Sounds very much like the original. Which I loved.

Is a new planescape game undertow?

 

Yep, produced by Brian Fargo and a lot of the original Torment team are working on it.

Ah sh*t, so now I need a new gaming pc. The original is one of my favourite games of all time. I doubt it will come to consoles.

It won't. It uses the same engine as Pillars of Eternity. Should run on a good notebook though.

It both is and it isn't like the original.

 

It's brainless fun like the original (in a very good way) and it plays very fast. One of the key differences though is that the original Doom only plays as fast as you want it to, you had to be pretty good to play it at full pace but you weren't penalised for playing slow, with this Doom you largely have to play it fast or else things become difficult (the game gives you a lot of help to keep the pace up this time though).

 

Another big difference is that the original doom used massive complex mazes, this game keeps things simpler and tends to lock you in rooms facing waves of demons a lot. 

 

For me, the game starts off of a bit repetitive, small selection of weapons, enemies and skills but once you start building up your arsenal and the enemy varieties improve, the game becomes amazing and you have a complete blast.

 

Overall, it's easily the most fun I've had with an FPS in god knows how long.

Better than the new wolfenstein?

Happy days,my old HP should run it then.

CPU and RAM is on level for minimum specs, but it looks like there's no dedicated video card, only integrated graphics. That could be problematic.

Try to run this test for PoE, the result should be more or less valid for Torment too:

Just checked......and thats a no. The recommended upgrades was......a new computer ha ha. Ah well.

My step brother dropped off Far Cry:Primal for me at the start of the week seen as I'm housebound and he's got a lot of studying to do.

So I've completed it (including all achievements) in about 28 hours of gameplay, I really enjoyed it. I'm not normally a far cry fan but the prehistoric aspect of the game intrigued me & I've bought far cry 4 to give a try as it was only £12.

The only complaints I'd have is that the story was quite weak I felt. There wasn't really much structure to it and it became quite repetitive as I didn't feel there was much variation in the side missions, but an original idea and I thought they done ok with it.

I would recommend it, but wait until it drops in price!

rumours of at least 2 months delay for No Mans Sky.

 

Oh and a good deal for £50 xbox gift card for £38.

PC is superior anyway.

Got doom last night and what a blast, proper old school fps. Absolutely love it so far.

Total War: Warhammer.

 

Buy it. It's amazing.

got a lot of college stuff to do, threw it all out the window

for someone who never play an uncharted game before, this game is breathtaking, the scope the graphics the cinematic action sequence

 

think this year's goty has already been won

Sold my ps4. Too much of a distraction.

No mans sky delayed until August.

A delay that big, this close to the release date worries me.

Playstation should just stop announcing release dates because pretty much everything they announce gets delayed.

Nice!

 

Prepare for some aggro!

Uncharted has been a blast.

 

I was a little skeptical at first, but wow... I was totally blown away. 

 

Well worth the money.

NBA 2K16 is free this month on PS Plus. Pretty impressive release that is. There's rumours that Watchdogs will be released free as well.
