Congrats on the release guys. I haven't bought it yet because I bought BF1 and Civ 6 this month, but definitely going to get it next month or for Xmas.

The world might be smaller than you think, but the games industry is smaller. Funny thing was we talked for about 15 mins before realizing 'who we were', haha!

That's awesome! I bumped into Vivi at E3... I was walking in to the convention centre with some colleagues and all of a sudden I heard someone calling my name... I turned round and I was like errrm, who's this guy shouting my name? Then all of a sudden it clicked! It was awesome to finally put a face and a voice to the name

I think Vivi is secretly stalking everyone on Mapcore. He's trying to assemble the Mapcore Avengers...

Cool! Kinda hoping it's very 'System Shock' gameplay-wise.

What's the point in not publishing the review? That's a bit weird. It's not like there's tons of gaming news every single day

How you finding it Puddy? I'm really enjoying it. The art style is brilliant, and the way the music evolves as you play is fantastic.

Did my first religious victory last night, that was really good fun!

How you guys finding it so far? Watched 4 so far and I'm really enjoying this new series. Gonna watch the other 2 over the next couple of nights. Can't wait!

Spoiler

EP 1 - I thought this one was fascinating. Beautifully shot, and with a real message that resonates even now. Social media takes over so much of our lives these days, so it's fascinating to think about how it could evolve in the future.

EP 2 - I thought this was really mediocre. Wasn't very believable, but maybe that's because we know how games companies work! Just felt it didn't really go anywhere and the characters didn't really grip me.

EP 3 - This one was awesome! Great performances by Bronn and the main kid, with a really interesting twist at the end. Very intriguing idea for a story. EP 4 - Wow, this one really came out of nowhere. Completely different to the rest and it's really refreshing to see an interesting vision of the future that isn't as horrific as Charlie Brooker's other stories tend to be! This was actually a really interesting application of technology in the future. After losing both my grandads this year, this episode really touched me. Beautifully shot, beautiful score, and brilliant performances by the main actors. My favourite so far.

Yeah I'm a big Smoke Grenade fan. My mates always moan that I'm blocking them from taking shots at the enemy... but I'm blocking the enemy from shooting us

Many have realistic terrain with very scarce and low cover and allow for tremendously long sight lines. Furthermore, many levels have a sort of bowl shape, where the center of the map is surrounded by elevated ares, which allows snipers to lie on the outskirts and scrutinize the center, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

Haha nice War of the Worlds ref

But yeah, agreed. I wish they'd incorporate more cover into the levels. It's really cool to have these vast open spaces and actually, I guess it kinda reflects WW1 quite realistically, but it makes for frustrating gameplay. I'm really enjoying this game but I'm finding it to be a little more frustrating than I expected, I seem to get sniped a lot out of nowhere.

This game is such a sniperfest

Yeah the fucking servers are down. ._.

Love it. Can't wait to find out more info. ARRGH NINTENDO Y U SO GOOD

Don't buy Premium until they actually say what they're doing for DLC. It'll go down in price too.

I think Subnautica is quite a good example of a well crafted world with similar-ish gameplay, and look how long that's taken and that's just one world. Now do that same thing for an entire planet, FOUR HUNDRED TIMES. Mental.

I hope they pull it off too but I imagine most planets will feel quite sparse.

I hope there aren't 7 playable characters. I hope it's more along the lines of you play as one character but you have to try and assemble a posse/gang. That could be so cool!

Pampers what did you work on again?

Been watching more footage of both SP and MP and it really does look like it's going to be an incredible game. Can't wait to jump in next week.

Absolutely man, you gotta have skepticism with everything. But sometimes you gotta just enjoy the hype and hope that the potential gets fulfilled. Can't a man DREAM?!

Best of luck on the project dude!

Nice one dude! You got a ton of haters but you just gotta ignore them. Bunch of entitled wankers.

Do you work with Luke Adwick by the way? He's an old friend of mine from Frontier and he's just started last month. Say hello to him from me!

But... try and set aside any opinions you might have on the Star Citizen / games industry telenovela, and watch this clip

I saw this the other day, I'm simply blown away by it. I know it's easy to jump onboard the negative bandwagon, but I absolutely love the sheer scope of this game. Well done to Chris Roberts, I wish him and the team all the success in the world! Hope they pull it off.

Just saw this gameplay footage of BF1. Me and my mate were sat watching this and then this beautiful gem happened... Fucking LOL!
