for the guys playing the new NFS, how are the driving physics? most wanted and carbon were great for what they were but NFS Rivals driving was horrid. almost gta 5 like

i own XB1 and ps4, anything different between them that i should get it on a certain system?

The physics are pretty good. The tuning is fairly in depth too. Granted the upgrade system is very basic, but when you start tuning the finer points of your car, you can really feel it. I am driving a Mazda RX-7 set to more of a drift characteristic and it's fun.

[brian91]

Well battlefront isn't what I expected at all. Could be wrong, but it doesn't feel like there is much depth to it.

[highergr0und]

I'm loving battlefront. Some of the game modes aren't that great, but the maps are good and the multi player doesn't require you to be crazy skilled to compete.

I kind of wonder how they'll progress the game with the season passes. I assume that new maps and characters will come out when the new movie hits theaters.

[Shipwreck]

Loving Fallout 4 though! Graphics are pretty much PS3 but the gameplay is great!

[knock it close]

I bought ncaa 2012 the other day. I can't find my 13 and couldn't find 13 or 14 anywhere. Love ncaa, had to find my 360 to play it and have been non stop.

[FSCMatt]

I'm pretty happy with Battlefront so far. I like most of the modes, but it sure is frustrating getting killed from across some of the maps.

Well, I caved in and bought Black Ops III and Need for Speed for my PS4. I've played around with NFS a little bit and it's okay, but nothing stellar. I think that the best run of games that they had for NFS were actually on the PS2 with Most Wanted and Carbon. As for Black Ops, I haven't had a chance to take it for a test spin due to time constraints. NFS is one I know I can pick up and put down easily, but COD generally causes me to fall into a couple hour long multiplayer pit.

Most Wanted is a hell of a game, I love that game. Wish it was on PS3...but is NFS a no go? Because I was considering buying it.
[/quote]

It's not terrible. The graphics are solid and running chases is a blast. I'm not sure if it's something that will get corrected in a future patch, but I'm finding the controls to be twitchy, specifically brakes and hand brake. They either do nothing, or they do WAY too much. I'm also a little frustrated with one particular race using the mythical unicorn RWB Prosche RSR that absolutely smoked my top tier R34, but when I switch to the RWB, the car won't break about 115 MPH for one reason or another making it impossible to pass the race mission. It's decent enough to kill a few minutes here and there, but it's not something I would have spent $60.00 on had I been a little more informed about what the gameplay was like. Unfortunately, it's the only really viable driving game for the PS4. No Gran Turismo and god forbid Microsoft allow Forza to be released on a Sony platform.

project cars?

[Pstar1978]

For the guys looming for a game with a great storyline I've really enjoyed Farcry 3 and 4 along with Red Dead Redemption. The storylines are really involved and are at least 20 hour games. I also have 360 controllers that wander as well and I think it has a lot to do with how hard you press on them.

[MJisGOAT]

Everything is a flop or either my attention span has better things to do (like wasting time on wrx).

[Pstar1978]

If anyone is in the market for an Xbox one, Best Buy has the 500 gig console with 3 games(Halo, Tomb Raider and Forza 6) for 299.99.

[mumbles236]

I miss the old school shooters that were actually about shooting instead of crazy perks, futuristic abilities, and insane kill streak rewards. I would give anything to have them remake battlefield 1942 for XB1.

I'm convinced if COD reels it back to WW2 or Desert Storm people will flock to the game. No more running on walls, jumping off the map, calling special dogs, plasma anything. Star Wars has less going on and it's a damn scifi game.

[highergr0und]

Heck, the first call of duty modern warfare is my favorite multiplayer of all time. It had maps that allowed snipers to snipe, gave run and gun types enough cover to avoid being torn up, and gave sneaky close range guys that ability to sneak through buildings.

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for an Anniversary Edition of MW1 - MW2 - MW3 and maybe Blops 1 & 2, lol.

