One step beyond<\/strong>
I\u2019ve been playing EA Sports FC 24 over the weekend as well and I think I\u2019d generally agree with GC\u2019s appraisal so far. You could imagine it being FIFA 24, but there are more changes than usual, like that one year in each generation where they go all out and you see a major step up from what it used to be. It\u2019s still the same thing but you do feel it\u2019s hit another milestone.<\/p>\n

Despite what the Ultimate Edition box art would have you believe, the graphics are very good and I think PlayStyles works great. The whole role-playing element is very good and, as you said, something that, in hindsight, they\u2019ve been building towards for years.<\/p>\n

People complained that FIFA was always the same year to year but I think it\u2019s like fighting games where you\u2019re always going to struggle with new ideas to come up with \u2013 and fighting games have got years between them, not just 12 months.<\/p>\n

The worst thing about any sports game these days is the microtransaction, but if you take that out of the equation I think EA Sports FC 24 could well be the best football game so far and a clear step above FIFA.

Secret files<\/strong>
I don\u2019t in any way condone hackers but it would be a supreme irony if the only way we found out about Sony\u2019s future plans is via someone literally ripping the information out of their hands. It sounds like the hackers are maybe pretending they got away with more than they did but what would we even expect to see if we could \u2013 I dunno \u2013 access Jim Ryan\u2019s laptop or something?<\/p>\n

Would we find dozen of previously unannounced games? Would there be an obvious explanation for the current silence? A reason that they\u2019ve not done a single thing with PlayStation VR2 since launch? Or would the hard drive be mostly empty and actually they\u2019ve only got a few things on the go at the moment?<\/p>\n

I honestly don\u2019t know and the long Sony go without announcing anything the more surreal and inexplicable it all gets. More than two years since they announced a new single-player game? Surely they won\u2019t make it two years, but would you bet against them at this point?

RE: Orgen letter on space games. Try Endless Space 2. I\u2019ve been playing it on Xbox Game Pass; it\u2019s for the Xbox Series X\/S but you can play it on Xbone through the cloud. Takes a while to get used to the controls but once you do it\u2019s great. No on-foot stuff, just piloting around the galaxy. There are stories and missions, it\u2019s the nearest to old style Elite of all the space games.<\/p>\n

Good combat, first or third person views, trading, mining, upgrade your ship or buy a better one\u2026 I think it\u2019s only single-player. I like it anyway.

GC: <\/strong>We\u2019re pretty sure you mean Everspace 2, which is indeed a good call for space-based games.<\/em><\/p>\n

Interactive fandom<\/strong>
In the late 90s there was a movie called Cube which was created on a very low budget of $250,000, at the time about \u00a3200,000, and it exceeded expectations. The movie was way better than expected. A fan-made version of a game of this movie has been done and this is ongoing and getting more upgrades.<\/p>\n

I often wonder if the owners of the movie and creator of the game would consider working with a studio to make this into a full completed game and would like to ask if GameCntral has ever heard of this movie and if so what they think of the fan-made game.

GC: <\/strong>We saw the film back in the day, but this is the first we\u2019re hearing of a fan game.<\/em><\/p>\n
