The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

[Nando]

Has anybody upgraded from a PS4 to a Pro? I can potentially upgrade for a net cost of about £100 with a FIFA 19 bundle, but am wondering whether its ultimately worth it? I've bought a 4k TV since picking up the PS4, otherwise I'd have bought the Pro in any case.

Nando - if you can get it upgraded for that, I'd go for it. The difference is quite something on a nice, shiny TV. How come you can get it so cheap? I'd love to upgrade my XB1 to an XB1X.

As for FIFA 19 - the tweaks for this year's version sound good and it's getting decent reviews. I'll be buying it anyway as I've always wanted Molineux to feature.

But - typically - another change is that the fonts/sleeve logs update in career mode when clubs get promoted to the PL. Way to go, EA - change them when it doesn't bloody concern us anymore!! That's always really annoyed me.

No rules and survival mode sound like fun when playing with friends, but can see the appeal wearing off pretty quickly otherwise.

Well I'll be buying FIFA in any case, which is £50 nowadays. I'm out of storage space too, so I need to buy an external drive, where as the Pro has 1tb. Those combined are going to cost the best part of £100.

I can get £135 p/x as credit from Game, and the bundle is £349, so it's a circa £115 expenditure to upgrade to the Pro, which is pretty much the cost difference between consoles when I purchased last year, so I'm not really losing out.

Where's that deal Nando?

I bought a pro and a 4K tv in the last year and I would say it’s worth it, any game that supports HDR looks bloody amazing - Spider-Man in particular is gorgeous and the F1 game gets a nice boost as well.

£90. I got my sister a PS1 with about 20 games for Christmas a couple of years ago, and it cost me about a tenner on eBay. I know this is a "miniature" version of the original system with built in games, but I think £90 is steep.

Also, when you past the nostalgia of playing some of the games you grew up with, the sad reality is they're actually pretty shite. I got my sister Cool Boarders and Micro Machines - two games we played loads as kids. But when we popped them in and loaded them up, they were both absolutely dreadful :icon_lol:

Micro Machines what a game! I’ve put Henkaku on my vita so will be adding that on to it tonight with Rugrats and Gran Turismo 2

Rugrats is the only game I've ever completed

I bet the new God of War looks ridiculous in 4k.

Dean Saunders is clearly the manager of my team on FIFA.

Probably bigs up the keeper after a 3-0 defeat saying "you didn't have a shot to save".

I'd just won 3-2 by scoring a hat-trick, the winner in the last minute. I had 4 shots, 4 on target, 3 goals. This was the League Cup Final too.

Lovely job. Decision made.

FIFA 19 nearly installed, bonus. Pre-loading Battlefield V as well, hope it's better than Battlefield 1, that was shit.

Get out of here! BF1 is an outstanding game.