Those were my games, I'd be back playing headquarters in MW1 in a heart beat.

[highergr0und]

A remastered COD MW pack would be awesome!!!!

[dan250yds]

Don't be surprised if Activision releases it in the next year or two, because the community needs it

[goobers80]

[color=#800080]I have always played Warcraft , Diablo , ands Starcraft. Console games were okay , but after Castlevania : SoTN ands Zelda : Ocarina of Time ands Wind Waker i thought games got worse. Nintendo franchises were always nice. I thought Metroid Prime was probably the most perfect game ever made.[/color]

[color=#800080]I did enjoy Skyrim and​s Orcs Must Die games.[/color]

Hit that one on the head. Not quite sure who they're marketing to with these new games, but I would be curious what the avg age of console gamers are anymore. I grew up playing on a console starting with a nintendo, which I'm sure a lot of you guys did as well and the younger kids that I see are more enamored with their app games than taking the time to roll through a campaign or sports game.

I would assume it is going to happen since they have said that CoD games will not be backwards compatible. So what better way to boost earnings than port over old games that have a rabid fanbase and having them all rebuy the games for a different system.

I don't mind buying really good games again compared to the drivel they've been spitting out as of late. Just like with movies, they seem to be content to crank out sequels of diminishing quality over and over.

[markheardjr]

Preordered Battlefront, because it is Star Wars. The graphics are insane and the sound is the best but the game does lack depth as mentioned above. I really think they could open it up with better partnering and possibly making the Mission activities into On-line co-op like every other game that has a co-op horde mode. Currently they are only online versus which is dumb.

I ended up buying Destiny Taken King on black friday for $35. I played well over 150 hours of Destiny on Xbox360 all of last year but refused to pay for those DLC's. I switched to PS4 and can't transfer my character but the Taken King has a perk to upgrade 1 player to lvl25 and after like 3 nights of playing I'm already 39 so it isnt' hard to catch back up. I think it is currently the best shooter on the new platforms. The mix of story, pve, pvp modes are better than any other.

I also snagged PGA Tour 15 for $25 at Walmart. We'll see if its any good. I really wish they'd make another Hot Shots Golf for PS4. I missed the one on PS3 as I skipped from PS2 to Xbox360 back to PS4. PS has it online to play but you have to rent the PS3 version for way more money than its worth doing.

My gamertag on PS4 is VooDooGolferX if you want to add me.

Yeah I love and hate Destiny. The biggest problem I've seen is most of my friends have stopped playing it and have switched to Halo 5 (which is fun in its own rights, especially with the Big Team Battle playlist), so my raid teams are no longer at it and trying to fight through those things with people from the looking for groups is so difficult.

[mumbles236]

If anyone is looking for a raid group for Destiny on XB1 feel free to hit me up (MagicalToast) I play a lot with my brother and some other guys. The new challenge mode that launched yesterday is pretty fun if you guys haven't tried it yet.

[Arizonalefty59]

Looking forward to start playing Xbox One with my brother, we never talk so maybe video games will bring us closer together lol. I bought him an Xbox One as his Christmas present because he only has a PS4.

Hahaha. I snagged the last one at my work when it was on sale for $299 on Black Friday, it was the Assassin's Creed bundle and after my employee discount it came out to $248, plus I got $60 in a bounce back coupon so it was a no brainer lol.

His wife is the reason we never really talk anymore, so she's getting a $10 Mickey D's gift card. Plus she absolutely hates it when he plays video games so she'll be even more pissed.

[Arizonalefty59]

Still can't put down the new COD. Been playing it way too much, so close to my first prestige online lol.

Using the "Gorgon" gun is basically cheating lol.

[MJisGOAT]

For those looking for a realistic shooter, look no further than rainbow six siege. I endorse it immensely.

Only 3 next gen games have genuinely piqued my attention and they are:

Shadow of Mordor
Fallout 4
R6 Siege

These were worth the price of admission, but unfortunately the buck stops with them.
