Hah. Microsoft Flight Simulator - The next generation of one of the most beloved simulation franchises WWW.FLIGHTSIMULATOR.COM Microsoft Flight Simulator is the next generation of one of the most beloved simulation franchises.

Here's a good trailer breakdown for anything you may have missed I do think there are a lot of low quality textures in places so I'm hoping that's down to it allegedly being 'pre-alpha footage' rather than a technical sacrifice. Also not sure why they make these trailers so spectacularly exhausting as it's not true enough to the core gameplay. I'll have to wait for the proper gameplay to make a judgement but I'm feeling quite positive about it. We need a grand shooter over these no-ambition flavour of the month battle royale games.

It's more than "an extra few frames" Mr I'm afraid of the keyboard. Crossplay and Discord overcome the other one👍

The majority will be PS I imagine. PC all the way for me. If you don't get it on PC we'll be around to confiscate your GPU👍😁

Wonderful recap on the drama at BioWare/EA. A few interesting notes like a little comment on how BioWare has been fighting with EA to get back to what BioWare does best and not be chained to the EA mandate of GaaS.

The thing is, this Battlefield going back to what it's good at. BF1 and BFV just can't compete as they don't have all the modern tech that makes the game so much fun. I see they're going to do the usual and those who buy the premium versions will get on a week before everyone else. So I'm just hoping if they have any net code issues they're fixed by the time I get on it. I'm genuinely looking forward to it, probably more than any other game of 2021.

Fuck Spain. That is all.

Football, what football?

Described as Skyirm in space. They dropped a teaser trailer yesteday and the release is a very long way off. Feels like this game has been in development for an eternity now I'll keep my eyes on it but I still can't believe we haven't had any gameplay footage yet.

Upcoming new area teased here. Development on this game is slow but it's always worth the wait when they drop a new map.

i genuinely can't understand living in such a technologically advanced age and with computers everywhere and not even being able to grasp the fundamentals, but maybe i am the odd one since i liked tech and pcs from when i was very young and have been using them for most of my life, but yeah i have similar experiences from helping family and friends with anything technological, still i can't get used to it

Fly a bloody plane with k+m? I still haven’t lost my ‘L’ plates GTA5 on the PS4!! 😂😂😂

Hahaha... Honestly, from my perspective on the people I work with, yes. The lowest common denominator in their user/client base need to be treated like toddlers. Because they act like f*cking toddlers. I have worked with C-level Executives/Owners of companies/Founders of companies/multi-millionaires/multi-billionaires for over 15 years of my life so far. Do you know what makes me good at my job and constantly head-hunted? I treat my executives like toddlers. If I can't trust a 5-year with something, it's not dumbed down enough. Everything I give them is color coordinated, labeled, spelled out, giant font, and with pictures. Because 99.999999% of Executives are f*cking idiots when it comes to looking at anything digital... and well, anything else really. I have seen people climb ranks in companies, and the moment they start to manage people, they immediately start to get dumb on how to work basically anything. I have been called into conference rooms because they don't even know how to turn on lights. TURN ON THE F*CKING LIGHTS. Or close the shades... or even put things on the conference room TV. So, yes. Toddlers. I'm not saying it's a great thing. I think it's how we get more stupid people. But, it also gives me and most people in IT job security because stupid people.

yeah you can make it more "traditional" but still look at all that wasted space on the start menu, you have less programs on a bigger/more spaced out menu(granted i have beef with most new ui/ux designs because they are insulting imo thinking that we are toddlers and we want big pictures with no reading and as a result sites like imdb have become borderline useless) and you have to click more to see all the programs you have installed instead of the list that we have until now, also the recommended space was until windows 7 a small list with your last accesses stuff and not this gigantic thing i really hope i can tailor it to how i want without resorting to 3rd party programs

There is thankfully a dark mode and you can shift around taskbar icons. What will happen is 99.9% of users will just revert back to their familiar Windows 10 interface I do quite like the layout and icon style - Windows 10 is currently a mash up of Windows 7 with some Windows 8 panes/tiles in places.

and the pattern of making one good os and one terrible continues... yeah i am going to skip this mac/tablet hybrid os

Daaaamn! Nice system dude. I'm jealous of that 3090! Congratulations 🙂

@RenFengge I have haven't entered any yet but will be at some point main reason I have a few half marathon races coming up which aren't a problem but I need to train so I can get a decent time but with the heat in the UK at the moment is a problem.

It took me half of the first episode to get past that. Part of me was all "I want nothing to do with this." The other part of me said, "But, it could be a really cool story."

Any thoughts on games to test the new system? Metro Exodus just released a Ray tracing update which make it one of the best looking games out there. I may be able to lay my hands on a Steam key if you fancy it?

Although I have a PS5, I'll be getting this on PC because it'll likely have much more server options and better performance scope. Battlefield with a keyboard and mouse also feels sublime.

Forza Horizon 4 is a magnificent game and very well polished, so no doubt this will be too. Not sure I need it though.

Although I'm not a huge fan of these sandbox racing games, I can't help but appreciate the sheer level of polish that these developers offer in them. It looks absolutely remarkable in places and the technical quality is some of the most refined I have ever seen. Horizon 3 and 4 were both incredible and 5 looks to be another stunning experience

That looks good and I’m excited for it. Though it would have been nice to see some actual gameplay rather than the look how cool it is set pieces “gameplay”.

Go Slovakia !! Great performance

While this announcement doesn't really affect me I feel for those it does. Buisness that had to plan to open next week now have the rug pulled from under them at the 11th hour. Also people seem to think, wrongly, it will be 4 weeks then yay were good to go, at this point I don't believe a word of it. At some point they have to give a definitive cut off point, plant the bloody goalposts in concrete. Also what's the point of briefing dates if this shit is constantly leaked through the media. One thing moving forward I feel is imperative is no more lockdowns.

I haven't put up an event for this Thursday what with the football being on, as i anticipate low attendance. But if a few people still want to play, let me know and I'll set it up.

I watched the Xbox/Bethesda show live and was hoping for some proper info on this game. Didnt really get much at all. As it stands, there's not really anything to say other than at least they're trying a new IP and hopefully on a decent game engine.

BF 2042 does look good must say 👍

Good man, that's what I was fishing for 😄 This is why we do these things, it always stays in the family ❤️

I'm hanging on to the monitor for the time being but, once all my data's transferred and wiped from the old one, I've told Lee that as it was very kind of you guys to get me started back into PC gaming, I'll pop it back into the FGFGF 👍

That's one hell of a rig Dave, I don't think Minecraft will stretch its legs 😄 Wow, I'm impressed. I'm pretty sure you've just planted yourself very firmly at the top of the tree here, nobody's beating that any time soon! Whatcha doing with the old one?

I want to put it out there first that I'm Scottish. Now I'm not anti-english, but I can't handle John Barnes rapping. It's one of the single most cringey things I've ever seen or heard. It's up there in my top 3 of cringe for sure. 😜

I will actually look forward to this and hope it's decent. The first one caught me by surprise as I was never really into zombie melee type games. But I watched a guy called ShoSho playing it, and the look of it just sucked me in. Didn't disappoint, probably one of my favourite games of the last 10 years in fact. It still looks good now but the parkour and the day/night mechanics really made you feel like you were in Harran. Its was genuinely creepy. One thing I noted though and will remember: I spent most of the game hoping to find guns but when I finally did, it became too easy and I stopped playing.
