Topic: PlayStation Plus | OT |

I would really like it if they ported across some of the trilogy is that aren’t on PS4 yet and put them straight on PlayStation plus.

Stuff like the Sly cooper trilogy, the Resistance trilogy and the Killzone trilogy.

@Ryall I'd rather they just put ps4 games on plus, whether that be remastered versions of ps3 games or actual ps4 titles. Straight ports would be a terrible idea this late in the generation. Plus how would that even work as you can't play ps3 games natively on ps4. You can always use PS NOW if you wanna play ps3 games on your ps4. It is rumoured that Insominac could be working on a remastered Resistance collection or a fourth game for ps5.

I never owned a PS3, so for me these remasters are perfect Plus offerings. Although I can fully understand people not being extatic about games they played years ago.

Yep, I was pretty much all Ninty until PS4 so these remasters are great to play with my subscription. The PS3 games were mostly limited to what my Dad gave us with the phat boi, which was mostly CoD and a copy of Skyrim we plowed 2000 hours into. Mostly just played Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 on PS2 instead of actual games so I’m glad I won’t miss out on them. I do wish they’d add PS1 and more PS2 games to Now though.

@Arugula In a way I’ve been with Playstation since birth but my first proper console was the Cube. I had PS1 but was literally a baby and the discs were seemingly tasty. I got a PS2 in 2007 and a PS3 in 2013 so Ninty were my main consoles but I did a big catch up at the end of each gen. It’s a weird way to do it but I do appreciate the HD collections as they mean I don’t have to hunt down old copies of games or possibly turn to nefarious means.

@Arugula Yeah, interesting that Shadow of the Colossus has been given out twice on PS Plus — once as a PS3 remaster and now again as a PS4 remake.

@Arugula Well it’s a full on remake rather than just the PS2 game. It’s a big enough game that plenty people would be happy regardless.

Even if you just started with PS with a PS4 you can get a PS3 and PS2 pretty cheap nowadays and just play the games you missed that way. All model PS3's play PS3 and PSone games, and if you are lucky enough to get an OG PS3 then you can play PS2 games on it as well.

Quick question about ps plus,... Is it still the case that if your membership lapses that when you eventually renew, you can regain access to the ps plus games you redeemed from before it lapsed?

Just wondering because my membership is about to lapse and there are no really good deals on a 12 month membership at the moment so I thought I'd wait and see if any deals come up before the end of next month. I've already claimed this month's games, so I'll just bite the bullet for next month's games if there's not a better deal before the end of April.

@ralphdibny I believe the answer is yes - if your PS Plus lapses and then you rejoin later, your games from before are still there when you come back. I hope I’m telling you correctly, because that’s the way it used to be, so long as it hasn’t changed recently.

@Th3solution nice one cheers, yeah it defo used to be the case but can't seem to find it on the support page any more or get through to the support chat and with the amount of games changing not too long ago, I wondered if any other changes had gone under the radar...oh well I got 3 days left on it so i still have time to decide what to do. Just gutted I didn't pick up one of those 29.99 deals over Xmas!

@ralphdibny I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the games stay with you a bit longer, instead of not being available straight away.

@JohnnyShoulder hmm that's weird, maybe I'll try it if I let the sub lapse. It still says cloud saves remain available if you lapse and resub later but you can't access them in the interim. Not that it matters because I don't use cloud saves!

Currently the price is 38.99 which I know is only £9 more than the Christmas deal but it still irks me to pay that extra especially as it's close to the full price of the sub when I joined a few years back.

@ralphdibny yeah once you renew you regain access to any PS+ game you added to your library , i let mine lapse all the time as i always buy PS+ cards when i find a good deal and i never had an issue accessing my games once i renewed

@FullbringIchigo nice one, cheers I won't hurry to do it then though somehow I doubt there will be a big sale between now and April 30th. Worse comes to worse, I lose a hundred games that I haven't been fussed enough to play up until now so hopefully won't be a huge loss

@ralphdibny Are you in the UK? If so, Shopto always have PS+ subs at a cheaper price than RRP. 12 months is currently £39.85, 3 months £16.85 and 1 month £6.85 is. CD Keys do this also, but i don't use em. Use Shopto all the time though.

@JohnnyShoulder yes mate, cheers. I normally use cd keys, I think the last couple I've got from there have been 15 month ones for that sort of price but they've stopped doing them now. But I'll probably use either them or shop to next time I buy the sub. It's currently sitting at 39ish pounds but it was 30 over Xmas which is why I'm hesitant to spend the extra cash on it. Just me being a tightwad lol

@ralphdibny I hear ya, I've never paid full price for a ps+ sub. I'm too keen on keep topping it up as you never known what might happen further down the line. I also buy PS store credit from them as it works out cheaper.

@JohnnyShoulder for real, I knew I shoulda done it at Xmas but I just have this voice in my ear (the misses) saying oh just wait, you don't need it yet lol

I think as well, because I'm not planning to get ps5 until it is much much cheaper, the value of ps plus may become limited for me after its release. I know they only stopped 3 and Vita games last year but I don't imagine anyone would want to pay for the months of their subscription that they're not getting any games on a platform they own

@ralphdibny I’m pretty sure we will continue to get a “free” PlayStation four games for at least another three years. Sony will have to give us a years notice before they stop anyway.
