Mass Effect Andromeda
Nier Automata (coming to the PC, YES!)
Resident Evil 7

Some others I've possibly forgotten :)

Interested in the Switch but not sure if I see how it has the capability to recover for Nintendo after the Wii U.

I'm looking forward to the Crash reboot, Destiny 2 and Nintendo switch the most. If the Switch rumours about the price and reported games are true, it will be a great console!

How much is the switch going to go for? I saw the trailer for it and definitely want one!

I'm hoping its £250 but £300 is probably more realistic, it isn't pushing anything from a graphical perspective so anything more then that would be suicide.

Reliable sources suggest $250. We will know more at the end of this month as Nintendo are holding an event on the 13th (of January) announcing information on it. Widely reported it's coming out in late March too!

Wipeout Omega Collection, a long overdue return for Anti-Grav racing to console. Also interested in Formula Fusion if it gets a timely console release.

Also Danganronpa is getting a PS4 release, I've not tried a visual novel game before.

And another vote for Persona 5.

Nice little review of the 3DO here

This guy is hilarious by the way, well worth watching his reviews of the old games and consoles. He rips the piss out of them.

A PC that comes with its own chair. How big is it? :lol: Is it like the old Space Harrier arcade cab?

I'm too far behind what is good or not these days as it is a far too expensive hobby. My girlfriend got Planet Coaster for Christmas and I was concerned her 3 year old PC with my 4 year old graphics card wouldn't cope with the ferocious looking minimum specs but it plays perfectly. It seems like low/medium settings to high settings is about £1000 difference. And a game you are forever chasing.

Pretty good twiggles. But if it were me I would change a few things. Firstly 4gb of system RAM is way too low for modern gaming, I'd say get 8gb minimum or 16gb to be safe. Also, your PSU is on the low side. If you decide to upgrade your graphics card in the future 350 watts simply isn't enough. If it were me, I'd be looking at double the wattage for a gaming PC. I'd rather have the wattage there and not need it than not have the wattage and need it. You can always ask the company what their advice would be.
Hope this helps and good luck!
 


Having finally made the jump to a next-gen console just after Christmas, I'm slowly working my way through a load of games I've been wanting to play for a while.

Finished Uncharted 4, currently focused on AC Syndicate, and have yet to dive into Arkham Knight and Fallout 4, so those should keep me occupied for a while!

Looking forward to the Crash Bandicoot remaster, along with South Park: The Fractured But Whole, RDR2 and the God of War reboot.

Agree with this, I would get 8gb at least but and the best psu you can afford just in case you want to upgrade your videocard etc later down the road

Fallout 4 took me over a year to finish (with all the DLCs) ! Arkham Knight is equally amazing.

Just embarked on Uncharted 4, love it so far.

Gotta say the hype has died down for my PSVR, there's just no games for it. Hoping Ressie Evil rejuvenates my passion for it otherwise it's getting flogged and replaced with a Switch in March

Nice! Agree with what has already been said. 8GB of RAM will be fine for pretty much any game, I've never had any issues. and I personally went for a 650 power supply on my latest build.
If you need any other advice feel free to private message me as building PC's is what i do for a living! I can normally do a build like that for around £700 if that's any interest to you. (Although not sure how much a gaming chair is!)
