Next generation consoles

I wouldnt hold your breath for Watchdogs, its seemingly got massive problems, and may even get canned.

It was pretty much good to go in November/December.

I did read that Ubisoft were having financial difficulties but the best thing they can do is get Watchdogs out there because it's sure to sell well.

Best thing in the very short term maybe, but releasing a game full of issues will only create a backlash which will hurt them far more in the long term.

Really? I thought they were just "tweaking" minor things.

I hope it doesn't get cancelled because it looks fantastic.

A quick google and its not getting cancelled, it was a hoax started by some weirdo who posted on Neogaf that Ubisoft had asked for the trademark on the name to be cancelled. But there is still no firm release date, which is a worry for a game apparently pretty much ready to launch a few months ago.

I hope this is a joke.

I've been looking forward to Watch Dogs for soooo long. I know they put the release back a bit, but surely they won't can it! I think I might be devastated if they did that. How sad I am.

I agree there is nothing worse than devs releasing broken games like EA do with regularity (see Battlefield 4) but Watchdogs was due for release and only a couple of weeks before it was pulled, it can't have needed a whole lot of work surely?

Yeah I've had a Google since and apparently Ubisoft are aiming for a release somewhere between April and June of this year... So probably late June then.

I'm buying Dark Souls 2 and inFamous next month so I should be kept occupied for couple of months with those anyway.

Oh for the days of buying a game, installing it and being able to play it straight away.

Bought Guild Wars 2. Got home, installed it. Now it has to do 10GB worth of downloads (about a week probably with all the people competing for bandwidth) before I can play it.

The downloads are huge now, I can't remember which game it was, possibly Forza but I read it had a 14GB download attached to it.

Thank Christ I have no cap on my internet downloads.

Was going to try a game called Tera, but it was a 35GB download..

You're a PC gamer aren't you?

What size memory you got on your gaming set up because I can imagine something like that eating into your memory even on a good set up. 

My wife downloaded Witcher 2 on our laptop a couple of weeks back and despite having a respectably fast and decent computer the game wouldn't run properly even on the lower the settings. 

I can't get my head around PC set ups which is why I'm very happy with console gaming. 

 

[dkw]

35GB? Dear god, what does it do, take over the world.

 

[ForeverCarefree]

I just Googled the game.

Zeta... You dirty old man.

16GB RAM

(6 core, 3.5GHz) processor

4GB Nvidia GTX 760 (graphics card)

Hexacore chip, very nice. LGA 2011? My guess would be the 4930k chip if so. I've got LGA 2011 but I'm only running a quad core... For now.

Which 760 did you get? I'm going to upgrade my 580 here soon and was wondering who were the most reliable. It was EVGA, not sure if they still are or not.

Microsoft knock £30 off the Xbox One and throw in Titanfall too.

 

[Zola]

Down after 3 months, they are ckearly losing the sales race. Im gonna wait to its under 300

 

[Uno]

Still too expensive. Hardly any games out so you are forced to buy what ever is out just to play it as your cant play your 360 games on it. I will stick with my 360 for another year i think and then maybe take a look at the XB1.

 

[dkw]

The deal for the box and Titanfall is pretty good, though they really need to bring a version without Kinnect out and save about £80 on the price. Theres a few good games now, couple of the indie games are brilliant, especially Max: the curse of brotherhood, a beautiful little game.

 

[Uno]

Are you a little disappointed that the price has dropped so quickly DKW? You paid full price for yours didnt you?

 

[Andreas]

I think I might wait until fall until I decide what system to get but im pretty sure ps4 is the one even though I have been with xbox since the first console..

PS4 cheaper and delivers better performance + the free games with ps + is very hard to beat for microsoft this time around.
