I’m weirdly ok with Horizon Zero Dawn getting pushed back. I think that game’s gonna be something really unique; they should take their time ensuring it’s a fantastic game.

outside of horizon there were some other games today

Final Fantasy 12 - The Zodiac Age

Looks good, was always a 12 fan so i’m excited for that
now onto the important one

And Watch Dogs 2 teaser

less of a trailer and more of an active lie to our faces. Perhaps all those shifting images and swirling eye trick things in the background were meant to hypnotize us into believe they wouldn’t just fake everything this time.

Dead Rising 4 rumor pops up

Yooka Laylee won’t come out till 2017, Playtonic is personally handling the Wii U and PC versions of the game
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/yooka-laylee-delayed-to-2017-playtonic-internally-handling-wii-u-and-pc-versions/0167997

Reason for personally handling Wii U is because of the amount of backers that backed that version of the game.

Cortana is coming to Xbone, will work through the headset and Kinect

Blizzard looking into Cross console play for Overwatch, not with PC though

Not PC for obvious reasons, I’m wondering why they’re looking into this when Sony still hasn’t made it available to do that or even said that they’re seriously looking into it. Perhaps they know something we don’t?

Possible Destiny expansion coming out

Teaser for Watch Dogs 2 is kinda…eh…they are doing a full reveal Wednesday morning

Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games - Play on Wii U

Every time I see a new Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, I always wonder why they can’t have a proper cross-over…

…wtf are you talking about?

Mario Rugby?

#FundIt

hype as fuck for that remaster of 12. Had a lot of fun playing it but didnt get to finish it. Really wish 13 played like it.

If this is real I hope the series goes back to it’s roots. I want the timer reinstated in the main mode and limited saves. I missed that urgency with DR3.

In response to the bold, I assume you say this because of the whole Keyboard and Mouse Vs. Pad player thing. If not, I apologize for misunderstanding, but it still raises an interesting topic. How do you guys feel about control methods when it comes to shooters? Do you guys think it’s possible to play just as efficiently on a pad vs. someone who plays on a KB+M setup?

Personally, I’ve had this argument with dozens of PC Elitists who have told me time and time again that Keyboard+Mouse will always be better than using a pad when it comes to shooters. They insist that you cannot possibly match a player on KB+M with a pad control method, and I totally disagree. It’s the same shit with dudes in the FG community telling others you can’t do all the things you can do with an arcade stick, on a pad controller. Which is also just not true.

Both have always been a simple matter of preference, imo. But I’m interested to hear SRK’s two cents on it.

It’s a so very obvious thing that it isn’t worth talking about.

Keyboard and mouse is the way a FPS is ment to be played as you’ll always be more accurate with a mouse rather than your thumb rotating a analog stick. This is coming from someone who plays almost exclusively on console btw.

It is all but confirmed that the new expansion is coming out around q3, we will have the date this thuersday.

It has to do with the level of precision that a mouse provides compared to using a controller. You have a MUCH wider range that you can move quickly and still aim well due to how much room you have to do so with a mouse. With a controller you don’t have that since there’s less range that the joystick can cover.

In the case of pad vs Arcade Stick, they have the same exact functions, it just comes down to which you’re more comfortable with. Mouse vs Pad, the Mouse has a clear advantage.

I really wouldn’t mind cross-platform play whether it’s vs other console or PC. The genre doesn’t matter to me either.

Cross-play is a nice method of brigning the community closer together, and things such as the platform choice shouldn’t stand in a way of uniting the players in the game they love

Plus it can add a competitive aspect outside of esports when you’re just casually shooting fools in an FPS and you can put yourself to a test vs a K+M user

I actually meant to post that in the Video Game general…but whatevs.

Mouse and Keyboard is leaps and bounds faster then pad play, if Overwatch had crossplay between console and PC the PC players would dominate.

I was talking about how watch dogs 2 is going to be a farce just like watch dogs 1

The FPS that had console and PC crossplay like Shadowrun and Soldier of Fortune the PC players absolutely dominated the console players.
