Beat Rayman yesterday, one of the best platformers I've ever played easily, so much fun. Very challenging as well.

Anybody else picking up Infamous this week?
I'll grab in the next week or two...I have a bonus $10 promotion on the way from an Amazon trade in, so as soon as that hits my account next week I'll be ordering.
I wasn't big on the first 2, but I've been looking forward to a good open-world next-gen only game.

Sony finally made it official with their VR headset yesterday:

I'll wait and see on this...I think it's a cool novelty, and I'm sure I'll end up getting one...Will be cool to see what they do with it.

On a whim (based on a ton of high praise on other forums) I bought Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare on Xbox One last night...Got it for around $30.00 (digital version) with a slickdeals MS points deal.
The game is really a ton of fun...A lot like Team Fortress 2...I stayed up pretty late last night because I just kept saying "one more game"...then it was 1am. I can't wait to play it again tonight.

Wow Shogun destroying Hendo through two rounds, they break from a clinch in the third and Hendo clips Shogun on the jaw, turtles up and that's it, incredible.

So how is Infamous? I'm seeing pretty good reviews online, probably going to pick it up here in the next few weeks.
I'm totally hooked on PvZ Garden Warfare...It's the only thing I played this past week.
I need to take a break and finish up Rayman and then I'll be ready for a new single player game like Infamous.

Will you be downloading Trials Fusion when it comes out Wednesday?
Since you were the other one talking about Trials Evolution with me back when it was just out. I got an advance copy (360 version) to review today and played about two hours before going to work. Same style of gameplay overall (with prettier graphics) and the addition of four-wheeler courses and the ability to do motocross-style stunts with the right analog stick (and a handful of courses where the goal is to score as many points as possible with said stunts, instead of just making it from beginning to end without wrecking.
The only thing that stinks is that the servers haven't been turned on yet, so I can't use these two days to give me a head start on the general public on the leaderboards! Last night, I was practicing with Evolution to get my Trials-reflexes working again and saw I finished around 240K out of 1.7 million on that leaderboard (or 140K if you add in the DLC, since I eventually bought both of those, although I never really got into them quite as much as I did the main game).

Yes sir, I'm planning on getting it. I have Infamous being delivered tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I'll get Trials immediately or not, but for sure within the next month or two (I have a 3rd baby due in late May, so I'm getting in as much gaming as possible lately, which I still can).Heretic;1604884 wrote:McFly

With all of the trials games I generally play the crap out of them for 1-2 months, then I get sick of it and never go back...I look forward to doing the same with this one.
Undecided on PS4 or Xbox One at this point...I think I read that the PS4 version is supposed to be better, so if that holds true I'll probably go with PS4. On the other hand, I have a $50 credit on Xbox due to a refund from Battlefield premium, so we'll see.

How would everyone rate the systems so far out of 10?

Hard to rate for me.robj55;1604923 wrote:How would everyone rate the systems so far out of 10?
I'd say like an 7-8/10 for both for what they are.
Both are lacking in some important things (for me) like DLNA. I use a program called "playon" that runs on my PC for certain TV shows and streaming movies, and I'm unable to use it on both the Xbox One or PS4, so it is the only reason I still have a Roku connected to my main TV. I think there are still some sound issues on both systems possibly (haven't researched it lately), but I don't care since these aren't hooked up in my "theater" room...The PS3 is in there, which works great.
PS4 has clearly shown it has an edge in the power department for gaming as many games have better performance/resolution on the PS4 version. Hopefully this is just development problems on the Xbox One side, but down the road I think PS4 will be the clear winner for games from a power standpoint.
Xbox One is great and it is on all day at my house...We actually use voice controls a ton, and use it for Netflix/hulu/youtube a lot. We could do the same with the PS4, but the Xbox One is always on and had the cable TV through it, etc, so it just makes more sense to use that XB1 for media mostly.
For my setup with the PS4 gold headset, it works so perfectly on the PS4 and it a great setup for $100...It works on the XB1 too, but you have to have a wire from the controller to the headset....Not that big of a deal, but I like the wireless aspect on the PS4.
Xbox One is coming out with great updates at a rapid pace, which is nice...I'm looking forward to the ID@xbox games (all the cheap indie games coming out soon).
If I absolutely had to choose a system, I'd probably get rid of the Xbox One (thinking long term)....I do not regret buying either and use them both quite a bit.
Both systems are lacking in the games department, which kind of sucks, but that is just what happens shortly after every console release....Think will be picking up later this year games-wise.

The biggest bummer for PS4 so far has been the lack of games. Most of which released with it was already available for the PS3/360. There's like 1-2 games out right now exclusively for the PS4?
