Any other PS4 owners had controller issues? One of the guys I work with has been through three warranty replacements in under 4mths, for failure on the thumb sticks.

Lewis would've had that apart from that lock up. Silly mistake, shame. Fingers crossed he punts them both off on turn 1

Good point fella If you do like gaming with mates, just get the same one as them. If you don't already have mates to play online with, then there's a good Xbone community here and I think the PS4 lot are doing great things with Destiny as well

I've played both, but I own an Xbone. If you want driving games, then the Xbone is the only choice. FH2 and FM2 are better than anything else out there right now. Project Cars is coming to both next year, and will probably be 1080/60 on PS4 and 900/60 on Xbone. In isolation, you'll never tell the difference. PS4 is more powerful, no question. Is it that much more that it's blatantly obvious? Not unless you look at the numbers on Digital Foundry, or the odd occasion like with Tomb Raider, no. XBL is a more robust system than PSN, but PSN gets you MUCH better free games than XBL. MS are much better at OS updates than Sony. The Xbone OS is miles ahead of where it was last year, and wees all over the PS4 for media stuff. Controllers are a personal thing. The PS4 has the touch pad and lights though, which is cool. I still prefer the Xbone pad, but they're both great. Separate feedback on the Xbone pads is nice. In terms of other games, the PS4 has many more smaller indy games. A lot more. If that bothers you, then that's an easy choice. Tbh, there's less in it now than there was a year ago. I'm much more comfortable with my choice now that I was, as the games have justified it for me. That said, if you only want to play the big AAA multiplats then definitely go for the PS4, as its graphically stronger. If you want racing games, or the cheaper console, get the Xbone.

I didn't even mention the cut scenes, or the voice 'acting'.

I hope they fail dismally. All they want to do is to be able to run in AD, take the prize money for finishing the championship, then go under. It's shockingly transparent, and a dirty way of financing things.

My god there's some chavved up exotica there!

Wuss. Free food should never be passed up.

So yeah, I'm not mad keen on it.

I'd already played the earlier PC beta which wasn't very good, but I did expect to see some progress. I went in with low expectations anyway, and tbh just fancied playing something arcadey for a couple of hours on a Friday night that I knew would be limited in scope. What I got was something that I would never pay a single penny for. Let me list the things I didn't like about the game: The 370Z was as twitchy as an Elise on mixed tyres The Mustang handled like an Elise from the factory i.e. understeer city The Camaro handled like a boat. Not a metaphorical boat, but like an actual boat. The first two cars are not mid-engined. They should not handle like one. The graphics are poorly lit, poorly shadowed, and poorly coloured. The streets are nigh-on empty of anything. You may see the odd person or a bin. Traffic density is retarded. NOS is useless, as you use it and all it does is spin the wheels up and leave you banging off the limiter. You go slower if you use it. Hit a car square-on and you get a replay Burnout-style. The game then resets itself like you never had a crash and you're left with zero momentum, and as the screen goes back during this you lose your positioning. All this time, the car you're chasing to takedown (and there's a few of these) is getting away. One crash and you'll NEVER catch them up, as no matter what car you have or they have, they're always MASSIVELY faster. Tinniest engine sounds in a long time. They make GT sound lifelike. Upgrading your car does nothing. Seriously, my 2011 'Stang went from lvl10 to lvl63, and it felt like the exact same car. Pop up, pop up, pop up. You get to drive a 4x4 Baha buggy-like Cayman. Sounds great, but it's uncontrollable as the steering feel is zip. Oh yeah, and you're supposed to takedown another vehicle whilst leaping over dunes in your uncontrollable car that will randomly spin as you land, meaning you'll never catch the guy up as per the above. Detroit felt like Dagenham. Now, I've never been to Detroit, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't make me think of Dagenham. I could go on. I even tried making a Crew but either the system isn't on or it's broken to hell, and the matchmaking just timed out. This is honest to god the worst game I've played for many years. If this was demoed in this state to any other publisher, they'd tell you to get lost and stop wasting their time. Do not pre-order. Do not be tempted to pick this up thinking it will be better by release. It won't. It's so horrendously broken, nothing short of starting again will save this.

Knowing Grundy, his safe word would be "GIVE IT TO ME HARDER!".

Do not ever play The Crew. Ever. It's truly awful. I don't care if this is only a beta, it should never ever have gotten this far. Possibly the worst game I've played in the last 10 years, it has literally zero redeeming features.

I've never even cared. As long as it's got five wheels and an engine, I'm in

They're grown men, they shouldn't be forced! Plenty of other series to go racing in. Caterham and Marussia have been nothing but an embarrassment to the sport.

Sneakytimes are coming, sneakytimes are coming...

That's actually the one car I'd be happiest to crash. At least the only person I'm troubling then is myself, if I crash someone else's then I'm depriving them.

I have a certain amount of sympathy with him, really. All the teams signed up, and if they weren't happy then they shouldn't have signed their contracts. Ultimately, they have only themselves to blame for their failure.

Bernie wants more double points. What Bernie wants, Bernie normally gets.

And little Johnny wouldn't get hit at all if he didn't wander in the f*cking road without looking

This is the equivalent of your boss buying lunch. You may not want to go, but ultimately you know you have to just to keep the peace.

Or my brother's, in my case.

List of cars you don't want to crash, in order: 5. Your wife's. 4. Your girlfriend's. 3. Your wife's when picking the girlfriend up. 2. Your Dad's. 1. Your boss's.

No, they stay with the mortgage lender until paid off. You can get photocopies if you want though.

Fixed. Bloody hate people that wear backpacks in close spaces like that. Really heats my urine.

Nooooo more chances/excuses for Nico to punt Lewis off
