MW2 by name and MW3 by branding. Very much doubt it'll be able to live up to those classics and I'm really not sure on the name conflict with the iconic original. A reveal must be pretty imminent but my interest is fairly minimal. I don't have much confidence left in the franchise and Microsoft's near-acquisition of the company had no bearings on development or likely anything post-launch so this is still very much a COD title of recent. That being said, IW are probably the strongest part left of the series but they are still a shadow of their former selves and unless the cheating epidemic is addressed, it could be tarnished before it's even got started.

One of the greatest games of all time!

Here it is guys, sorry my camera is terrible but I wrote a note for FG hehe 😄 I put Play magazines forward since they're from the UK, I thought it might be good to have some representation ❤️ The one on the left is the OLDEST magazine I have here and it's for the NES haha. I can't believe they're all still alive.

Yay, another CoD. I can barely contain my excitement.

Who the fuck was in the meeting when they said get me a barge, a drone, a fuck off big poster and on Twitter we’ll type “Ships October” The shit people get paid for

Violation from Specsavers

I was watching the weekly Friday show on gameranx and during the show, they mentioned and showed some early concept art for a new RPg being developed by Techland. They are currently working on content for Dying Light 2, but are shifting focus to this new project. A lot of people that worked on Witcher 3, Horizon and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Should be a long way out but something to keep an eye out for.

It's available on Switch now as part of the N64 collection, very tempted to go back to it. As you say, one of the greatest games ever!

Doesn't need much of an introduction but.. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Was leaked a few hours ago and although I take things with a pinch of salt, alleged images from the new Silent Hill were copyright struck by Konami themselves which suggests it's real.

FIFA 23 will be EA's last branded game because they want to retain the greed all for themselves an instead we have EA Sports FC and this very well could become a F2P ongoing live service. After Konami's spectacular total fuck up I'm not too keen on that model however it wont be anywhere near as ass as what they churned out. Wonder if there will be any takers for the FIFA brand now...

Well, after some shitty internet issues and a few bits of mis-communication, I finally have a full Vow completion. Thanks @GazzaGarratt@Teenwolf25 @Leeesh13 @Bluebear and @SWAINEY84 for the run today. Apologizes for my anger near the end there. My home internet issues have put me on a path to world domination... Or, the fridge for some food. Congrats for getting the raid exotic @GazzaGarrattNow, where's all my FG Achievements for that???????? 😘

Happy birthday Sarah!! @Rumelylady I bloody hope Batman has delivered some nice presents this morning!! Have a great one! 🎂❤️😎💃

introducing leeesh13s hitchhikers guide to the lands between (yes is started with radahn because he's awesome) is a spoiler if u want to not see it😊

While I should be excited about this, as mw2 was my favorite cod ever and I spent months of game time playing it, I can’t help but think it’s gonna be another game that I play for a few weeks and then never touch again. I hope it re captures the cod magic for me but I won’t keep my hopes up. I’m sure I’ll still get it unless it looks like a dumpster fire. I have zero interest in BR games so hopefully it has a good MP selection and some re hashes of my favorites from back then.

I had a proper laugh last night, thanks guys for the great assists! I rarely score so was nice to get on the sheet with some belters! GGFG! Let's drive onwards and upwards!

Glad I could help lads 😘

No changes in trophies as this Super Sunday and Monday Night Football ended in maintaining our Division 3 status after we lost Division 2 on Monday last week pretty swiftly. We started the night on a completely different formation, with Jordie suggesting the 3-5-2, so attacking wing backs, with more forwards to plough ahead. For at least 3 games, this really worked well, scoring quite a few goals and being camped in their area. Once we had to shuffle the pack so we all got chance to play in different positions it was then we started to struggle. Just goes to show how hard defence is really. I also had a shocker at LCB, I think its pushed me into at least trying a bigger build next time out if I have to cover a centre-back position. Mulletov @G_dub52 was having a cracker of a night with his bangers up top and some of his killer passes were coming off this week. Slide Tickler @Ajay also had a solid start with a goal and a few assists, and for the most part in defence, managed to get stuck in and block far more goals to stop us losing by even more. Near the end of the night we stopped the rot as we switched back to 4-3-3 we a re more accustomed to. As soon as ConnorChameleon @JamaicanSteve tocuhed the ball up top, goals followed - with him finishing with the solotairy hattrick of the night. We left the night where we started - a few wins needed in the last 4 games to maintain our Division 3 status.

