Microsoft have announced 5 new first party studios.

No idea as to the sizes of these studios but this is a good sign for the Xbox platform

 

[Lethal]

Pre loading is now available for Madden 15. Making it the first game to have it.

 

[E92_]

The discounted price is for EA Access members I'm pretty sure.

Nah I'm local. Just on the internal beta so I get to download some apps before they are geo-restricted.

How do you get picked for the beta program?

Someone who is in the program needs to nominate you.

Then in a few weeks I think you get selected.

For anyone who wants some easy (and cheap) gamerscore, get Fibbage. $7 on the US store, good little game to play with the family or a group.
Basically a quiz game where you have to lie and you use your mobile as your controller.
Played it with the family, got 500 gamerscore in 10 or so minutes, hence why the suggestion for people who want the score.

No, not yet. They might have changed their locale to the US and downloaded it.

I don't get why there is so much love for Madden games. I generally love all sport games but Madden is so boring and repeatable. I enjoy NFL but just cant get into the Madden game as it seems so boring. Is there actually any skill to catching the ball?, from my experience you just push the right coloured button and pray the guy catches it then run, rinse and repeat.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Anyone willing to sell their copy of Zoo Tycoon for a reasonable price?

 

[TheKanga]

I missed out of one a month or two back but it had games in it I already owned on PS4.

If they did one with the XB1 exclusives I'd likely get it.

They might do Sunset Overdrive/Halo Collection bundle soon.

 

[TheKanga]

What's games is everyone getting now that we are getting into the good part of the year?
I'll be picking up Destiny, Metro Redux, Forza Horizon 2, Fifa 15 for the month on September.
It's my bday on the 26th as well.

 

[Mingo]

Dragon Age, Destiny, Sunset Overdrive, Halo Master Chief Collection will see me out to the end of the year. Looking forward to them all.

 

[AngryRanga]

FIFA 15, PES 15, WWE 2K15, GTA V and Far Cry 4. Can't wait

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

AC Unity,Alien Isolation,The Evil Within,Farcry 4,Forza Horizon 2 cant wait to get my hands on them.

 

[Hate]

Destiny, Halo, Fifa and CoD: AW (I call it every year s**t, but still get it but this year was contemplating to get it or not but the release that there will be a non-boost playlist sold me on it, if I don't like the new style, I can resort back to a classic style).

 

[SuperCats9]

Destiny doesn't excite me, not sure i'll get it.

Definitely will be picking up NBA2K15, FIFA 15 and The Shadow Of Mordor, all come out pretty soon.

Halo Collection, AC Unity and The Evil Within are also on my radar.

 

[E92_]

You'll be able to pre-order and pre-download Destiny.

Way more to it than that but you probably need to be an NFL fan to appreciate the hidden depth.

Quick question guys,

I havent had a gaming headset since the TB X11 for the 360 and decided to stop using it because i prefered the HDMI set up. Looking at getting one for this console, are they now compatible with HDMI or do you need an adapter?

 

[CasuallyDressed]

I love this system.

Huge updates before you can even get to the dashboard and then giant 9 gb updates for ******* games AFTER the initial install time.
