Is the conversion method still available guys. Was 2 yrs for 3 last time i used it. Is it still the same ?
Cheers

In UK, I just switched on 2 mins ago and it's back online.

Well it reviews well with those who have it. Half the price of Top Spin. Could be worth a look. Will see in a couple of days.

@carlos82 yeah, that one stumped me aswell lol. Haven't played Starfield but it probably deserves something.

@Kaloudz More tracks is a good start. It's good for hotlapping but the career stuff could do with a lot more variety of activities. Rivals has always been my main source of fun in Forza. Multiplayer can be fun if you're good , but usually ends up as a first corner crashfest. It's getting there though. Keep the content coming MS.

At last. Been waiting for a reason to reinstall it.

@Kaloudz SMH at Kaloudz

@lacerz It's been easy to see to those that don't wear their green glasses. It makes me wince every time Spencer fronts an article and hearing grown men foaming at the mouth calling him 'Phil' like he's their friend and he actually cares about them lol. Very sad , but to be fair, it's been the layout of the land for a decade at least across all fronts.
Whatever happened to just enjoying games for what they are?

1 step forward 2 steps back as usual.

@Kaloudz, I was the same but I gave it a go due to all the hype and It's agood game for it's type.
I'm sure some folk will enjoy it on the Playstation.

I'm just glad I got my latest £50 worth of points in the bag for Tekken. Personally I'm done with them now. What used to be 5-10 mins a day is now a real chore to get anywhere near the amount.
Feel for you guys that have just got you're boxes but the writing has been on the wall for the last couple of years. Job accomplished though for MS, those freebies really pulled in the numbers.

Really surprised we never saw another Blur or something like, I still have it on PC and when you ramp up the settings it looks amazing. It would be great to get a few on BC but as others have said, licenses. Plus with the amount they spent, I don't see them giving much away cheaply anymore. I think there's going to be a lot of nigh on full price remasters like Resi 4 sadly.

@FarmDog08 I was gonna do the same with Tekken 8 but golden outfits and a couple of characters didn't feel worth it.

Just earnt last few points needed for a £50 worth of vouchers with reward points. Tekken 8 for £15 day 1 .
Happy new year folks!

@Kaloudz There would nearly always be 8 of us in a party on a Friday night to play it. I came 3rd in the Mob in a Marvel/DC themed quiz. I remember the speed of your answer was as important as getting them right.

@Kaloudz Would be great to see a return , like you say , even if just for events. I won a copy of Undertow, which Microsoft never gave me lol.
But would be cool to see it rolled out again.

Best Tekken for years if you like the series. Will be my first day 1 buy since Elden ring.

The irony of these comments.....lolz

@Titntin, this hobby would be nothing without us lol. up the over 50's

Hopefully in another 6 months Forza will be a bit more fleshed out. I've put some hours in and the game is good, but there's barely anything to do. I've put it down for now(waiting for Nordschleife).
In GT7, when you open up the map fully it's the exact opposite. There's loads to do. So Gfx and sound aside, there isn't much to compare just yet. In my opinion it's not even close.

I got a cover from amazon for a Fiver, same for the ps5. Always covered when not in use. Both clean as a whistle.

@themightyant Agreed, they're both excellent value for what they are. I've got ultimate and plus extra and there is so much to play you could probably play something new every day for 3 or 4 months.

@Bnonymous 8bitdo have just released one for Xbox, was reviewed on here a cpl of weeks back.
https://www.8bitdo.com/arcade-stick-for-xbox/

Hopefully they can get a list of all the ones that will be unusable. I will be gutted if my mayflash elite is one of them.

Played last night for a few hours and really like it. Gonna be hitting the rivals a lot on this game. Would be good if somebody got a forum together on here so we can sort out some PX races. Need some gamertags to challenge in the rivals.
Xbox: Garbonzoni

From my experience with the series over the years, it will release with bugs, cars that need nerfing and Dlc cars that can't compete with the stock list. So though it's a big no for me, I'm grateful for anyone who is willing to fork out for it because it will give the devs all the data they need to implement the inevitable early game patch.
Which will save me and lots of others ' early game grief '.

Cuba

@StonyKL That's the XDF for you mate, lol.

Gutted there is no Nordschleife day 1. But i'm gonna be hitting this game hard for the remainder of my sub so not gonna complain.

@Pusher2021 IK+ , would love a modern version with todays tech. And throw in a version of Panzer Kick boxing for good measure.

It would be great if they just added a blank tab that you could customize with your own preferred icons, background and shortcuts. Then give us a setting to boot to that tab when you turn on the box. They could still keep the main dash how it is now for those that like ads, 2 groups and 8 lines of GP stuff. That will keep everyone happy, job done.

@Titntin Yeah same bud. Well it will be a nice change going into a game fresh. Doesn't happen much these days. TDU was really good in Hawaii, so will be good taring round the coast again

@Titntin I'm looking forward to giving it a go. I've had tons of fun from Horizon over the years. Will be good to try something different. I missed the demo, did you try it?

For anyone interested, it's on CD keys 63 quid for the bells and whistles edition with the early access.

Xbox - Fenyx Rising and Raiden 4 Mikado
PS5 - Resogun and Miles Morales
PC - Mame

@ZYDIO I know where you're coming from pal, you just have to try your best to accept where we're at now, as hard as that can be sometimes.
I'm well into my 50's and I've been gaming since the start and it's mad to think how much it's evolved to where we are now.
I realised years ago that they don't really make games for my generation anymore but that's fine as theirs still loads out there.

But on a positive note. We have got several great platforms to game on, more games than ever to play, games look better than ever and with Epic, Game Pass, Ps Plus and Steam and all the deals they offer it's cheaper than ever.
Don't give up your hobby mate .
And yes, the new dash is gash!

Hubris or trying to shoot themselves in the foot? I remember Street Fighter v Tekken getting hammered for this back in the day.

@Kaloudz Sean Bean, The King of Yorkshire

@Kaloudz I say it as I see it Kaloudz old bean lol.

To be honest I will only play these games if there are reward points tied to them. But people saying indie games aren't worth playing is totally wrong. ( To the Hovis music) 'when I were a lad all games were indie games' And fanboys could only be found in certain types of clubs lol.

You lot should just get a room and have at it . I have Ultimate and Plus extra. There's tonnes of games on each service. I think some of you are a little angry about the ABK deal. I personally don't think it's good for gaming, but you know what...it's gonna go through so just deal with it. If you can't play nice, go get a picture of Phil or Jim, whichever one you see with the halo and play with yourself

He's an absolute dream

Lazy arse devs.

@themightyant
As I said at the time they are ALL at it and 'don't throw stones in glass houses'.
That is it in a nutshell mate. Anyone of a certain age knows full well that Microsoft have always been aggressive with their marketing and business strategies, so I guess it is what it is.
The only folks who defend this are 'plastic praisers'. And this site like it's sister site are full of them.

At least it comes to GP day 1. I was gonna buy it but not now. I imagine those that live in poor internet areas will be a little disapointed buy this.

@Barry_Biscuits Top quality alliteration kidda

It was fun and I rinsed it. Doubt I will revisit though. It never grabbed me like the Nioh games. Elden Ring was a great game but couldn't bring myself to do the new game plus because of its size. Would love to see a Nioh remaster hit xbox , or maybe a new one.

God help us if there is ever a Call to Arms in the UK again lol.....

Sigh.....Sign of the times.

@gollumb82 Sad state of affairs when that is probably true lol

If Starfield comes out with these type of bugs these comment threads are gonna be gold

Blazblue cross-tag. Good fun if you like tag fighters.
