Well I guess I just bought the Forza 6 Ultimate Edition. That demo was unbelievable. I went from "Yeah, Horizon 2 is all I need" to being knocked off my fucking feet with the Forza 6 demo. Wow. The fucking puddles actually being something real. The dust on the track actually doing things to your driving. Most games are "oh it's wet out! your traction is worse now!" but this actually causes you to adjust your racing line based on puddles and more. I'm so fucking impressed with this. A new bar has been set. It's insane.

If you have a Bone, try the demo. It's unbelievable.

see you at the starting line, friendo

I'll never buy another Vita game, avengers23. I love tower defense games, though, but it doesn't sound tower defensey enough.

Deception IV: Nightmare Princess is also available on the PS4.

But yeah, I get you. I couldn't get into Super Time Force Ultra or Titan Souls, my last two new games on the Vita.

I totally hated Super Time Force. Got it for free some month on Xbox and expected to love it, but it was absolutely terrible.

Sounds like Drive Club.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

except its actually coming out on time~~~~~~

 

[imBask]

I was super hyped for driveclub, but decided to wait for the free version since the reviews were bad

seeing all these threads about how the game was underrated and was actually great, I was super excited to finally try the free version when it came out

It's trash, Jeff Gerstmann was right, it's complete garbage

I wish I could play Forza 6 now

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Shitclub wishes it could slipstream a fart made by the Forza team. PS4 is seriously lacking in quality racers. Project Cars ain't carrying the torch, that's for sure. Till GT gets its shit together, the king of racing is unfortunately tied to one system.

of course i did brother, it's the best arcade racer since Burnout 3

I'm actually really hoping horizon 1 makes the cut for the original BC wave. Kind of liked how they did Colorado a bit better.

 

[FallingEdge]

Driveclub is an amazing game. Simcade racer. Best of both worlds. I have Dirt Rally, haven't played that. Want to try Forza 6 but don't know if I would play it enough (prolly not).

It should - it's on the list of coming soon. I did really like Horizon 1 but I don't know if I can go back.

Hulk Hogan has landed a gig as the new spokesman for major gambling website, Fanpicks.com.

The website is aware of Hogan's recent scandal, but believes he deserves a second chance. "We all make mistakes and he deserves second chances," said one of the spokesmen for the company.

Hulk adds, "I am looking forward to connecting with all my Hulkamaniacs during some of the biggest games of the year and at upcoming Fan Pick live events in the near future."

The company is offering a bonus to new members who sign up and use the code "Hulk25".

Driveclub is definitely bad in comparison to Forza. I've played some of the PS+ version and man, the driving just does not feel very good. I gave up on racing and just admired the image quality for a bit.

Wish I had an X1 for Forza 6. Jonesing for a sold racer. GT7 is a ways off still.

 

[Gonzalez]

This could be a real gamble for them.

Skipped Raw this week so decided to give Smackdown a watch instead:

- Opened with Wyatts in the ring, Harper got to talk a bit and he was pretty good. Bray cuts a straightforward, solid promo about Reigns being obsessed with becoming The Guy and Ambrose having blind loyalty to him despite being thrown to the dogs all the time so this goes down as a worked shoot. Stowman should have kept the mask on. He just looks goofy without it on. Nice to see a show not open with an Authority promo!

- Cesaro vs Miz. Cesaro makes Miz look real good here. Miz attacks the ribs, goes for a figure 4 into a rollup by Cesaro. Cesaro reverses figure 4 into a sharpshooter for the win. Didn't do much for me, typical Smackdown match evening up a Raw result in the same week.

- Jimmy Uso joins Roman and Dean for a promo. They are really pushing this family angle which screams a Rock appearance but for a rather heatless feud like this it seems a waste. Jimmy is obnoxious as fuck. He's Samoan Mojo.

- Paige vs Sasha. LMAO the muted crowd for Sasha's entrance, overlaid with canned boos. Fucking Smackdown. Sasha has an inlay promo which was pretty great as usual. She's got that conviction and confidence. Jerry says he could watch the Twitter battle between the girls all day long. Match starts with some full team brawling around the ring, shades of TNA. Everyone except for Paige and Sasha get ejected. "Stephanie McMahon really kicked it off guys" FUCK OFF BOOKER. FUCK OFF STEPH. Some of the most blatantly added crowd noises in this match as the crowd goes really really quiet during this. Paige dumps Sasha to the outside and we get some of the worst shaky cam bullshit I have ever ever ever seen.

To be fair, Paige and Sasha really upped the intensity here and the finish to the match is fine. Big brawl, teams come out again. DQ. Not the worst I've seen from the main roster women since the NXT callups.

There is an ad for "Geeks who Drink". Dear god.

- A 10 minute recap of the Seth Rollins Raw stuff. 10. Minutes. Smackdown.

Raw did not look good except for the New Day.

