That's really good to know, cheers for that. 5 years should mean at least it should be half decent. I recently logged all my games down and found so many football game variations that weren't FIFA or PES so its nice to see another into the market finally. I really hope there's many licenced clubs as gamers are a fickle bunch and it will impact the game if they haven't got many clubs full names, etc. I'm gonna check the interwebz too to see if we can find anything else online and share here!

Whats Rivals mate? Different to the co-op experience they added too?

FFS. Can't even buy the Gold Edition as a physical edition which is bullshit. Fucking EA are really trying to wind me up of late.

I won't be on Thursday 16th September, just in case you start it that week. Got a meal with work to go to unfortunately.

But can is it cross gen? I'm sure tehy confirmed it was somewhere recently. Thats what matters most.

This is a great help to know its really easy for the future - but i'd still stick to my opinion for now, mainly down to cost alone. A Seagate 4TB external hard drive (sponsored by PlayStation) is £75, whereas a 4TB SSD is £500. Yes, £500. Even if you want just a small upgrade like 1TB, that still would cost £150 whereas the cheapest external 1TB you can get to work with a playstation is £38. Until the market is saturated with many AAA PS5 games, I'm really not sure it is needed yet. We need to get to the stage where SSD is available for less than 3 figures before using methinks.

Happy big 4-0 Tommy!! @BO7H B4RRELS Hope you have an awesome day pal! 😎❤️🎂💃

Not in any order tips - and I completely agree with the NEVER to use standby option. It messes up with WiFi connections too when switched back on. Buy an external hard drive if you don't already - you store all your PS4 games on that and leave the few PS5 games you play on the internal. I'm not even looking at the SSD ones they will be compatible with soon as the prices are ridiculous. Unfortunately the internal storage is still far too small for days like these. Search the store for free PS5 upgrades - Mainly, the only way to see if a game you own and is installed as a free upgrade is via the store. Games like Destiny 2, Rainbow 6 and Valhalla have free upgrades - the full current list is here >> PS5 upgrades. The upgrades help visually but I think they are way worth it more for loading times more than anything else. Oh, and the Haptic Feedback in the controller too if it has that upgrade included! Recording voice chat for everyone - theres more places annoyingly you can mute yourself by accident on recordings or just in chat. Be careful on the controller as the small button that mutes your voice is easily pressed and superceds your own mic mute. Check settings to ensure voice is shared and also check when in a party that your voice is set to Always Allow on sharing. We miss so many funny moments cos we can't hear everyones voices. Saving screenshots and videos is now a couple of clicks - its very slick but a subtle change is being quick with the share button on teh controller and selecting then what you want to do. You can on teh fly save a 'quick video' and it offers to save last 30 seconds, 5 mins, 15 mins and so on rather than the last video which is as standard set to 60 mins. Favourite all your 'parties' - Especially all the FG ones! The friends screen defaults to parties and its quicker to see if someone is on mic in one. You can also now slice and dice what you mute....hence now no need to leave a party if you find people are sending messages into a huge party that has loads of us in! Inviting/Join people to games is done via party menu - Press PS button brings up the card view. You can then press on the names and invite to game straight via that way - and joinign can be quick that way too. Auto updates to games works better....for recent games - All the games you've recently played (left to right on the main menu) should auto check for updates every time you turn on the PS5. If you need a game updated from your library that has dropped off the recent list, i'd always suggest clicking Options and checking for Game Updates. Better than PS4 but sometimes can be a pain still but thats the world we live in now. Checking you open the right Game version - If you have the PS4 and PS5 version installed, before you start the game, press the Option button and 'Check Game Version'. Whichever is ticked will be the default one that opens for you every time. Some upgrades don't need teh disc to be in anymore! - Destiny 2 and Wreckfest PS5 versions don't need the disc to be in which is pretty decent tbh! If theres more i'll come back and share!

