Meh

Third person mode looks cool

God excited to see Goldeneye coming to Xbox and Gamepass, but no online play. Meh.

Deathloop finally out next though after the whole exclusivity thing, hoorah

Looks like the switch version will have multiplayer which is exciting

I've seen that they're giving consoles an FoV slider of sorts (though they've said that before), so that's a step in the right direction.

Did they say if Warzone 2 was going to be a current gen title or are console players still going to have to load up a previous gen game?

I haven't played all year as was fed up with the BS but could easily be pulled back in if they sorted it!

Not sure how the FOV slider will compare to PC but I'd like to see parity.

Warzone 2 will be it's own platform. I think they realised that the old one being linked to mw2019 was a fuck up. There were always issues on both ends (war zone and mw) when they did a big update.

I was on the fence last night. A lot of the streamers/pros have complaints about warzone. Recoil is a bit intimidating but that might get ironed out. Anyway, a few beers later and I've bought it.

I'm more of an mp player anyways, I guess when warzone is out (mid November) you can always give it a blast for free. Movement is quite different. I like the look of the water gameplay.

Deathloop finally out next

Yes, been waiting for this!

Self built hitbox is coming along but the araldite was a lot messier than I expected. Still got a few little bits to sort out, mainly a couple of headers for the board so I can solder in a couple of leds. Also I need to work out a way of attaching the bottom of the case in a way that's easy to remove again. I'm thinking magnets. I've got some sheaths for the wires in the post then I'll sort out proper lengths for them and glue in some mounts for the board.

Looking forward to seeing the end product
Always fancied a proper fightstick, not that I am particularly good at fighting games, but I do love a bit of Tekken

Likewise but for switch, though so weird Xbox gets a remastered version but no multiplayer, and vice-versa for The switch

and vice-versa for The switch

So the Switch gets a non-remastered version with multilayer?

I believe so.

Picked up a series x this week and planning to get game pass once plugged in - any must-have games on there? I like most genres but probably looking for things that can be picked up and put down at short notice!

My 2 fav games to jump on and off are COD and Tekken.

There's loads of stuff on gamepass. Currently I'm playing Deep Rock Galactic. Apex Legends is a always good. The Aliens Fireteam shooter is fun for a while too.

I'm enjoying immortals fenyx rising when I get a few spare moments, some some decent RPG fighting and puzzling with a slightly wry ancient Greek theme.

Going to have to give Hardspace Shipbreaker a try. Game mechanics look fun enough, but also the theme is labour exploitation and dangerous working conditions - in space. Your character is basically in indentured servitude, trying to earn their freedom. Labour relations, health and safety, slicing spaceships apart, all sounds good.

And some clever person has done a VR mod for it.

Didn't realise that there was a bit of plot to this, downloaded it this morning after seeing your post and played a bit at lunch. Seems to be quite interesting so will keep going I think.

I played a fair bit last night- its a pretty zen game!

I'd definitely recommend the infinite oxygen mode though - got really annoyed at the pressure of refilling oxygen while sorting my alu and nanocarbons

I can see how that would only add to the stress of being billions of $$$ in debt.

Was looking for something in my garage room and found an old Game Bay Advance SP (flippy screen one)

Not seen this in years, flipped the switch and it turned on!
Battery light was on immediately but impressed that it has sat untouched for many years and still holds a charge.

Need to find a charging cable next.

Edit: can't find the charger, but I did find a DS!
Also started up!

Next to find is teh 3DS that somewhere buried, and I will have a full set of Nintendo hand held consoles
(GB Pocket and Switch are in known locations)

Does anyone know a way I could possibly rent a system to play Half-life Alyx? No interest in owning a gaming PC or a VR headset, but do want to play this game.

Or should I just buy a second-hand gaming laptop and occulus rift, play it, and then sell them?

have you tried blockbusters? I rented a playstation from them once.

Wow does Blockbusters still exist
