Oooo, interesting! What day have you booked? Looks like its 7th-10th October. What type of tickets too? Day/Afternoon/Early Access?

I've always wanted to try Overcooked cos its apparently a decent co-op game. Dax wanted Predator a few months ago so he got it on digital. It isn't great tbh, but some of that is also down to the player pool isn't large so he can wait for ages for a game. I can see why it went to ps plus to stimulate some interest for the servers. Even writing this, my view of Predator has gone even further down come to think of it! 😅

Yes, you need both installed and you switch between game versions to play with people. However, what I would say is (just like in the PS5 tips topic) if you have a PS5 you need an external hard drive as the internal storage you were always going to fill up. Good news is if you had one on your PS4 then you can just unplug and plug into your PS5 to use and it'll store the PS4 version in that leaving the internal space freed up for further PS5 games. Please say you have one already as i'm not sure how you've coped playing 1-2 games on the PS4 due to the size of COD 😄

Right, there seems to be a lot of choices for Battlefield 2042 and considering it looks like it will be a popular game at FG, we should all double check what we're buying as in some instances when we look to put in big Private matches (cos we will) or just MP groups, we will need the right version to play together. Essentially the game is cross play but only with their corresponding current generation platforms. So, what this means is (if turned on): PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S owners will all be able to play together - max match sizes of 128 players PS4 and Xbox One owners will be able to play together - max match size of 64 players Pre-ordering ANY version will get you beta access which is still tbc when it will take place and the 'Pre-order pack' which includes: Baku ACB-90 Epic Melee Takedown Knife Mr. Chompy Epic Weapon Charm Landfall Player Card Background and Old Guard Tag A bit of info on the different versions: Standard Edition - PS4 / Xbox One Digital Version £59.99 Physical Version £54.99 (checked via GAME) Base game Pre-order pack Standard Edition - PS5 / Xbox One S / PC Digital Version £69.99 Physical Version £64.99 (checked via GAME) Base game Pre-order pack Open Beta Early Access Gold Edition (Cross-Gen version) Digital Version £89.99 NO Physical Version Base Game for PS4/Xbox One Base Game for PS5/Xbox Series X Pre-order pack Open Beta Early Access 7 Days Early Access Year 1 Season Pass - 4 New Specialists (1 per Season), 4 Battle Passes (1 per Season), and 3 Epic Skin Bundles (”Blistered Earth”, ”Tempest”, and ”Cold Blood”) Ultimate Edition Digital Version £109.99 NO Physical Version Base Game for PS4/Xbox One Base Game for PS5/Xbox Series X Pre-order pack Open Beta Early Access 7 Days Early Access Year 1 Season Pass - 4 New Specialists (1 per Season), 4 Battle Passes (1 per Season), and 3 Epic Skin Bundles (”Blistered Earth”, ”Tempest”, and ”Cold Blood”) Midnight Ultimate Bundle Official Digital Artbook Exclusive Digital Soundtrack Its good to know that if you have EA Play, you can save 10% on the final price of any version e.g. £9 off Gold edition so it is £81 rather than £90 What this all means is that with our FG playerbase largely 70% PS4 and 30% PS5 (with some dregs on PC too 😄), there are things to consider. At £90 the Gold Edition is very steep, £20 more than the standard new gen version, however this gets you both versions of the game to be able to play with previous gen folks and pays for the first season pass - which are usually anywhere between £20-40 depending on game on content. They unfortunately don't offer an edition that just gives you the cross play bundle, which arguably would've only been £10 more. It would be great to if everyone could vote what they are likely to buy soon because I would much prefer to be buying the same version that everyone else is playing over and above the graphic updates I would get on PS5. Same thought process for the PC folk, as it could be worthwhile buying a later new gen version a few months later when the game has decreased in price and possibly an upgrade is offered on its own. If I could find the cash then I would get the Gold version but with other games out around the same time I know i'm not the only one who has to think of the pennies for everything we have got coming our way for the rest of the year! So definitely could dip for just the physical PS4 edition as its £35 cheaper! End goal is I just want people at FG to feel like we can all play together, so please share your views on the poll and below! GGFG

He's 36 now, last year of his contract at Juventus and if you look how Messi left on a free, they decided to get a quick deal done. They'll still get up 20 million with the add ons so its not all bad. I don't think we'll see many 36 year olds in their last year of contract go for much more!