The real difficulty in the market is the desire to meet demand quicker than ever before as the cultural society we live in today just does not want to wait for games or content any longer. This isn't just games btw, its everything. Its why we have Netflix and see series come out as one whole series so people can binge stuff. In some ways we are creating addiction with everything. In games you see this with Destiny for example, as people hate timegating, although it was once acceptable back in the day. People want it all straight away and binge all the content as quickly as they can. The irony of this is then they say "Where's the rest?" which for me is so contradictory. I remember reading some years back that it takes 6-7 years to make a top AAA game. The problem is that its too long to wait for that and a lot hangs in the balance on whether they'll make their money back on it. Remasters and remakes are the way they have gone to fill the void because its updating existing infrastructure without the extra energy and years putting into the design of a game as its already been made. Whilst we shouldn't continue to accept shoddy remakes and poor AAA releases (looking at you Anthem), I think we also need to take a long hard look at ourselves as gamers. We've become abit more dangerous in ourt requests and then very dismissive of games that come out or get updated with battle passes and seasons - in which I think is actually a good balance to the world. If a game has free to play elements and then says 'hey, if you like what you're playing, you can grab the battle pass/season to play more of it if you're having fun' then i think thats a perfect balance. Its not a Paywall. Its our choice. And ultimately the developers of some of these awesome games have to get paid somehow. Problem with all that I write is that i'm asking for the most fickle-ist of groups to open up and be more appreciative of the state of games in some aspects. And a Gamers, like football fans, etc, will largely remain in the instant reactive world. An unrealistic world where no one wins. Hope that was a decent 2p view 😄

If (and appreciate its a big IF atm) the game has the Escape from Tarkov mode AND a mode which is PvEvP like The Hunt has, this game really is hotting up to be truly awesome. Excited muchly.

Tom @LordBaguette , let us know what you think as I know you've picked it up now (appreciate you've already completing the game twice). Also, SkillUp has said whilst its good, not sure if the extra island gives anything new so it could be like Phil said above on the samey samey side.

Yeah, i've seen enough to know i'll enjoy this a lot more than previous Battlefields. For some reason, the modern war seems to be more appealing right now considering we've had so much WW1 and WW2 gameplay across the last few years.

That is devastating and disgusting all in one. I'm not saying I wouldn't get my money's worth if you look at playtime alone for someone like me but I'd prefer not to pay £90 for the game we would all likely buy for far less once we wait for it to go down in price. Its like they don't want you to play with your friends. Incredible.

They have to be careful as they'll divide groups if thats the case. I can still see them offering the upgrade path from PS4 sales as not everyone has had access to a PS5 yet. Sounds as if the FGers here ended up wanting to move to FIFA 22, that means i'd be getting the PS4 version, not the PS5 one. Playing with friends supersedes seeing a slightly shinier model of the same game.

Not yet, but I need to try Pro Clubs as I got that version of the Beta. Still have a 7-10 days left to try it though. Pro Clubs would be a goldmine so unsure why they don't tweak that mode anymore than they currently do. I fear what James said. I worry more about cross-gen as they didn't even let that happen between PS4 and PS5 on FIFA 21. I think its unacceptable to not at lest offer cross gen, especially if you are a huge AAA developer/producer.

Not much more to say other than... (Although, I pretty much know its about ease and £££ signs). Oh, Bethesda.

Absolutely. Even if people don't like F1, its a fantastic watch regardless. Very well madehow it highlights the entire grid rather than just the winners. This season has been fantastic so far and i'm really looking forward to Belgian GP this weekend. I also heard about Lando potentially on Red Bull's cards to join them. Ngl, I hope not. Christian Horner really annoys me and whilst them being competitive makes it exciting racing, I'm hoping McLaren can really push on and break that barrier so they can make it nice and tight with 3 teams rather than 2 at the top.

Heads up quick intro....and she looks fookin incredible! 😍 4pm UK time Pre-show, 5pm main showcase starts tomorrow!

I watched it late last night and thoroughly enjoyed Boss Level. Wanted it to go on for longer but I suppose that's a sign of a good movie if you don't want it to end! Thanks for the opinion, Gary 👍

Another super season all! I'm kicking myself as if I was just a little more consistent in keeping the car on the track i'd be up there but it means always room for improvement with this game. Also, super to see some new arrivals this season with Nick @Bluebear and @Kurt joining in. We even saw @Diddums and Tom a few times more than expected so nice to have more on the track as it definitely adds to more battles through the course of the season. Well done to all the rest, super fun to look forward to and hopefully we can rope in more for next time as 16 on the track would be insane. Thanks to James @Lurch for doing our livery too and with our points per race and a little more luck, we should be pretty happy considering we had last choice in the manufacture sweepstake 😄 GGs all!

Happy birthday Justin! @FallenDark200 Hope you have a great day buddy! 😎🤘❤️
