Resident Evil 7

Resident Evil 7, mmm are folk interested, lets visit the Reviewers cage and find out

10:23 Christopher Bilsborough Sick of Resident Evil ever since I didn’t like the first one.
10:24 Tony Evans Looks a lot better than 6, actually looks like a Resident Evil game
10:24 Christopher Bilsborough Enjoyable movies, though.
10:24 Chris Broderick Going off the Beginning Hour demo in its fully updated form, it’s brilliant.
10:27 Tom O’Toole I’m not a big fan of horror games full stop. Always disagree with the character choices. A dark corridor looms ahead, a shriek and scurry of legs can be heard “let’s check it out!”

No, lets just go home.

or at least go get some guns first
10:30 Chris Broderick You sure your not just watching 80s slasher flicks there Tom?
10:30 Tom O’Toole same thing right? lol
10:32 Tony Evans I love the horror game genre. The original Resident Evils and Silent Hill games where fantastic to play through, that’s why I’m looking forward to this one as it looks and feels more like the old games. Still gutted PT was cancelled but this should make up for it abit.
10:32 Tom O’Toole like the start of evil within. Blood, death, big guy with chainsaw. That’s 10 mins into him arriving. Thats a ‘fuck that’ situation. I did enjoy the original few resi evils. silent hill never held my attention
10:33 Chris Broderick I’ve not played a really good survival horror since Dead Space 1 and 2 really. Most at least give you a reason for continuing down the scary scary corridors such as your trapped if not. At least your usually reasonably armed in them too.
10:34 Kenny Haslam Well after playing it on vr I now know I’m a little fairy who is scared of monsters and the dark all in all though I was very impressed and like that it’s taking a different turn. I just hope it’s a lengthy game and not shortened for VR purposes.
10:34 Chris Broderick Where the hell do you want him to go in Evil Within lol. You do spend the first level trying to escape.
10:35 Kenny Haslam I do think they have seen PT and thought ‘yeah where having a bit of that!!!’
10:35 Chris Broderick It’d be a kick in the dick for Xbox One owners especially if it’s shortened for VR lol.
10:36 Tom O’Toole i did like those too, my order is reversed to most though. i like 3 the most as its more run and gun than the others.
10:36 Chris Broderick Gotta consider how long Dev time has been to when the PT demo came out really.
10:37 Kenny Haslam I wonder how it’s going to link into the other resys I can’t see it being just a standalone thing and it better not be a computer simulation!!!!!!

Or a VR simulation…………
10:38 Tony Evans Never bothered with Dead Space after the first really enjoyed the game but for some reason just didn’t play the sequels. I loved Evil Within, just the right amount of gore and horror for me in that game. PT could’ve easily been the best horror game we have had if it wasn’t for the backstage explosion that happened with Konami. This new Resident Evil really does look like it’s tried to emulate some of that in there though. I imagine the mansion in this one will have some connection to the first mansion somehow.
10:38 Tom O’Toole of they just shout “cut” at the end
10:39 Tony Evans Did any of you guys play Alien Isolation or Until Dawn? Probably the best two horror games for me since the early Resi games.
10:39 Chris Broderick They have said it will reference the wider franchise. It takes part within the general storyline just that it’s concentrating on a story away from the main goings on.
10:39 Kenny Haslam I heard data miners found reference to a weaker boss fight!!!!! I bloody hope not
10:40 Christopher Bilsborough Played Isolation until a light bulb exploded, and I put it down. First open area.
10:40 Kenny Haslam I played until dawn was holding off on alien to try play it on vr but looking like it won’t be released on PS4 that way. Until dawn was great though
10:40 Chris Broderick Yeah Until Dawn was fantastic.
10:40

Kenny Haslam

Anyone ever played carrier on dreamcast?
10:41 Chris Broderick Tony you should play Dead Space 2. Best one.

Yeah it was shit lol. Blue Stinger was the bomb :-p
10:43 Tony Evans Isolation was brilliant. Really suspenseful game. You’re incredibly under powered and have to literally sneak everywhere. The most tense game I’ve played, the Xenomorph hunting you is terrifying to see on screen. Best Alien since Aliens I keep meaning to go back to Dead Space as have 2 and 3 on disc somewhere around, one day when the backlog is smaller….
10:43 Kenny Haslam Oh no….chris blue stinger was awful. Carrier has the best voice acting of all time!! If you’ve never played it search for ‘carrier dreamcast camp man’ on YouTube it’s hilarious!!!
10:44 Chris Broderick Before I read to the end of that comment I was taking the best voice acting bit with a huge ass load of salt lol.

I’m off to YouTube.
10:45 Christopher Bilsborough I read that Isolation used the kinect so you could move your head to peep around things in-game. Also that noise picked up on the mic would attract the xenomorph… Fuck that right there!
10:47 Tony Evans Seriously mate play it. It’s literally like being in the films, it’s unreal how nervous you get playing it. Incredibly underrated game, it’s easily in my top 3 horror games ever. You have to use your directional mic at certain bits in the game but like you said it attracts the xenomorphs and androids to you if you use it too long. It’s amazing.
10:48 Tony Evans I played it on PS3 originally and went back and replayed it on PS4 a few months back and even second time round it was still as nerve wracking.
10:51 Christopher Bilsborough Can’t deal with it. At some point, I pussied out with horror games. Films I enjoy, but put within that situation with no means of attack, no means of turning the tables, and I can’t take it. One death, and I uninstall and move on. With Isolation, I just KNEW I’d die no matter what I did, and couldn’t handle it. Fear-quit is my rage-quit.

