Honestly, I'm expecting GOTY material with DA:I right now. I know some people will probably be a little cautious about it after DA2 but I'm betting it'll be a surprise hit for a lot of folk if they give it a chance. I hope so anyway as it really does look fantastic, the more I see of it the more excited and convinced I get.

Still some other big hitters to come mind so it's going to have some tough competition. October's lineup looks pretty amazing with this, Assassin's Creed Unity, The Evil Within, Driveclub, Alien: Isolation and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
My top 3 games for the year so far would probably be South Park, Watch Dogs & WildStar but at this moment in time I'm expecting my GOTY to be either AC Unity or DA:I.

In other news..
Going to be grabbing Valiant Hearts: The Great War later on today I think :)

Already ordered Shadow of Mordor. Looks very impressive! :)

Don't know whether to get this for PC or PS4 tbh. If I could run it at max I'd go for PC for sure but I know I'm not going to be able to do that until I (hopefully) upgrade at the beginning of next year. Not sure whether my current system would match both the performance and graphics of the PS4 version or whether it'd be better/worse. hmm.


Lords of the Fallen confirmed for October 31st too btw.
October be crazy lol.

I've preordered DA, despite my skepticism. If it's bad we shall not speak again :p

Seriously though, hope they can deliver on the promise of Origins but I doubt it. We'll see. It'll have a high bar to beat in Shadows of Mordor that's for sure!

Really does seem like a massive step up though so hopefully we won't be left feeling disappointed. I'll be pre-ordering as soon as I've made my mind up as to which platform I'm best getting it for.

Just read that the PS4 release of The Last of Us will have a photo mode similar to inFamous: Second Son!. Expect some screenies from me when it releases in 2 weeks ;D
In addition to using cutscene-resolution character models during gameplay, The Last of Us Remastered features twice as much detail in shadow mapping as the original PS3 game, and four times as much detail in texture mapping.
It's all gorgeous, and Monacelli told Polygon that Naughty Dog plans to add a photo mode like the one in Infamous: Second Son with a launch-day patch, so players can share shots of beautiful vistas.
etc etc. http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/16/590298 ... w-graphics

and at 60fps / 1080p. mmmm
Can't wait to replay it ^^

Honestly surprised people are going to buy TLOU Remastered. Improved graphics really aren't worth that for me - but hey, each to their own!

Look forward to your screenshots as ever mate - you've got a real knack for them :)

The way I look at it is, if you're a fan of something (and as long as you're not paying through the nose) why wouldn't you want to have it in the best quality available? :)

I've upgraded several music albums over the years when they have been remastered with superior audio and extras, replaced my VHS collection to DVD for that bump in quality and new format and then again (for some, not all) replaced DVDs with Blu-rays for a better, high definition experience (both video & audio). Same for upgrading some of my console games to PC copies in the past when I knew they would both run and look better on this platform, once I had a system capable of running them at their max.
The only real difference with The Last of Us Remastered is it's releasing only a year after the PS3 version but then the new consoles launched not that long after it so it kinda makes sense, especially considering some of the PS4s audience switched over from Xbox and so didn't get to play it on PS3. Still, like with the other examples it still comes with a bump in quality with higher resolution character models, textures, lighting, shadows etc, increased resolution (720p > 1080p) and a better framerate (30fps > 60fps) as well as the addition of ingame commentaries and comes bundled with the Left Behind DLC. (Not to forget the photo mode which I know I'll be using a lot of haha)

If it was going to cost £40 - £50 like most other current gen console releases I may have held off but at £29.97 I'm not complaining. Considering I got around £15 for my PS3 copy back when this was confirmed and the Left Behind DLC costs £11.99 to buy separately on PS3 (which I held off from buying when this was rumoured), tis not bad at all really!


Each to their own though as you say. As long as a remaster (of anything) doesn't cost a fortune and I have the means to play/listen/watch it, I'll usually upgrade at some point. Keeping the superior copy and selling/trading in the old. That is unless a release gets butchered or it doesn't really offer much of an improvement, in which case I don't bother :)

Meh, why does there have to be such a big price difference between PC copies & console ones?

