    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I assume that the artifacts are their way of doing AA while still being able to reset each expansion, so you level up your sword rather than your character and then next expac it's either free unlocks or new weapons or whatever. They could even remove weapon stats entirely and just let...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'd ignore that poll. It was on 18% Dominion PvE about 5 minutes ago, it's now on 22% and getting about 10 votes a second, whereas the rest are getting 1 every few seconds.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    With squish being the only major overhaul (no class, levels giving gooder to old abilities rather than new ones, same talent system) maybe they're banking on a much shorter beta than they've had before. Or they are just Blizzard being Blizzard.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It makes sense really. 4 months after launch the install base isn't big enough that they lose vast amounts not having it on the PS4, and MS win because people on the fence might buy a Xbone for it ahead of a PS4. 18 months from now when the install bases are much bigger it would be a...

    If you have friends getting either system, get that one. Other than that it comes down to exclusives and Kinect. Kinect gets a lot of abuse, but it's still fun at parties and stuff in the same way the Wii was.

    I meant more for future games. Hopefully it's just teething problems, but the amount of extra detail and processing the PS4 is doing is massive. If you tried to run the Xbox One version with the same settings it would be a slide show, based on the relative performance. For what I think they...

    Which version looks better isn't actually all that relevant, the PS4 is showing over 50% more pixels, using better effects and maintains a better frame rate. The difference is massive.

    Dynamic resolution isn't a new thing. A number of older games use it, WipeoutHD and Rage for example. Microsoft are just spinning it like it's a fancy new thing. I don't know the ins and outs, but someone can probably explain why G-Sync is an entirety different beast. Short answer, though, is...

    I picked it up on the basis that pads are going to cost ?55 and I'd be buying an extra anyway. I'm sure I'll get enough out of killzone and the camera to justify the 25 quid extra.

    Have they still not announced US launch bundles? Euros have Killzone, camera and extra pad bundle for the same price as the Xbone. Although that Xbone comes with FIFA or Forza in Europe.

    I hope the Steam box does incredibly well. I hope it does so well that it causes the end of the whole 'console war' nonsense and we end up with one system with several different developers which allows you to play every game, with all the lovely community mods, and I can play Gears of War and...

    So the consensus seems to be go for it but be careful about getting overly invested, keep an eye out for any kinds of crazy and be prepared to bail. The most likely outcome is that it all goes wrong, but then dating girl my own age the most likely outcome is it all goes wrong anyway (or she is...

    Hasn't come up. From other conversations it's at least 3, the first being when she was 16.
