never thrown a game so hard before.

@chrisbmx116 some new monitors on that stream if vaporware spectrum turns out to be vaporware after all.

Also 3060 / 3070 / 3080 in laptops..

After last nights performance I'm throwing my PC in the bin.

PUBG rounds were not much to write home about either!
