I'd prefer UK over Hong Kong. Emirates Stadium better be there!

No please no. I don't want Splinter Cell to be open world. Don't ruin on of my favourite franchises for me. I don't understand the craze over open world the last few years. Open world was the stupidest thing about MGS V. It doesn't suit stealth games. I can understand the large levels but not open world.

Got a question for u guys. I have gamepass and want to pre-download SOD2. Is this possible? It won’t bother me if I can’t for this game. But if it was something like halo I’d be pissed. Some games I want to play at 9pm pt the night before release.

If you live in NZ you can download it now but not anyother country.

So no pre-downloading? Really hope this feature gets added. Not many games have launched same day as gamepass so far. Hopefully as more do this feature will get implemented.

DSL can go upto 300Mbps. Is that regarded as slow? You could also go the bonded DSL route and achieve multiples of that line rate... But I digress. ;)

A few interesting jobs have gone up at Playground games this past week Including:

Lead Scriptwriter - https://www.playground-games.com/careers/oREA7fwW/

Playground Games is seeking a Lead Scriptwriter to lead the writing team on a new AAA open world action/RPG project. You will join the project in the early stages of development and have a key role in developing the game’s story, setting and characters.

You’ll take ownership of the game’s script, working closely with the Narrative Director to manage the writing team and collaborate with other disciplines to deliver a world-class story from conception through to completion. You’ll be a strong collaborator with a proven track record of writing great dialogue, memorable characters, and compelling storylines for video games.

- A flair for writing characterful, witty dialogue

There is always a steady flow of new jobs getting posted and it's interesting to keep an eye on in Project 2 which  is their new AAA Open World ARPG or Fable as we pretty much know it to be.

Pretty much shows they they are still staffing up and as we heard they won't be fully up to their desired number by late 2018 and that the game is still likely in pre-production with a lot of Senior roles only going up a few weeks back so probably 2021 at the early end of the scale.
