Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 144

Definitely Battlefield 1 and probably a bit of Rocket league!

Maybe a bit of CoD's (either) campaign and/or MP - maybe some Zombies in Spaceland too. Still need to reinstall some games I deleted from my PS4 onto my PS4 Pro.

PS4- Street Fighter V and King of Fighters 14
Xbox One- Dead Rising 3
3DS- Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter 4, and Kirby Planet Robobot

Just starting Fallout 4... quite overwhelming at first, lots to absorb/learn

I'll keep playing R&C All 4 One, as well as replaying Red Dead Redemption. I got the urge to play it again after the sequel was announced.

For the first time I start playing Skyrim. I can't feel the epicness that I was expecting, but I am still early in the game, kinda soon to judge it.
Other than that still playing Battlefield 1, wihch is more fun now that I found a solid group

not sure really, i'll probably just mess around on XenoVerse 2 and try to get all the Ultimate Finish's on the PQ's

N++, Ocarina of Time, and Trackmania Turbo.

Taking a much needed break after moving house and just relaxing with Watch Dogs 2. Really enjoying it but there are problems with it. Very much a flawed gem so far.

2nd run of Dishonored 2 as Emily. Corvo went all guns blazing first time. Goin for zero casualties this time. Tricky. Quick save REALLY helps.

Dishonored 2, I lost my patience with the stealthy approach. I'm just gonna kill everything that moves but it's still fun.
Also PES2017 Coop with friends

The Witcher 3

Sinking my gaming teeth back into The Elder Scrolls Online (in glorious 4K on a PS4 Pro). As there are so many great offers on at the moment (5500 Crowns only £14.79 and the game itself a ridiculous £7.99 on PSN store) I'm seeing a lot of new faces in the starter areas and enjoying all the new DLCs.

And l love one-hit-kill stabbing lots of NPCs in the back with my newly acquired Brotherhood Assassination skills

Still playing titanfall 2, and waiting for my ps4 pro to arrive next month..

Watch Dogs 2 & AC: Chronicles China

Dishonoured 2 for me as Emily, I'm trying to not kill anyone but I'm really tempted to use her powers to their full potential. I can see this being on of those games I play over and over as there is so much variety to what you can do.

Bouncing between Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 andbtrying out Steep, which I am enjoing a lot so far. It has that familiar "just one ride more and I stop" taste...

@kyleforrester87 Glad your TV has arrived are you enjoying it, have you tried any PS4 pro games yet in 4k HDR? I'm seriously considering the 65" LG B6 OLED at the moment.

I'll be playing Assassins Creed The Ezio Collection this weekend played a bit last night very nice in 4k. Much better looking than the early videos showed.

Just got the "Platinum" on Scram Kitty DX. Will probably continue playing Rayman Legends, Diva X and finishing the last few puzzles on Picross 3D 2.

Also replaying Fat Princess Adventures with my bro, this time on Hard mode.

Just finished actual sunlight. So I'm going to cheer myself up by play some more Vita games and everybodys tennis.

Dishonoured 2. Pure, patient stealth, Emily learnt from the best.

I spent a whole 25 hours downloading ESO only for me to dislike the combat and the floaty weightless movement. I think FFXIV has spoilt me.

Finally got my PSVR from Game yesterday and absolutely loving it!So it's virtual world all weekend.Woohoo!

@Tasuki To be honest, I have only played it once and that was Solo without reading or watching any hints or tips. My initial feeling though is that its quite good fun. Its not as 'serious' in tone as Treyarchs and I do prefer Treyarchs map design/layout in general - not that I managed to open up everything. The Zombies seem less threatening, less scary but that is befitting of the setting and tone that this is going for. I can see it being a lot of fun with a team of friends and something I would like to invest more time into. I know its only 'Part 1' of the story and how they build on this over the course of the season will determine its success but its a good start. I enjoyed Ghosts' Extinction mode but this has more potential. Extinction had a defined end to each chapter where as this could go on and on - assuming you just play to see what wave you reach.
Whilst I do prefer Treyarchs Zombies, I prefer this to Sledgehammers Zombies!

@kyleforrester87 Hope the TV lives up to expectation. The TV does have an ARC out as well as optical though - seems you may have to go digital there as well . You knew the stand wasn't going to fit beforehand LOL

Been playing Halo 3 ODST and I may start Witcher 3 as I got the GOTY edition for £17.50 on the MS store in the Black Friday sale.

Uncharted 2 for me. Such a classic

Watch Dogs 2

I've been hoping all over the place. I played some Lego the Force Awakens and DBX2, but today was mostly grinding kills for the community event in PvZGW2. Hopefully we'll get to 40 million before 9am Eastern tomorrow since I want that legendary chest. Chipped in almost 1100 kills with the toxic citron. Liked the character so much I paid the 200k coins for him.