- Byron with Rollins in the back. Light Justin Bieber chant. Rollins rattles off the script as usual. They are pushing the statue harder than the possibility of Stang winning the title. MY FELLAH. Sheamus threatens a cash in on NoC. That could be cool, what with the 2 matches Rollins has.

- NEW DAY. Big E gives a death scream at the end of "POWAAAAAAAAAAAA". Xavier is sans trombone Dean comes out to a big, legit pop. Roman is there. New Day are getting those New Day rock chants. Booker says that everything that Bray has predicted has come true, which is a bigger lie than the canned crowd reactions. Jimmy gets tagged in and is all fire. He hits the Rear View to Kofi. XAVIER GETS THE TROMBONE HANDED TO HIM. The trombone is very over. Big New Day rocks chants. Roman gets a hot tag, big pop. Murders Kofi. Roman should be a heel. All his facials, his moveset, screams heel.

Wyatt interference. Stowman with shades of MGS5 is choking out Jimmy. Jimmy dies.

- Lucha Dragons vs Ascension. Ascension come out with Cody and an insert promo. Cody kills it as usual. Sin Cara does a single move and tags out.

Holy shit its an Ascension squash! Cody does some light distraction stuff into a Fall of Man.

- Charlotte and Nikki backstage. Wow this was pretty good! Charlotte sounds quite convincing here and Nikki was fine too. Nikki calls her delusional and Charlotte retorts with "Call me whatever you like but after Monday you'll have to call me champion"! She CAN talk. Sometimes. On a taped show. Backstage.

- Seth vs Ryback. Raw repeat numero 3! Eh, standard enough. Rollins looks good as usual. Heels beatdown Ryback on the outside. Neville does a dive onto everyone except KO for NO RAISIN. Ryback counters out of the Pedigree into a Shellshock but Owens pulls his legs out from under him. Rollins hits the Pedigree.



Smackdown gets a C.

Ascension look right with Cody in the middle. I'm good with that.

I wouldn't associate wwe's viewership with the death of cable though, it's also a quality issue

but the NFL numbers are ridiculous and hard to understand, maybe I live in a weird bubble but I pretty much don't know anyone under 26 year old who has cable TV

And they know they're going to get killed on Monday, so I doubt they'll be motivated to try, which means the upcoming Raw is going to be even more hot garbage than usual.

I basically have ABC, NBC, and FOX and that's all I kind of need. NFL Network is something else that airs their games online as well.

And I agree about it being more of quality than anything.

Something going for them, like last night, is they had two huge fan-bases and big names associated in the game. The NFL has stars and they get new ones every year. The WWE keeps trotting out guys like The Undertaker, Lesnar, and pushes for The Rock because they are the draws nowadays that bring in people. Take them away and you got Cena and a bunch of nothing. It's their own fault.

Didn't we get news that WWE is now making more money, thanks to the Network, than with the traditional PPV model? I don't think we will ever ysee drastic change unless it really get's into the pockets of Vince.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Yes but we can't make a clear picture of their finances without knowing what the overhead costs the network brings are.

 

[Striker]

How many months has it been free for new subs this summer/year? I know I have gotten two months for it due to that. I didn't re-sub.

 

[imBask]

then again we're talking about football... I watch hockey, soccer, baseball, wrestling, tennis, but man I just can get into football and i've tried multiple time

I gave up in the second quarter last night, it's so boring and it's the only show on TV with more ads than RAW, it's unbearable

I've been riding the free months as well.

Being Canadian with no cable subscription, I can't even get the WWE Network streaming service still

I want to cheat the system and get free months too

thanks Vince

No, the network would need to add many more viewers for it to replace PPVs in profitability. The WWE is now actually making money again but thats because they have cut the dividend and expenses after the week early number.

Fanpicks looks like TNA compared to Draftkings and Fanduel. Hogan will lend his name to anything.

Except for the two community threads I regularly visit, this one and the Giant Bomb one, I really feel like NeoGAF is no longer for me. At least large portions of it. When I see the responses to this thread I can't deal with it anymore: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1109369

It feels like NeoGAF has grown too much and the amount of smart people is by far outweighed by pea brains. Seriously you can't have a discourse about this? I guess shouting about how dumb it all is is way easier.

That does make sense, but like I said, it doesn't seem like they feel changes are in order.

The NFL has a great PR and branding team, as seen in the "what would it take for you to stop watching NFL games" thread, where people will literally never stop watching unless they go blind or it comes out that every owner in the league is running a child porn ring.

Their branding has been nothing short of miraculous. I think the game of football is pretty bleh, yet they've built a league where they can have commercials ever 2 minutes, reward blatant cheaters, never stick to any of the punishments they hand out, and worst of all intentionally try to hide information on the effects of concussions because they were afraid of it ruining their bottom line. Yet, people don't care at all. It's amazing. Carnier than wrestling.

Work is currently on some dumbfuck level alpha shit right now.
