Welcome to OFR Season 8!!

COD Infinite Warfare and COD4 Remastered

Call of Duty franchise may be showing signs of fatigue

What do we think of it? The Remaster is the real deal, the campaign for Infinite Warfare so far is cool, my kid beat it and said it was fun, decent job.

Watch Dogs 2 is out!! (Is anyone here picking it up?)

Graphics look awesome, set in San Francisco (real names not like GTA’s San Fierro in San Andreas)

Open world like GTA, but you can hack almost anything with your cell phone.

I’d say the release was bad timing, but in the stuff I’ve seen there is an election manipulation story tie-in that players might find timely.

PS4 PRO is out

To get your money’s worth, check these settings. (And prepare for some inconsistency)

I”m playing a PS4 PRO But I Can't Really Tell The Difference

A skeptic’s review: Can you tell the difference? Can you, a human being, simply switching from one console to the other, really tell the difference between the two, and if so, is it worth picking up the system if you own a 4K HDR TV?

In depth, detailed analysis: Eurogamer  Sony PlayStation 4 Pro review

Open Forum Radio - Episode 324

OFR Season 7 (Episode 57) - OFR War Stories

Battlefield 1

Quite possibly the BEST war shooter ever!

Vladz: Incredible engaging non-linear presentation. Beautiful sound, unique approach, still holds fast to the demo flying thing but I didn’t mind that much, it helped with the dog-fights. One of, if not the BEST intros ever! The ONLY thing disappointing that I’ve found is that I wanted more. 6 war stories - Prologue +5 more, and I just want more and more. Hopefully they’ll hear that from their customer/fanbase and maybe more will be available with the season pass which is a must own now.

Derek: nothing but multiplayer lol so far love the maps guns and sound hate the gas grenades lol

TMO: Don’t have it damnit! : (  

Jay: The intro was incredible, the graphics and sound are second to none. Wow, is it just me or does this game feel like it has a soul...not just some shiny bull.

Battlefield 1 is excellent because the series has stopped trying to be Call of Duty