@Alan_Breen

Same here

No way I'll get to them all, but here's the lineup. I'll try to get to as many as possible and spread the love around... I've got a lot of games to play this weekend

3DS
Pokémon Sun/Moon

Wii U
Paper Mario Color Splash

Xbox One
Assassins Creed Ezio Collection (AC II)
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare
Dishnonored 2

PS4
[nothing]

PSVR

Uncharted 4 , The Order 1886, the Witcher 3 in glorious 4k. Thanks to the best buy 4k tv bundle deal
I finally can beat these games no more loud old ps4.

Finnishing up Deux Ex Mankind Divided and playing Bravely Second. Can't wait for FF15.....

PS4: Uncharted 3, Parappa the Rapper 2 and Limbo.
PS Vita: God Eater: Resurrection
PSVR: Rigs

The wait for FFXV has been really good to my backlog, just been chewing through games.

Also what an INCREDIBLE job did Bluepoint Games do on the Nathan Drake Collection. I played these games fairly recently in the lead up to UC4 and its like Night and Day. UC1 in particular feels like a new game at 60 FPS.

Titanfall 2. Will try to wrap up the campaign on Master and also go for those two gauntlet trophies, which would get me the platinum. Also as much of TF2 mp as I can squeeze in...trying to get the level up again after regeneration.

Still trying to finish my NG+ run on Bloodborne but today I'll go Ratchet & Clank. I need some colours to breathe again.

Got Skyrim remastered. So going to give it a blast for the first time.

Witcher 3.

@kyleforrester87 Funnily enough, the move to all-digital outputs was one of the things that a lot of reviewers have praised about the 2016 Samsungs. Of course it doesn't suit everyones set up. I can't remember the last time I had or needed analogue sound options. I have an old Samsung Home Theatre system - its so old it only plays DVD's but the Speakers etc all sound great and it doubles up as my Hifi for CD's too.Of course this works perfectly with my TV and consoles as it works with my HDMI ARC channel as well as an optical link.I can use my Turtle Beach wireless headset with the TV - I know you asked about a headphone option.

I guess Samsung think that if you are buying a big modern HDR10 TV, chances are you are going to have a digital sound option - like a Soundbar or even a Dolby Atmos set-up. Most of these probably have a headphone option but its rare that someone watches these with headphones anyway. How do you find the internal speakers? The KS8000 sounds 'great' considering how slim the TV is. I find these more than adequate for the majority of my needs.

For movies etc, my Home Theatre is my external option. Being Samsung, it links with the TV with Anynet and when using ARC has no issues controlling the volume. Maybe worth considering an upgrade to a 'digital' solution. I think some Soundbars allow for analogue extra speakers and you may find that ARC will control the sound - if not the smart controller may work - It works on my Xbox One lol - not tried it on the PS4 though.

I think the PQ (at least with mine) is awesome. The dark blacks benefit SDR content and really help the colours pop. HDR can show some of the limitations of LED's and edge lit in particular but yet to see these rear there ugly head in games - mostly because these are in 16:9 and therefore no black bars. Ratchet and Clank is supposed to benefit a lot from the extra resolution and HDR. I hear that HDR is more subtle than 'in your face' but switching it off is where you really notice how much it added. So far I haven't spent much time jumping from Pro game to Pro game to see how they look but TF2 and both Cod's look great and play well too - these were more a priority as they were 'new'. I need to reinstall Infamous and Last of Us so haven't yet got around to those. Uncharted 4 is another I want to try but having beaten all these, I was more keen to play the games I recently purchased.

Anyway glad you are 'generally' pleased with your new TV and hope it brings you as much joy as mine does.

Mostly Pokemon Sun (terrific so far by the way), but I'll mix in a bit of Overwatch as well! The 2.0 patch is awesome! Even though i just got Battlefield 1 last week, it really is not holding my attention. The single player is phenomenal, but I just can't get into the multiplayer.

@kyleforrester87 I am in the same position with my Home Theatre. It still sounds great and works perfectly well but it is 10years old and only has a DVD and 5.1 surround sound. I would like to replace it with something more up to date (4k HDR Bluray, 7.1 or Atmos) but then I wouldn't throw it out either. It would end up in the bedroom as a Hifi and work with my TV/old consoles in there.

Colour space really depends on the content. I think Native works well with games but it is supposed to be the Wide Colour Gamut option. Auto works well with the standard content but should switch between normal and wide colour depending on the source and the other option is 'standard' colour anyway. Native on SDR movies can over saturate the colours. U keep Auto on for Sky but use Native for both my consoles.

My internal speakers do lack the richness of an external sound option and of course the bass but they are much better than I was anticipating. The 60w 4.1 sound system though is adequate for most of my needs and tend to use the Home Theatre for movies only.
