Reliance Entertainment, latest movie productions include such Bollywood classics as Singham and Bodyguard.

I can't wait for the annoying "hey dude put it on youtube" voices of Dirt 3 and GRID 2 to be accented with Hindi Bollywood stars....

the game is obviously designed with a controller in mind, because using a wheel is fucking awkward as hell. The deadzones are all sorts of fucked up.

Damnit...the original GRID was the same way, just didn't feel good despite the wheel feedback. Considering the arcade fun of F1 2012 and Dirt 3, I thought Codemasters would at least be able to make it work in GRID 2.

Looks like they are committed to catering to sheeple. Saw this coming though, look what they did to the Dirt series: removed Pikes Peak, removed +5min rally races, heck I even miss the slow ass trucks.

Then in F1, they've yet to make a timing chart available in all modes besides races, and multiplayer modes are limited to just qualifying and races...can't even goof around with friends in a hot lap mode, or spectate a friend and give advise on how to drive a car in a crappy F1 "simulator"

Look how bitter you've made me CM!

I've looked at every PC review for GRID 2, and not one reviewer mentioned the handling of the cars with a gaming wheel. GRID one handled much better with a game pad, andI had hopes that CM would develop GRID 2 on a stronger foundation that was wheel capable. Looks like they didn't.

Glad I didn't preorder.

Consoles have held PC gaming back so much technologically that any forward movement is most welcome.

Yeah, especially AI. It seemed like every new and well produced title had AI moments where it felt like "whoa never seen AI do that before"...half this generation has been just scripted behavior and events. But hey, Lara's hair looks great, doesn't it?

I really hope someday they make a truly updated version of CS with better animation and graphics rivaling that of today's best.

I get it, it is an arcade shooter, but it would be better if it wasn't 80% headshots with weapons that in now way in hell would do a headshot at that distance - sort of game.

Spammy and gets old quick.

What, you don't like the 100 yard 9mm headshot? (From a 4" pistol barrel, no less?)


There's no doubt that they've changed the gameplay and gun balancing to encourage to different experience than previous CS games. In competitive play, a 5 man glock rush during pistol round use to favor CT's on most maps, but now requires steady counter grenades and flashes to neutralize the impact. Unfortunately GO flash/smoke grenades seem to be the most inconsistent yet, and that's where I find the most frustration.

Unless they lock the framerate of PC ports to 30FPS so it doesn't break things like animations which they hard coded to only look correct at 30.

Usually those games aren't worth playing anyways.

Keep in mind a lot of people use consoles on their TV's with 120Hz or 240Hz smoothing enabled, despite the gimmickry and input lag.

TF2 with VR is a reach.

One of the best genres will be racing sims. You want immersion? How about a hydraulic sim seat with VR? I'm going to start saving up now...

Best review summary I've seen so far:

The first game’s soul was traded away by Crysis 2....Crysis 3 has neither direction nor freedom, though it does have human weapons, alien weapons, a cloaking device, an Armour mode, and a bow. And with this many options at your disposal, Crysis 3 insists, surely you must be having fun. - Edge


I'll check it out for the graphics, maybe showoff what a PC can do to consolers, and rub it in that next-gen consoles can't even pull this off

They lose me at drifting Mclarens.
Since the Forza series I just can't fucking stand figure skating.. er... drifting, and to show off a RACING game with guys in RL drifting is unforgivable.

Agreed. Forza has just the right amount of arcade drifting to complement its physics engine and gameplay.

I enjoyed GRID too, but it just didn't feel right with a wheel, and I ended up completing the game with a 360 pad. Despite the stupendously insightful advise on oversteering in the video, the in-game footage still shows excessive sliding through turns. It is an awfully fast car with limited downforce and likely street rated rubber, but it does seem to be a function of the game and not the car setup.

Codemasters does spread quite a large pool of racing genres, all the way from Dirt Showdown to F1 2012. GRID 2 should be somewhere in the middle, and if anything, leaning towards F1 which is their #1 revenue generator.

does anyone have some change , a couple of dollars to spare, to throw in another 8GB of RAM into the upcoming PS4?

Someone should start a Kickstarter.

I thought the limited amount of RAM on the PS3 had become the biggest gripe for developers?

If you want better AI, play multiplayer. In which case, CS:GO is already out.

Tbh, I am not sure I`d want a game as fast as Hawken seems to look, that close to my eyes. Now, Mechwarrior Online, cause it is a tad slower might be cool. But a fast Quaker?

Agreed. They said the tracking is better compared to other headsets, but is it good enough for twitch gameplay?

Since it has GG, i feel for it - now wish I hadn't. The gun mechanics are all messed up and doesn't "feel" right. Headshots are still way to high of a % and most of the COF doesn't make sense for the gun. It is as though they randomly assign a COF for a type of gun that doesn't fit it at all.....

oh well. I never learn I guess.

I really can't agree with any of that at all, especially that any of the gun mechanics are messed up in any way. They mostly feel like they did with other versions of CS, only with working hitboxes that mean you're actually hitting what you're aiming at. It's definitely a step in the right direction over what CS:S was doing.

Headshot percentage is high because that's what everyone is aiming for and practically everyone playing has had years of practice at doing it.

Which firing cone seems strange? The only weapons I absolutely cannot stand are the shotguns; they seem even more worthless than they used to be, but everything else seems pretty good with a balance between mobility and spread. If something has too much of a spread, stop and fire or crouch and fire and it fixes it.

Shotguns suck? Awww man, I was thinking of getting this for some oldschool teamplay but now...I always prefered shotguns in these type of games.

IMO, shotguns do not suck. The pump is still a 1 shot beast at close range, and the sawed off puts out even more damage. I had a double kill with one shell a couple nights ago. The XM1014 auto is just like previous iterations, which means it is still worthless if a target is outside spitting distance. And they've introduced a new one called MAG-7, which has a tighter damage area and it has the longest effective range of all the shotguns, but only 5 rounds. MAG-7 is easily my favorite new gun in CSGO.

I've been a Wipeout fan since the beginning, I've played every Wipeout game ever released. Wipeout HD/Fury were the best, most well rounded of the entire series, and butter smooth as usual. How many games run (most of the time) at 60 FPS 1080p on PS3?

I find it very hard to believe there won't be a PS4 title down the road...
