  1. Well, I'm sure you'll destroy the worst team in the world. I should put a -4 handicap on Italy for that game!

    I think Microsoft realised that their specs could not compete with PS4, so they've targeted their audience differently. Hence the TV crap. Focusing on video games would be irrelevant, because people would just turn around and say "Yeah but PS4 does it better".
  3. That's how friendlies should be, open. The England game was shit, I had money on them to win with a -1 handicap, what a waste.

    Sony actively pushing for 60FPS / 1080p with PS4 Smooooth

    Destiny

    I'm hoping the sheer scale of the game will attract me. Also, is it open-world or linear story-line?

    Destiny

    I think I might have to buy this, it looks epic. Although gameplay seems very Halo-esque.

    What's the matter, you mad bro? I know that the truth hurts, but it's good to live in the real world. Instead of this fantasy one in which Microsoft and their Xbox are somehow helping gaming... It doesn't matter, you're clearly blinded by M$ rage.
  9. Thank god, I had money riding on Bayern!
  10. I've got money on Bayern, the returns aren't that great but I've got it in a heinz so i'm hoping to make some money from this one!
  11. Predictions for tonights Champions League final? I simply can't help but go with Bayern, Dortmund are the clear underdogs in this bout!

    Have we got any price indications/estimates for the Playstation Plus service? If it's reasonable I think it's something I'd definitely be interested in!

    I bought a 360 because I couldn't wait a year for next-gen gaming and neither could my friends. Not because it was the only one I could afford (I'm very rich). I think your inner fanboy should take a chill pill. We're here to discuss next-generation gaming, as gamers. It's only natural that we compare the two systems, so you may continue in that regard. However, we don't need someone to convince us which one is better, we're all adults (mostly) who can make that decision for ourselves. In fact, it's quite insulting that you think we're in need of your little crusade. I like to think that most of us at iGTA (bar the GTAV board) are a little smarter than your average forum-dweller. If this continues, I suggest we have an XboxOne vs PS4 thread.
  14. I'm with Vicey on this one. Let's get the fuck out of all these shit countries, in hope that it's enough to stop motivating terrorist attacks...

    I suppose they're just trying to future-proof. If there even is such a thing.
  16. Bystander effect. Where exactly on the political spectrum do you fall? Honestly the thing that shocks me the most is that the attack happened and nobody tried to stop it. Weapon or not, if two pussies of any ethnicity, religion or variable you can think of jump somebody you can be damn sure I would stop it. Pussies just stood around and let two guys hack a dude to pieces. Probably due to bystander effect.

    The only thing is looking at the Specs for both systems, it seems to me that the Xbox One will have the sub-quality version of these games. As long as Dev's don't develop for Microsoft's X1 first, then port it too the PS4 like they did with a lot of 3rd party games this gen for the PS3 ( which gave it the lower quality game/ which everyone liked to point out/ Fricken' Idiots ). And which was mostly due to most people in America owning 360's, even though the PS3 was the more powerful system ( although it was more difficult to code for ). This gen should hopefully be a bit better for Sony with it's Console being much easier to develop for. Just take a look at the Specs, the PS4 is obviously the more powerful system. Look at how many more Terraflops the PS4 does, look at how many more GPU Cores it has. It has almost triple the memory speed and bandwidth of the Xbox One as well. Don't get too caught up on specs and power, otherwise the PC guys will migrate into this thread and shame us all. I'm joking, specs are important. Seriously though, I'm excited about this new generation. It's all nice having powerful gaming consoles, but I like to have that something extra that will help evolve gaming. Surely the ultimate goal of gaming is a point of virtual reality? Ask yourself this, why do specs and power matter so much? Probably because you want awesome near life-like graphics, right? Well, that's just further blending the line between the virtual world and reality. Kinect is a different route toward the same goal. Hopefully you understand where i'm coming from. I want video games to be fucking awesome, fully immersive experiences, with breathtaking displays of realism... all within my lifetime! At the end of the day, when you watch a movie on your TV, it's still not real. The actors may be real people, but you're not fully immersed in that experience (even with the likes of IMAX etc.). There's another piece of the puzzle that we've not figured out yet, but with gaming companies willing to try new ideas, eventually we will get there. (Eventually we'll be in the matrix.)

    We should probably reserve our judgements until E3. As much as we try, the majority of us on these forums are not retarded. Instead, we make logical, well-informed decisions before parting with hard-earned money. I like to think that the reason everyone is hating on XboxOne is because of the significance the Microsoft/Sony competition has on gaming. Without one driving the other, we will quickly come to accept adequacy. Therefore, we secretly/openly want both of the systems to be as good as possible.
  19. "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." - Mahatma Ghandi As much as you may not like to admit it, many of these attacks are driven more by political rather than ideological motivation. Although it is an unfortunate reality that the two come hand-in-hand, thereby undermining the practicalities of secularism, we must accept that international politics (particularly middle-east) do not adhere to Western (secular-based) practice. Therefore, our governments should aim to address these underlying issues, rather than treating the superficial symptoms. This is the true challenge we face, not only in our own country, but all over the world. The separation of religion and government is vital and can only be adressed over time. Our political leaders could never come outright and show explicit support for secularism, it would be calamitous! But I digress, never lose faith in those around you. There is more good in this world than we give credit.

    I have a feeling that E3 will give a much better indication to how these consoles will be.

    I'm not really into economics, but following the Treasurer's report last week, I have a feeling that Australia is on the verge of an economic down-fall. If not, then at least a slow-down. Apparently you have a $17bn deficit in your budget, and you know what that means to your intended education reforms. But I digress, this isn't the place for (international) politics. On XboxOne and PS4: Neither have blown my mind away. I have a strong feeling I'll become a PC gamer by the end of the year, especially with the upcoming release of CoH2!

    Well, that was underwhelming.
  23. Forgive my lack of man-beard.
  24. This. I think the creativity and skill in Dupz's sig makes it the best, but bOnEs is slightly more aesthetically pleasing.
