@Voltan yes but only for games on the subscription, now they've added the ability to stream some games that you own that aren't on the subscription library.

"pod out" isn't actually a phrase is it?

Oh, and that's why it was taken off PS Plus Premium/PS Now, so they could charge more later on. Shame.

It was included with PS Now for ages. So if it's just a port it really should either go into PS Plus Premium or get a budget priced release.

Consider me VERY interested in Need for Drive...

Why on earth is the Fast and the Furious soundtrack playing over Prince of Persia?

I'd bet around 10% of them have actually downloaded and played it

I'm kind of interested, it looks beautiful of course, but I know the dialogue is going to bore me to tears. Sooo wordy and slow and po faced

Had no idea it was an issue. Thought she was a good Ada

Having a blast with this.

Coming from the likes of Horizon FW it feels very stiff and slow, but once you get used to it again, it's great.

A masterpiece of video game making- always keeps things moving, great atmosphere, humourous, totally unrealistic but also very immersive.

My tip is to turn off HDR as it doesn't really work properly and makes everything look washed out and weird.

@jmac1686 agree on the PS5 version. The image feels sub HD, and the lighting is all over the place, with weird colour tints and it taking a noticeable amount of time to adjust to light or dark environments. I still love the game but the likes of God of War, and even Resident Evil Village actually, put this to shame technically

I may have bought slightly more than 1 copy

Just replayed it. Excellent video game. Exhausting story.

Wasn't going to shell out for this any time soon, but the TV series had me yearning for another go, and well, this is the best version of it.

Fired up the PS4 remaster for a comparison, and against even that, the PS5 remake really is a stunning upgrade. The lighting is gorgeous throughout, the cinematics are quite incredible now, and the violence feels even more visceral and shocking. Things like the snow and water effects must be some of the best out there.

I would have liked more of a remix of item locations, and some additional content; maybe bigger levels, open up some of those fenced off streets and buildings, shake up the plank and pallet puzzles a bit with some head scratchers, give the enemies some new skills and vehicles...

But all things considered, it's still an all time great of a game, and hits hard every time you revisit it.

Yes.
We need a combined Red Dead 1&2 remaster on current gen consoles, with RDR 1 running in the sequel's map. Makes so much sense.

I've only played the campaign, but loved it. A perfect balance of arcade and simulation. I've bought it twice in fact, disc and digital, so you're welcome Bandai Namco.

And pay for it using discounted credit (e.g. Shopto) for another 15% off.

@Pathfinder3497 reckon you'll be waiting about 2-3 years

This review is a little harsh now. The technical issues have largely been fixed, other than the occasional frame rate drop.
The story does take too long to get interesting, and but then the mystery is solved very quickly. It's an interesting enough plot though.

The characters can irritate a little, but overall they're not too bad.

Worth a play through for Supermassive fans and horror fans in general. 7/10.

Would prefer a new set of characters in the Last of Us universe, Walking Dead style. Abbie is not an interesting character at all.

Very disappointed, I started Undead Nightmare last week, only to be told it was about to leave the service. RDR is truly a masterpiece, still a joy to play today. Not many games can touch the acting and script, the sound design, the environments.

Surely a port of the Xbox or PC version to PS4/PS5 is reasonably possible? Lots of people would lap it up.

This has even got me considering an Xbox. Things must be serious.

Atari era game industry collapse vibes

Already getting some nostalgia looking at that photo of PS4 games. This will go down as an absolute golden era for single player gaming.

GOTG for me, 10/10

Death Stranding
Red Dead Redemption 2
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Horizon Zero Dawn.

Last of Us 2 would be in there if the story wasn't so miserable and frustrating.

Honourable mention and a 9/10 for Days Gone, overlong but quite underrated IMO.

@Titntin I think your point about the archival value is important and one that few people think about. Given that most new release discs are incomplete games, and that many need an internet connection anyway, a disc has less archival value than it used to.

I went digital for PS5 as I value the convenience and don't mind waiting for sales, but still buy the odd disc for collectable and archival purposes. Not many fully patched discs on PS5 yet, though Stray might be an exception.

(And don't forget maybe half of all releases, albeit mostly indies, don't even come out on disc, or only on stupidly overpriced limited runs).

