Interesting topic; out of interest, are you a videogame translator?
My list is the same, except I would substitute Ori and The Blind Forest for Mad Max
great blog; thanks for taking the time to compile this list.
I've gotten heavily into the retro gaming scene this year and I feel privileged to live in an age where we can still experience these games of old (through emulation or original hardware) relatively easily.
I agree; PSVR will no doubt be a more accessible platform for gamers who don't want to spend money hand over fist building sim rigs. No doubt Sony has plenty more tricks up their sleeve to wow consumers when the device eventually launches.
Very insightful blog; thanks for sharing.
I do actually think some VR experiences are revolutionary, although I can't vouch for PSVR at this point.
Out of curisority, do you own - or have you tried - any other VR headsets to compare to PSVR?
I bought an Oculus Rift DK2 earlier this year to play Elite Dangerous. I have to say it still has the ability to give me goosebumps at the level of immersion I can achieve (granted I have a HOTAS fli...
I built a PC to play DayZ back in 2012
I also bought a Wii U so I could try out ZombieU
I'm thankful that I live in a beautiful part of the world in an enlightened age.
Good luck everyone.
I plan to submit a few reviews/blogs this month and I'm looking forward to reading the content you guys produce.
How many bubbles have I got?
Great review; thanks for sharing.
This is the definitive edition of a great console survival experience. The permadeath feature and simulated persistence add lots of value, and the two expansions allow you to craft your own unique experiences with every play session.
Very intrigued; can't wait to try this out.
EDIT: Article says it is only rift compatible for Mac? Can anyone confirm? I'm on PC.
I’m also rather concerned at the unnecessary hype being ladled onto this title.
It looks fantastic and I’m sure everyone will enjoy it, but we’re running the risk of leaving the developers with an impossible promise to fulfil.
I’ve been playing Elite: Dangerous since the closed Beta and whilst it is easily my GOTY 2014, there comes a point where you soon realise the boundaries and limitations of such an open sandbox universe.
I’d encourage retro fans with a decent PC to snag a free copy of NewRetroArcade while it’s still available.
It’s a tech demo made to showcase the power of the Unreal4 engine in tandem with the Oculus Rift DK2, but it’s just as fun on a monitor. It features an 80’s neon arcade for players to explore, replete with cabinets loaded up with ROMS of all the old favourites. The games load and save instantly so you can pick up where you left off. There’s even a working SNES and doz...
Agreed; I too had similar concerns, however I know a few hard-core gamers who picked up a WiiU in Q4 because Nintendo's exclusives were too good to miss out on.
This year’s releases have been disappointing for all formats with the exception of Wii U and 3DS, but I still think the Vita is an amazing bit of kit.
Sure, it gathers dust in the cradle for 25 days out of every month, but when I’m on the road it really comes into its own. Killzone, Borderlands, Minecraft – plus tonnes of RPGs with plenty of replay value.
Then when I arrive at my destination, I can remote boot my PS4 and dive into games like GTA5 and Far...
There was a similar scam in my home town a few years back; a gang were selling 360s at knock down prices in the classifieds. It was only when someone checked and found two house bricks in the box that the police had to put out a statement. Many of them had already been wrapped and put under the tree.
Agreed; I would always opt for the digital version of any entertainment media. My shelves crammed full of books, CDs, DVDs and videgames is long gone, liberated by cloud services that allow me to access all my content when and where I want. My living room is also much tidier.
There does need to be greater clarity; the onus is on the websites and their employees who get paid to attend these lavish events.
I work in an average office/corporate environment and we have a clear Gifts & Entertainment Policy; we are not allowed to accept anything that could be seen as prejudicial to the integrity of our work and everything needs to be documented and disclosed to avoid a conflict of interest.
I would respect a site much more if ...
Worthy winners this month; congrats.
I’m really excited to see where 2016 takes console gaming. As someone who games on all platforms I can’t wait to experience Sony’s VR headset as well as Microsoft’s Hololens augmented reality glasses. I truly believe these HMDs could change the way we play on our consoles.
As someone who invested in an Oculus Rift DK2 last year (and has recently pre-ordered a CV1) I have to say once you experience these immersive environments first hand, it’s tough to go back to 2D gaming. ...
