Forza 5 review: 7/10 Forza Motorsport 5 review Eurogamer.net + good graphics, good use of the new pad for racing - weaker tracks, half the cars, grind to unlock what there is (but you can always buy XP tokens...), AI "learning" from players is a step back ("right now the Xbox One's...

Digital Foundry first take: "There are some great ideas here, then, but we've had just a small glimpse of what the machine is capable of. Cool functions like resuming gameplay from standby are flaky, while the centrepiece of the media experience - full integration with live TV - just isn't...

I think the reaction to the class changes strongly depends on which class and which role you play, and how long you've played the game for. Some classes have come out of this in much better shape than others, Guardians for example seem to be fine, while Wardens are a mess at least as far as...

Has anyone tried the Asus RT-AC68U, or the D-Link DIR-868L ?

That was my take on it as well. The Time Lords and the Daleks kept refighting battles over and over attempting to reverse any defeat throughout history until eventually past events became fixed - which is why the Doctor couldn't go back and alter the outcome even if he wanted to. It could also...

That was pretty amazing. I went and looked up the Sisters and got reminded how deeply weird the early history of the Time Lords was. I've been wondering if the Master would turn up. On the one hand he could be a distraction from the Doctors own story, but I'd love to see the interaction...

Those two cents add up over the life cycle of the console from the manufacturers point of view. No saving is trivial.

Resogun does look good especially as its free with Plus

That's quite an overreaction, it looks like it's just an average shooter with very nice graphics - even though its 30 fps in single player, and 60 in multiplayer.

Yeah that's why I was curious why the Digital Foundry article said you couldn't. We'll soon know one way or the other.

PvP tips from Alexei Sayle ALEXIE SAYLE - NOBLE ART OF VERBAL ABUSE - YouTube

SteamOS is basically pre-configured Linux. Netflix works under Linux (through something called Pipelight). Amazon allows streaming films to Linux since 2011 AFAIK

It could depend if there are any patents involved. Amazon, Google or Samsung might buy into it if there are juicy patents for future lawsuits. There's also the whole worldwide Xbox Live infrastructure. That's probably worth quite a lot to someone.

The Cell was/is cool technology, but I'm not sure anyone is doing much with it these days. IBM stopped making Blade servers using Cell last year and had given it up as a "dead end" in 2009, although they learned a lot from it. Looking it up, Toshiba actually ended up selling the Cell plant...

It wouldn't surprise me if Infinity Ward has made a hash of the next gen, bearing mind the consoles have a similar architecture, but lets wait for the XBone embargo to be lifted.

The Cell processor was a huge miscalculation from Sony. IIRC they sold their interests in it to Toshiba(?) for $800 million or so, after they'd invested $1.7 billion in it's development. These days Sony makes more money from selling life insurance than it does making electrical goods, and not...

Interview with Infinity Ward on COD running at 720p on Xbox: "honestly, the hardest thing to deal with is not the architecture. It's the OS (operating system) of the systems. That's the thing that comes on the latest. The Xbox One's OS on their box versus the Sony OS, becomes the hardest. All...

IIRC USB 3 speeds are pretty dependent on the motherboard and chip combo. If everything is good then you can get comparable data transfer rates but the latency will be higher for a USB connection: "Low latency usb is still much higher latancy than sata is. And like the previous guy said, it...

There's one number the general public always pay attention to: the price.

I know two people who use their PS3 for streaming from NAS, so for them it's a problem. Leaving the PS3 there and having a PS4 next to it is an option but I can see the objections to having two boxes under / next to the TV, two power leads, two HDMI cables, and two sets of remotes / controllers...

IIRC there were nine parts outlined before the Empire Strikes Back was finished. After that film, however, plans for the last trilogy got rolled up into Return of the Jedi. There must be plenty of ideas from the abandoned trilogy that didn't end up in RotJ, but it's not like there's a shortage...

Well it's just one game... IIRC COD is supposed to be 1080p on the PS4, and Forza on the XBone, but we'll see soon. A PC is still going to run graphical rings around these consoles *if* you want to spend the extra $$$ on it, but that's been true for a long time now.

The UC background generator is designed for PCs rather than NPCs, so you have to use it sparingly for NPCs. In fact almost all the stuff in the UC is for PCs, so the kingdom creation guides are for PCs creating and running towns, cities and kingdoms, rather than for a DM to create such in a...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same on both. Mandatory full installs means the game engines don't have to worry about loading assets from bluray disks - and if you buy into the digital download future, there (probably) won't be a bluray disk for the game anyway, so why code for one...

Minor nitpick: G-sync doesn't allow the monitor to run on variable refresh rates, it allows the video card to set the refresh rate of the monitor,but only for monitors that support G-sync. You won't be able to buy such a monitor until some time in 2014. NVidia are going to sell a "G sync board"...
