I'll definitely be back on this game when the update drops. I've met some cool peeps via this game but I don't think this is going to win over a new audience which is a shame.

I don't mind 30fps in most games.

There is every indication the game will look incredible, but even with that in mind these are still bullshots.

Good to see Star Wars Galactic Racer up there, what a game.

Star Wars Galactic Racer for me, nearly through act 3 but failed at the last pod race challenge. 007 First Light with the Mrs, both great games.

@wildcat_kickz I heard you'd got this game as well. Prepare for an arse kicking mate.

I actually didn't like the old face but the new face isn't much better haha.

Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 are some of my favourite games so this is a shame. I doubt EA will properly utilise the IP either.

Luckily Exodus is coming out next year which looks great.

Think I'm going to cancel my Extra when my billing period starts again. If I'm looking to the next 6 months there's GTA6, Exodus and I haven't finished KCD2...007 and SW Galactic Racer will keep me going as well so there's not much time for other games with all that.

Star Wars Galactic Racer. This is the best anti-grav racer since F-Zero GX - it feels fresh and nostalgic at the same time. The rogue lite campaign is great and the sound design especially is immense.

@GirlVersusGame DJ Kerry and DJ Tom is pretty hilarious.

Reigning Blood is a perfect thrash album, not a single weak moment in the whole record. Such an influential album for me and the best Slayer album by some distance.

Split screen would be a great addition. It'd also be great if they implemented music into races, which I've heard is missing. In Episode 1 Racer the music only started on the last lap, if I remember rightly, which was a brilliant way of building tension.

@Northern_munkey @themightyant What a difficult game Sekiro is, brilliant though. The last boss took me about 3 months to beat, I've been meaning to go back to it on NG+.

Star wars Galactic Racer for me from Tuesday onwards, Balatro in the meantime (I suck at this game, only beaten it once).

This is great news, I love an anti-grav racer. I managed to Platinum Wipeout-HD and back in the day I even got all stars on every cup in F-Zero GX. Couldn't do that now though, my reactions aren't what they used to be!

Great, but this is 8-10 years away.

I agree that you can't compare the popularity of these two characters. Spiderman is utterly massive, everyone loves him.

'State of Decay' can be used to describe the games industry generally at the moment.

@lacerz hahaha, I imagined that being said in that inane generic cod radio chatter.

This is a real shame, I enjoyed a lot of their games. Seems creativity is often punished severely by both the corporations and the consumers.

It's clear there is a lot of love for Destiny 2 even with all the mistakes Bungie have made, I could personally take it or leave it, however reviving past expansions and hinting at D3 is a smart move. Not only does that create a sustainable revenue stream and interest in the future of the franchise, it also takes a lot of pressure off of Marathon, which is a brilliant game, but clearly didn't connect with the masses. Hopefully the all the crazy people will stop blaming Marathon for their life's woes and Destiny's previous discontinuation. P.S play Marathon, it's great.

@DennisReynolds I thought the ending was great actually. It put a lot of empthasis on the characters rather than being a total CGI smash fest (although there was a bit of that). Great film and it got extra points because of that for me.

And here I am thinking about cancelling by PS Plus Extra subscription to spite Sony.

I won't have too much time to play this weekend but still going through Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, what a brilliant game, even better than the first. Thinking about getting Control Resonant as I'm a big fan of the first game but I'll have to see what my bank balance is like.

@GirlVersusGame It's been a good while since I was in a gigging band but I can't remember hearing it then and I don't use social media now so must have passed me by. Interesting you were in that industry, thanks for the insight.

I always had a second job when I was gigging because making a living from music was hard enough 10 years ago, much more so now I suspect.

@Toilet_Goat Normie metal? Never heard that before lol, what's non normie metal, like Nile or something?

I think if they don't have Foreigner - Waiting for a Girl Like You then they've missed a trick. Anything by Cannons too.

@SodaPop6548 I've also read all 9 books in this series and I thought the majority of them were very good. TV show was also great.

Looking forward to this and Exodus.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, really enjoying it but only just got to the wedding.

Red Dead Redemption 2's controls were awful so i'm glad they are addressing this.

I also like this game a lot but I felt like the balancing was slightly off and the game was too hard without difficult to acquire upgrades.

KCD 2, Marathon, Helldivers 2 and assorted other games. Into reading at the moment so that's what I'm doing more currently.

I thought it looked quite good but I wasn't bowled over by it. Then I turned on Cyberpunk 2077 and realised that driving around the city looks stunning, possibly even better in motion than GTA6. I might get this, undecided.

Is that it? Thought it would be longer...

The move with the American flag sold it for me.

Wasn't increased security against leaks one of the justifications for not putting the game on disc? Well, that appears to have been shattered.

Love MGS4, will get round to playing this one day!

I agree with some other comments on here, social media is just a vile place and I haven't used it for many years. So much happier now.

Hey, guys, let's see if we can boycott this one, surely it'll work this time right... right?

I bought Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 30 minutes ago lol.

There's a lot of great worlds out there but one that stands out for it's uniqueness is Xenoblade Chronicles. I think the games themselves are good but too bloated, and I'm not really into the whole anime thing. The worlds themselves however are fascinating and bats**t crazy.

Final Fantasy 16, which I think is good but not sure it's really great yet. It feels very restrictive to me, very limited build options overall.

Marathon this evening with @Northern_munkey and maybe some other Push Squarers.

Generally though I've just been reading quite a bit at the moment, reading the second book of the Red Rising Trilogy at the moment (what a ride) and listening to the Audio book of Project Hail Mary, very enjoyable listen!

@Stevemalkpus I actually have a soft spot for anything mainly set in the same environment all the way through, and I'm not sure why. Think Die Hard, The Raid, Control, Arkham Asylum etc.

This sounds great, not had nearly enough time recently to be on Marathon but intend to give this a go this week and next.

Playing through Final Fantasy 16. Not quite sure how I feel about this one. It's very linear which I don't mind, but when you couple that with extremely limited build options, equipment and party abilities it feels very much on rails and very restrictive overall. I'm hoping it's going to open up a bit more because the story is pretty good and that's what's keeping me going at the moment.

I do like Obsidian a lot, but they need to write better or more memorable characters, with dialogue to match. If they sorted this out then their RPGs would be amazing because mechanically they are sound. Also it's no wonder Outer Worlds 2 didn't sell as well if it was shoved on to Gamepass day one

I've been following this industry for a long time and I can't remember another week that made me want to quit gaming altogether, but this might be it.

Maybe I'm getting older but think I might just read books and paint from now on you know and not buy new games - I don't want to support this industry generally.

Well, I've actually found gaming incredibly expensive over the past couple of years so I don't buy new releases very much anyway. Ps6 probably won't be for me.

Oh well, there's plenty of books in my backlog!

Spacemarine 2 and Marathon. Might start FF 16 soon, heard good things.

I agree there are positives and there's a nuanced discussion to be had about its potential uses and dangers.

Do we all need to keep generating images of Will Smith eating spaghetti or whatever? Increased AI use increases the need for compute and therefore empowers AI companies build more data centres in developing countries and impoverished communities... I would just read the book I noted above which highlights these ongoing concerns.

@Skinny-Pete Fair enough...well, I would suggest a read of 'Empire of AI' to know the damage AI causes.

We could all stop using AI.
