Paid Members waters44 Posted July 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2015 Does anyone watch Videogame Nation?  Its on Challenge at the weekends. Its a half hour programme, usually dedicated to a particular game / genre, but at the moment they are doing a series on most influential games. They have done the 80s, last week was the 90s and next week is the 00s.  I can't really remember the 80s, but for the 90s they had -  Super Mario 64 Resident Evil Tomb Raider Command & Conquer Mario Kart Pokémon Street Fighter 2 Doom Secret of Monkey Island Metal Gear Solid  No Goldeneye which surprised me seeing as I remember Goldeneye revolutionising multiplayer.  Anyway its a pretty good little programme. Some of the talking heads are a bit annoying but overall its a fun show, if you're into games check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2015  Although, if you were a 360 guy last gen, you may be interested to know that Xbox 360 games will run on the Xbox One, as announced at E3 just now.That's a massive fucking game changer for me. I think that's going to swing it for me. Got a bonus at work this month, so fuck it, I'm gonna take the plunge and get an Xbone (for the very reason outlined above).  UKFFers, where is the best place to get decent bundles? I want more mound for my pound. Around £300ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Curious Orange Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The supermarkets seem to have the best deals, but only when the big games come out. When Arkham Knight was released you could get that and a Xbox One for £250 from Asda. None of the deals around at the moment come close to that.

In about two months FIFA comes out and there's usually a bundle for that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted July 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2015 Anyone been playing Rocket League? I've been playing it on the PS4 and it's awesome! High octane, short bursts of rocket car football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2015 Cheers for the advice folks, I'll try to hold on in that case. Try being the operative word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamaras-Tash Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Just decided to jump on the next gen consoles and went for a PS4 after having a 360 last gen, mainly as there's some Playstation exclusives I want to check out.Anyway does it have to be connected to the internet constantly for updates etc? I have a long ethernet cable I could use but I use that for my SkyBox so debating whether just to buy another so I'm not having to swap them around.Got the PS4 for a canny deal from ShopTo for £289.85, you get 3 months Playstation Plus and could pick 2 games ( I went for Infamous Second Son & The Last Of Us Remastered ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamaras-Tash Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yeah I do, will the PS4 connect to my wi-fi with any add-ons/adapters? sure I had to buy something for my 360 to connect to wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bettencourt Posted July 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2015 Haha. Yes. It definitely has wifi built into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members eugenespeed Posted July 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've actually went back a couple of generations, been collecting for the Game Cube and the Saturn recently.  F-Zero GX is still an awesome game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT is Kingoftheting. If you have a laptop or Windows tablet, Windows 10 allows you to stream your XBox One to the laptop/tablet screen. Just plug in your Xbox controller and play.  Also can I please just sing the praises of Elite:Dangerous again? Yeah? Ok. Thanks. I love this game so much that I haven't even touched Black Flag that I downloaded with GwG last month.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 31, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yeah I think I'll definitely be getting EA after reading it on here first. I'll prob get it for a while until I probably end up getting the new FIFA as I'd imagine I won't be able to wait until it's added to the vault.
