Welcome to the OFR Christmas Party! 

Since this is our last show before Christmas and we skipped the common ‘Game of the Year’ segments (This still isn’t ours, LOL)

What game would you put under the tree for someone this year? Forza h 3, Not a ‘new game’ but GTA V for Bluemanrule because despite that he says it isn’t for him…. I think he’d love this game. NES Classic Ed. (If you can find Nintendo) Rise of the Tomb Raider

What game would you return? Gears 4, Gears 4, Street Fighter 5 tmo meant to say gears 4 lmao Quantum Break

What was the surprise present in gaming this year?  Battlefield 1, TitanFall 2, COD:IW & Doom Battlefield 1 & Mad Max

What was the surprise present in TV / Movies this year? Westworld / stranger things, DANG!! Same for me Westworld and Stranger Things, also that the Walking Dead wasn’t better the first half of this year. Westworld (Thought it be good but damn) Westworld/SW:TFA

 

Can you hear me now? Xbox / Windows 10 Microsoft today officially announced that bitstream audio pass-through, including Dolby Atmos, will be available on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs next year.

But will any of the general gaming public hear the difference? it works with virtually any pair of headphones, Microsoft said.

 

Dolby Atmos supported speakers that I’ve seen are still WAY expensive and I’m not sure how many of us will be upgrading to a surround sound system that supports it.

Sony is making their own take on 3D sound accessible Sony announces 3D audio-enabled PS4 headset for $160

 

Switch news: Slower undocked probably means under performing games for consistency --- Nintendo Switch CPU and GPU clock speeds revealed

 

RUN MARIO RUN!! Nintendo Not Planning Super Mario Run DLC as Company's Stock Price Continues to Dro
