Can someone here explain the difference between CGI and in game cutscenes? I'll be honest, up until Angelus' post, I thought they were the same :(
Is CGI the stuff you see before loading up a game.. Like when you are at the start menu and you wait too long and sometimes a "movie/cinematic" like video graces your screen.

I don't know the exact meaning or something but in basic terms CGI means computer generated imagery it can be very gorgeous, it is very life like, used in movies and cgi does not uses game resources. 

in game cutscenes means they generally use game's resources or a bit better quality resources. 

Example Max The Curse OF Brotherhood the starting and ending scene are CGI and the other scenes are in game cutscenes.

Halo 4 the starting and ending are CGI and all other are in game cutscenes

I keep hearing that the driving is clunky in Watch Dogs. I don't know how the car driving in Watch Dogs ended up so bad, they put Ubisoft Reflections on the driving part of the game, and they developed the popular Driver series. I guess it's because Ubisoft spread Reflections to thin by having them work on Watch Dogs, The Division, and The Crew simultaneously.


Its bad because they mixed two things they wanted to make it easy and challenging at the same time but the end they screwed it

Possibly getting Watch Dogs tonight. Is the story any good? Is multiplayer fun?


Im liking the story a lot.  The gameplay is good, not amazing but good.  The driving mechanics could use a little work

Can't speak for the story, but I agree with the other points.

Best part IMO is the freedom and sheer depth and breadth of content. In particular, the Digital Trips are great and would be fine as games in their own right on Steam for £5-10 (depending on which involved) or something.

Oh god yes, please give me Tomb Raider sequel footage



Jaywood2010 on 05 June 2014

My bet is on Deus Ex though id prefer Tomb Raider. Just too early for tomb raider

Hoping for a new Tomb Raider personally.

And that Fizzie balloon is in equal parts awesome and scary. I approve.

If you could only play one Zelda game forever, which would it be? Gersh shares his pick here.
