    This came out today for consoles? :eek: I swear I had it pre-ordered. :hmmm: Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to enjoy it on my PC instead. Cracking game.

    PlayStation 4 Update 3.50 Available Now As well as being hard at work closing down studios, Sony have also been hard at working further improving the PlayStation 4. Here are the 4 most notable features added/improved in 3.50: Appear offline Friend online notifications Remote Play for PC and Mac Custom Scheduled events Appear Offline Have you ever been on your PS4 and just wanted to chill out and watch a film or play on a game on your own with no interruptions only to be bombarded by messages and invites from one of those friends that do everything they can to drive you up the wall? *breathes* Well fear not, you can now appear offline and do your own thing. Friend Notifications Another feature that has been slightly copied from the Xbox is friend online notifications. For those of you who have friends that are seemingly attached to you at the hip you can now set a notification that pops up when they pop online so you can spend more precious time together. How sweet? Remote Play Remote Play is now not exclusive to handheld devices like the Xperia phones and the PS Vita. If you own a powerful enough PC or Mac you will be able to use it to play PS4 games by plugging your DualShock 4 controller in via USB. So if you really really want to you can play a bit of CoD or NFS whilst sat on the throne with your laptop on your lap. I think this will makes some peoples lives complete! You can download the Remote Play software from here if you're running Windows 8.1 or higher and Mac OSX 10.10 or 10.11. The max resolution is only 720p but do you really need more than that when on the throne? Resolution options: 360p, 540p, 720p Default resolution – 540p Frame rate : Standard (30fps), High (60fps) Default frame rate – Standard (30fps) There are a few other minor features that have been added but I'll let you head over to the PlayStation Blog to check them out as I'm sure you've had enough of my blabbering for one day.

    The idiotic powers that be have finally conceded defeat to all of the teams and the majority of the fans and have decided that the smart thing to do is to revert qualifying back to the way it used to be. You know, the times when it worked? And not like in the previous 2 races where nothing was happening for most of the hour. But this leads to the next question, what are they going to mess up next?

    So glad they've finally added an appear offline feature! Will finally be able to watch a Bluray without first having to scramble around the back of the TV stand to unplug the network cable. Friend notifications could be handy too. :) Only about 10 years behind Microsoft! :lol:

    No need to thank me. :cool: Good to be back though and it still feels rather snappy and fast which is great. And to be fair, the status page did say we'd be offline for anything ranging from 1000 to 9999 years so...

    Probably not as it'll be a big draw for Amazon Prime. Dare say it'll be easy to get your hands on once it has aired as was the case with TG, TG USA and FG.

    Vettels problem did suck but at least Kimi kept Mercedes on their toes somewhat even if he wasn't able to challenge Rosberg. Not really sure you can call it a racing incident, he came from a long way back and crashed into the side of a car on the first corner on the first lap. At least leave it a few laps before you try stuff like that so you can be sure your tyres and brakes are up to temperature. Was a cracking race for Mr Gross Jeans in the Haas. They improved on their great result from Australia and this time weren't helped out by a red flag. Just shows what a new team can do when they tie up with one of the front runners and imo it's quite refreshing to see. Manor are also improving now that they have a decent engine behind them and there's been some good midfield racing. :nods:

    But I don't even have a B game. :(

    [sPOIL]Ahh that's it F1, give Bottas a penalty for taking Hamilton out just after Hamilton has overtaken him after being stuck behind for a couple of laps.:rolleyes: [/sPOIL]
  11. Camel
    [sPOIL]Thanks Bottas. You've ruined the chance of that by taking Hamilton out in the first corner so Rosberg will win gain and I'm guessing it will be without a single fight. Boring.[/sPOIL]
  12. Camel
    Well, what a terrible start to the Bahrain GP. The engine in Vettels Ferrari decided that it no longer wanted to be an engine. Can Hamilton and Rosberg put on a good enough show without Vettel sticking his nose in to spice things up?
  13. Camel
    Oooh nice. This is similar to what I was going to do last week before I chose a wet Nurburgring which was a mistake. Already had a look at all of the pre 1960s cars so think I know which one I will try first for this. :nods:

