Yes that is true, but then after i complete a game i never go back to them with the exception of online FPS games, until something better comes out.

I wonder what will happen with the PS plus and free games as it will be mandatory with the PS4 if you wish to play online, maybe they will give less away as the games they give away currently are awesome?

The PS+ games are generally more recent and better quality though, so worthy of keeping the sub going.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I am off to the Eurogamer show in London tomorrow courtesy of 2 free tickets from the Virginmedia trials forum!

Looking forward to seeing the Xbox One in person, i just hope that atleast some of the games on display are running on actually Xbox Ones. :)

I read that you need a sub to use the tv functions so the XBOne is no longer an option for me

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Just got back from Eurogamer in London, very busy as expected with alot of queuing for the Xbox One stands, the console itself does look slightly smaller than what i have seen online which for me is a good thing.

I got to have a go on Forza 5 using a real Xbox One, and to me it looked stunning and played very smooth and fast, i also got to play a 10min lan with dozens of players on Battlefield 4 and we were all told we were some of the first people in the UK to see and play this game on a real Xbox One console. The game itself also looked stunning and it played so well and to me it looked very nextgen, i don't know what resolution it ran at or framerate but all i can say it was gorgeous just like Forza and played so smoothly with lots of things going on and with no slow down that i could see.

And what about the controller? It felt and looked great, although it was a little light so may have had a cheaper feel to it than the 360 controller, but this may have been because it was using a wire so may not have had batteries inside.

For anyone that doesn't know the new controller has impulse triggers and this means each trigger has its own vibration and that worked very well and i loved it, it felt very powerful on my fingers.

So i am extremely pleased i changed my order from a PS4 to this and i have now put my mind at rest of how capable the Xbox One actually is compared to the PS4 because there is so much fanboy crap going on at the moment online between both console groups with comparing specs and games, basically a war! lol

I am happy and i am sure you guys will be when you take delivery of the console in a little under 2 months. :)

Nice, did you get to sit in the car too?

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Did you check inside the box to make sure it wasn't another GTX 780 disguised as an Xbox :p:

Both games were definitely Xbox One, when my friend was playing Forza it crashed and it went to the Xbox One dashboard.

They made a point of telling us Battlefield 4 was running on the Xbox One, so i have no reason to doubt them and the press would crucify them if it turned out to be a lie, and we could see all the console under the TVs. :)

I still think the Xbox One console looks ugly! lol

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I played Titanfall at the Eurogamer Expo yesterday.

It was *awesome*, and I'm now sold on the game, after previously not being too fussed.
