Can anyone recommend me good fighting or beat em up games that I can play on an Xbox 360, Xbox One or a PS4?

If you have the gamepass the following are on it.
Mortal Kombat X, Tekken 7, Soul Calibur, Streets of Rage 4, Marvel V Capcom, Double Dragon neon. Killer Instinct is also on it but I think that's free or was.

I got the PSVR up and going again to try and complete Blood & Truth, but it has gotten harder for me now. One thing that enhances the experience of the game for me are the move controllers. They are brilliant innit.

Gen5? I've lived through more generations than that!

There's 2 1 in the PlayStation forum and 1 in the Xbox forum.

What happens now with level 5 & getting ps5 on release from GameStop ?

gimli2112 · 20-10-2020 07:37AM

surely a PS5 is essential? tbh I'm nervously watching out for when they shut down off licences, I can get by with my PS4 but soloing Warzone sober is a terrifying prospect

Parsnips · 20-10-2020 08:18AM

Pity this lockdown didnt happen the days after the PS5 release

one armed dwarf · 20-10-2020 01:02PM

I ordered PC parts during the first lockdown so I don't know that that stuff should be affected

Just on this, I called into my own local store yesterday and the guy recommended I update my preferences on the gamestop website as regards receiving email communications.

He reckoned meetings were ongoing as to how best to deal with it, as they're looking at possibly fulfilling everything via delivery if click and collect is a non runner.

Think Sully is Mark Wahlberg isn't it?

The Raging Bile Duct · 22-10-2020 04:01PM

Tom Holland as Nathan Drake? That's terrible casting.

Retr0gamer · 22-10-2020 04:10PM

I've no faith in the project but will adapt a wait and see response.

As for Tom Holland, he is a fine actor and I still remember the nerds getting upset that Heath Ledger would ruin the Joker character. We will see.

They should have just done a CGI movie with the original voice actors.

This. I was going to say surely it's cheaper to do CGI films, but a quick Google tells me otherwise. But CGI would suit game related films far more than live action imo.

There was a Tintin CGI movie a few years ago which had a lot of good action scenes. Something like that would have been perfect for an Uncharted movie.

It also would have been interesting then to see how long it took the games graphics to catch up.

Considering the inspiration for Uncharted I think live action would be better.

The Indian jones and all the Romancing the stone campy adventure romances.

Wahlberg was originally going to play Nate at one point. But it's been in development for so long, he's old enough to play Sully now

then that would just be the game, like those CG movies you see on youtube made using the cutscenes/clips from the games

the creative director at google stadia puts foot in mouth with a tweet about streamers should pay licences to stream to game developers: https://twitter.com/BangBangClick/status/1319305552560836609

Cue pretty much everyone ****ting on him

Though I've gotten some interesting chit chat out of it on my end about where the games industry intends to go with streaming in the future, at some point someone is going to want to throw enough money at streaming to demand some level of control.

I dont think licences will be a thing, the games industry has always tried to avoid solving it's problems with legal, my money is on twitch or youtube throwing money at some playstation or xbox exclusive title in the future to have it locked that streaming that title from the console will only be able to stream to their website and that will open a floodgate in the same way we saw a tonne of timed exclusives to consoles and the epic store, we'll get the same for streaming platforms.

What a dumbass viewpoint to have, its free advertising :rolleyes:

ERG89 · 22-10-2020 08:42PM

If you look at the Steam best sellers list you'll see the massive influence the likes of Twitch and streaming has on the industry in terms of moving units.
Look at who Sony let play the PS5 first as they are easier to control. YouTuber's and Vloggers weren't going to say oh the console could heat a room, the expanded memory might overheat and spread basic misinformation for clicks like some sites did with the Xbox Series X.

However the relationships between studios and influencers these days is a lot easier to scrutinise than the not exactly squeaky clean one between studios and the media in the past, probably because the gaming press are savy enough to be clever if they get asked to "feature" a game.

Cordell · 22-10-2020 08:53PM

I think they would rather control that influence themselves. My kids picked up Among Us (5 quids) and that free chinese Zelda knock off from these influencing platform, not a lot of revenue for any of the big publishers and distribution platforms.

CastorTroy · 22-10-2020 08:54PM

Surprised they don't try it. I mean they're not above microtransactions so clearly they'll try anything for a few quid

Cordell · 22-10-2020 09:13PM

Sure they do https://www.engadget.com/2019-03-13-ea-paid-ninja-1-million-to-stream-apex-legends.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADFoy8cnYek2zWQHpGoDlj-9cY8Hn5BTDj2c5wWhqsDgyKZkh6MwufTQLE7sAoqUaEmUO5frDdMxDzhtxEMiqHNAt3sUF1rN144t8LnVHQCY2H_4Q1J1MLXa2m7YEUQo9uwsgHvDa8AmtXZ4A2KQXTUENFZGTZXJd7ZYS7pxAh5-

Anyone know where I could see a perspective video on the kit the lad is playing with in this video? https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpoC5LhZzU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Is a Vr headset only adaptable to a very limited number of racing games? I would have thought it’s adaptable to no console games at all but I could be totally wrong.

Grumpypants · 23-10-2020 05:16AM

Publishers pay streamers hundreds of thousands of dollars to play their game. To think any of them would think they could charge the streamers a fee is beyond daft.

Outside the few genuine mysteries like among us. If you see Ninja, Dr. Disrespect or Shroud etc playing a new game you can guarantee they are paid promotions.

Imagine thinking Messi should pay Pepsi a license fee for using the Pepsi logo in an ad for Pepsi.

According to a tweet by Jason Schrier, he's not actually a creative director at Stadia. He works for a games studio which Google bought to become part of Stadias exclusives. This is just the stupid opinion of a guy that happens to be part of a company that Google bought, not some guy who is shaping the direction of Stadias road map.