Didn't help the nerves when Kane felt a bit ill a few days ago — I was sure it was going to be food poisoning 😂 Great last few games though, I really thought for a second Liverpool were going to clinch it, but in typical Man City fashion they came back and thrashed them. Congratulations for Son and Salah being top goal scorers. Son doing so without a single pen which I though was impressive, but of course impressive for both. And Ronaldo coming 3rd which @tronic44 pointed out in the WhatsApp is an amazing achievement with Man United.

Insane day of football and although it finished as expected, the way it played out was pretty insane. Gerrard blows it again for LIverpool, this time as a manager🤣 Relieved Spurs got 4th and all those nerves this week were pretty much not warranted in the end - I was dreading a 1-0 defeat for some reason. Leeds probably did deserve to stay up despite a woeful season because the FA made them play many games with covid absences yet Arsenal had one case and they got the Spurs game postponed - something they really regretted as they had a weaker team available come the rearranged fixture!

Yea, I just can't warrant giving nintendo more money for old games when emulators are free for the most part. 😉

Hoping Spurs kept lasagne off the menu last night 👍

They have a city demo for this on their engine, anyone can download it for free and run around with a meta human. It’s honestly incredible how far it’s come since 4.27. Theres also a car physics level where you can drive cars into things, the collision is incredible.

I came across this today. Shame sony didn't try to acquire these studios or the IP seeing as it was such a big reason for the PSOnes success. Square Enix Sells Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, And More, Including Tomb Raider IP, To Embracer Group WWW.GAMEINFORMER.COM Square Enix says it will use the $300 million from the transaction to move forward with investments in blockchain technology, AI, cloud gaming, and more.

Both are true actually @Greboth. CoD will always have a big pool of players, so it would be nice for them to experiment with: Casual Core - CBMM Casual Hardcore - CBMM Competitive Core - SBMM Competitive Hardcore - SBMM On a game that still gets bought by the millions, splitting the pools like would get the desired effect. I don't want to be stomped all the time and would rather see how well I can do, but I also understand when we just wanna have a laugh and kick back in some random casual modes where games can be all over the place. Overwatch has it, Rainbow 6 has it, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same here. P.S. Obviously SBMM in those modes above could have some element of connnection based checks so you aren't playing a random thats on a ridiculously opposite ping to everyone else perhaps.

Quoted for the truth. SBMM has it's place but it shouldn't be the defacto matchmaking. SBMM was introduced as a way to increase enjoyment and stop noobs getting stomped but all it seems to have done is make sweatier lobbies. Sure in the (original) MW and MW2 days you'd get stomped occasionally but equally you would occasionally stomp too so it all evened out.

Absolutely ecstatic Arsenal got beaten — looking likely Spurs will get Champions League football which could mean Conte and Kane staying!

So since there doesn't seem to be a new Batman game coming anytime soon i've been looking forward to Gotham Knights for a little while now, and from the look of the gameplay trailer it maintains the atmosphere and mechanics that I enjoyed so much in the Arkham games, and the fact that Red Hood, one of my favourite DC characters, is in the game helps massively lol. Although I am very surprised that they are only releasing it on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and have scrapped the PS4/XB1 versions, especially since there is the multiplayer element. But i guess thats going to be the way now for a lot of the new games going forward. Anyone else looking forward to this?

Yeah, one of the long term benefits of owning a PC was that over it's lifetime, while the initial expense was higher than buying a console, the cheaper availability of games made it affordable. I don't know about that any more. When I get my Steam Deck I will consider how I go about future PC upgrades, if I even continue. Will see...

Here we go Nvidia's RTX 40 series is set to launch as soon as July | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Will Jensen's well-appointed kitchen be the location? Meanwhile most people are still struggling to get a 30 series card. EZ money for Nvidia too and they wont give a toss who's hands their cards end up in as long as they get a fat payday.

Beep boop beep boop

who is your daddy and what does he do?