    There's apparently a bit of a power struggle going in on Formula 1 at the moment, and has been for a few years now. On the one hand you have Bernie Ecclestone, the power crazed senile(?) old man and the FIA with Jean Todt. And then on the other hand you have the teams pushing for what they believe will be best for Formula 1 and the GPDA which most drivers are a part of. Bernie choosing to stick with Pirelli, a tyre manufacturer who have had a shakey few years in Formula 1 and it doesn't really look to improve much over the next few years with their new deal. Which seemed to be purely based on money. The current qualifying fiasco. The majority of fans are not happy with it because the track is empty for half of qualifying now and drivers just watch and wait to get knocked out. The teams agreed to go back to the 2015 qualifying format after the farce of Australia but Jean Todt didn't give them the option so they're stuck with the new format that just doesn't work. Just so that the teams/drivers can't guide the path that F1 goes down. Viewing figures are dropping, there's not as much of a following from younger fans as they would like so what's the best way to resolve this? Of course, it's to sign deals that send live F1 races to pay TV which puts them out of reach for a large amount of people. A lot of people feel that F1 is simply not worth paying upto £500 a year for. And why not ban the use of social media in the paddock. There are many more hairbrained ideas that Bernie and the FIA have pushed through or tried to push through regardless of what the teams/fans and drivers say. Double points for the last race. New engines just years after the big push for the current hybrids. Rule changes that then get changed before the season starts. The list goes on. It's all about the money and short-term gain. Is Formula 1 on course to self destruct at the hands of Bernie and Todt or will the teams and fans win in the end?

    Are you going to choose the next theme now or wait a week? :p

    Actually got chance to watch a few hours of racing today! Usually miss the BTCC. :( Got to admit, Brands isn't one of my favourite tracks though but there should be plenty of action to keep me happy.

    Don't think anyone is on it at the moment and there's only 15 mins to go. I did manage a 9:34 in the Formula E but it was a dirty lap because I didn't run wide in turn 2... If you go near the white line on the outside of the corner it's a dirty lap for some reason. Rest of the lap was fine I think. >.< Decided that the puddles in this game are a bit stupid. Clip the water with an unloaded inside wheel and you lose all of the grip from all of the tyres pretty much instantly. As in they all go above 100% grip and turn red in the telemetry. :confused: I hope next weeks track/car isn't as crap as this one. Thought this one would be good but I was a bit wrong.

    Just been GTA3 again this weekend so far and that's all it probably will be if I get chance to go on a game tomorrow. Terrible graphics, cheesey storey but it's such a great game Just got on to Staunton island for what must be the 5th or 6th time in my life. :lol:

    This one will have to do. Come on 0 votes, back to my winning ways! <<ENTRY POST>>

    You can reverse and turn around and drive the wrong way around the track so you get a full speed start with warm/hot tyres. :nods: That alone will probably only give you 3 or 4 seconds though

    Trailer wasn't too bad and much better than I expected. But the parts with the high screechy voice kind of ruined it for me. Matt Le Blanc seems like he could be funny without trying to be funny which would be good. :hmmm: But still, the trio will still be better when Amazon are ready. :nods:

    I hate, but also love seeing things like this. Most people think cars are these fragile things but they're really not as long as you don't hit a hard object or leave a nut undone somewhere. But he does have big man plums for using an F40 for that though!

    I bet it ended up with him being 20 foot in the air again. :cheeky:
  24. Camel
    I completely agree! :lol:

    Damn you Paladin Clarence Skylark! :p After my first run through I think I will try survival mode. As long as you don't have to start over from scratch if you die (saw a rumour that this was the case). Looks to be a real challenge.
