Anyone here play video games?

[Seul]

UNITY looks great though. Watching my brother play at the mo, but gonna start by myself tomorrow… Never played any AC game before so I'll probably like it (better)...

[hectic]

I picked up a Google Cardboard, an excellent, fun, proof of concept.

Here are a few third party apps which can be used with it:

SwivelGun - a log flume style simple shooter, one of the best ones for getting a sense of immersion

VR Cinema - I watched Snowpiercer with this, it renders the smartphone screen as a larger monitor experience

Glitcher VR - applies renders/filters to camera view

KolorEyes - 360 degree shot videos from different activities

Debris Defrag - simple space based immersion

Oculus Rift is the obvious upgrade here but there are pro options too, check out sensics.com

BTW, if you get one, apply some tape to the nose area otherwise the cardboard will pick up skin oils.

I knew nothing about this ^, sounds mental, I might pick one up.

No way man, embargo was insanely crappy of them. Total cash grab, full priced game with micro transactions totaling $99+, buggy mess, mediocre story… I'll not even consider playing another AC, especially if they keep trying to pump out bologna like this year after year.

My sincere apologies if any of you actually like bologna.

My brother turned in some shit game and got UNITY for 20 €. And I don't like bologna. So we're good. 

The review embargo is a shit move, but the backlash was apparently enormeous so I doubt they'll pull that stunt again…

Can't wait for Far Cry 4 btw  ::)

I know you're getting gta5,  right?

[Hereforthebeer]

Picked up Farcry and GTA today, didn't know what to play first. Played Farcry for a bit then put GTA on… What a game!

[Seul]

Still not sure whether to buy GTA V again for PS4… PS3 is getting the DLC as well, right?..

[xchen]

But FPS!!!

[Graeme]

I've got a stack of old computer games here in Southwest London, ranging from Spectrum through to the original Xbox, PSX and PC.

They're free to a good home, as I'm heading to Oz. But the catch is you'll have to collect them in the next fortnight, as there's something like four or five boxes!

Anyone interested?

[Hereforthebeer]

@seul, I never got round to playing GTA5 on the PS3, but the version I've been playing today on the PS4 sick. Not sure if its the same storyline etc, but it's visually awesome and a shitload of fun.

[Seul]

Same game yeah, with some extra missions and such… STUNNING visuals indeed... It amazes me every time I play it...

[xchen]

I thought the old gta5  liked stunning as well. Can't wait to see the upgrades.

[Seul]

Far Cry 4's been kicking my ass, but I'm stoked about this as well…

@Seul what is your PSN

[Seul]

I don't have an account and don't play online.

How is farcry

[Seul]

If you like Far Cry 3, then just get on your bike and go get it!.. In a review someone mentioned the wildlife being "unnecessarily aggressive" which I immediately liked… It's true though... Best be prepared to be constantly attacked by wolves, wild dogs, eagles, crocodiles, fish, rhinos,...

Great game...

[derivative666]

Never played a far cry game

[Seul]

Then make it your first one!..  Trust me: it took a bit of adjusting personally when I started playing Far Cry 3 two years ago, but I almost immediately fell in love with it…
