    Just in case anyone missed anything from tonight, there's a full list of reveals on the last page, but I'm going to try and do a post with trailers & details for all of the major announcements (although it probably won't be up until sometime tomorrow).

    The first game was outstanding man. I just can't see how they can even come close to it.

    Everything was perfect man even the ending.

    So I've done a re-cap post for pretty much every game announced during the PSX show (although I might have missed one or two smaller ones).

    Anyway, here's part 1 of 6

    So there's some potential spoilers for this one, so I'm going to split up the details just in case anyone reading hasn't played Uncharted 4 yet.



    General Non-spoiler Details:





    Spoiler Details (Don't read if you plan on playing Uncharted 4):



    • It's set after the events of Uncharted 4 (whether they mean after the time-skip/epilogue or just the main adventure I don't know)
    • The women you see at the end of the trailer is Nadine, one of the antagonists from Uncharterd 4, who will partner Chole throughout the story
    • The story will explore who Chloe is, as well as why she's teamed up with Nadine
    • Like Uncharted 4, there won't be any supernatural elements - it's a more 'grounded' story

    The Death stranding trailers look incredible, even though I don't have a clue what the games about :rofl:

    Hopefully the Suicide Squad rumours are true and you actually get to create your own character. Be unreal having a custom character to play with in the DC games world.

    Moustache.... what's the script with skate4? Seen things on Facebook about a tweet made?

    If skate4 lands it will convince me to buy a console again.

    Best series ever made.

    Apologies for not replying sooner, just noticed your post now.

    The short is version is basically nothing new, but for the full story...

    The head of EA's Community Engagement Team randomly tweeted #skate4 on Saturday, which led to people (understandably) thinking that some sort of announcement was imminent. However, when EA held their quarterly Earnings Call yesterday and their CEO was asked about the tweet, he basically said that although he knows there's a demand for more Skate, they aren't currently working on a Skate 4.

    At the moment no one really knows why the guy tweeted that in the first place. Although I've seen people speculating, based on his role with EA, that it was maybe a way of trying to highlight how much of a demand there is for Skate 4.

    There's been quite a big push from the community in the last year or so for a Skate 4, and EA have acknowledged it a few times, so I wouldn't be too surprised if it's something their considering (and I suppose you could argue they did something similar with the SSX series).

    I'm sure I remember reading that Skate 3 is being added to the EA Access Vault in the next few months, if that's of any interest to you. Although you'd need a Xbox One for that.




    I haven't done an update in a while, but this post reminded of something I was going to post just in case anyone was interested.

    WB Montreal's Suicide Squad game has been cancelled and apparently the studio are now focusing solely on the Batman game I mentioned on the last page.

    What is EA Access? I have an Xbox One so need to look into this.

    Also what is the new Halo Wars 2 and the game series general concept all about? Seems like Command and Conquer to me.

    I don't know all the details about EA Access, since I don't own an Xbox, but here's my best attempt at summarising it:

    • It's a subscription based service with either a one month option (£4 I think) or an annual sub (£19.99)

    • While you're subscribed to EA Access you have access to the 'EA Vault'

    • The Vault, to quote EA's website, is '...a collection of full EA games you can download and play as much as you want, so long as you're a member. Best of all, we're constantly adding more games, ensuring you always have something great to play. The Vault includes games from franchises like Battlefield, FIFA, Need for Speed, and lots more'.

    • The current Vault games (all of which are playable on the Xbox One) are:

    • In regards to the sports game it's usually not the most recent version (I.e. they currently have FIFA 16, but won't get FIFA 17 until 18 is out). Although the UFC games seem to be the exception.


    • They put out 10 hour trials of certain games before they release, and your progress carries over to the actual release. So, for example, you could play ten hours of manager mode in the FIFA 18 trial (a week before the game is actually released) and when you go out and buy a copy of FIFA 18, your save would carry over. Mass Effect: Andromeda is the next game scheduled to get such a trial.

    • I think you also get some discounts on DLC.



    In regards to Halo Wars:

    • It's an RTS (like Command & Conquer) spinoff series.

    • The first game, originally released in 2009, was a prequel set a couple of decades before the events of the first game. According to the Wikipedia the premise is that 'The player leads human soldiers aboard the warship Spirit of Fire in an effort to stop an ancient fleet of ships from falling into the hands of the genocidal alien Covenant"

    • Halo Wars 2, which comes out this month, is a sequel following the same characters from Halo Wars but the game itself takes place after Halo 5. A new alien faction called 'The Banished' are the antagonists. I think I might have posted more details and a story trailer a page or two back.

    • The original game is being remastered for Xbox One, and might even be available now. I think if you pre-order Halo Wars 2 you get it for free, but I honestly can't remember.


    Hopefully that answers your questions :50:

    Cheers for ALL that mate :D Why do less people have Xbox's? Always seemed better to me ;)

    I have the HALO Master Chief Collection (came with my console) so just about to play the remastered Halo 4 now. Although HALO is all about online play and I dont have a mate playing it yet.

    On Xbox1 you can just join clubs that organize mass parties of randomers for online games right? I can see a few for racing games like Forza Horizon 3, Assetto Corsa (I have both of those) and Dirt Rally (Number 4 is coming soon and I might buy that). The thought of racing with some crazy American in my headset makes me laugh.

    Rainbow Six Siege in the sale looks a steal too, love R6. Clever, strategical FPS.

    No problem, glad I could help :50:

    I think Microsoft's initial plan for the Xbox One, along with their poor messaging of it, put a lot of people off. Combined with the fact that Sony were riding a real wave of momentum/popularity by the end of the last gen, the PS4 was out earlier and it was cheaper made it pretty hard to beat. For me personally, I've always owned Playstation's and I prefer their exclusives, so that's why I choose them.

    Yeah, as far as I'm aware. There's probably communities online as well, on places like Reddit or the official forums (if the game has them), if you want to meet people to arrange matches.

    I've heard a lot of positive stuff about Siege and it seems like the developers are supporting it well. I'm not much of a multiplayer person nowadays though, so I haven't got around to playing it.

    Probs in the sale R6siege mate so grab a copy, I have a mate off facebook who plays it so I can add him and we can play together etc.

    Assetto Corsa has an official community and their are loads of Gaming Clubs for Xbox1 who are really welcoming and let all members play each other, which is cool. Its also going to be random racing about 9 Germans and 1 Romanian. I Know some people dislike random online play, but to me it sounds cool.

    Also the whole online thing for me on Xbox is just better, as you have to pay for it so they have to give bang for buck, and the user functionality of the console isn't bad either, although the Dominos app is over rated (you cant even log into your account!) and there is no facebook app and the passkey system does my swede in.

    Will you be playing HALO Wars 2? Its on Pre-Order at Game, dont pre orders give you a * load more points than buying on release? I have 9 quid of Game points. Its a shame Xbox/Sony dont do a points system in their store for discounts.
