I think this will be the start of many as it happens to all consoles eventually. I even looked last night and its quite difficult to buy a new PS4 now anyway.
 
The game itself does look great. My son absolutely LOVED these previous games and I recall playing the first one years ago and enjoyed it too, especially the puzzles in it.
 
How many characters can you be in this one? Has it been confirmed anywhere?

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. 

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. 

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?
 
 
 

And Radahn is dead!  I think that was the most fun I've had with a boss battle so far in this game.  Great encounter!

I've moved this to the RPG section.  It's fitting.  🙂

You said Guardians of the Galaxy was a shit film 😂
 

Chronically 2067.
Really decent watch mostly through out some of the acting in some parts was sketchy.
What bugs me though with films like this with time travel is massive plot holes which then I suffer for days in a state where I'm asking my self wtf were they thinking with the story and didn't they think nobody would notice the mistakes which there are a few.
 
Battle for Britain.
This is if not my favourite war film mainly due to how accurate the story was to real life events and pretty much still holds up in today's standards of war films.

I've no idea what possessed me to watch a Michael Bay film, perhaps a bit of hope and a trailer that made it look pretty decent and it's got Jake Gyllenhaal in it. What I got in return was a set of action pieces which were clearly made beforehand and then the rest of the film scribbled around them to try and make it work. The camera tricks were absolutely fucking pathetic and seemed like more of a look-what-we-can-do thing than a let's-make-a-good-film thing, it had scenes in it which went beyond making no sense and full speed in to intelligence insulting territory, many of which were completely and utterly pointless and served zero purpose for the story, the characters or anything. There are little camera angles throughout the 30 minutes we lasted that were clearly trying to create drama but just fell flat on their arse, the characters may as well have been cardboard cutouts and whilst I appreciate a good car as much as the next guy, not every single character in the film needs to drive a GTR or a Mustang or a classic Bronco. I have to hand it to him, if he wanted to create quite possibly one of the worst films ever, he's achieved that with alarming success. It's so shit that even a 0/10 wouldn't do it justice. It actually irritated me, that's how stupid it must think its viewers are.
On the other hand we watched Moonfall. On paper a ridiculous premise, in practice it was actually quite good, but ho-lee-fuck do they drag it out. The film could've been half the length and been great, but they dragged it on and on and on so that when we got to the they-all-live-happily-ever-after phase of the film, I just turned it off for fear of having to watch another 30 minutes of it. Such a shame as it had some serious potential early on. Still, it didn't treat us like idiots and that alone scores it a 6/10.

It's Gary, when he posts and opinion of a movie / TV show, the complete opposite is true 😂

Finally watched No time to die, thought as it was on Amazon I'd sit through it, wish I hadn't bothered.
The Daniel Craig era to me has been awful but this was one film too far, not only a bad Daniel Craig film a bad  film fullstop, one of the worst ever. The film is way too long, nothing much happens and Freddie Mercury is possibly the worst bond baddie of all time. Thank fuck they killed bond, if things don't improve moving forward then they may as well let the franchise die than churn out shit like this.

you liked it then?

Watched Real Steel...again. 😄 Always loved it since back in the day and one of those films I can re-watch multiple times in a year. Insane cast when you look at what they went on to do years later.

Superb overview. One thing that always gets overlooked is the joining of other members. Bloodborne didn't quite get that right in my opinion. It would be amazing to explore and seamlessly go into Dungeons as a group. Looked like 3 in the trailer but interested to know what the max party size is if anyone knows?

Yeah... I would probably give the poster a pass too. But steel case or art book, count me in though £200 is pretty heavy! I'm always a sucker for art books included in special editions.
 
Wish we had these editions, at the very least, the one you first showed. I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise that my pre-order has at least those art cards but whatever happens, I'm happy just to get the physical. Just 2 weeks more!!!

I totally agree. I main as an 80 STR two handed Tarnished and jumping heavy has always been my business, from mobs to bosses. Pair that with the claw talisman then buff it up with a War Cry and it's a pretty solid tactic through and through.
 
And high again Forever Gaming peeps! I'm sorry it's been a while XD
 
So much has happened from just wanting this game to actually playing it. I'm now 100 hours in haha.
 
Anyone had trouble with the paintings? It's one of the things in ER that I really use a guide on. Just throwing this in to contribute:

Hahaha I have a feeling this will be the case. I realized Elden Ring isn't really my first "Souls" kind of game. I played and finished Fallen Order which the world wide web seem to think is a bit of a Souls game, and much earlier before, Lords of the Fallen (which I played as a PS Plus on my old PS4) but regardless, I don't think they're the full Souls experience.
 
You're right, the challenge is hard enough on a linear game, more so that ER is open world (I've heard of this too). I'm so intimidated but at the same time, excited that I will be most likely cursing myself through the game and dying so many times haha. 😅

I will let you guys know in this thread how things go, it's almost around the corner!
 
Is that an art book or steelcase in front of the PS5 case? But damnnn for the same retail asking price, that's a lot of bonuses.
 
I totally agree with getting physicals as much as possible. I never get digital editions of games I like to play and have. Tales of Arise wasn't available from where I am and I had to borrow a friend's courier service account just to get a physical copy from Amazon. Totally worth it.
 
Glad they at least have Elden Ring here.

I pre-ordered my copy a few months ago and forgot it's almost release day for this haha. Never played any of the Souls games, this is going to be my first git gud game (there were others but I think this is the real deal).
 
Sooo excited!!!

Saw Munich: The Edge of War last night. Incredible film, really enjoyed every minute of it. Gave a lot of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy vibe as I was watching. The actors were amazing and Jeremy Irons continues to be a force to be reckoned with. That voice is incredible.

Hey there, FG friends! Is anybody else interested or planning to play Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising?
 

 
I have been waiting for this! Of course, the main attraction is Eiyuden Chronicle which comes out next year. Deemed as a successor to the Suikoden series, the guys behind the beloved JRPG series formed their own studio and launched the development of the game with a successful Kickstarter campaign.
 
They now have the funding and we'll just need to wait for the main game to come out next year. Rising is a prequel game and combines elements of platform and city building. So far, it's fun. You'll probably dislike it a bit if you hate fetch quests, which the game is mostly built upon (for the first hour, at least) but the game is reminiscent of simple PS1 JRPGs and I think that's the main appear for me.
 
It's currently on Game Pass (I know there are lot of Xbox gamers here, too) but it's also available on Steam/PC, PS4/PS5, and Switch. So far, it's only digital, but if a physical edition comes out, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. XD
