I feel like we've met the full circle moment where everything will (hopefully) start from scratch again, especially if you see all the deals being done by clubs and sponsorship deals with the new and upcoming football games. We used to have so many football games back in the day, I think its a huge potential for any game producer to grab right now. We clearly feel that EA Sports FC will be just FIFA 22 rebadged, which I don't care if they do unless they try and ask us to blow large amounts on it. They need to tap into the gamemodes that people really REALLY love out there but clearly they don't see it can't be a goldmine, which I believe it could be and then we all win too because we get updates to them. And imo, those gamemodes that tons of people have loved for years are Pro Clubs from FIFA and Master League from PES. How good would it be to be able earn your way to create your own Pro Clubs badge or play a full Online Master League with other people. Confuses me so much that this is right in front of their faces and they can't still see it.

Is this similar to Genshin Impact at all?

I thought it was a really great considering some hadn't done one for a few weeks and some hadn't done a full run in a complete run. It really is a fun raid and still challenging which can lead to it being abit longer as each phase feels pretty long, especially the first one. Great feeling when we nailed it though. Special thanks to @Leeesh13 for slamming most people off the hexagon spikes in the jumping puzzle. If god made elite-titan trollers.....😎 Thanks for doing this Sam! Look at that nice shiny medal Batman @Riff Machine 😎❤️

I didn't think of it like this but now you mention it, you could say that PCs are going the way of pricing themselves out of the market of the core gamer. It is far cheaper to buy a PS5 or Xbox, even if their prices feel quite high. And with many top end games needing later generational cards to get the graphics that people wanna see it does make me wonder why they haven't made a kind of 'budget' graphics card that could be very marketable right about now.

The oldest one looks ace. Is there a 'cheat' section in it? Always found that hilarious. I defo have 2 cheat books that came with a magazine i'll try and share but also my cousin managed Toys R Us back in the day and he kindly gifted me some artwork that was from advertising some early console games. Even though they aren't magazines, i'll see what I can find later!

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?

Might check what it is on the UK PSN store. Seems like a cool co-op game game to try out, even if its hard as nails.

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

Let's give you a small update story on how when Carl @TurboR56Mini joins the server, @crispymorgan jumps in and out and causes havoc in the process.... So, Carl needs to get where our little camp is for the interim period before we go off and find a better place to defend and call Home. After 5 minutes of walking around, Carl finds a place on the map where he is - Way East of Stary Sobor but thats okay. @phil bottle and myself start making our way to help get him and bring him back, with our food and drink supplies, it should be a piece of cake (Like Sponge cake, the easiest to make). At this moment, Crispy logs on. "I'll help, where are you guys?". We're half way there but we stop around in a small village, about 2 mins away from Carl. We loot a few things and grab basic stuff. Phil goes to hide in a building, whilst i'm just checking the map to see how far we've gotta go. BANG, BANG! Crispy has arrived. Now I haven't got using a gun yet on the server. I take very much the Sledgehammer approach. Its a very therapeutic way of relieving stress with Zombies. Now before Crispy finishing saying, "yeah if we go that way", Zombies start to flow. Nay, they thunder towards us. Cripsy bags himself straight into the building on the street. "Uh, lets get ourselves inside for a second". Okay. But first Ihave to get over a small wall to the building. By that time Crispy has made his way inside - and closed the door. Now, at this moment. I start panicking slightly. No deaths on the server yet, decent loot on me, tons of stuff for Carl too (a fancy Police Cap was going to be my first present for him). I race to the door - "Let me in, mate!", as a Zombie starts to munch on my shoulder. "Just get in!", "I'm TRYING!!". Now, i'm clearly pressing D instead of F because mild panic sets in with blood on my screen. When I then start pressing F, it doesn't open. Unbeknown to me, Crisoy tries to open the door at the same time resulting in Door staying firmly closed. One last time I press F, the Door finally opens.... BANG BANG BANG BANG! This screen follows: Somehow Crispy forgot that Doors can't be opened by Zombies and thought my pale looking survival body with a Green Helmet on looked like I wanted to eat him. In the space 0.134 seconds too. Its the thought that counts though, as Crispy then proceeds to try and say that "you look revivable, hang on". But, alas, my screen stays on that screen above. Funny that. Lessons learned. 1. Never let Crispy out of your sight. 2. Never let him come on a road trip.

Got a really good start into the game over the past week and a bit. I know I've only tocuhed the surface but thanks to @kaltak initially showing me the ropes with some progression on the early story to get me through the first Space Station I cam across and some upgrades to my rucksack and all-in-one blaster 😄 Thanks Kal! I was then on over the weekend and was around when @Shucker and @TurboR56Mini we're on the same planet together. After joining, I realised that I was visiting my first stable planet! Its mad that you have to see only harsh planets at the start and it felt so nice not to worry about Carbon, Sodium or Oxygen at all. I went off to find some Hidden Tech so I could get the Salvaged Data for the building parts and found a huge tunnel I dug into from the top so followed it out and ended up on the end of the cave which looked a perfect place to start a proper base build (rather than the crappy one you have to try and do on the crappy planet! 🤣). Carl really helped by giving me some proper renewable power and helped me get a ship from a random NPC that actually landed right next to my build! The power whilst I still want to learn it, really does help someone doing that at the start otherwise it feels like a really harsh start as the wiring isn't that obvious at the start and costs an absolute bitch of carbon. I couldn't get a pic of the base because for some reason I can't see where it is when I logged in - @Shucker , @TurboR56Mini , might need your help understanding that one. Outside of that though, heres my ship and me so far. Thanks for the help so far you guys, really helpful to have a little jumpstart. Just need to move the story on I think so I can get to the Anomaly(?) as Carl says that allows you to learn even more of the cool building pieces, like landing bays which I NEED very muchly. Fanks.

Well, a cheeky few games at the end of the night weren't going very well so @Macca89 , @datfroggieguy and myself decided it was the last one of the night. Surprising ourselves, we seemed to get through the smaller circle after losing our Gulag's early doors. The final 20 left started to become very twitchy as people were coming from all angles, but we managed to find a sweet spot where they didn't spot us....until all carnage broke loose! Quick kills, self-revive central, and some great team combo kills to keep us in the game left us to kill the final two single people to get for the W. I clearly got giddy and tried to get the kill but got nailed, but left Macca and Froggie to pincer move the last man for well deserved win!! Great game. Here's the last 5 mins of the game. GGFG!! Our Final Kill summary. 14 total kills, high damage from the whole team - we'll take that thank you very much! 😄

Love the aesthetics. Always loved that style of retro character.

Any gameplay anyone would recommend watching? Looking forward to your review @Riff Machine if you are trying it out. Looks like Ghosts from that trailer but obviously doesn't give you much of an inkling as to what to expect. Still, its visually stunning.

Like the puzzle feature. I could see this one being a frustrating one to work out how to beat the enemies after each puzzle piece.
