Undisputed out this week, finally a new boxing game to try out

Can anyone help me. Been wanting to buy a retro console for a while but it's a bit of minefield. Seen these Super Consoles and one is a X GK Pro with 72000 games on 2 terabytes. Then there is a cheaper one which is a X Pro 256gb with 117000 games. Don't really understand it all. Don't want to buy something and it doesn't run well but don't really have a clue to be honest. Any help or anyone who knows a good one to buy it would be much appreciated. Thanks

I looked at some reviews for those same Super Console X's that were linked above and they looked ace. If you fancy any of those consoles just put their name in youtube and usually the first few longer results are reviews going through the whole process from unboxing to playing several games.

Would recommend. Bargain.

Absolutely no way did the random crack I found on Reddit work.

Just finished my 2nd play through. Just as beautiful as the first. The soundtrack and art are just next level.

I know this is hardly breaking news, but FM25 delayed til March. Conveniently it was the free game on Epic recently. Will save me an few months of Game Pass to tide me over til the new version actually comes out.

So a game that’s supposed to start by replicating the current season and beyond isn’t out till 2 months before the season ends?

Yep! Tbh it usually comes out 2/3 months into the season anyway!

May as well just hang fire with it and bring out FM26 in August.

Not invested in this at all, but it would destroy their earnings reports if they don't release with the financial year.

That's why it's end of March, just time to squeeze some income in. Personally, I agree with you.

The story for me is that they had years to get the switch to the new engine right but have ballsed it up so badly that it could bankrupt them.

 

[Charro]

Yeah, they’ve made an absolute mess of this.

How does this work going forward?

Will it now be released in March every year?

Oh yeh it’s all about money. Why release one game on time when you can ship 2. I don’t play FM myself but I’d be pissed if it had a knock-on effect to FM26.

The sensible thing for them to do would be to offer a free patch/update for FM26, take the hit and start fresh with FM27.

But they won’t, because money.

 

[DualityNSNO]

FM DLC incoming obviously.

People would've been happy to pay a fiver or whatever for updated official databases and patchfixes, no doubt, for 24, but as you've all said - money.

They keep axing features as well, hilariously. Absolutely ballsed it up.
