Anyone else buy the F1 2016 game? I think I've clocked nearly 20 hours in a week, very happy with what they've done with the game this year.

Played a bit of it, and on a wheel it felt dull and unresponsive compared to the two modern Ferrari's on Assetto Corsa. Only played for 45 minutes or so, but will give it another go when I get home and give it a spin on the wheel.

Played both Battlefield 1 and Pro Evo demos this weekend. Think they're both very good, I always say pro evo looks good yet I'll never buy it over fifa, perhaps this year I'll buy both and properly play them.

There isn't a stand alone PC version though, is there? As I understood it you just get it on the PC when you buy the Xbox One version?

Its a PC version, they just do a thing where if you have both you don't have to buy them separate. They confirmed PC will support 4k, can't wait.

The demo is amazing, already feels and looks better than the previous two.

Quite like the demo, the new penalty taking system will take a while to get use to I feel, not so sure I'm keen on that atm, I do like the fact you can position your player for the set piece though, something different.

Also enjoyed the 'small playthrough' of the journey mode.

I played the beta, the demo seems a little more polished and does actually play well. You can actually create some nice moves as players seem to make good runs and passing (especially through balls which were fucked last year) seem to work. They finally found a good balance between pace and strength as well, if you position yourself well and use it wisely your Walcott can now outpace John Terry.. Disagree with the setpieces though, but that's probably cause I don't know how to use it and pens are completely fucked.. Also a bit of pinball at times but seems good so far

Set pieces are going to take time to get used to, especially penalties. Other than that the demo is pretty good, glad that the PC version is a good port at last. Frostbite seems to have helped with that.

Pre ordered the full game.

Rumble Mode on Rocket League is just ridiculously fun.

Sadly it looks like the PS2 versions on PC, they've used an old gen engine for the PC version so it looks like shit compared to the other platforms. Also there's slow loading times, lack of widescreen support and 2016 players say it's just a copy and paste. The lack of effort from Konami is really disappointing.
