^Forza 5 truly is gorgeous. It makes me really want a Forza Horizon sequel on the Xbox One since I prefer open world racing games to games with set tracks.


Yeah Forza 5 is :)  I think i mentioned it here before but it is the best racer ive played.  It needs some more content but when it comes to gameplay it is fun as hell.

The Drivatars are pretty aggressive like people ar ein real life though.  Assholes are always bumping me.  That could be considered a flaw by some people but for me because im highly competitive i enjoy it because it always feels like im racing online.

Yeah, there is lots of potential for it. One thing I'd love to see is offline co-op for Halo so that you can play with your friends avatars if they're offline. That would make beating Halo on Legendary so much easier. 


That would be pretty cool.  343i is definitely using the cloud for something though i hope they are one of the first to show cloud computing.  I want to see the potential behind that.

Drivatar would be hard to do in an fps. The shooting skill part would work great but the navigation would be super hard. If 343i figured it out though, that'd be a huge plus for Halo 5. Online matches would never again be half populated!

Yeah, the shooting skill isn't that hard to do, Infinity Ward has pulled that off with the AI in CoD: Ghosts' Squad mode, they are quite good at getting on target. Navigation is definitely the bigger issue, the AI in Ghosts often do not traverse maps like real players, and they often don't work in teams and just go wherever they please. But with a learning cloud that records how each person plays over time, that problem could potentially be fixed. The bigger problem is getting the base AI to a point where it's good enough for players to not just get frusrated and give up on the AI modes, if you could pull that off the AI would improve over time, and developers could tranfer certain Avatar player data to each future game in these series and it would just keep getting better over time. 


I'd be shocked, shocked I tell you, if they used a learning ai. That's some complex stuff!

With Forza at least all it does is change variables in the ai brain. This is actually all done locally too. The only cloud aspect is uploading a player's variables to the server.

ughh, youtube sucks -_- They blocked most of my Gears of War and Halo Content in the US because of third party content. Apparently the music. I gave credit to them and im not making money off of them but theyre still blocked.

You know it is free advertising you little shits >.

Yeah, Google screwed up big time with the recent content flagging net on Youtube. It has affected many gaming commentators and critics and many of them are talking about switching to Twitch until Youtube is fixed. If enough of them leave Youtube is going to lose alot of their traffic, imagine what would happen if Pewdiepie left, he has the biggest channel on Youtube, though I haven't heard if he was affected by the flagging net or if he is planning on leaving. 

Actually it is mostly Youtube's fault from what I've heard, several video game publishers and developers have came forward and said that they had nothing to do with the flagging whatsoever yet videos of their games are being flagged. 


damn that sucks.  I dont care for channels like Pewdiepie and Tobuscus as they are both kind of annoying but they arent doing anything wrong either.  It is all free advertisement really, whether it be for music or videos.  If it wasnt for youtubers then DayZ and Minecraft may not have even taken off the way they did.