Reviewers Corner – Ark: Survival Evolved

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 12:20:38 +0000

Show Me Games Presents-

After dropping a little review of No Mans Sky(read that here), Philip let’s us know his next adventure

09:44 Philip Desforges First review so criticism welcome lol Also bought ark survival evolved on PS4 this morning so can review that…even though I have over 200 hours on PC lol
09:50 Christopher Bilsborough Played the beta, its great. You can murder and then cannibalise other players, and then collect your poo as a trophy. There’s probably more to it, but I only had an hour…
09:50 Chris Broderick SOLD!!!!
09:55 Philip Desforges Murder is off at the minute I think but it doesn’t stop you dragging their asleep bodies into the water and watching them drown then looting them. Unless pvp obviously
09:56 Christopher Bilsborough Aw, it was great emoting to other noobs, thrn whilst thry were navigating the ridiculous menu sustem, smashing their heads in with a rock. I have turned predictive text off, btw…
09:58 Chris Broderick I’ll look forward to a review. Never played a game like that but the chance to ride dinosaurs and collect poop is nearly too much.
09:59 Philip Desforges
10:00 Chris Broderick So much poop awaiting collection.
10:00 Christopher Bilsborough I was eager at first, but felt you’d likely need to party up regularly to stand a chance, and even plan your defences outside the game.
10:01 Aaron Hughes can you do anything with the poop?
10:01 Philip Desforges We tamed dinosaurs as they are pooping machines, poop turns to fertiliser for spitty plants

Plants defend your base
10:01 Chris Broderick Can it be weaponised.
10:01 Christopher Bilsborough eat it… make piles of it… limitless choices
10:02 Aaron Hughes how long does it take to domesticate a dinosaur enough for it to poop for your pleasure?
10:02 Christopher Bilsborough all about how long it takes you to be tough enough to twat one into submission
10:03 Chris Broderick Wanna those big bum biscuits to drop on another players head.
10:03 Philip Desforges Them shitting machines about 20 minutes to tame, a T. rex about 8 hours…Maybe more
10:04 Christopher Bilsborough “Show Me Games Turd Factory”…
10:06 Aaron Hughes Mmmmmm chocolatey
10:06 Chris Broderick I’m off to the shop for pies and chocolate.

Reviewers Corner – FFXV

Fri, 02 Dec 2016 15:00:17 +0000

Show Me Games Presents-

Reviewers Corner

FFXV

Welcome to Reviewers Corner, hopefully a semi-regular little blog, where I’ll post the private chat between our reviewers talking about a specific game.

During such exchanges, you may learn some interesting things about our gaggle of degenerates.

11:45 Lee Smith Anyone doing a devil may fantasy 15 review as im playing that at mo too

11:45 Chris Broderick A what?

11:46 Lee Smith Devil may fantasy (final fantasy xv)

11:46 Tony Evans Devil may Fantasy take it your not a fan of the new fighting mechanics haha

11:47 Lee Smith Haha how can you tell?

11:48 Tony Evans It’s a strange new mechanic and very un-final Fantasy but you get used to it and makes the games seem a bit fresh after the abysmal XIII series! Haha

11:50 Lee Smith Yeah its ok in its own right i suppose. But i feel death should be brought upon anything after 10. Turn based are no base…for a game. I never thought id look back at ten with sadness

11:50 Tom O’Toole I felt more Metal Gear Fantasy

11:50 Lee Smith Ghouls and ghosts xv Fantasy (fans) may cry.

11:51 Tony Evans I think 9 is the last great game by them, I’m enjoying XV but it’s too soon to tell overall but I think the main problem with X onwards is the awful voice acting, it’s what’s almost killed that series for me haha

11:53 Lee Smith Yeah it wasnt great compared to the early ones. But still way better than x2 xiii and this. Im liki g it in a strange way but not sure if its fanboyism. Feels forced

11:57 Tony Evans See I’m enjoying the new one so far myself which is the first properly since IX as I really didn’t get the hype with X as Tidus’ voice really put me off the game in a big way as it was awful dialogue and delivery. I’m hoping it’s not just an nostalgic feeling that’s making me enjoy it but won’t know really until I’ve finished it myself how it stacks up with the rest overall, I just think they’ll never reach the high of VI, VII, VIII and IX ever again though as that stretch of games are near perfect

12:03 Aaron Hughes As a on looker with my all powerful Gamer Eye (TM), I think the game looks like a desperate attempt to draw weebs in, and show how they can still design 90’s video game emos. (editorial note, JRPGs on the whole make me want to pull everyones eyes out. So not really my genre 🙂 )

12:10 Philip Desforges 10 was amazing, 6-10 for me are amazing, haven’t played the origins yet tho. 13 onwards meh, Xv has started really well, new mechanics etc feel good not standard ff turn based but still good, open world and lots of side missions

Late addition

12:16 Kenny Haslam I like final fantasy

Later addition by

12:22 Jonathan Preston It sucks a bag o dicks. Am I too late?