Thanks for letting us know mate - if you can come every so often still to race in whatever we do (for fun as always) then that would be ace. 🤗

Best 10 scores out of 12 yeah? Works for me buddy. Everyone - also shout up if Thursday still works or do we swap back to Tuesday. Comments appreciated ASAP below!

Happy for you to start this one whenever, you don't have to wait for me if people are eager. Maybe a good idea to take the top 10 results out of 12 perhaps too? Give people a feeling like they can miss a few and not impact league points? Let's get some interest in numbers so we know what and who will be participating - @Mikepjbell @crispymorgan @slamminbones @Lurch @jordie1892 @Teenwolf25 @LordBaguette @Macca89 @Diddums @Kurt @Misneach_ @Bluebear @G_dub52 @Findmartin Remember, just 1 manufacturer needed (except for 2 races with specific cars), 1 league race a week and the rest we carry on playing however long you can stay for - you think you all can make it for this one?!

Griezmann went back to Atletico and Barcelona brought in De Jong as a replacement - could be the end of an era for Barcelona for a few years. Dan James to Leeds for 25 million which made Man Utd business look very good in this window. Might not have been as many transfers yesterday but the whole window was pretty incredible for the amount of big players moving around.

I'm loving the new shields/blocking update as there's incentive to try out different shields now rather than just for show in your house 😄 Also, a super update seeing different meat being added as this feels like it was always needed from the start. The oven should add a good extra dimension to the way we eat stuff too. I'm eagerly awaiting the things we can craft though. I really hope we just get a bunch of stuff that can be created for different styles of houses. The things i can find that are new are as follows but please add if I miss anything cool! Treasure Chests Ability to stack coins and coin piles Darkwood roofs and window hatches Cooking station extensions - including, spice rack, butchers table and an oven! Onions 😅 Also, going to put an event for us all to try it out once its live. 10 players can play altogether at any time don't forget 😄

Next is New Ingredients

Third one is Shields & Blocking

Second update is on Health vs Stamina

Thought i would collate push out a separate thread with the updates coming as Iron Gate have made some videos about how things will slightly change to help playstyles and other things. I'm mostly looking forward to the new things we can create and build so hoping it will help our FG world that is already huge as it is! First video is the New Food System. The videos seem to be only a minute long so nice and quick to understand and pick up.

....me too 😅

How in the hell do you get through a planet's atmosphere?! Get some pics of that for sure!

Well thats beingchecked for an update now then! Cheers for the heads up James 👍

This has been a great thread. I need to do a breakdown for future updates and how much it costs so it will help you and others decide what to do. I would've also said its never too late because of how they've made the game now. I think they know players (the vast majority which are core to casual) dont want to just play this exclusively so they give enough content each week available to play so a few times a week feels absolutely perfect now. You can play even more but then thats down to what you want to achieve. They are finally reaping rewards of moving to a better underlying code so changes and hotcakes can happen much quicker. The story needs a better way for people like yourself to understand the past better but once you get up to speed the story is actually the best its ever been. I have the books (they are awesome) - its the only books I read but it isn't like a story as there are many facts and cryptic elements in it that make things a little difficult to visualise it all. I'll find the best video from MyNameIsByf about the backstop on Destiny. The grind was one of the things stopping everyone play this. Now they've tinkered the levelling and made all seasons available for at least a year rather than just that season means you can play for however much you want, which in turn you see more people on all the time. Finally, crossplay should really mean we can finally all truly help each other. I don't think there's even been a better time to either start or cone back to the game. The combination of the game's state, upcoming content known for the next 3+years and the way that FG people are helping out everyone now, its the best its ever been.

Feb is going to be a good month next year then! Great stuff its not too far away.

I don't know why they'd make it a standalone release either, unless they flesh it out way more than it is already. Granted though, its a fantastic co-op game mode and really enjoyable if you get time to play with mates on it.

A space motorcycle?! That does look insane. Funny how it hovered in the sky when he got off and left the engine on 😄 So essentially you could get a monster spaceship and store this motorcycle on it yeah?

Jesus, couldn't be a truer word spoken! It looks incredible! What platforms will this be on?

Have you got any games that I haven't got?? I'd buy them off you and you can then buy the digital version if its available perhaps? 😄

England Squad for the 3 September Qualifiers: First call up for Patrick Bamford with Mason Greenwood just missing out although Gareth Southgate has confirmed his form is good enough to be in the squad but allowing him to progress further with Man Utd for the meantime. I didn't expect many changes in the squad tbh, based on their performances at the Euros.
