Loved the 'Squeezing the NES' article in this one. Reminded me of Andrew Braybrooks old Morpheus dev diary entries in Zzap64. Perfect.

Yep, I did exactly the same and wanted to set the thing on fire then throw it in the fucking sea. Painful, but lesson learnt. I'd say leave it a bit and calm down, then start again. It's worth it in the long run.

Good tip about the contract, thanks. I'm waaaaay out of contract so that might swing it. I'll give it a go.

I read on here somewhere that they've wised up to that and only act once you cancel? But yeah, once I work out how to watch F1 without them I'm going to ring up fully intending to cancel unless they make with the discounts! (I'll probably go for SkyQ too if they dangle a big enough carrot)

Yeah, I know, thanks. Hence my looking into alternatives.

Has anyone tried the official F1 streaming service? Although it's not officially available in the UK as technically it's available on free to air TV, a VPN with an American or German accent seems to fool it... Seeing as Sky is £70 a month and F1 is the only reason I keep it, I'm interested to know if this is a viable alternative.

Conversely I've played online a few times, and it was pretty much the same experience as the single player just with 'real' people. To be fair though, my experience online is usually the same as you describe, which is why despite loving driving games I almost never venture online in GT Sport, PCars etc.

Somehow mine arrived this morning! Played a few hours today and it’s great (PS4 Pro). Handles well, very pretty and raises the odd proper laugh. Has as a Demolition Derby / Flatout feel to it. (£26 from Base.com)

This guy! It's hard, but very rewarding when you get a move right.. and on purpose. Like jumping through the air, landing, remembering to hold the slide button down and katana'ing a guy in his recently decapitated face. One thing I've not seen mentioned in reviews is that you can free move about by holding down the big button on the left hand move controller and pointing your face in the direction you want to wander. Do it for too long and you'll be dead mind, but it's possible.

Goddammit, stop bumping this thread without saying "VR mode available now!!" (and it being true)

EDF. Always more armour to collect, more weapon combos to try out.

That’s the thing, the progress bar has gone, replaced with ‘ready’ and the notifications said Installed. Nothing’s changed apart from me having a cuppa and waiting, now it works. Looks like it was still doing something in the background despite all appearances saying it was done. Either way - it’s bug huntin’ time now!

Well, quite. Trouble is, it claims to have finished.

Just downloaded this and tried the first two missions. It wont let me play the third single player ‘offline’ mission. Comes up with “Until the download has been completed, you cannot select this mission” Also complains about the mode not being available until download completes if I try online mode. Anyone else?
