I've been invited to the close beta this weekend and have 3 invites for Xbox One. If anyone is interested in checking it out, DM me and I'll let you know what details I need.

So anyone get to try this at the weekend? I played a little, not enough for my liking, but enough to get a flavour. It would be great to hear peoples thoughts

I gave up before I finished the mission, It felt like a half-arsed version of the Division. Poor gun mechanics, poor driving and pretty disappointing graphics.

Yep. it definitely had huge nods towards The Division, but in a larger more open world. I preferred the gunplay from Wildlands. For me it was a blessing that the enemies didn't just soak up gunfire. 

 

Driving was genuinely poor and the graphics whilst not terrible had this awful shine/gloss to it.

 

I only managed to play through two missions but both were find guy to interrogate and then escape. Thankfully there was some changes/variances with the setting which helped.

 

Both The Division and Wildlands are games that were meant to be played with co-op as opposed to NPCs, but I feel that with The Division there was a little more solo play. The rest of the NPC team felt pretty useless.

 

Oh and flying a helicopter was painful!

Wonder how much this will differ. I was hoping for something more polished during the closed beta, but was disappointed. Let's hope it's a little better the second time around.

Out of curiosity, did you play alone or with friends? 

 

I was solo and got bored very quickly but I am much more of a social player and I'm hoping that's all I was missing from this first time around.

I didn't have much time, so only played solo. I can imagine this being a great game with four mates/real players with coordinated attacks on bases etc. 

 

I saw your comment earlier re. the gameplay and graphics, I'm hoping that'll be a little more polished.

I wasn't fond of the closed beta - again, playing solo.... then I did some co-op with randoms... who were terrible and kept failing the mission because they would run in CoD-Style. 

 

Hoping it will be a bit better in the open beta....

I'm planning on trying this after I get my new build set up.  I have plenty to play though, so we'll see when. :)

I won't take you long to beat it. Took me and a friend about a week or 2 after it released. Even got the platinum for it.  I seen game play of Narco road and not even gonna bother with it, for the fact we can't use our own characters for it and are forced to make a new character again.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
