Yeah, there are great mods for Crysis 1 but Vanilla isn't really that good anymore graphically.

Let's call it unofficial remasterization which blows any of the recent "graphic marvels" on consoles out of the water.

well thats a 4k, crysis 3 at 4 k would logically look better than crysis at 4k



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65)

Which wouldn't be at all surprising given Ubisoft's recent track record 

True, but both The Division and Rainbow Six: Siege are expected to be released this year, I can't see Ubisoft delaying both of their Tom Clancy games. Of the two, The Division could use a delay more than Rainbow Six could, because it's a very ambitious MMO-like game like Destiny was, I doubt Ubisoft wants to rush it out before it's ready like Activision did with Destiny, not after all the flack they took last year for not delaying AC Unity like they should have.

You're right about The Division, but one could just as easily ask if Ubisoft really wants to release Rainbow Six alongside Halo, CoD, and Battlefront. I wouldn't



Let's be realistic here, there are billions of shooters out there.

There isn't any slow year for the genre. Especially if you want to release your game in the fall.

Publishers are just idiots with their release windows. Always avoiding summer like the plague and trying to cram everything into the holiday period. It's absolutely moronic.

Agreed. Look at this year, so far for June-August we've got just 2 AAA games in June, none in July, and 1 in August. It's a perfect windows just sitting there waiting to be filled, but instead they'll all fight over the Holiday window, even releasing games that are too small to be noticed among the bigger games in that Holiday window.

Microsoft isn't helping...

Let's assume they got 5 AAA games to put out between end of september and November, January-August are completely empty besides some small games no one cares about. 



Looks good, I honestly don't get the complaints of BF3 not having SP, the series was never about SP and even then the SP matches were multiplayer matches with bots and a slight backstory sprinkled on top, it honestly looks like a petty reason to hate on the series for not pandering, Titanfall was the same and some people blasted that for not having SP yet it was the same as BF1+2 and was still a great game imo.

I know it says "in-engine" but I'd love to see some in-game footage, hopefully they'll show some settings we'll see and map customisations. I really loved map/match type playlists in BF2 and I'd also very much love LAN support.

I should probably hop onto some TF since I haven't had a chance to play anything due to work.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Well, at least MS delayed Quantum Break instead of trying to stuff it in there with the rest. Hopefully it'll release in Q1 or Q2 next year, same goes for Scalebound. But even with QB's delay it looks like MS is going to stuff Halo 5, RotTR, Forza 6, Fable Legends, and possibly Gears Collection, all into a 3 month window. And what's worse is that they'll probably have 2 or 3 third party games that they bought the marketing rights too (Black Ops 3, AC Victory, maybe another), so their marketing budget will be spread thin between all of those games. It's insanity. Did they learn nothing from what happened to Sunset Overdrive when they stuffed it into a busy Holiday season with very little advertising?

Those are all sequels tho, don't need as much advertising. 

That's why I find the line up so weak (besides me disliking most games), they needed fresh blood.

You couldn't be more wrong Tiago. MS couldn't ask for more explosive Fall/Winter line up than that.

Halo 5, ROTR and Forza are all system sellers. Which means they sell a lot.

Tomb Raider is a good way for MS to increase sales in Europe.

With a Tomb Raider bundle in Europe and a Halo 5 in the US, Xbox could move off the shelves faster than last holydays.

MS coudn't, but I can. 

Tomb raider is timed, everyone knows. 

Forza is the third forza this gen. It will probably be the best racer ever but still the third one. 

Fable is a f2p that no one will care about, much less move consoles.

The only thing is halo 5, which will be huge.
