It’s alright and for free you cannot really say no, was full of bugs when it was first released but they were eventually ironed out. Gameplay is your typical Assassins Creed mini missions and a reasonable story line. Probably one of the weakest AC titles though.
 
Been playing No Mans Sky on PS4. Initially this game was one of the reasons I first bought a PS4, but it flopped at launch and so I never bothered. It seems like the game has been rejuvenated a bit with some patches, and it seems good as things stand. It wouldn't be for everyone but I think of it as Minecraft in space with better graphics and exploration.

I have that on Steam and while I found it entrancing, after 10 hours I gradually lost interest.
Plus it was really badly optimised and the frame drops we annoying

I'm around 10 hours in too....I can see how it might eventually get a bit samey, i've been really lucky with planet variety so far - been attacked on sight by the police robots, hostile plants....ended up lost in a cave too. I want somewhere to build a base but i'm always landing on planets with shit conditions!

I probably should get back into it. I still have it installed
 
So who's looking at getting Google Stadia then? I was really excited when they mentioned the GPU speeds but then the apprentice at work has just told me the new Xbox will have 4x the speed it currently has, so approximately 24gb compared to the 10 of Stadia. 1 thing in Stadia's side is since its cloud based they could make it as fast as they want when it comes to GPU power but then it really depends on latency. I have an Nvidia Shield and any multiplayer is pretty pointless due to lag and thats with the 350gb speed internet i have.

I don't see a (British) connectivity infrastructure ever supporting cloud based gaming, the ping times are just too great.

Microsoft are doing exactly the same thing with x cloud. The difference is Microsoft already have the games and hardware for it. It's completely new for Google and they are well known for binning stuff which they think is not working
 
So is E3 over? Anything worth getting excited about on the PC side? I haven't watched that yet.

Maybe I'm just getting old but I get less interested every year, both the Xbox and Nintendo shows were ok but I don't understand the excitement some people had for either of them. Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring and Breath of a Wild2 all look good though.

Pleased to see Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions get some backing. He's made some great games over the years with good humour, great soundtracks and interesting art styles. Quite enjoyed Psychonauts myself too, so glad there's a sequel on the way, hope it gets a PC release.

I noticed Sony pulled out of the show and wont even be doing their own Playstation experience event either. Part of me thinks Sony just wants to see what Microsoft has and set about beating their specs at all costs.

How much of a ballache is it going from a PS3 to a PS4, or is it as simple as plug it in and away you go? I only play fifa and as Fifa 20 is a PS4 only game i'm taking the leap forward.

PS4 is a better games console. It's just like the PS3 but everything is quicker than the slow PS3 XMB interface thankfully.

Should be an easy move for you.
