I should be getting Unmechanical for review, so will try and do a twitch stream of the game if anyone is interested.

Also on that, I hope to be streaming The Escapists this Friday evening at http://www.twitch.tv/gamestyle1 if anyone wants to watch that and join in with some questions.

Riptide GP2 looks decent, but sold by the moment it said... From the developers of Hydro Thunder Hurricane.

Vid showing some quick games of #IDARB which looks like great (if utterly chaotic) fun with a few friends over..

Plus a vid showing off Hashbombs.. You'll be able to tweet or put certain hashtags in the Twitch stream comments to cause various things to happen in-game..)

The last tweet says D4 has now exceeded one million downloads! Would be mint to see this one continue with some more chapters.

btw if anyone missed the free dlc that was available periodically each week since launch for a limited time they've recently re-added them:

State of Decay also revealed today:

It's pretty ugly, isn't it? I'm slightly interested though.

Yeah, from that footage it just looks like a slighty higher res 360 version. Still suffering a little from slowdown and popup, too. Then again, it's a bad choice of area to demo the game. Should've started it in one of the downtown areas, and perhaps blown some shit up to show us the improved effects.

-

TrueAchievements shows 17% of players having finished it, and that's on a website full of completionists. The real figure is probably way lower. I'd guess the target audience for a second chapter to be under 100k.

Still hope it gets made.

For the past year there has been a steady supply of rumours and reports that Microsoft is working with virtual reality (VR) technology. That speculation has been spurred on by the company itself at times. While a reveal of such a device is still yet to come, Microsoft has dropped a major teaser for its own head-mounted display (HMD) at a recent media briefing, although it currently looks more along the lines of augmented reality (AR).

Below is an image teasing the HMD, first shown at the media breifing in Redmond, Washington. It shows one player using a HMD that looks far more along the lines of a set of glasses than a pair of goggles. With the kit, the user can see a virtual roman collessum in the middle of the living room, while another user with a tablet can see it through this screen. An Xbox One can be seen running in the background with the image of the Kinect camera shown on-screen.

Further details about the HMD are yet to be announced.

You're going to be able to stream your Xbox One games to Windows 10. :o

Interesting... why not just let us play Xbox games on the PC natively? Bring Xbox Live to PC and release all games across both formats. Oh they tried the XBox live thing before on the PC didn't they?!

Still would be nice and MS would extend their game sales and possibly the live subscription base...

Streaming games is OK but its bound to be laggy and you will get a compromised gaming experience. Tried to play a few PS4 games remotely on the Vita - the 1080p screen didn't scale at all well onto a 5" screen text was hard to read.

Anyway good to have options and all that.

One day I might be able to play my digital XBO games on my PC! :)

I'd assume because there would be loads of compatibility issues.

Wouldn't have thought so PC is x86?

Also the Xbox One runs in virtual machines apparently:-

http://windows8central.com/index.php/en/gaming/item/2571-xbox-one-is-nothing-more-than-fancy-virtual-machines

Which is a derivative of the Hyper-V hypervisor that is found in Windows 8. So its not beyond the realms of possibility that MS could create some Hyper-V Xbox One virtual machines for Windows 10. Just make the initial version play games digitally only and voilà. MSs own steam.

no.they make money on the games, not the hardware, surely?

Every game sold on Xbox makes Microsoft money. Sony would have released The Last Of Us on 360 to a larger audience if selling the most games was all that mattered.

That's not including the many other positives for companies to have their own platform for delivery of all types of media installed in living rooms.

Not really, they may be making less money on that individual game by having it soley on their system, but that means you need to buy the PS3 / PS4 to play it, and once you have that system, you will buy other games, which in turn make the platform holder more money.
