I'll probably pick up Titanfall on the PC as well.

I like playing on monitors, anyway.

Has anyone noticed the "lag" a tv screen as compared to a PC monitor?

I tried playing my PS3, with Black Ops II, on my LCD TV. The response time was 10-20 ms (don't remember exactly).

That's literally the difference between killing or getting killed.

Playing on my monitors where the response time is 2ms, I have much more success. I am a berserker when playing FPS (I run and gun like a mad man) which gets me lots of kills but also lots of deaths.

Has anyone else noticed the response time thing? Has it improved your game when you switched to fast responding monitors?

If you haven't tried it, I recommend gaming on a 24-32 inch monitor with a response time of less than 4ms. You'd be surprised what that does for your success in online FPS games.

I said all that to say this: I look forward to playing Titanfall on PC.

Edit - for those of you that think 20ms isn't that big of a deal, try starting and stopping a stop watch as fast as you can. Most people, who are fast, can stop the clock around .02-.05 seconds which is 20-50 ms.

Assuming both parties react equally (both of you have the same guns, same perks, same attachments, and aim just as well as each other), if you're playing on a monitor and the other person on an LCD TV, you will get the kill almost every time. Getting one more bullet in, during a very brief gunfight, makes a difference. It makes a remarkable difference for me because my Kill to Death ratio will be even or even drop below 1 when I play FPSs on a TV. But it is almost always over 1 when playing on the monitors. I notice that the biggest difference is I win more of those gunfights (where both players notice each other at the same time) and my aim still sucks with a controller.

Anyway, hope my advice helps someone improve their game, out there. This new generation of consoles would be the perfect time to switch to faster response time screens. 😄

Kind of sad how I have noticed it, but most of the games I play don't really benefit from that kind of increase in response time.

That must be why I suck at FPS games on consoles...yeah, that's it.

No, you're absolutely right, it's very noticeable.

Ok, so PS4 came today, everything's working great so far, no problems.

Got Killzone and it looks amazing, graphically. Like, really good.

Also the PS4 is very fast and speedy, you can go from the game to the system menu almost instantly, and then back just as fast, it's really swift and responsive.

Also the controller. Wow, it's such a HUGE improvement over the PS3 controller. The sticks are much tighter and responsive. The triggers are great. And the new longer handles make the whole thing a lot more comfortable.

That's great to read. I didn't like the PS3 controller (still don't).

Yeah, same. I used it and it was adequate but it never really felt right to me. This one just feels outstanding. I think I like it more than the X360 controller, honestly. Really impressed. The console itself looks really nice too, very slick and modern. It's longer than I was expecting though. Almost doesn't fit properly in my cabinet.

It doesn't look good for the PS4 and mine will be here by tomorrow:http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-4-Launch-Edition/product-reviews/B00BGA9WK2/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 I hope half of those negative reviews are fake. I honesty would do anything to avoid the headache of having to ship back a DOA console. Get your shit together, Sony! I had such faith in you!

Someone sure is lacking faith.

As for me, I'm not that worried of my PS4 breaking down when the possibility is only at .04%. If it were any higher, then I'd start biting my nails.

You also have to remember that the people who have their systems brick are way more likely to have it be known to the internet than those whose systems are working fine.

So I found this picture of you:

Been thinking of getting my girlfriend a Wii U for Christmas (sneaky way of getting it for myself too), do anyone have any recommendations for what bundle to get?

Exactly. Most people with working consoles are going to be playing it, not going online and rubbing it in to everyone else that theirs works.

As someone who likes the DS3, I gotta admit, the DS4 blows the DS3 out of the park.

Reviews are coming in for XB1 games.

Dead Rising - decent scores
LocoCycle - shitty
Crimson Dragon - shitty
KI - from what I read, the mechanics are good/excellent but everything else is lackluster.

Looking forward to see if Forza 5 gets good reviews or not.

My son, who is 9, wanted to play that game and it does look good.

After my son saw the trailer for the game, he said, "Dad, I just pooped and peed myself at the same time."

😆

Hahaha, funny.

It's crazy to think that Autovista mode is now available for every car in the game.

That's pretty damn amazing.

I didn't know what that was. I google searched it. That's pretty dang sweet, actually.

I don't know how extensive each car will be. In Forza 4, each car that was represented (there was 20 or so cars in Autovista mode) had tidbits about each major component. Also, some cars had Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear talk about it. For instance, the F1 McLaren, he said he appreciated the engineering skill involve in the car but he didn't like driving it because it was very twitchy.

And the funny thing is that he was right!

But I'm unsure if each car in Forza 5 will have that same level of detail. I doubt it.

From what I understand about Forza 5 there less overall cars, but the ones that are there are still as detailed as Forza 4 cars were.

Hmm, I guess I will see this Friday (if my order gets shipped in time).