I surprised her with some flowers, bubble tea and a bubble waffle, followed by a chocolate fudge cake and our friend Adrian bought dinner for us.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. I do hope it's good, but have a feeling it may not be all it's cracked up to be. Hopefully, I'm proven wrong.

It does actually look pretty good. I agree with James, those older batman games have such a murky and dark atmosphere. Totally perfect for Gotham and the style it's trying to portray. Time will tell if it's a good attempt or a forgotten failure. The video makes it look decent tho.

I hope this is as good as my heart wants it to be.

Thanks everyone! Getting some new ink after work today, so hoping it's a speedy day.

Hard disagree. Having somebody sound whore you from 100 metres because you sound like an elephant just isn't a fun experience. The lack of Dead Silence/Ninja is what I hated most about MW2019.

I have to agree it will definitely be a different experience to the previous Arkham games (and i'm sure i have heard rumour of a new entry into the Arkham line of games 🤔) but this will satiate my need for a good superhero game until then - I may need to replay Arkham City or Knight lol

I've been craving a new game like this as I'm a huge fan of the Arkham games - they just ooze atmosphere and capture the Batman style perfectly. This one I am a bit iffy about because the developer has a pretty limited track record and wasn't the one behind the original Batman titles. This team did work on Origins and also did a Wii port for Arkham City but aside from that it's been mostly DLC and assisting other developers. They may be biting off more than they can chew with this and the publisher also doesn't have a good grasp of the gaming industry either. Will definitely keep my eye on it but anyone expecting something to the tune of Rocksteady's classics may be sorely disappointed.

On May 3rd 2022, two months after release, there was ONE person on planet earth playing Babylon's Fall on PC. ONE.FUCKING.PERSON LMAO!

In fact it was, had a nice 🥩.

Happy birthday @RenFenggeMUAH!

Resurrecting our dear ol' megathread! We've had some top nights on Warzone of late. Definitely enjoying when we jump in to quickly call out a target of kills and number of contracts to complete in a game. @J-Lurch , @Macca89 , @LordBaguette and myself have done a few games and had some great top 10 finishes. Some lovely team wipes too. Tom and my gamertags didn't show on this post match report but it was a top game nonetheless. Shame it ended with me being taken out cleanly by a sniper after Macca did the hard work in getting us back in the game for the small circle showdown 🤣 I'll get the clip added shortly! Another 10+ kills as a team with James and Macca. We ended up 3rd in this game. And finally, what a game this was. Managed to get Cal 'Bobby Sandstorm' @TheMuggySpud on the Warzone journey, with Connor @JamaicanSteve by our side. Macca was going ham with the HDR, popping people's heads clean off whilst we were running our arses off to stay alive in the zone. I don't think Cal was ready for my objective based play as at one stage as he had no clue where I was...only to check the map and see me 500m away grabbing a contract cos I just can't sit still and snipe 🤣 We nearly made it to the end, when the boxes restocked. We grabbed a few extra perks and set off up the hill, only to be blindsided and caught up between a few teams. Pretty sure finished 5th overall but a never-ending rollercoaster of game with 18 kills as a team was a great feeling. Let's get some more stories up on how you've got on for Warzone. Don't care what mode, just share how you've been getting on!

Has anyone given this a try? Does anyone enjoy these tycoon type of games? I've always loved this genre but I know console editions are always barebone versions of the full game. I just have the urge this week to build a rollercoaster that has the potential to kill guests by the bucket load and this seems to be the only Theme Park game around these days.

I'm actually excited about this one. Imo there wasn't a good CoD since Black Ops 2 up until the MW reboot. Then after, there hasn't been a good CoD since. I have a feeling ill love this one too as its using the same engine. Couldn't give 2 shades of a shit about the BR mode though unfortunately.

Yes I think dier has been decent this season. Every spurs manager has picked him so he is obviously a good player and they trust him. I thought Sanchez was gunna be good but hes not fulfilled his potential so I think they will try for another CB. Re midfield, I think they never quite replaced eriksen he was top quality, and Moussa dembele a couple of years ago was really good too. that ndombele never really got going. Good point about Kane @GazzaGarratt but I reckon someone will bid for him, maybe even man utd
