I can't believe its been 10 years! Pre-ordered and I hope that we do see many of us back on, its been a while and I know we'll all enjoy the ride whilst it lasts.

Just another FYI - The Ferrari 330 P4 '67 £20m legend car is available to buy again if anyone needs it for their PS Trophy collection. @phil bottle

If you haven't picked up Streets of Rage 4 before, then this is an absolute great month to get it! Superb game, even more so if you loved the classics back on the Mega Drive.

I think the kicker for me is if the new map comes with new items, accessories or in-game activities you can get involved with. A new map is nice to explore new scenery for a game or two, but if we are doing the same without being able to develop maybe perhaps base building in greater detail, new people will struggle to get involved like they already do today. As you say Phil, its just another skin that people will want to add mods to it.

YES! That was a great game too. This made me think of Super Saturday at the London Olympics. Some great scenes whilst watching this unfold through the whole day. Can't believe the whole event was 12 years ago 🤯

Not Super Mario Kart, philly?!! Unless that wasn't 90's I guess? Absolutely incredible game. I spent ages even just on the training missions 😄 The dreamcast version of this was incredible!!! The world map on how they created the campaign was just not like any other fighting game. Another fantastic concept that made a game standout on its own. Just couldn't get into these unfortunately! Although @Findmartin was hooked on these if i remember rightly. A game before this was Pandemonium that I really enjoyed that was even more linear than Crash was. Snap 😄 I would've said Zelda on the GameBoy but unfortunately I was so shit at the game, I couldn't get far so didn't like it back then! Now, playing it on SNES online, I can now see what the fuss was about!

Man, this is sooooo hard. Too many to choose from given it was peak gaming as a kid. I loved Virtua Racing on Mega Drive. Took graphics and games to a new level. And then followed by an incredible TOCA and TOCA 2 games on the Playstation 1. Driving games just were never as good as these for a while. So many sport games tbh defined me as a kid so I have loads that wouldn't really be on many people's radar, like Madden 92 NFL and NHLPA Hockey 93 which was insanely good. Micro Machines Turbo Tournament 2 was incredible for their tournament mode of 4 leagues with promotion and relegation - some concepts that are still not matched in other games to this day and I have no idea why. Outside of sports games, Tomb Raider I think was just gamebreaking for RPGs. And as others say, Final Fantasy 7 lit up what was achievable on open world games for me.

Yeah I was hoping the same for me tbh...but I haven't reinstalled it as watching is a little easier than getting stuck into a large open world survival game!

Genuinely......I dunno mate 🤷‍♂️ It all starts with games. And then ideas to be able to do mini internal fun tourneys or game nights. We've done that with FIFA not long ago and I tried to get it going on other stuff that would've played to this but in all honesty, no one can be arsed of late lol. What would you do with the clans outside just a few game nights? I'd like to think we're old enough and past it to be really bothered about internal clan disagreements that can easily happen over time....but then again, this is games and the history of FG before it was FG was alot of that! Probably why we're still FG after all this time 🤣❤️ If its life you want to bring back into games, suggest some games and mini tourneys or game nights we can get behind over a period of time. We have loads we can do, for instance Gran Turismo was on a roll...but like any game, it needs people to organise, gather the troops and then people need to set up events t get their arses online 👊 I'd be up for a random old retro clan catch up one night on something, although i'd be FG cos I was never in any of the others many many years ago.

Some have been playing it - @techno @LordBaguette @Macca89 @Mitch @MrBiron I've downloaded it but not really sure why lol. I don't think its a cod killer by any means. I mean first off, CoD can kill itself pretty easily as we've all seen, but this game hasn't had really any marketing and for a free game to hit hard it needs that early thousands flock to it like Apex Legends did. With no SBMM, I think you'll find you wanted to like it, but in reality it just doesn't give you enough satisfaction back....and SBMM would've actually helped with that to a degree.

MW recent CoDs have been some of the better ones in the franchise so I hope they can bring this back and make it worthwhile. I've not seen anything on this one though to tempt me like MW2 and MW3 did.

This one killed me 🤣 @slamminbones can take all the credit for this one! Can't get the song out of my damn head 🤣🤣

33 named, 7 to be trimmed for the 26-man squad for The Euros 2024. Select the 7 to be left out and maybe say some reasoning below.

Yes! The Holland 4-1 and Germany 5-1 destructions were incredible days for me too. I actually would add England 3-2 Argentina, which was a friendly but dictated who would be the higher seed at the World Cup and it was far from a friendly! I have both 5-1 Germany and 3-2 Argentina on DVD still as those games were that good.

Leeds should win and they'll be hammered if they don't. The end of the Championship though has shown that anything that can happen....

Football? Oh go on then. There's so many, probably why we love the game so much. But this following 2 minute montage just reminded how much I was so behind the England team in 2021. That was a magical day. A time where everyone doesn't believe we can beat big teams. That Southgate can't do it. That Kane can't do it. What a day that was. I'm literally tearing up watching it all over again. And again. And again. This is what we live for. ❤️

Hmm, that is hard. Weirdly, one that sticks out is the Cricket World Cup final England vs New Zealand. Insane game. Scores level and tied at the very end, which is rare in itself but then the Super Over was effectively ending level too but England winning on countback for Wickets. So many random things happened. Bear in mind our captain Stokes is a broken injured man through it all, and to top it all off, England actually ended up as the winner. I accidentally punched my ceiling jumping up in celebration 🤣 From just under 5 minutes, it is absolute carnage.

Can't see it being dropped. We can't be the only league without it when you go to Europe and big international tournaments it will be on I would suspect. Let the teams have 2-3 calls for VAR through the game that can pause the game up to 3 minutes at a time. Works in other sports but doesn't take the responsibility away from the man in the middle that everyone has to accept their decisions.

Perfect, makes sense now. Thanks @Lurchzy and @J4MES OX4D. I've now read that Sony seem to have still not made the game re-available in the 177 countries they are not in so even though PSN linking was made optional again, I don't think this is the end from a Sony perspective. I do think things can change in games over time, especially in live service ones like this one but clearly if they knew this before as an option that may happen then all they had to do was communicate it. Mental how many things fall over in the world just because someone didn't say something at the relevant time.

Of course 😎 We're out for you @jordie1892!!!

Can I ask for some thoughts thats popped in my head on this one recently please? Started playing Sea of Thieves again because its now on PSN - stay with me, its not an offtopic thread point! 😅 - its been amazing to play, just like Helldivers. But the first thing that struck me was you MUST sign into a Microsoft account to play Sea of Thieves on Playstation. I quickly googled if Microsoft Xbox was available in all countries and it isn't, similar to Playstation. For Helldivers to get the bad press was gutting for Arrowhead but understandable knowing the restrictions PSN reading online. However, Sea of Thieves have had none of this media coverage since it launched 10 days ago. Am I missing where these two games are different in any way at all? I appreciate the insight if anyone has any 👍

Seems a pretty niche but cool artistic vibe to it. I like MP games trying to get more party sizes into games bigger than 4 too.

Mental that all the teams at the bottom of the Championship won on the final day. I don't think I've ever seen that, you'd have expected at least one to falter but all 4 involved won!

There's a free starter pack on PS Store for anyone interested getting into this.

Hear hear @phil bottle. I do add some protection from keywords to try and stop as many as we can not even posting but it is inevitable we'll keep getting them over time. Like Philly the Great says, keeping reporting them. Note, you can use a button instead of replyign to report content if needed. That sends an email straight away to all Moderators and Admins that a post has been picked up by someone that looks suspicious. Thanks all GGFG ❤️🖤
