All the videos I've seen on this look really nice art wise. Lots of colour and light. Makes me want to go on holiday!

I think this looks just how my young mind saw it back in the day when I first played the demo on my PS1. Nailed it.

It's fully online with dozens of people (Dedicated servers!) but you can still play offline in single player if you wish. Map is 4x the size of FO4's map and you can build settlements with your friends which you can then move to anywhere you want on the map. There looks to be a few different biomes and new enemies and nuke silos dotted around the map which you can find launch codes for to use against enemies/players. What I like about the nukes is they leave behind a wasteland area with high end materials inside it.

I'm glad it still looks like Fallout underneath it all though. I probably won't bother with the building aspect but it'll be fun to play with my friends. Looking forward to 14th November!

Cam into work and this was right at the top of Reddit for me. Nice surprise!

That looks sick! After the Witcher series gotta be a day one from me too!

Just watched the full documentary and enjoyed it.

Sure their games are buggy sometimes and I'm kind of worried at the direction FO76 might be going in but the documentary made me a little less worried. E3 isn't far away now so I guess I don't have to worry for too long

i think most interesting info is the game should be set the earliest ever in the series (curious to see how they make it brighter as it looks it is and don’t mess up with previous material), and they suggest the mission of the people I in this vault is to “rebuild”, so @Beck sounds like the game could be centered around the mechanic. I mean considering the mechanic was very prominent in F4, and the success of games like Fortnite, I wouldn’t imagine them making this less relevant.

Yeah a lot of the "leaks" seem to be pointing in that direction. I ignored it in FO4 except for the mandatory quest near the start and for the most part it didn't affect me. I know you could get some of the best traders by building up your towns which kind of sucked and I saw some other people complaining that there were a lack of hub towns in FO4 since Bethesda wanted you to build your own in the different locations.

If this game centres around the building aspect I might just skip it. That's not Fallout for me.

I was excited when I first saw the trailer, in the run up to the release I was waiting to be disappointed with a remake or something like a new Fallout Shelter. Now I'm not so excited again since a lot of people are quoting sources saying it's going to be like Rust or online and include lots of building (I hate building stuff in games).

I guess E3 will tell us more.

If that Elder Scrolls info above is true too then I'll be doubly sad!

Fuck that guy. Wouldn't wish cancer on anyone and he was praising his passing because he criticised some games he worked on. Who the fuck does that?

I think TB did some great reviews and enjoyed his WTF is... videos for those smaller, niche or indie titles I knew nothing about. He was usually bang on with what he said.

RIP.

There's a couple of level designer roles open here in the Oxford studio. If anyone's interested give me a shout and I'll hook you up

Story trailer and release date announced:

You probably all heard over the weekend but Shenmue 1 and 2 are getting a HD release on the PS4, XBone and PC sometime this year.

I want to get this but a lot of people are saying it gets repetitive after a couple hours. I know it's kinda a sandbox and it does look amazing (dat water omg) but I think I'll wait for a bit more content to drop further down the road I think.

It's crazy how powerful lobbying is in the American political system. Why do they allow companies/corporations to pay tens of thousand of dollars to a politician who then goes on to push through what that company wants. They're all so scared of losing that money the NRA gives them.

I've been playing violent video games since GTA 1, I was 9 when that came out, and I've never even been in a fight lol.

It's a fun game I just don't have enough time to play all these shooters

Just got R6: SIege with some friends so that's gonna take up a lot of time along with OW and PUBG and some other games.

First world problems.

Yeah, it sucks but it's life. Sprony did contact me (and others) to explain and such and I've got no hard feelings.

Sucks my interview is gone as I really enjoyed doing it and reading peoples responses. Maybe there will be another sometime soon

Completed Shadow of the Colossus over the weekend. My first time playing the game and it was very pretty on the PS4. Some of the best looking rocks I've seen in a game!

I went in with some pretty high expectations though, everyone raves about the game! But I was a little let down that the game was literally just boss fight after boss fight. I expected more at the end or something a bit different. The boss fights were alright but at the end of the day the mechanics were all pretty similar between them all. Climb on, stab it, climb some more, stab some more, dead.

I imagine there’s stuff from @Beck inside

Forgot to post that here! Thanks for sticking it in here.

None of my levels were shown, but I did do collision work on one of those levels but you can't really see that

Hope we do more stuff like this for future games, I would have done this one but I was on holiday when it was made!