The Evil Within
£24.85 PC
£46.99 PS4/XB1

Lords of the Fallen
£29.86 PC
£47.99 PS4/XB1

But then you get others like DA:I and ACU where (admittedly since the PCs base price is higher) there's only £5-6 difference. Crazy.

So far (for Oct releases) I've decided to get: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor & Alien: Isolation for PC with Dragon Age: Inquisition and Assassin's Creed Unity for PS4, since I'm thinking my system will handle the first 2 much better than the latter 2. Already pre-ordered all of those.
I'm not sure which platform to get The Evil Within or Lords of the Fallen for though?. Tis hard to tell just how demanding they will be and the price difference makes the decision harder since PS4 is nearly double that of the PC version for The Evil Within. Hmmm.

Next gen prices are ridiculous. £50 for a game is absurd.

One good reason why PC will always remain my primary platform :blank:

Will get The Evil Within for PC too I think. It is from one of the masters of survival horror (I'm looking forward to it a little more than Alien: Isolation for that reason), but to pay almost double the price of the PC version to then be disappointed... would be a bit of a risk even if I'd have the advantage of trade-ins on PS4. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it runs alright on my PC.
May wait on reviews for Lords of the Fallen and then decide. Will be busy working my way through all the other Oct releases anyway by the time that hits heh.

Looks pretty damn great on PS4 ^^
Runs at 60 frames by default but you can lock it to 30 as well for those who prefer that. I never had a problem playing the PS3 version with its 30fps (and even then the frame rate wasn't always consistent and often took dives) since we didn't know any different. Trying to go back to 30fps now after I've played it at 60?. Ugh lol. This has been silky smooth too.
(All of those pics are gameplay btw, no cutscenes)

Will post a few more another day since I've only just met Bill :thumb:

The backgrounds, the environment, more than anything look like they've made such a step up. The first two pictures in particular look outstanding to me.

Sure that when you're playing the characters and your interactions stand out more, but they play second fiddle to the environment for me here. First time in a long time I can say that about a game.

Oh yeah....if you could remove the character models, and just shoot the scenery every time, I'd probably hang those all over my house lol

Only negative comment I'd have is the eyes! Such a shame that games still can't get character eyes right. It's the one thing that always stand out as fake no matter how good graphics get :( Other than that - stunning.

And yeah, I will be fixing the "layout breaking" thing with images on the forum soon(TM). Working on a code upgrade that should do the trick when I have free time!

Aye, the eyes don't look as realistic up close like that and can also look a little.. static at times perhaps.
In cutscenes they convey a lot more emotion though I think:
Image
One thing's for sure. If they can pull these kinda visuals and performance off on a remastered PS3 title, Uncharted 4 is going to look phenomenal in action. (It still impresses me how good Uncharted 2 & 3 looked to begin with, given the hardware they were running on)

Anyway.. TLOU Remastered now finished. Going to start the Left Behind DLC tonight methinks. Quite excited to see what that's like as I didn't play that on PS3 and is supposed to be very good.
Also heard a lot of good things about its multiplayer as well (which I didn't try before either) so I may give that a whirl afterwards too. Will see...

This looks pretty cool, as I said on IRC.

I might pick this up :)

So there's two big months ahead of us in terms of video game releases. Which games are you guys going to be playing? Day one, depending on reviews, later on.. whatever :)

OCTOBER
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Alien: Isolation
Driveclub
Project Spark
Ryse: Son of Rome
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
The Evil Within
Lords of the Fallen
Sunset Overdrive
Bayonetta 2

NOVEMBER
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Assassin's Creed Unity
The Crew
Tropico 5
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor
Grand Theft Auto V (PC/PS4/XBO version supposedly hitting)
Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Far Cry 4
LittleBigPlanet 3
Project CARS

