  1. It's got some good ratings on Steam from its early access period and has a decent number of players. The finished game looks more refined but still seems a bit bland. I will probably keep my eye on it to see how it plays out once the rest get their hands on it tomorrow.
  2. I think Black Ops 7 is supposed to have wallrunning and all that mumbo jumbo. The franchise does need a bit of a shake-up even if it does go back to that unpopular type of mechanics. It's just a shame they have to bleed the brands to death because they can't be creative and come up with something fresh.
  3. Looks like Microsoft are entering the handheld market with a ROG Ally-branded device in partnership with ASUS. Xbox is no longer a console, it's a platform, and it's already entered a battle for control over your handheld gaming PC | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Xbox is becoming more like PC and Windows is becoming more like Xbox... is Microsoft looking to muscle SteamOS out of the way? Could be another interesting option especially as Valve's Steam Deck is restricted at retail-level but price will be a huge factor here. Hands-On With the Xbox Ally X, the New Gaming Handheld from Asus and Microsoft - IGN WWW.IGN.COM The Xbox handhelds are coming Holiday 2025 and they're impressive, but many questions still remain.
  4. These games always get discounted early on - usually after 4 weeks the 'premium' edition reduces to that of the base game price and then a month or so after that you can usually get 33% off the standard. By the time the football season starts you can grab it for half price and then it's 75% off going into the new year. It's a great purchase after Christmas although the game is on its last legs at that stage but it's still great value. EA just bank on people to buy into it within the first month when things are fresh and everyone is playing. I'll probably grab this for under a tenner next January just for the single player.
  5. Confirmed. Honestly, what a load of crap. As if the franchise isn't stale enough, let's release a sequel back-to-back off the back of a game that people already seem to hate. Can't one of these imbecile studios come out with something that isn't Black Ops or Modern Warfare now? If we get Black Ops 8 in 2026 then I'm giving up gaming.
  6. Should be good! Now give us a Code Veronica remake and that’ll keep me happy for the next few years
  7. I watched Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning the other day and enjoyed it. I did think the film was a bit long though and it was bloated with too many characters and poorly written exposition. Some strong character performances especially from the villains and the action was plentiful.
  8. PSG absolutely battered Inter tonight! I can't see Spurs posing much threat for the Super Cup Final so much work is needed. Inter just didn't turn up and PSG were totally on it. I really like how they continued to press and try to score more goals - sick of seeing some teams shut up shop with half hour to spare. Could've been 8-0 if Barcola could for once hit the target.
  9. Not surprised by the mixed reviews - really silly concept and I will never understand what they were going for. I think some of the positive reviews are reaching but they are too scared to give it a lower score in fear of a backlash.
  10. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sells 3.3 million copies in 33 days, in case you needed any more evidence we're living in a simulation | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM 33.3 percent, recurring, of course, chance of good sale figures.
  11. This game is out in a couple of weeks and is in its last big publicity drive - it seems to be The Day Before meets GTA or some crap. There's been a few heavily scripted gameplay trailers which have looked generic as hell and according to testers, the game in its current state is monumentally bugged whereby cheats have to be enabled to bypass missions and bugged scenes. The game seems to be playing on the fact this is directed by washed ex Rockstar big shot Leslie Benzies but everything about it screams cheap asset flip. There's still hope that things could change but it's not looking very encouraging so far.
  12. I think it's Sony pulling the strings and calling the shots. Kinda defies belief that they thought Concord and Marathon would be two massive online service hits🤣 It's also weird that they've chose to leech off of Bungie's sci-fi trilogy of the 90's for this guff and not do something original or a stronger classic brand maybe in the Destiny universe. Also just seen Marathon has an art book in the works - wonder if they will pull this seeing that a large part of their work (including part of the cover art) has been lifted from an 8 year old Twitter post. The game will cost £35-$40 which is the final nail in the coffin.
  13. I think so. He deserves to stay and although this is the worst domestic season I have ever witnessed, you can't really sack a manger who delivers such a big trophy and it would be very damaging for the reputation of the club at what should be a period of celebration. We all remember the Mourinho debacle where he was sacked just before the League Cup Final he helped Spurs get into and the horrible knock-on effect that had on and off the pitch for years. I did think Ange should go regardless, a couple of months back but I think there is a much more positive vibe around the club and this season in the league could just be written off instead. It should be a huge confidence-boosting thing and it's also a good fuck you to the media and the banterers. It'll be tough for him to build a Champions League worthy team in such a short space of time and it will be very costly but any sign of an upturn would be a huge positive. If it continues like this into the new campaign where Spurs are rooted to the basement then he probably will have to go but he will still leave a legend. The recruitment team will need to buck up their ideas and Levy will have to dig even deeper.

  15. Absolute legends! Wasn't pretty or easy but Spurs defended really well and scored when it mattered. Arsenal wont get over this very easily🤣
  16. It'll be very interesting to see what happens with Marathon's plagiarism situation because it seems a lot of the stolen assets make up quite a big portion of the details that compliment the art style. They are supposedly conducting a full asset audit and investigation, and I wouldn't be surprised if this game gets delayed even with it not coming out for another 4 months or so. If they can't find a resolution in this respect then they'll either have to whip up something quick or leave the game looking plain. It'll be shite either way. What's going to sink this game even more from a community standpoint is the amount of AI slop and contractors involved. Bungie used to be about the craft, innovation, vision and the team but now it's all about cost-cutting, property theft and temp employees to fill in gaps before AI finishes papers over the cracks. At this stage, being creatively bankrupt would be a massive improvement for them. Not only will they be going toe to toe with Arc Raiders, they are also being branded 'Art Raiders' as the humiliations and bad PR continue. Former staff have begun speaking out against management in the past few years and it's not good hearing that either.
  17. MGS2 had a pretty awesome intro and Deus Ex
  18. This 'enhanced' edition is an absolute disgrace. Alarm bells were ringing going into the game seeing a 'mostly negative' rating and boy oh boy did they hit the mark. Graphics are blurry as hell maxed out. Several things have been omitted and others have been censored. No reason to play this over even the vanilla original. What a disappointment but this is where the industry is at these days.
  19. Was just gonna say the same thing ^^^^ Installing Shadow of Chernobyl right now
  20. Another huge PR blow as Paul Tassi is seen as a huge Bungie supporter and optimist of games like this It’s Just Over For ‘Marathon’ WWW.FORBES.COM Marathon has always been teetered on the edge of future failure, but now that seems set in stone after recent events.
  21. Plus the enhanced editions wont overwrite the classics which is great. Any other AAA company would've removed the originals from sale and replaced them with broken AI outsourced garbage costing £49.99.
