@brewersteve It’s supposed to be used outside of your house, I assume? So on 5G or wifi? If you use it indoors I don’t see a reason to not simply use your PS5 that’s connected to a much bigger screen.
I read the whole article and still don’t understand how this is different than a handheld. It IS a handheld, right? But one you can only play the games with that are active on your PS5 at that moment?
Good to know I can skip downloading all three Essential games once again, like almost every month. Extra makes up 95% of PS Plus nowadays. Luckily Extra is great.
I'd rather have a complete game at once instead of fragments every now and then that make you revisit the game over and over. When will GT7 finally be complete?
BloodBorne still holds a solid 5th position. I’ve also read it’s hard to play because of the low framerate. Should I wait for an update for the PS5 or just go for this version?
Do we already know if it’s possible to buy the DLC after playing the PS Plus version of the main game? I (think I) finished it on disc last year and sold it afterwards. I’m planning on doing a new run on Plus since I already replayed ZD last month.
Really nice month once again! One small irritation; why does Sony mails you a receipt for every game you “purchase”? I just add them to my library, I don’t need a confirmation.
By the way, I wouldn’t automatically assume it’ll be delayed. Don’t forget Horizon is the big seller to push VR2. You don’t want the DLC to compete with its sister game.
I’m mainly interested in the way they release it. Since FW is on Plus now, will the DLC be available for a small amount on top of that copy, or won’t the Plus version and DLC be connectable like FF7 Remake in the past?
No updates I would ever use. My only wish is a rather simple one; let us personalize the home screen with colors/themes. Just like the PS4 and Xbox have.
@Batesy125s So true. I played the game for over 250 hours and almost every time it would calm me down after a day of work. The music, gameplay and cinematography all just clicked on another level.
Nothing for me here, but that’s totally fine. Previous months including Extra plus Game Pass have provided me with a backlog I’ll never be able to clear.
@icecube No one knows. I have the feeling PlayStation exclusives won't be deleted since they're not/less dependent of contracts with third parties, but I'm not sure if this is true.
@themightyant You’re right. I’ll just add it to my library and will see if I feel like playing it. It’s nothing more than a luxury problem having so many games available with my Premium and Game Pass subscriptions.
Still in doubt whether I should play this. How fun will this be if you haven’t played the original so won’t have nostalgic feelings? Will it be playable when used to modern games?
@Grimwood Not true, Elle Fanning really is that one of a kind actress. If you would have replaced her in The Neon Demon the whole atmosphere of the movie would have changed. I’m sure the same goes for DS2.
It goes too far to call it a crap selection month after month; it's (PS Plus as a whole, including Extra and Premium) just not the service I hoped it would be. I had high hopes when the three tiers launched with titles such as Demon's Souls and Returnal but after that I've been disappointed every month. I just don't feel like playing all these old games when there's so much around to play.
For this selection I might check out Mafia if it really is that good. The other three aren't interesting for me personally for different reasons (haven't played the base game of Destiny 2 and I'm not interested in arcade games and multiplayers). Evil Dead might have been my kind of game if it had a single player campaign.
I was a bit underwhelmed by the 7/10 score since I've been looking forward to this one a long time. (This time) fortunately though the score doesn't seem to reflect the review.
I guess it also has to do with the star rating system where you can't give a 7,5/10 for example, but it's not the first time the scores and reviews don't really seem to match. If you compare the negative tone of the Forspoken review and the positive tone of this one, you wouldn't think there's only 1 star between them.
Doesn't really matter though. The review gives a good impression and I'm still looking forward to it. Just like LIMA I'm interested in the duasense features so I can decide between playing it on PS5 or Series X.
@Cikajovazmaj Okay, I'm no expert in this field so it could very well not be overpriced. I'm just talking from a consumer's point of view that has little to none feeling with virtual reality yet. For me it would also be too big a gamble for this price. What if you pay 600 and get motion sickness after 5 minutes?
@get2sammyb Could be from a technical point of view (value for money). From a gamer’s perspective I just find it way too expensive for something that’s in my eyes a gimmick before I’ve been proven otherwise. For € 200 I might have taken the risk.
I’m sure that’s not realistic at all, but I think a lot of people think this way.
Good signal by the consumers. You can’t just keep asking these ridiculous prices. It’s still an expansion for your PS5 but it’s more expensive than the console itself.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Care About a PS5 Remote Play Handheld?
@carlos82 Thanks! Might be interesting then to use on holiday/in the train (playing games that are on your PS5).

Re: Meet Your Maker (PS5) - Raid and Build Concept a Great Idea Yet to Reach Its Potential
@Deemo37 I really like Game Pass though (I also have a Series X). Perhaps because this is my first Xbox and I hadn’t played any of those games.

Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for April 2023 Announced
Okay, Essential officially sucks. 10 out of 12 months are just terrible. Luckily Extra is amazing so I still get my money’s worth.
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Officially Details Huge PS5, PS4 1.31 Update, Out Today

Re: Poll: What Game Should Capcom Remake Next?
None, I think we’ve had plenty of remakes lately. Let them focus on something completely new instead.
Re: You Must Beat Horizon Forbidden West to Play PS5 DLC Burning Shores
@LiamCroft Cool, good to hear!
Re: You Must Beat Horizon Forbidden West to Play PS5 DLC Burning Shores
@LiamCroft Thanks! I think with FF7 Remake it wasn’t possible that way?

Re: Resident Evil 4 (PS5) - A True Masterpiece Made Even Better
Ah yes, so it delivers despite the huge expectations. I’m in!
@LiamCroft I haven’t played the original and have played RE2 Remake. Should I play 3 Remake as well to prepare for this game?
Re: Best Horror Games on PS5
These lists are often quite confusing. How can a game that was reviewed 5/10 on this very site be the 6th best horror game for PS5?
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Game for April Revealed Early
What about the Extra/Premium games for March? So far we've only heard part of the lineup without a release date, if I'm right?

Re: CHVRCHES Would 'Be There in a Second' if Kojima Wanted to Collaborate on Death Stranding 2
@Batesy125s So true. I played the game for over 250 hours and almost every time it would calm me down after a day of work. The music, gameplay and cinematography all just clicked on another level.

Nothing for me here, but that’s totally fine. Previous months including Extra plus Game Pass have provided me with a backlog I’ll never be able to clear.
Re: Poll: What PS5, PS4 Games Are You Most Looking Forward to in March 2023?
RE4 on PS5 and Wo Long on Series X/Game Pass.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra Games for March 2023 Announced Early
Wow, Scarlet Nexus and Ghostwire are the two games I didn’t buy because I hoped they’d end up on Plus! Uncharted 4 might be a nice revisit as well.
Re: Elden Ring Has Sold a Whopping 20 Million Copies Since Launch
Well deserved! It opened up a new world of gaming for me. After many years Returnal and ER made me see challenging games can actually be a lot of fun.
Re: Sony Adds Nine More PSVR2 Games to the Launch Window
@huyi And the early adopters using those early adaptors as well 😋
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium's Big 17 PS5, PS4 Game Refresh Available Now
@icecube No one knows. I have the feeling PlayStation exclusives won't be deleted since they're not/less dependent of contracts with third parties, but I'm not sure if this is true.
Re: PS1 Classic The Legend of Dragoon Does Indeed Have Trophies on PS5, PS4

Re: Atomic Heart (PS5) - Alt History Shooter with an Identity Crisis
@Voltan Even their own sister site Purexbox gave it a 7/10.
Anyway, I’ll just check it myself since it’s on Game Pass. If I can enjoy myself for a week it’s mission accomplished.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2023?
@Toypop Or people like me who bought it on release, sold it after finishing and now a year later feel like playing it again without having to pay.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 464
Zero Dawn, as part of a Horizon PS Plus run so I can try to understand the story of Forbidden West this time.
Re: Best Racing Games on PS5
@Kidfunkadelic83 Cool, will check out WRC then. I loved 9.
Re: Best Racing Games on PS5
Is this an old list? Or are for instance F1 22 and WRC Generations not as good as their predecessors?
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2023 Possibly Leaked Early
Yes! Was already anticipating SN would end up on Plus eventually so I didn’t buy it.
RE:7 on the other hand would be the same cheap trick once again.
Re: The Future Looks Bright for Destiny 2, Through Lightfall and Beyond
@Stragen8 Thanks, I’ll play something else then. Life’s too short to waste on uninviting games.
Re: The Future Looks Bright for Destiny 2, Through Lightfall and Beyond
@nomither6 What do you mean with that? I was thinking about starting D2 for the first time but is it not recommended if you haven’t played it before?
Re: Kojima Would Have Had to Rewrite Death Stranding 2 if Elle Fanning Refused the Role
@Grimwood Not true, Elle Fanning really is that one of a kind actress. If you would have replaced her in The Neon Demon the whole atmosphere of the movie would have changed. I’m sure the same goes for DS2.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5 DualSense Controller Revealed, Out Tomorrow in Limited Supply
This looks like something an amateur made and sold via Aliexpress…
Re: Best PS Plus Games
Still those double entries such as Ghost of Tsushima. Is it a bug or is there a thought behind it?

Re: Poll: Did You Buy the Dead Space PS5 Remake?
I’m not sure what’s best, buying it now or waiting till it’s on Game Pass (the EA section). I’ve no idea if it will be added this year already.

@SoulChimera Same. Strange title since that is exactly what it says.
