Definitely addressing a gap in the market here. Innovative and full of promise.
Sounds like a very interesting device; there's certainly market appetite for something like this.
I'm not brave enough to attempt any homebrew modding, but if this can do it for me without voiding any warranties, I'm intrigued.
Agreed; the drawn out story length is the only thing keeping it away from greatness.
I've just loaned the game to my friend and there's certain sections I wish I could cut in order to maximise his enjoyment.
Perhaps Sega / Creative Assembly will release a "Director's Cut" (",)
Frontier are doing such a great job of developing this game out in the open; releasing regular updates, listening to the community, pouncing on bugs and improving and refining Elite Dangerous with every iteration. This game has taken me back to my childhood – suddenly my desk is swamped with peripherals like HOTAS controllers and head tracking devices.
I’m seriously considering getting an Oculus Rift just for this game – that’s how much I’m having with it.
I too have mixed feelings about Gamergate. Anyone who puts themselves in the public eye should realise that they may be held up to scrutiny under a very harsh lens.
I have long believed that journalism in this industry lacks any real ethics or moral compass; it’s certainly nowhere near as regulated as the mainstream press.
But I also fear that Gamergate has been hijacked; that the very people portraying themselves as the victims of this movement are using...
Shareplay has a lot of potential.
Developers can use it as a virtual expo, allowing audiences to 'queue up' to try out a new title remotely, in the same way they would when attending an event in person.
Happy Halloween Everyone! (or Hop-Tu-Naa as it's known in my neck of the woods)
UK - Frontier Developments, for the work they're currently doing on Elite: Dangerous.

The modding community is what keeps me gaming on PC
The west is still waiting for a taste of DQX on Wii U; that console is crying out for a MMORPG
I would welcome Rockstar’s take on the apocalypse – Undead Nightmare was my favourite piece of DLC last gen.
I remember somebody made an “I Am Legend” mod for GTAIV on PC back in the day (in a similar vein to how DayZ was created). It was a great idea and a fun twist on urban survival.
The original Silent Hill? Yes, but it’s been a long time and my memories of the experience have faded. I guess Shattered Memories just sticks out in my memory for the unique features I’ve outlined above.
I might revisit the original on the PS store at some point, but would also recommend any Wii(U) owners out there who haven’t played Shattered Memories to snag a copy from their nearest bargain bin.
Shattered Memories for me; the innovative control scheme added to the immersion, with the Wii controller acting as your torch and ingame cell phone – those voicemails being piped through the controller speaker still give me chills.
The utter silence throughout most of the game was almost dreamlike; the only sound you could hear was your own footfalls in the snow. And, as with the scariest nightmares, the fact that there was no combat only added to the sense of dread and hel...
1. Games – this sounds facetious, but games sell consoles. They need to build out the catalogue. Give us some variation; something to get our teeth into, like a good MMORPG experience that plays to the console’s strengths (the gamepad is a fantastic piece of tech that is still being underutilised). There’s a rebooted Xenoblade Chronicles, another Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest X on the horizon, but little else for me to get excited about.
Congrats to all the winners.
Thanks N4G for an amazing month.
My friend and I are in the gestation stage of developing Yogurt Simulator Deluxe.
Very interesting.
Gaming as an industry is just like any other. Palm's get greased; deals get struck; money gets made.
But these days there's another crucial ingredient: integrity. This's what the most popular streamers/YTers have; it's how they build strong communities. And I'd like to think that it can't be bought.
Shady corporate culture is uncovered almost instantly nowadays. Reputations can be quickly ruined. Pe...
I've added Gone North Games to my list of up'n'coming devs.
I'll be blogging about ASAMU shortly.
Looking forward to following their future endeavours.
Always interesting to read ‘breaking-in’ stories; thanks for sharing. (“,)
I moved away from CoD a couple of years ago as the Battlefield franchise grew. Last CoD I bought was Black Ops II which is still in the cellophane.
However, I think I’m swinging back towards CoD this year, as I’ve come to recognise it for what it is: a fun shooter that offers a brief distraction when needed and lets me catch up with friends. It does exactly what it says on the tin. Much like enjoying a quick race on Mario Kart or a short match on Fifa, I’ll just dip in and ...
