  1. Is red 5 from a Star Wars film where they take down the death star?
  2. "Whoops, how did that get in here" :o :lol:
  3. He deleted his own post and account, likely due to hate PMs.
  4. It seems that every day there is a new article, video, or reddit thread adding more and more things that Sean Murray promised but (as yet has) filed to deliver in the initial August 2016 release No Man's Sky on PC and PS4. Have plans changed drastically at the last minute, or has Sean been outright lying the whole time during his interviews? Can you land on an asteroid? Can you fly into a star? Can you fly between solar systems without warping? Do the the planets rotate and orbit stars? Can you find other human players and play together? Are the possibilities endless? These are some of the things Sean has said definite yes' to, but players have been discovering otherwise. The planets do not move. The stars do not exist. What we have is just a basic skybox no different to the starry sky you'd see in Project CARS or The Crew at night. Warping between systems is basically a loading screen. Players who have decrypted/unpacked the PC files have even found a special 'E3 planet' that Sean said didn't exist, and was completely random and procedurally generated. Two players stood on the exact same spot of a planet, both streaming the same vista, but ultimately did not determine each others' appearance. A network technician later used a packet monitoring tool (such as Ethereal) and conclusively stated that No Man's Sky was not transmitting any location to the Internet, therefore making multiplayer all but non-existent. (Why HG would add a last-minute scan feature to increase the chance of players 'not finding' each other and thus exposing this seems a rather odd decision). Now, we know that Hello Games do plan to continue working on this title, and that Sean said they would be free (so they probably won't be), so perhaps something like multiplayer was intended to come later long before anyone got close to potentially meeting up. Perhaps HG and Sony couldn't come to an agreement over PS+ requirements, so an existing feature was scrapped and NDA'd. We've seen preorder boxes ship with stickers covering 'network' feature icons. If you've missed the news, the video compilation below sums up a lot of it. If you want a more in-depth list of broken promises, well that's currently available here. So does this mean the game is bad? No. If you've not looked into every interview Sean has ever done (or read the first part of this post, sorry about that...) then what you don't know probably won't hurt you. In fact, the less you know, the better it is, because game is much simpler under the hood than the experience and feeling it attempts to deliver. An old proverb says 'Expectation postponed makes the heart sick'. Even after release, the hope, the expectation of the potential of this game still seems to be causing massive heartaches and divisions in the NMS community. Some love it. Some feel more compelled to 'complete' it despite it 'not being fun'. Others have been more badly butthurt. When you take a moment a think about it, it's hard to expect a team as small as HG to deliver so much. But that doesn't excuse the scale and arrogance of mistruths that have been spread as recently as two months ago. I will continue playing sparingly in the hopes that future software updates will address some of these features, so if you like, add me on Steam and we, erm, won't play together.
  5. Only problem is compatibility with Windows 10 otherwise I'd be there with you. Some sort of VR (Oculus/Vive) mod/hack would be pretty awesome for TDU1 too but that's probably difficult if no-one on the team has one to test with.
  6. Hi 777 These contests usually have an entry theme. This one is 'Italian Cars/Bikes'. Not sure you can spin that to work with a Shelby Mustang. :)
  7. [media=twitter]766585246267609088[/twitter][/media]
  8. Those things were frustrating (but expected playing with Europe) but it added to the challenge which was fun. Driving behind someone for 7 seconds to bust them is the total opposite. I don't recall having the same issues on those other occasions where I took photos but not recordings.
  9. Even with lag and completely different weight and handling systems I still reckon that was more fun than what I can see this expansion pack producing. But, we did ask for expansion packs back in the day and they are delivering on that. Other TDU police chase endings Memo, if you ever need a getaway driver do no ask Destroyer-GT :) Calling All Units in my mind only needed to add the police sirens and liveries and a more fair mechanism for determining when someone was caught. i.e. you've got to crash into them and stop them.
  10. I dunno, smells awfully like a pun. You've got the extra 'e' and everything :susp:
  11. I don't think I've ever seen a MT Lexus... :think: You sure that guy who said "why do they care about a Rover?" wasn't someone from here? :rofl:
  12. It seems there will be some livestream about this (12:30 PM unspecified timezone or day) on twitch/TheCrewGame [media=twitter]765855539012173830[/media]
  13. You wanted to join forces with Police in The Crew, but you couldn't. Now* you can. Let's hope it reviews better than did. At least it'll have a better map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfRlXedAfEE *November 29 Calling all units! A new trailer has been sighted! | | News | The Crew
  14. yeah pretty good for front wheel drive *ba dum tish*
  15. It's more compelling than 'fun', if you want to find out what happens at the 'end' of the 'story'. It's a bit like combining an old text-based Choose Your Own Adventure book/DOS game with a 2D space trading/combat game but in 3D. No harm in waiting if you can avoid spoilers. [headline]System 1[/headline] [headline]Planet 1[/headline] (renamed to Homethree because I restarted the game twice to adjust graphics settings and each time it took me to a new planet/system) Sentinels in the open and following me into caves. Predators in caves that followed me out of them. It made mining and repairing a ship a lengthy and challenging process compared to some others. [headline]Planet 2 & 3[/headline] Not that interesting [headline]Planet 4[/headline] Gold! Also water... and underwater ruins
  16. erm...
  17. Wouldn't be the first time MS has pulled an update after it not being received well.
  18. I was a little too slow to reach out in front of the driver and take this photo of a sunset, which just a few moments ago was making the entire sky bright yellow, as if I were in NMS:
  19. It's all 'set and forget' once up and running. Of course if I ever had to set it up it again I'm sure the 'forget' part would make things difficult. :umm: If PS4 could output to HDMI and Optical at the same time I wouldn't have to do all this but I still recommend Voicemeeter in general for anyone wanting to take PC gameplay recording to the next level. It's also good to know what it can do now in case it's the solution to a future problem. I've been using Voicemeeter for over a year now and have wanted to write something up and record a video about it months ago. If you just want the virtual audio cables without the mixer app: VB-Audio Virtual Apps
  20. I'm avoiding the update due to news of it causing some big issues with the Xbox 1 controller drivers and some other game-related issues
