Greedfall PS5 Version Out Next Week Along with Big Expansion

does the people that got this game through ps+ get the ps5 upgrade as well?

@LordOfTurnips I should think so!

@LordOfTurnips My exact question as well - For FF7 Remake, you did NOT get a free upgrade if from PS Plus. Which was rather infuriating.

@LordOfTurnips im glad you asked lol

@LordOfTurnips That’s my question as well…I do play this game regularly, and would be nice thing knowing the PS5 upgrade circumstances…since it was one of the free game of PS Plus in 2021. Will it be a free update for all versions of game + paid dlc or the FF7 integrated case after being in ps plus in April 2021…

We'll see in less than a week, I guess?

I noticed the update this morning when messing around on the 5. I'm intrigued by this game but haven't given it a go yet. Too much in my backlog at the moment! 😬

Horrible game.

It’s a British exploitation/exploration simulator. A good way to solve things and an evil way are present in the game with choices on slavery, nobility and combat. Magic, guns and swords. A Victorian game style.

Might have to give it a go to try out the expansion.

A very rough game, but I still enjoyed it non the less.
Reminded me a lot of the older and arguably better Bioware RPGs.
Not sure I'd be interested in replaying it again though.

The game is pretty decent. While the Push Square review hits the nail on the head (Its good but never quite hits great) its still quite enjoyable and to be honest there isn't a huge number of games that scratch the same itch.

Yes!!! I love this game! One of my favorites in recent years, super pumped for this! I was waiting to get the platinum (hard mode play through) until the upgrade

Couldn't get into the game. Combat felt really clunky and frustrating. Might give it a try at 60FPS though

@Wolfie_Pie Yeah same. I got as far as the tutorial and hated the combat. Might play better with the improved framerate though

I really enjoyed the game when it came out. They try REALLY hard to make a Bioware game, and do a pretty good job. I seriously applaud their efforts and where their heart is. That said, it was still a bit of a AA experience, or sort of a good game at the end of the PS3's lifecycle instead of one near the end of the PS4's.

My choice will now be to buy the expansion and replay the game now, when I have absolutely zero other games I'm playing, or wait to play it on the PS5 at some unknown later date.

@ISD1982 You should. Tried it first on consoles and didn't like the combat, then again on PC. Felt much better at 60 FPS.

Nice... liked the main game and another PS5 Free upgrade is great news.

@Rudy_Manchego how is it infuriating? There've been a few games on PS Plus where only the PS5 version was free, leaving PS4 owners unable to claim and play a game that was available for them to buy for PS4. But you're given a playable game without a free upgrade and that's infuriating?

I mean I claimed, played and loved FF7R and there's zero chance I'm paying £70 for merely quicker load times and Yuffie DLC (there are graphical improvements too but they're not exactly earth shattering - tbh with most PS5 free upgrades it seems all you're really getting is resolution + framerate + load times. Which is good but I'm a PC gamer too, so I'm used to those things simply being the result of sliders in the graphics settings/installing an SSD, not releasing a whole different version of a game). But I'm not mad at Square Enix - they're just not getting that much money for so little benefit

@ISD1982 once the skill trees open up combat becomes a lot more varied and fun

Ahh I got quite far into this and then Returnal took over and I haven’t gone back to it. It was a bit janky so I might go back with a PS5 upgrade! It’s been an ok game, it’s a little repetitive and I found it a bit annoying doing a quest and going back to speak to someone to then have go back out to rinse and repeat... but be intrigued to see how it looks

Had my eye on greedfall for a while and if we do get a free PS5 upgrade I may finally have a go. Probably not for a while seeing as the Euro’s are on then the Lions tour of South Africa so will probably be drunk every weekend till August watching sports 🥴

I've been meaning to give this a try for a long time. Its hard to find the time for "good" games these days. With so much to play if a game does not scream great its rare I find myself taking a look. I'm guessing I miss out on a lot of good games this way.

I'm playing it at the moment, it's a flawed gem. The modest budget means all areas basically look the same, including internal mansion layouts, and the combat isn't particularly deep, you'll be fighting the same half a dozen enemies the entire game but the role playing is great. How all the quests interlock and affect each other is something AAA RPGs could learn from, the Age of Sail setting hasn't been done to death and plot/characters are compelling enough to keep you pushing forward. One tip to immediately improve the game is too lower the camera stick sensitivity.

I played a magic user and the combat was very basic but overall i enjoyed my time with Greedfall.

@LordOfTurnips I doubt it..

Underrated game and I hope Spiders (no relation) keeps aiming upward. Most issues can be directly tied to the budget, yet the game can surprise you and outclasses many “AAA” RPGs in a lot of ways.

Thank goodness. I had to shelve this game. The frame rate wasn’t awful, but just extra clunky due to the frame rate. I enjoyed what I played of it. It seemed to run better on my pro than my PS5 for some reason.

May give it a go down the road. New World drops in August though and I’ll wait to see how that’s received first. Don’t think I need two colonization RPGs in one year

I enjoyed it for what it was. Good but not great sums it up. Ill jump in and see how much the upgrade helps the game.

Is this as difficult as The Technomancer and Bound by Flame?

Playing the game at the moment, might buy the DLC since I did get the game from Plus so it's the least I can do to help the devs.

@danlk1ng The infuriating element, to me, is the uncertainty and knowledge. Also, I think you missed some of my main points.

1) You use the word free. I rent these games with my subscription. I do not own them, they are dependent on me maintaining a payment to Sony.

2) By claiming a copy of FF7 Remake you are unable to buy a digital upgrade seperately OR to buy a copy of the PS4 game digitally to upgrade. If you wish a digital copy, you must buy the PS5 version at £70. As you say, is this worth it?

3) It's great you have a PC and use that to play high resolution games. Of course, I don't believe Final Fantasty VII remake is on PC as yet (though I have no doubt of a port in future). As someone that has invested in a PS5 at launch and there is an upgraded version available, why would I not want to play that version?

Ultimately, I may sound like an entitled gamer (tm) but I feel it is reasonable that there should be a clear upgrade path on a title that I received as part of a subscription rather than have to buy the game entirely fresh again. If that costs some, then I am OK with that but why would I pay £70 as you pay for an upgrade on a title that I have technically already paid for.

I mean, of course, the actual solution in my case was to pay £15 for a second hand copy on PS4 and get the upgrade for free but then nobody really wins there except the person I bought it of. He was called Roy.

@LiamCroft is the expansion for the ps5 only?

@danlk1ng some gamers get infuriated over nothing. I truly wonder how they survive each day with things offending them left and right.

@LordOfTurnips
I hope so. I'm holding off playing it for that reason

This is one of those games that I know isn't great and yet I still kinda really like it.