For me...
October will be: Shadow of Mordor (PC), Alien (PC), Driveclub (PS4), The Evil Within (PC) & Lords of the Fallen (PC).
I may wait for player impressions on one or both of the latter two games. My interest for them is definitely there, they're just the ones I'm a little more wary of. If I don't get them during October I'll grab them in a sale at Christmas though if I can. Not really bothered about Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel since it's Handsome Jack again and last gen only (screw that) so my thinking right now is that I will skip this one. Then again I may grab in a sale next year or something since it's linked to BL2 which was great. (Would have bought Sunset Overdrive as well but I ain't buying an Xbone to play it on. Maybe it'll come to PC at some point like Ryse & Dead Rising 3? lol)

November will be: CoD:AW (PS4), AC Unity (PS4), DA:Inquisition (PS4), Far Cry 4 (PC), Grand Theft Auto V (PS4) & Dreamfall Chapters (PC).
It has been 5 years since I played a CoD game and with no Battlefield release this year I'll be getting CoD:AW for the multiplayer methinks. I'm generally more suited to the Battlefield style of play (and with the bigger maps and vehicles) but I've had a lot of fun with CoD multi in the past too. I always prefer shooters on PC but the last 3 (?) CoD PC versions have ran like shit from what I understand and there will be more players on the consoles for multiplayer too so I'm gonna go with PS4. Not really interested in AC Rogue since it's sailing again and last gen only but if it comes to PC next year or whatever I may grab it then. AC Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4 & GTA V (rumoured for Nov) will all be day one and my most anticipated out of the upcoming titles for the rest of this year. AC:U, DA:I & GTAV on PS4 as I don't plan to have upgraded by then (but in time for TW3) and If I can't play them maxed out on PC and I'm having to turn shit down to run them then why bother?. I can trade my console copies in for PC once I've upgraded.. Last but not least, I backed the Dreamfall Chapters kickstarter last year too so I'll also get a key for that when it's released, though I don't plan to play that until I'm done with the rest of the Oct/Nov releases.

I have the following on order from those two months:

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Assassin's Creed Unity
Dragon Age: Inquisition

I will probably pick up Alien: Isolation too. And I'm planning on getting a PS4 by the end of the year, so will obviously have more to pick up then!

I'm really annoyed that Assassins Creed Rogue isn't coming to PC too...far more interested in that than I am Unity!

Really? I couldn't be more the opposite tbh with you :)
  • UNITY:
    [*]Developed for next-gen only (or current-gen rather)
    [*]Missions adapt to how you're playing them. No more having to complete a mission a specific way like previous and no more auto-fail if you screw up.
    [*]Improved and harder combat
    [*]Skill tree
    [*]Great looking stealth and cover system
    [*]Building interiors you can actually make use of
    [*]Co-op missions
    [*]Revamped traversal/parkour movement
    [*]Support for having thousands of NPCs on-screen at the same time
    [*]etc!

Rogue looks alright and all (and I'd want to play it if only for it having more Haytham and focus on the Templars) but do I want to play the above or a last-gen only Black Flag part 2?. It has gotta be Unity for me.
As I say though, if/when it comes to PC (which I'm sure is only a matter of time) I'll probably grab it then for the story. Honestly though, I'm kinda glad that Rogue isn't the only AC title coming out this year and that Unity seems to be the "big hitter" as I don't really feel like playing another sailing game. Not just yet anyway.

This is what I don't get, and why we're complete opposites on this.

I've played one sailing game in the last five years. I've played maybe 6/7 games about stalking around a city as an Assassin climbing on buildings, with identical mechanics. If you're tired of Black Flag after one game, why aren't you tired of AC in general - one of the most static and repetitive gameplay franchises I've ever seen? :weird:

I'm genuinely just getting sick of the AC mechanics tbh. Too much of it in too short a period. Black Flag brought innovation and FUN innovation - really rankles at me that Unity is just rolling it right back out again and moving back to same old same old :(

In that case, if my conscience becomes a hindrance to me, then I will simply erase it. I have no other choice but to move forward....therefore!" - Lelouch vi Britannia/Zero, Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch

Forever an eXile and proud of it!