As for plastic concerns, I think physical media is a rare case where plastic is a necessary evil, as it lasts so long. I worry more about food and drink packaging which makes up the vast majority of plastic waste.

One console model greatly simplifies manufacturing for Sony, though doubt it will lead to savings for the customer.

But more pertinently, it will nudge more people into an all digital way of consuming games. Which is the end game for console manufacturers of course.

@riceNpea they almost certainly do. An unfortunate necessity to keep the site running I expect.

1. Capcom developer opens up PS5 version
2. Turns off ray tracing, FPS down to 30.
3. Here is your PS4 version.

Far too expensive to buy at launch for a repeat play, but will no doubt have a run through in future.

It's a shame they've not expanded the levels or encounters at all. There's so many buildings and "streets behind the barriers" they could've made explorable. A mode to shuffle the enemy locations would have been a nice addition too.

@belmont I agree, A Short Hike is a great little game, charming and concise.
Very child friendly as well, my 6 year old daughter loved it.

@IonMagi woah, Dino Crisis is a great addition.

Wish they'd add more PS1 games. Had a fun play through the Resident Evil Director's Cut, and definitely appreciated the conveniences of Rewind and save anywhere.

@HarmanSmith Same. They did one for HFW and GT7 but not for games like Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, the Director's Cuts, Last of Us P1 (only in US), Returnal, Miles Morales, Sackboy and now Ragnorak.

It's a shame as without the special versions I'll just go digital when they're on sale. Not interested in a big box of collectible statue clutter, but I do like a nice Steelbook edition.

@soracloud28 Shadow warrior 3 left yesterday

Sony seem to have stopped doing Steelbook/Limited Editions for a lot of first party games, which makes me sad

@AFCC Sony have already said they will announce additions to the Extra and Premium libraries separately from the Essentials. Two weeks apart IIRC.

1. Add to library
2. Never play

I thanka-you. See ya next month.

Good on them for persevering. I would imagine they're aiming to recover revenue with a Gamepass/ PS Plus inclusion.

The original GOAT.

Was an incredible leap forward when you consider we were all playing 2D platformers until a year or two before this came out.

I wonder why you can't view and 'purchase' the PS3 games from the mobile App.

@KidBoruto yes it would be better if they stayed, but that would incur a much larger subscription fee. An inherent compromise in the rental service.

@Snake_V5 as Liam says, this is incorrect, you will lose access to the Extra and Premium games.

PS Now games used to also get added to your library as if you'd bought them, but then they'd become locked when they left PS Now. This is how Gamepass works on Xbox too.

Yeah these are the PS Now expiration dates.

Been playing SW3. It's fun, like a simplified Doom Eternal. But pretty repetitive and a bit annoying in places.

@dschons ah yes are you thinking of the room with the fishing lures (in the RE1 remake)?

@stu123 I don't recognise it from any game but it feels a bit like it could be in Detroit Become Human

Bored at work so ..

Helmets from Returnal and Demons Souls?
Butterflies - Ghost of Tsushima?
Weird fish and flowers: Don't know but feel a bit Horizony

Trophies: Gran Turismo, sports games?
Fridge photos: Red Dead 2, NBA 2K, Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal

Basement: Death Stranding BB, Bloodborne blade, HZD watcher, Firefly pendants from LOU, underwater mine from Uncharted? , Weapons cabinet could be various games but includes a GoT sword and guns from e.g. Days Gone and Last of Us, Death Stranding mask, GoT mask.

Think I glimpsed some armour too, maybe Kratos.

And the monster behind the door... Could be the creatures from the caves in Uncharted or a Days Gone freaker?

Nathan Drake's coin.

Didn't recognise the alien bones or the thing swimming in blood.

A lot of these seem to have been removed because it's against eBay rules to sell a pre-order earlier than 30 days ahead. Good.

Report them if you see them.

They've certainly not been sold, you can check Sold items.

Agreed, still a fantastic game and it runs very smoothly on PS5 but no significant difference that I noticed vs. PS4 Pro (to the naked eye).

@messimagician it's PS4 only but works on PS5. I don't think there is a need for a separate PS5 version, this would run on a Mega Drive.

Would fancy that Firefly Edition if it surfaces in UK or Europe
