Yeah I think I'm definitely going to pick one up. The Dot version is out at the end of this month and it's less than half the price. Missing the big speaker but it comes with a 3.5mm audio out and Bluetooth support so you can run it through a stereo.

Ya I considered the Dot as well, but luckily got the limited deal they had for Prime users for the Echo for £99 so paid the bit extra for that. But if you already had speakers or bluetooth speakers the Dot is probably the way to go.

I've heard from people - really great people, folks, reallly great - about the Vive. Can't afford it? Sad! I heard about a review of it in the failing New York Times - biased and crooked, like Hillary!

Funny. I thought Trump would be in camp Rift because...you know...Palmer...

These press kits for the tomb raider game are pretty slick.

Retr0gamer · 12-10-2016 09:31AM

Some one should remind them it released on Saturn first :P

Speaking of annoying Millenials, I was reading up on videogame making tutorials and one was about 3D in Gamemaker. Author says most amateur game developers have thought about making their first game game in 3D before 2D because 3D games are what we grew up with in our childhoods.

I feel old.

Jeff Minter's Polybius game for Playstation VR is looking great:

Thought I had no reason to get a PS VR.... damn you jeff minter. First the Atari Jaguar, then the Nuon and now that piece of ****

DinoRex · 12-10-2016 11:19AM

Thumper looks pretty great too:

Basically if you haven't died from some sort of horrible seizure then VR hasn't done it's job right.

Looks like a hardcore Winamp visualisation (remember those?)
Funnily enough, Nullsoft also used a llama for their logo.
Gotta be some link between owning llamas and psychedelic visuals, whatever that could be! :pac:

Retr0gamer · 12-10-2016 11:58AM

I'm hoping they are timed exclusives. Whatever about VR being a huge investment to make, it's worse when you have 3 competing formats. It reminds me of the GPU accelerators in the 90's buy the wrong one and you've made a massive financial mistake.

The Gay Gamer had up a great post on Twitter

ICYMI, everyone can buy Keita Takahashi's cute-as-hell ALPHABET now (not just Kickstarter backers). Details --> http://www.thegaygamer.com/2016/10/regular-people-can-now-buy-alphabet-by-keita-takahashi.html?m=1

I love anything Keita Takahashi tbf though so I'm excited

smurf492 · 13-10-2016 02:23PM

Not retro i know but just think its shocking that PSVR already selling on adverts for 500+...

Steve X2 · 13-10-2016 03:17PM

Anyone know if they're going to release the VR version of Rez for Oculus/PC?
One of my fav games on the Dreamcast, and apparently its awesome on PSVR.

Just look at that room :eek::eek::eek:

Picked up a digital copy of Gears of War 4 as I wanted to try it out on the PC.

Man oh man is the Windows Store awful.

Took a while to get the Play Anywhere feature to recognise my copy of the game. But trying to download the 80GB file is just not happening at all. Keeps stalling at about 12GB and I have to start over.

Played a little on the Xbox One though, and it's very pretty looking. And you get to shoot dumb clanky robots this time around.

Retr0gamer · 14-10-2016 01:02PM

I've always had a soft spot for the Gears of War series. The combat and controls are solid and it's unapologetically stupid while having quite a bit of heart as well, something you only see in Capcom or Platinum games. I heard the new team hasn't really translated over that silliness though.

DinoRex · 14-10-2016 01:59PM

Yeah. Enjoyed 1 and 2 but didn't like 3 at all.

4 seems fun so far. But it frustrating how quickly you run out of ammo and have to tiresomely wander around looking for bullets while underfire. It doesn't add tension, it just makes the game frustrating.

Jack burton · 16-10-2016 03:08PM

Always liked the GOW series as well. Visceral fun, I was a big player of the chaos that was the multiplayer deathmatch.

No Xbone for me though and my pc wouldn't have a hope of running it

o1s1n · 17-10-2016 11:23AM

Only ever played the first one when it came out, had a bit of fun with it but it's a little too dudebro for my refined tastes. :pac:

DinoRex · 17-10-2016 11:48AM

They've made it more diverse this time.

There's Black Man, Woman and Super Generic White Man.

In single player I'm forced to be Super Generic White Man.

Also the game damsels Marcus Fenix.

It all looks great though. Unreal 4 is pretty special, huge variety on the levels.
