+1

+ Everybody but MS knew that add-ons have never done well historically, hence why they tried to force it on us with the "part of are direction" BS

The Nurburgring really ruined racing games for me. It may be great in real life or whatever but it's **** to drive round in a game imo. It's second only to giant ovals :problem:

You're obviously being serious, so I won't ask "Are you being ****ing serious!?!" :lol:

I assume you're not into sim racing?

I used to but I'm sick of them now. The Nurburgring is a dull, laborious chore and went a long way to putting me off sims.

Well... If it's all about the games with XBO moving forward, the conference certainly met that. Plenty of games and good to see plenty coming between now and the end of 2014.

Not sure based on the conference of anything mind blowing though.

Just been bashing the granny out of the Nurburgring track on Forza5. It's pretty much awesome imo.

For the Capcom fighting fans, Capcom have now released a DLC pack for Dead Rising 3, called (wait for it): Dead Rising 3: Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha

:lol: Obviously able to take the pee out of themselves with the name. Looks pretty good actually. As I was on the fence about DR3, I think I'm certainly going to buy it now for this DLC pack.

Those crazy Canadians.... I doubt the original Japanese SF development teams were too impressed with the title mocking their videogame legacy. Not that anyone creative works at Capcom anymore... :( Capcom are a shadow of their former self nowadays imo. It's such a shame, they were such a gaming powerhouse in the 80's and 90's.

Rumour has it that's exactly what's in the works, with the release of the latest SDK and Kinect resource free-up.

I bought DR3 over the weekend, so will have to put some time into "loading it up" and trying the DLC.

Really? I thought/think totally the opposite. Massive amount of variety with some proper point to point arcade racing over a plethora of "circuits", pick & choose challenges ahoy and loads of other event content. It's been one of the few arcade racers that I've actually got into for many years.

And the soundtrack...... is frapping great (using -at the time- current dance tracks amongst other genres).

The UI is truly **** atrocious and a real backwards step. I hate it. The PS4 & WiiU are lightyears ahead where this is concerned.

Also, Netflix on it seems to have lost the My List and Previously Watched categories too which renders it pretty much useless, yet in line with the Xbox UI given that everything is unnecessarily tricky and a chore to find. Having to use the search function to find something I was watching only an hour ago only to find it's bumped me right back to the start instead of where I'd last left it is infuriating, as is it crashing 9 times out of 10 when I try to skip forward to continue where I left off.

**** you Xbox :problem:
